All Applied Instruction courses will begin using the “R” numbers beginning in the Fall 2020 semester. Freshmen who are currently taking MUS 11__ - level lessons will continue using this course number for their sophomore year. Sophomores who pass the Advanced Study Jury in May will take lessons at the 33__-level in the fall. Sophomores who do not pass the ASJ will take MUS 11__-level lessons. All students who have already passed the ASJ will take MUS 33__-level lessons.
As a result of this change all 22__- and 44__- level applied study courses will be discontinued along with all of the A, B, D, E, and F sections.
