Studio Class
Although not for credit, some programs may require registration for this along with applied study.
Recitals
Students may register for WIND_PER 480 for zero credit, usually in the quarter that the recital is given. Students who do not present their recital during their residency should pursue Recital Continuation for the quarter when the recital is given.
Major Ensembles
Students must participate in either a major ensemble or a faculty-approved substitute in every quarter of residence. Assignment to an ensemble is determined by an audition and the decision of the faculty.
