- To prepare music majors for successful professional careers in music education, studio teaching, music industry, and performance;
- To provide music courses for all students that will acquaint them with fundamental music skills, various musical styles, historical periods and literature, the functions of music in the community, and to provide opportunities to participate in the live performance of music;
- To encourage students to be continually aware of music as an art form, and to seek opportunities for creative experiences and personal enrichment that are inherent in the study, performance, and production of music; and
- To contribute to the artistic and cultural life of the community by providing public concerts and recitals, and other forms of appropriate musical involvement of faculty and students.
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music.

Admission to Music Degree Programs
Degree-seeking music majors are expected to perform at increasingly higher levels of technical and artistic performance throughout the course of undergraduate study. Assessment of growth in performance is accomplished at the final examination for each semester of Principal Studio enrollment. This consists of a performance before a jury committee composed of music faculty members. Jury committees are charged with two tasks: first, they recommend an advisory jury grade to each student’s studio teacher, and second, they determine if students will pass to the next course in the studio sequence. In order to avoid a situation in which a student attempts the pursuit of a music degree for which there is little or no practical hope of success, the following procedures governing admission to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi music degree programs are closely followed.
All music majors share a common first-year music course enrollment, consisting of Musicianship I and II, Aural Training I and II, Class Piano I and II, First Year Principal Applied Studio I and II, and an appropriate major ensemble. The jury examination for First Year Principal Applied Studio II will serve as an application audition for the Bachelor of Music or Bachelor of Music with Teacher Certification. Jury committees will approve applications based upon the jury performance and recommendation of the student’s principal studio instructor. Because the Bachelor of Arts program is more broadly focused and not as dependent upon performance, students who are not accepted into the Bachelor of Music or Bachelor of Music with Teacher Certification programs may continue with the BA. Transfer students who have completed two or more semesters of principal studio at another institution should audition for admission to the BM or BMTC degrees at auditions held during the first week of classes each semester for that purpose. Students may attempt to qualify for the Bachelor of Music or the Bachelor of Music with Teacher Certification program only twice.
Ensemble Participation and Requirements
- Every full-time music major must enroll, participate and receive a passing grade in a major ensemble every semester except the student teaching semester.
- Major ensemble requirements must be satisfied in the following ways:
- A student in any instrumental music degree program whose major instrument is a woodwind, brass, or percussion instrument must register for MUEN 1122 Concert Band (1 sch)/MUEN 3122 Concert Band (1 sch), MUEN 1123 Symphonic Winds (1 sch)/MUEN 3123 Symphonic Winds (1 sch) and/or MUEN 1124 Concert Orchestra (1 sch)/MUEN 3124 Concert Orchestra (1 sch) or as assigned by the instrumental ensemble directors and the applied teacher, based on auditions as required.
- A student in any instrumental music degree program whose major instrument is an orchestral stringed instrument must register for MUEN 1124 Concert Orchestra (1 sch)/MUEN 3124 Concert Orchestra (1 sch) or
- A student in any vocal/choral/general music degree program must register for MUEN 1151 University Singers (1 sch)/MUEN 3151 University Singers (1 sch) or MUEN 1153 Chamber Choir (1 sch)/MUEN 3153 Chamber Choir (1 sch) as assigned by the choral ensemble director and the applied music teacher, based on auditions as required.
- Pianists or guitarists in instrumental music degree normally enroll in MUEN 1151 University Singers (1 sch)/MUEN 3151 University Singers (1 sch) to fulfill the ensemble requirement. If they play a wind band or orchestral instrument well enough, they may enroll in concert band or orchestra instead.
- Exceptions to these policies will be made only with the approval of the student’s applied teacher, the Department Chair and the appropriate ensemble director.
Policy on Course Substitutions
At times, it may be necessary for a student nearing graduation to substitute a secondary applied lesson for a techniques course when there are class scheduling conflicts. In such cases, the students may be allowed to enroll in an applied lesson with the instructor or instructors in that area in lieu of that specific methods course. Courses may include Woodwind Techniques I (MUSI 3166), Woodwind Techniques II (MUSI 3167), Brass Techniques I (MUSI 3168), Brass Techniques II (MUSI 3169), Voice Techniques (MUSI 3170), Percussion Techniques (MUSI 3188), and String Techniques (MUSI 3189). These substitutions are exceptions to be determined on a case-by-case basis by permission of the Music Department Chair.
Policy on Repeated Music Courses
Students majoring and/or minoring in music will have three opportunities to earn a “C” or better in all MUSI, MUAP, MUEN and MIND courses required on the student’s degree program/plan. Students who do not earn a “C” or better on the third attempt of a class will not be allowed to continue in courses restricted to music majors and minors, with the exception of non-major applied lessons and ensembles.
Program Description
Bachelor of Music in Performance
This degree is intended for students whose skills and interest in the performance of music are focused at the professional level. Those who elect this option must be aware that ultimate success in performance careers normally involves further study beyond the bachelor’s degree, as well as a growing accumulation of actual performance experience.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students will:
- gain knowledge of music theory, history, literature, and culture
- acquire skills necessary to perform, conduct, and/or compose music from various periods and genres
- acquire knowledge of performance literature appropriate to their medium
Specific Degree Requirements
All music majors must meet all general University and College graduation requirements, including First Year Seminars, regardless of the following specific degree requirements, unless specifically excused. All music degrees require MUSI 1307 Elements of Musical Style (3 sch), which also meets the Core Curriculum Program Fine Arts requirement. Understanding and Enjoying Music (MUSI 1306 Understanding and Enjoying Music (3 sch)) cannot count towards any degree requirement of the Bachelor of Arts in Music. No music coursework with a grade lower than “C” will be counted toward the completion of the Bachelor of Arts in Music, the Bachelor of Music with Teacher Certification, or the Bachelor of Music in Performance, with the following exception. In order to progress to the next level of applied principal lessons (MUAP courses), a student must earn at least an “A” or “B” in his/her lessons and also be recommended to advance by the jury committee. A student who does not advance to the next level of lessons, as recommended by the jury committee, can earn no higher than a “C” in applied music. Students who do not advance in lessons due to their ineligibility to take the Basic Music Skills Assessment due to other factors (i.e. theory sequence issues) are not held to this grading policy.

