About Course Descriptions

Applied music courses offer practical instruction in the performance of instrumental and vocal music and are open to all Cottey students. Cottey music faculty offer music lessons at all levels. Repertoires and techniques covered vary according to the needs and competencies of the student. Ensemble courses provide music students with opportunities for musical interaction and performance in group settings. To prepare adequately for transfer to a baccalaureate music major program, students should take applied music and ensemble courses each semester in residence.

Music courses marked with a bullet (•) may be repeated once for credit. Those marked with two bullets (••) may be repeated for credit as many times as needed.
