do not count).
- Starting with the student’s first semester as a music major, ensemble enrollment
must be in consecutive semesters until requirement is complete.
- Music studies majors’ ensemble requirements are waived during the semester of student
teaching.

until either their requirement is met or until graduation, whichever comes first.
