Music Ensembles

Students from any major are encouraged to perform in Music Department ensembles and to enroll in other music courses.

Music courses may be used to fulfill the Humanities/Fine Arts component of the Baccalaureate Experience curriculum. Any music course may be used, although a maximum of four credit hours of studio/performance-oriented courses (e.g., Studio Lessons or ensembles) may be used to satisfy this requirement. Music courses may also fulfill the Art/Aesthetic component of the Baccalaureate Experience curriculum, when specified in the catalog (up until catalog year 2022-23).

Music Ensemble courses may be used to fulfill the Visual and Performing Arts distribution requirement for the Spartan Studies curriculum (starting with catalog year 2023-24).

Ensembles may be taken for 0 credit if the student’s total semester load is 18 credits or more. MUS 245 may count as an ensemble when described as an ensemble course. For assistance with enrollment in Music Department ensembles, contact music@ut.edu.
