3 credits: full hour lesson - for trombone/euphonium students pursuing the Master of Music Education degree with concentration in Applied Studies. This class may be repeated for credit. Such students may come with special backgrounds, or problems, or goals, or long layoffs. Therefore the emphasis and the literature will be geared to these circumstances.

No jury for 652; a recital approval performance and full hour recital is required. (SPH) requirement is waived during recital semester.

Generally, this level entails review and solidification of technique, pedagogy and extensive emphasis on literature in preparation of the degree recital.
