Let's talk numbers.

The degree plans / Guided Pathway have students in 1 MUEN (1 credit hour ensemble) and 1 MUAP (2 credit hour private lesson)
Around 15% or so of those enrolled in MUEN are not music majors and not enrolled in lessons and recital.

The 89 recital students are in an average of 3.9 credit hours of lessons when they should be in just 2 credit hours of lessons. If we assume 15% of ensemble enrollees are not in recital and we take that number out of the total ensemble enrollment, then the 89 recital students are in 2.8 ensembles each when they should be enrolled in a single ensemble. That translates into quite a few students in 3 or 4 ensembles and totally overwhelmed and careening toward loss of financial aid and out of state tuition when transferring. The music advisors must be removed and the music program fixed to conform to the degree plans of the real colleges so students can transfer successfully.
