Practical Instruction (MUIN courses)
Students in the Schulich School of Music may receive practical instruction in the principal instrument or voice in their major studies, or as a second instrument as part of a music performance minor. Practical Instruction is also known as private lessons and is designated by MUIN subject codes which has additional music fees tied to the regular tuition. Students are entitled to a maximum number of terms of lessons, which varies by program. See Tuition Fees, Practical Instruction Fees, and Lesson Quota for more information.
- Practical Instruction in Major Studies
Students enrolled in a Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.) and Licentiate in Music (L.Mus.) program need to complete the required practical instruction in their program. - Practical Instruction in Music Minor
B.Mus. students enrolled in a jazz performance minor or early music performance minor can register for practical instruction in the minor in addition to the required practical instruction in their major program.
Students are not permitted to only register for practical instruction in any given semester. Students are expected to register for other required academic course(s) for the program in the same semester for which they are taking practical instruction.
All new and returning students must submit a Practical Instruction Request Form by the assigned deadline if they wish to register for practical instruction and/or voice coaching lessons in the following academic year. Students cannot add MUIN courses on Minerva. The faculty will add the MUIN practical instruction registration to the student records once the practical instruction request has been approved. Students must register for at least one course in the academic year before the faculty can add MUIN course(s) to their records.
