Music Minor

The music minor is ideal for the student who has been involved in music prior to attending ECU who wants to advance their musical knowledge and abilities and continue performing without pursuing a major and career in music. Music minors study privately with an applied professor for their area (specific instrument or voice). Successful completion of music minor courses equip the student with a foundational knowledge of music theory, musical styles, genres and eras, and ensemble performance experience.
