Music (MUS - 50.09)
A student must audition
prior to being permitted to enroll in a degree
program. Instruction in music performance courses
consists of one hour of private instruction per
week. A student should allot a minimum of six
hours of practice per week for practice of the
major instrument.
Students registered as
majors in performance courses are expected to
perform a minimum of one time each semester on a
student recital and are required to perform before
a faculty jury at the end of each semester. A solo
senior recital or capstone course is required for
the completion of a degree. All full-time students
who register in a performance course are required
to attend recitals, concerts, and other
productions sponsored by the division (MUS
100/300). Such attendance is essential for musical
growth; therefore, each student must consider
attendance expectations when preparing academic
and personal schedules.
All non-piano majors
must pass a proficiency examination in piano upon
completing MUS 269 or 270. A student who fails the
examination will be required to repeat MUS 270
until it is passed. Likewise a proficiency
examination in performance on the primary
instrument or voice is required at the end of the
sophomore year. If results indicate progress with
some deficiencies, the student will be required to
repeat 272 until the barrier examination is passed
regardless of the grade earned in MUS 272. If
results indicate that the future success of a
student is doubtful, the student will be advised
to transfer to another curriculum. Students
transferring from other universities must take
placement examinations in theory, piano, and on
the primary instrument or voice.
Students are required
to provide certain materials, equipment, and dress
needed for music study and performance. Students
must arrange their personal schedules to avoid
conflicts with ensemble commitments.
