| Private Music Lessons at Pomona College |
 |
Pomona College offers private music lessons on more than
twenty instruments, including piano, voice, guitar, organ,
harpsichord, and all standard orchestra and band
instruments, including harp and percussion. Each semester,
hundreds of students from all of the Claremont Colleges take
lessons through the music department.
Lessons and the Curriculum
Private music lessons are offered at two levels, Level I and
Level II. Considerable proficiency on the instrument is
required to be eligible for Level II lessons. Level II
lessons are open only to those students who have passed a
qualifying examination. At the beginning of any semester, if you will be performing
a qualifying examination, you may provisionally request
Level II lessons pending the outcome of that examination.
Level I lessons are for one half hour per week. Level II
lessons may be taken for either a half hour or a full hour
per week. Students at Level II are expected to show the
increased commitment and improved progress characteristic of
intermediate or advanced musical study. Level I lessons
award one quarter
credit (“cumulative credit”) per semester. Level II lessons
award one quarter credit per semester if taken for a half
hour per week, or one half credit per semester if taken for
an hour per week. Note that at least four semesters of Level
II lessons are required for music majors. If you are
thinking of being a music major, you will need to pass the
qualifying examination fairly early in your undergraduate
career, particularly if you are planning to take a semester
abroad.
