This is an independent learning option in music for qualified students working in consultation with a faculty advisor. The project may take the form of a course of readings and assignments, enabling the student to investigate a topic in music not otherwise available in the curriculum. It may also include a creative component (such as composition) or an experiential learning component (such as a professional performance opportunity, or a community outreach opportunity). A written proposal, signed by the faculty advisor, must be submitted to the Director of the School for approval by the last day of course selection in the previous semester.
