A minor in music presents students with a liberal arts education that includes opportunities to engage in music theory, music history, and the culture of music. Students can choose from various performance opportunities through ensemble play and applied lessons (auditions may be required). Checksheet (PDF)

The minor in music track WITH applied instrument/voice lessons requires a successful audition before entrance.

Minor in Music Without Lessons

The minor in music track WITHOUT applied studio lessons on your instrument/voice does NOT require an audition. Students pursuing the "no applied studio" track should fill out the form below.

Once the form is submitted, our music minor coordinators, Dr. Leslie or Murray Oliver, will contact you with further information about the music minor "no lessons" track. The process for admittance to the minor includes an interview on your musical background and a short music theory diagnostic test used only for theory class placement.

Primary contacts include Drew.Leslie@colostate.edu in the Fall and Spring semesters and Murray.Oliver@colostate.edu during the summer months.
