It must consist of at least two solo works of varying styles that demonstrate appropriate technical and musical ability, as well as scales, and other performance requirements specified by the student’s applied teacher.
- A working copy of the student’s transcript to verify satisfactory progress in MUSI 206 and MUSI 241.
