MUSP 1410. Private Songwriting (1 credit)

Private study is offered in songwriting. The work is adapted to the needs of the individual student. Lessons will cover topics such as basic song forms, melody writing, lyric fundamentals, common chord progressions, and rhythm in songwriting. Courses in applied music are required of all music majors and may be elected with permission of the instructor by students not majoring in music. Credit for non-majors is limited to one semester hour. It is the Department of Music policy that non-majors enrolled in private lessons are expected to enroll in an appropriate ensemble. For more information on these matters, please consult the UNCP Department of Music Handbook.
