Center for Music Majors

Keep checking back over the summer as we add content.

Music Majors beginning of year checklist!

Students playing musical instruments

1. Advising Every Music Major is assigned a Faculty Advisor. You will begin to interact with your advisor at orientation in August. Until then please contact the MTD Dean's Office.

2. View Audition Excerpts and Schedule Ensemble Audition : All Music majors will need to audition for an ensemble placement. These auditions will occur once you are on campus. 

3. Sign out a locker: Students in music spend a lot of time in the Whalen Center for Music, and so we encourage you to sign out a locker where you can store your instrument, materials, and belongings safely. 

4. Visit IC Bookstore: Once you are registered for classes, you can select and purchase required textbooks online. 

5. Visit Hickey's Music Center : This local Music store has been a partner with the Center for Music many years. Students may order music and materials and have them delivered directly to the Whalen Center for Music.
