UCLA MUSC 66: Composition Studio

You are looking at Spring 2026. That term is over, so these are last term's numbers rather than seats you can take. dibs holds 21 sections for Spring 2026, read 27 days ago. Separately, it has finished 15 of the 3,592 courses on its current checking list for this term. Future-term coverage is incomplete, so a course with nothing here may simply not have been reached yet.

What comes first

The chain dibs can see is 1 course long before MUSC 66. Read from Fall 2026, because dibs has not read a class page for MUSC 66 in Spring 2026 and a department can change what it requires. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for MUSC 20B, MUSC 20C, MUSC 21B, and MUSC 21C, so the real chain can only be longer than this, never shorter.

Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.

From the registrar's catalog

Sections in Spring 2026
