Crossover Semester for Guitar Majors
All students enrolled in B.M. Jazz Studies Program as guitar majors are required to take one credit hour of classical guitar (one semester of one-half hour lessons) as part of their applied studies in jazz guitar. These students are also required to take two credit hours (one semester of hour lessons) in jazz guitar during the crossover semester. This crossover semester will normally take place in the junior or senior year. Scheduling of the crossover lessons and alternatives to a crossover in classical guitar should be done in consultation with the Jazz Guitar professor and advisor.
