If the course MUSC 561
Graduate Theory Review is recommended for you as a result of your exam, please
be aware that this course is currently offered only in the fall semesters and
does not count toward your degree. You will find information on the nature
of this exam and on how to prepare for it at:
https://creativeartsandmedia.wvu.edu/files/d/46ef0514-107f-4bd8-a48c-57ee9367334e/theory-entrance-exam-1.pdf
(You asked you to register for MUSC 561 in your initial registration – we can change that if necessary at our advising session.)
- All incoming master’s degree students must take a piano proficiency exam and address deficiencies before continuing in the degree program. You may schedule your piano proficiency directly with Dr. Lucy Mauro; contact her at Lucy.Mauro@mail.wvu.edu. This requirement must be met by the end of your first semester of study, December 2023. Information on this proficiency exam can be found here: https://www.music.wvu.edu/student-resources/graduate-piano-proficiency-exam
- For Music Education students, specific information about entrance exams, and piano and voice proficiencies will be sent in a follow-up email.
