Yes, the non music classes are electives, but part of the degree. Everything I've taken is required to graduate, and same with next semester. However, I opted to take Trumpet and Clarinet at the same semester, so I don't have to take it later. Applied Cello is the only option class I listed.

What else did you do? We met twice a week and did assignments in sight singing, chord quality identification (major, minor, augmented, diminished), error detection, rhythm reading, rhythmic dictation, harmonic dictation, and melodic dictation.
