Music Minor
Auditions (Music Minor)
A successful music audition on a primary applied instrument or voice is required for admission to the music minor program. Audition requirements and an audition application are available at www.ut.edu/music/prospective/. For assistance and additional information contact music.audition@ut.edu.
Due to the similarity in degree requirements, Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre degree candidates are not eligible for the music minor, unless the primary applied performance area of their music minor is something other than voice.

The music minor has the following performance requirements:
- Students must take at least four credits of 200-level Studio Lessons courses (MUS: 247-267, 271-276) in their primary applied performance area.
- Students must complete a minimum of six ensembles (MUS: 192, 246, 289-314). Ensemble courses may be repeated for additional credit.
