Admission

In addition to meeting University admission criteria, entering undergraduate students intending to major in music must audition prior to matriculation. These auditions serve the purpose of determining the prospective student's previous experience and potential for success in the intended major. (Entering students intending to major in composition must submit a portfolio of original compositions and pass a performance audition.) Both the Division of Music and the University must accept the candidate in order for him or her to be classified as a music major. Information regarding auditions may be obtained by writing to the Assistant Director for Admissions and Scholarships of the Division of Music. The Division of Music considers transfer credits and AP test results in decisions regarding advanced placement. Departments reserve the right to give additional tests to determine the most appropriate placement in any course sequence.

Act of Enrollment

When a student enrolls with Meadows School of the Arts Division of Music for participation in a music course whether as a music major, music minor, or through elective study by the act of enrollment and in consideration of the right to participate in such course, the student (1) acknowledges his or her willingness to accept and comply with the standards and policies set forth in the Division of Music Handbook, the Division of Music Graduate Handbook, and all other University rules and regulations; (2) assigns to the University the exclusive right to use the proceeds from any curricular or extracurricular promotional, publicity, or entertainment activities associated with the course, including but not limited to photographs, television, recordings, motion pictures, concerts, and theatrical productions, and any right the student may have to receive any royalties and/or other sums that may be due to the student from such activities; (3) releases the University, its trustees, officers, agents, employees, and assigns from any obligation to pay any proceeds, royalties, and/or other sums that may be due to the student in connection with the course; and (4) agrees, on request of the University, to periodically execute all documents necessary to acknowledge the assignment and release set forth herein.

Specific Music Requirements

During the second year of study, each pre-music major or transfer student must apply for degree/major status. The Division of Music chair reviews applications.

All full-time music majors are required to enroll for Recital Attendance (MUAS 1010) each term for which they will receive a grade of Pass or Fail. Minors are required to enroll for four terms. To complete the requirements of the course and receive a passing grade, majors must attend a minimum of 15 (minors 10) recitals each term, in addition to those in which the student is participating for credit. A grade of Incomplete may be awarded by the chair in case of illness or other reason based on student petition.

All second-year students shall present one solo performance in general recital each term.

Orchestral instrument majors, with the exception of guitar, are required to enroll in at least one large ensemble (i.e., wind ensemble or orchestra) each term of residence. Music majors fulfilling their ensemble requirement in a choral group are assigned by a placement hearing.

Each performance major is required to perform in recital at least one piece representing each major style period in which solo music was composed for the student's instrument (including voice). This is meant to encourage performance of contemporary works, including music written during the student's lifetime.

The Division of Music requires attendance at all scheduled class meetings, lessons, and ensemble rehearsals. The instructor determines in all instances the extent to which absences affect each student's grade. Students should become thoroughly acquainted with the class attendance policy established by their teachers and ensemble directors. Instructors are in no way obligated to make special arrangements for the student to accommodate any level of absence. All reasons for absence should be submitted in advance to the instructor. Failure to do so may result in a student's being dropped from a course with a grade of WP (before the calendar deadline to drop) or receiving a grade of F for the course.

All undergraduate music majors must receive a minimum grade of C- in all courses specified in the major. The major consists of all courses listed in the student's degree plan with the exception of GEC, free electives, and course work in a minor or second major. Students must retake major courses in which a grade below C- is received. A course may be repeated only once.

When the total number of hours required to satisfy the General Education requirements and the major requirements along with the major's supporting course requirements exceeds 122 term hours, students in such majors will be exempt from three (3) hours of Perspectives and an additional three (3) hours taken from either Perspectives or Cultural Formations.
