I don’t really know but since it was a music history class, and you are a composition major, I wonder if you can take it over again-? Some conservatories test and/or interview applicants about music history, even at the undergrad level, at least for composers, so that area of knowledge is rightly seen as valuable. It isn’t so much the grade but what the grade might represent. How is your knowledge of music history? Did the grade reflect trouble with memorizing and identifying pieces with slightly nuanced differences, for instance? Would you be able to demonstrate knowledge when you apply? Overall, I would think it would be a good idea to look into retaking, but others may have other suggestions.
