1. Major Academic Plan (MAP) Why study Music? We believe the study and enjoyment of music inspires students to be informed, responsible, and appreciative members of a democratic society. Music majors work closely with faculty, who combine dedicated teaching with artistic and scholarly excellence. Instructors and students hold concerts and recitals throughout the year. Scholarship Opportunities The Music Department has scholarships available to incoming freshman as well as continuing students. For details on audition dates, call 509.359.2241 or visit www.ewu.edu/music. Practice Rooms and Performance Facilities Music students enjoy modern facilities featuring a state of the art piano laboratory with 16 units, 32 practice rooms, electronic music laboratory, three technically-enhanced classrooms, and an extensive collection of recordings, scores, and music reference materials located in the JFK Library. In addition, the department houses music classrooms, two large rehearsal rooms (vocal and instrumental), and a 250-seat capacity recital hall. The renovated Showalter Hall serves as an additional performance venue. Minimum Grade Standards The minimum acceptable grade for any music course required for graduation is 2.8.
