Music: Private Lessons

All full-time Calvin University students may enroll in private or instrument lessons. Part-time students and dual-enrollment students must first receive permission from the department chair before enrolling in private lessons.

An additional fee will be charged for all private music lessons, based on the type and length of the lesson; see music department website for current rates. Refunds will be issued to students who drop lessons, according to Calvin's reimbursement guidelines for tuition refunds. No refund of lesson fees will be issued after 38 calendar days. See the Financial Information  pages in this catalog and the Music Department website for details.

Students enrolling in private lessons for the first time at Calvin University may be required to take a placement audition. For a complete description of private music lesson policies and expectations, please see the Music Department website.

Music: Ensembles

Membership in ensembles is open to Calvin students who meet the requirements of musicianship. All students who want to participate in any of the music ensembles at Calvin may audition by arrangement with the conductor prior to each semester.

All ensembles carry academic credit. Ensembles may not be audited. If a student is already registered for 17 semeter hours, they may register for the ensemble for 0 credit to avoid the overload fee. See the Music Department website for more details.