This course is recommended for non-music majors and music minors. Rap and Hip Hop Music and Culture traces the ideological, social, historical, and cultural influences of a musical genre that first came to prominence in the mid-1970s in one of New York's toughest neighborhoods, the South Bronx. This course describes how the arts of DJing, MCing, breakin' [b-boying], and graffiti developed as a way for this community's struggle to find its own voice. Addressed will be rap's early successes on the pop charts; its spread to mainstream culture; the growth of "gangsta rap" and mainstream society's reaction to it; and the commercial success of rap music from the '90s through today. Throughout, this course will highlight key performers, producers, and voices in the rap and hip hop movements, using their stories to illuminate the underlying issues of racism, poverty, prejudice, and artistic freedom that are part of rap and hip hop's ongoing legacy.
The object of this course is to develop skills in analyzing the soundtrack, music's role in the soundtrack, and the relation of soundtrack and image track (especially relating to music) on small-scale and large-scale (narrative) levels. The course develops critical listening and viewing skills, but it also offers a particular kind of film-music history survey, one that focuses on the three nodal points in the history of film sound: the introduction of sound, the introduction of stereo, and the introduction of digital sound. We will explore the thesis that each of these technological advances alters the structural relationships among the three relatively autonomous components of the soundtrack—dialogue, music and effects.
The course introduces the student to ethnomusicology and the cross-cultural study of music and society. It emphasizes the role of music in human life, and explores music and performance from around the world. The student will learn about classical, folk and popular styles found on all seven continents. This course is appropriate for any student of any musical background.

This course is designed to assist the student in developing an increased proficiency in the art of Mariachi Performance. In accomplishing this goal, this course will allow each student to develop: 1.) performance skills on the instruments of the mariachi (including violin, trumpet, guitar, guitarron, vihuela, and harp), and 2.) knowledge of the repertoire and history of mariachi literature. Performance of an instrument in the mariachi also requires singing when the repertoire calls for it. The objective is to study the literature of Mexican Folk music; to engage in the technical study of mastering performance on the instruments of the mariachi; to represent TAMUCC in the immediate and global community through musical excellence.
