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 April 8. Payments must be
made by made or postmarked by April 8 (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

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 partial fee waiver. Please contact the
director of your ensemble to request this.

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.
Music 2A, 6A, and 16A must be taken concurrently for a total of 7
units. This set of courses comprises first-year theory
requirements for music majors and begins once a year, in the
fall quarter.
