Music

Required Courses for Graduation with the TAMS Diploma (Music Track)

All students are required to enroll in a mathematics course each semester of the first year. Placement in mathematics courses is determined by the student's score on the mathematics placement test given during summer orientation. Music students who complete Calculus II or higher their first year must take CSCE 1030 the fall semester of the second year.

The TAMS Music Track provides the foundation for students interested in pursuing careers in music. Students take classes in piano, theory, aural skills, and sound technology while participating in university-wide ensembles and taking private lessons from world-class instructors. After their time in TAMS, students have the opportunity to continue their studies at UNT and pursue degrees in performance, music education, jazz studies, composition, and theory.
