The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree: If you want to continue playing horn and making music, but don't intend to make a career of it and wish to major in something else, the B.A. is for you. You'll gain enough skill and knowledge to keep music as an important part of the rest of your life, while the reduced requirements of the B.A. allow you more time to acquire a major in another area. B.A. horn students are eligible for music scholarships and study with the horn professorThe B.A. in music is a nonprofessional degree that enables those who are majoring in other subjects to take music courses, lessons, play in ensembles and have reduced music course requirements.
B.A. program concentrations are composition, music history, and performance. 


Music Minor - you can minor in music for one step down from the B.A.; you are, however, thus a nonmajor and not eligible for a music scholarship; lessons are with the Horn TA.

Nonmajor horn players are eligible to take nonmajor horn lessons and - pending auditions - to take part in band, orchestra, chamber music, and horn choir. Nonmajor horn players take lessons with the horn studio teaching assistant. Music for Nonmajors - recommended courses.
