(Audition Required)
Any student wishing to declare a minor in music must audition on an instrument and be approved by the Frost School of Music as a minor. The approval form is available here or in the Office of Undergraduate Studies.
A $350 fee per semester is assessed for private instrument and/or vocal instruction and must be paid prior to enrolling. Please note that private lessons may not be available on all instruments. Studio space varies from year to year.
A music minor requires 15 credit hours, 12 of which must be earned at the University of Miami.
