Non-Music Majors

The Department of Music at The College of New Jersey is proud to welcome students from all majors and all programs who wish to participate in our various programs, ensembles, and courses. By pursuing music studies at TCNJ, students can nurture and develop their love of music, continue to pursue interests from high school, earn College Core credit towards their degree program, meet students from all majors across campus, and perform in TCNJ’s beautiful concert halls! Opportunities for all students include a variety of minors, ensemble and performance opportunities, classes, and more!

Minors

Students are encouraged to start the music minor in the second semester of their freshman year or no later than the first semester of their second year. Each semester students must consult a Department of Music advisor in the selection of the courses, leading to an individualized minor in music.

Ensembles and Lessons

All performing ensembles at the College are open to all students, though some of our select ensembles require an audition. Ensembles hold auditions at the beginning of each semester.

Private Lessons

An audition is required for applied lessons, beginning at the intermediate level. Generally, lessons for beginners are not offered. Students should first contact the studio teacher of their primary instrument. Private studio lessons for non-majors carry a fee of $500 per semester at the 200-level and $1,000 per semester at the 300-level. Scholarships for non-major private studio lessons might be considered, depending on departmental need.
