BCC Music Lessons: FAQs
Can anyone take music lessons? Are there any special requirements?
Any BCC student can take music lessons. Class lessons
have no additional fees or requirements; Applied lessons have
a corequisite and a fee.
What is the difference between "class" and "applied" lessons?
Applied lessons are private lessons, where each student
meets with the teacher individually; class lessons, designed for
beginners, are taught in small groups. In the BCC course schedule,
you can easily tell the difference: class (group) lessons have
specific days and times listed, while applied (private) lessons
are listed as TBA.
Which one should I take?
If you are a beginner (or near-beginner) and want to
take voice, piano, or guitar, take class lessons. Otherwise, take
applied (note corequisite below).
What are the requirements for taking class lessons?
None. Just sign up as you would for any class: either
go to the BCC
registration site or visit any BCC campus registration office.
(Note: do NOT use the Applied Music Registration form).
What are the requirements for taking applied (private) music
lessons?
All students may take applied lessons as long as they
are involved in some aspect of the music program (other than Appreciation).
This means that you must be concurrently enrolled in any music
course except MUL2010.
What specific corequisites qualify me to take applied lessons?
Check the Music
Class Schedule. Taking any course which begins with MU (except
MUL2010, Music Appreciation) qualifies you to take applied lessons
during that same semester.
Should I take hour or half hour lessons?
Normally, you should take half hour lessons unless you
meet one of the following: (1) you are a music major; (2) you
are a theatre major and want to take an hour of voice; (3) you
have already taken lessons for several years.
Are there special fees to take lessons?
Class lessons have no special fees. Applied (private)
lessons have a special fee, in addition to tuition, of $50 per
semester for a half hour lesson or $100 per semester for an hour
lesson.
How do I register?
Class lessons do not require special permission. You
may register for them the same way you register for any other
course: either go
to the BCC registration page or visit any BCC campus registration
office.
Applied lessons require special permission. Either fill
out the applied music registration form or come by the Central
Campus Music Department (Map).
