Curriculum

Required of all Academy of Music students:

  • Enroll in seven periods of class each semester.
  • Take at least one performing arts class each semester.
  • Maintain acceptable academic progress.
  • Take all Federal, State and District tests annually.

Majors

The student should work with their counselor to determine what major will be declared. Every major requires completion of specific courses totaling 40 credits. A different course may be substituted for a listed requirement if the Academy considers the substitute appropriate, such as when a piano or music theory requirement is waived because of demonstrated proficiency.
