MUSIC PERFORMANCE MP Applied Music (private lessons) (1-2) Lessons in voice, piano, guitar, violin, and some other instruments are offered on campus. Organ lessons are taught by a member of the Corban faculty at a church building off campus. Other types of lessons may be taken off campus from a teacher selected and approved by the faculty.
