Woodwind, Brass, String, Piano, and Percussion MM students must take two semesters of chamber music. These two semesters may be taken for 0 or 1 credit (MUEN 852 or MUEN 844P [Percussion Ensemble], which may count as chamber music for percussionists) per semester, and up to 2 credits may be used to fulfill the required hours for the degree. Students whose chamber literature is severely limited may petition the Graduate Committee for an exemption to this requirement.
This rule is independent of the Large Ensemble rule, in which keyboard and guitar majors may audition for any Group I ensemble or substitute faculty-coached chamber ensembles. Thus keyboard and guitar majors may enroll for up to six (6) credits of chamber music.
