<p>Can U of R students take courses at Eastman?</p>
<p>Under piano, I found two courses available for U of R students <a href=“Courses for River Campus Students – Class Piano - Eastman School of Music”>http://www.esm.rochester.edu/classpiano/courses-for-river-campus</a> Take a look under the dept at Eastmant that you are interested in and see if you can find something similar. If you can’t find the infomation, call!</p>
<p>Re; lessons and ensembles, see this link <a href=“http://www.rochester.edu/College/MUR/faq.html”>http://www.rochester.edu/College/MUR/faq.html</a> </p>
<p>Can a River Campus student take lessons at Eastman?
Yes. Any student who performs at an intermediate level, reads music fluently, and qualifies by audition may study privately at the Eastman School. To access more information on the Eastman School lesson program for River Campus students, click here.</p>
<p>Can I play (or sing) in Eastman ensembles?
Possibly. Eastman’s four jazz ensembles are open by audition to Eastman and River Campus students alike. If vacancies remain in the larger ensembles after Eastman students have been placed, qualified River Campus students may audition.</p>
<p>Thank you Milkweed. Another question: can U of R students take composition classes at Eastman?</p>
<p>Milkweed- how about opportunities on the River campus for people who enjoy performing but aren’t at the Eastman campus level? </p>
<p>Not milkweed,but….</p>
<p>River campus has its own ensembles and musical performance groups that are open to UR students only.</p>
<p>Here’s the list:</p>

<p>UR also offers a music major, music minor, and music clusters</p>
<p><a href=“Arthur Satz Department of Music : University of Rochester”>http://www.rochester.edu/College/MUR/</a></p>
<p>There are practice rooms on River campus.</p>
<p>WOWMom…we looked at the music program & there aren’t any composition courses.</p>
<p>I know there aren’t. I was answering @stemmmm’s question.</p>
<p>@Wedgedrive I’d contact the registrar’s office at Eastman and ask.</p>
<p><a href=“Contact Us – Eastman School of Music”>http://www.esm.rochester.edu/registrar/contact/</a></p>
<p>UR’s music majors & minors can take a limited number of Eastman courses (including music composition) in fulfillment of their degree requirements.</p>
<p><a href=“Major Requirements : Undergraduate Program : Arthur Satz Department of Music : University of Rochester”>http://www.rochester.edu/college/MUR/major-minor/requirements.html</a></p>
<p>But I’m not sure if non-music majors/minors are permitted to do so.</p>
<p>I think you should email the head of the Composition Department and ask him if that’s possible. Also ask about prerequisites like music theory. You should know that it can take a while to get from the River Campus to Eastman by bus, even though it isn’t that far away. So, you would need to plan travel time into your day. There might also be an opportunity to take private composition lessons with an Eastman grad student. </p>
<p>Agree about the travel time between campuses.</p>
<p>D2 said that the inter-campus shuttle can take as long 35-40 minutes each way. </p>

<p><a href=“Composition – Eastman School of Music”>http://www.esm.rochester.edu/composition/</a></p>
<p>The composition dept. offer one class for non-composition music majors from UR and Eastman.</p>
<p>Thanks WOWMom & VMT.</p>
<p>If you are in a River Campus ensemble, you may take private lessons at the Eastman school for free. You are taught by a graduate student at Eastman.</p>
<p>D did an anthropology cluster and took one of the courses at Eastman, on world music. Loved it–I believe she planned her private lesson on the same day as the anthro class.</p>
<p>You can also address the Music Dept on the River Campus with your questions. Sometimes the private lessons are given on the River Campus instead of going to Eastman. That really depends on the student and the instructor and their schedule and it isn’t anything you can plan for and/or request as sometimes your instructor will change depending on their own responsibilities. For example my d was a vocalist and her following her freshman year, her instructor, a DMA (Ph.d equivalent) student had increased responsibilities and could only continue with lessons for his rising seniors as they had been with him the longest. She was then with her next instructor for three years, although it was a challenge when she returned from semester abroad. Again you must audition for lessons and not everyone who auditions is placed or accepted, then you must pass a jury every semester in order to continue. Credit is given for lessons and initially as freshman you are assigned what is known as “secondary’” lessons. Depending on your jury, you can either advance to “primary” lessons or remain secondary. The distinction involves the length of the actual lesson and perhaps the # of credits given.</p>
<p>D did have to audition, but only had to demonstrate that she was an intermediate player. If you played all through HS, you’re probably OK.</p>
