Commercial Music Studies at TSU

Preparing for careers in Popular Music

The Commercial Music program at TSU is a concentration within the music degree. The degree in music requires Commercial Music students to study music theory, music history, private applied lessons on a primary instrument, present a senior recital, as well as participate in one of the Commercial Music ensembles. As a music degree all students are expected to know how to read music.

Instrumental Music

Instruction & Recitals

All music students at TSU study a primary instrument in applied lessons, and are required to develop basic piano skills as well. Performance majors in the Commercial Music area are required to study a second instrument, and many choose piano to meet their piano proficiency requirements (required of all music majors). Many of our music students choose to study another instrument as an elective as well. Elective applied studies are also open to non-majors.
