INSTRUMENTAL INSTRUCTUION FACULTY

Before beginning the Jazz BFA, each student is issued a booklet that describes the minimum skills that must be developed by the student on his/her instrument to demonstrate basic instrumental proficiency. Upon entry, all students are evaluated based on these guidelines. Students placing “in proficiency” (IP) are required to take private lessons with an assigned teacher deemed appropriate to the individual’s needs. Proficiency requirements and instrumental faculty are subject to change. Meeting proficiency standards is a graduation requirement.
