Important Notes:

  1. Voice study may be waived by petition and approval by the chairs of both the conducting and voice faculties when a student's background is deemed to warrant such action.  In this case the credits must be replaced.
  2. Students must demonstrate a reading knowledge of French or German equivalent to two years of college study of one of these two languages.
