All UC Davis students are welcome to take intermediate to
advanced music lessons through the Department of Music.
How to Enroll
To enroll in lessons, first contact the music lecturer that corresponds to your
area of study. Each instructor will have a conversation with you
about your previous experience and may or may not choose to ask
you for audition material.
Lesson fees are $300 per quarter for the equivalent of ten
half-hour lessons and are due by the 10th day of instruction or
before your second lesson, whichever comes first. Payments
must be made in person at the music office, paid in cash or check
only (see “How to Pay” below for further details).
Non-majors may take lessons throughout their studies at UC
Davis. However, they may only take one set of lessons in a given
quarter.
Lesson scholarships are available to music majors only (see
“Lesson Scholarships for Music Majors” below on how to apply for
a scholarship).
Non-majors who participate in orchestra, chorus, or band may
be eligible for a rebate on lessons. Please contact the
director of your ensemble to request this and fill out
the “Lesson Scholarships for Music Majors” form.
Lesson Scholarships for Music Majors
Lesson scholarships are only available to music majors,
who may apply for a scholarship each quarter. This
scholarship provides rebates of the full $300 paid back to the
student’s account before the end of the quarter. Unfortunately
the lesson fee must be paid before the rebate is credited back to
the student account.
Request a scholarship via this
webform by the 5th day of instruction of the quarter
(further instructions are found on the form).
Requirements
By “Active/Declared” music major, we mean declared
majors who have enrolled in or have completed the core music
major courses.
Students who request support are expected to enroll in the
corresponding course number.
We regret that we are not able to provide
scholarships for non-majors.
