Piano Proficiency Requirement: All Music majors, regardless of degree or program, must pass the Piano Proficiency requirement by the end of the sophomore year. If this requirement is not passed, the student must take applied piano (Music 761 or
htmlref762MUS762) until the requirement has been passed. The requirement consists of six components: performance of three prepared works; scales; arpeggios; sight reading; melody harmonization; and harmonic progressions. A student may pass the requirement in segments. As part of the Requirement, Music Education majors must demonstrate their ability to perform an accompaniment with a singer or instrumentalist.
Ensemble Participation: Participation in music ensembles (MUS 711-719) is required of all Music majors, regardless of degree or program. Requirements vary, depending on the degree program and are detailed in the preceding curricula information. Regulations governing adding and dropping ensembles are the same as for Music Lessons, with the exception of MUS 718 (Opera Workshop).
Music Performance Seminar: The Music Performance Seminar (MUS 701) is a semester-long program that consists entirely of attendance at music events. The purpose of this Seminar is to help nurture an understanding of diverse musical styles and musical ensembles and to provide opportunities for student performances. Attendance at recitals and concerts is required of all Music majors as well as of all students who are not majors but who are enrolled in music lessons. A student who has not declared a Music major, but who is considering doing so, is strongly encouraged to participate. Music majors are required to attend approximately ten scheduled music events per semester, depending upon the total number of music events scheduled during the semester. Three of the required events must be Music Performance Seminar Student Recitals, which occur on Thursday afternoons at 3:10. Music majors must receive a passing grade in Music Performance Seminar each semester in order to complete the major. Students who are not Music majors but are enrolled in music lessons for credit are required to attend two of the Thursday afternoon Student Recitals and two other musical events each semester. Failure to meet this attendance requirement will result in the student's receiving an F for Music Performance Seminar. No course credit is given for this Seminar. It is offered on a Pass/Fail basis.
