MUSIC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Hamilton Holt Music major is unlike other majors. It cannot be completed solely in the evenings, nor can it be completed over an extended or indefinite period of time. The Holt student majoring in music is expected to have both days and evenings available for classes, lessons, ensembles, and concerts. All Holt music majors are held to the same time obligations required of Arts and Sciences students. It is a demanding major, which no student should try to undertake without a full commitment.

Students who wish to enter the Holt School music program follow a dual admission process. Acceptance into the Holt School through the Holt application process does not automatically admit the student to the music major. All prospective music majors must also audition for a faculty admission committee, which will also include an instructor in the major instrument, on one of the scheduled audition dates and interview with the Director of Music or Chair of the Music Department. Admission to the music major will be based on the student’s academic performance and musical abilities as well as departmental needs and the availability of space.

MUS 151 Theory I: Harmony
