What is Merit or Honors Private Study?
BodyText1
Both Honors and Merit
Private Study Programs consist of weekly private lessons on a student’s primary
instrument, plus concurrent enrollment in an approved school ensemble.
These
private lessons and ensemble participation can count as elective credits
toward a student’s degree program. Merit and Honors students must attend Ensemble Auditions for placement in a school ensemble.
The
opportunity to take private lessons for academic credit is not open to
beginners, but is intended for those who wish to continue previous
study.
