The School of Music is a member of the National Association of Schools of Music, and the requirements for entrance and graduation set forth in this catalog are in accordance with the published regulations of the association. The following statement of basic musicianship is endorsed by the School of Music:
All musicians, whether performers, composers, scholars, or teachers, share common professional needs. Every musician must to some extent be a performer, a listener, a historian, a composer, a theorist, and a teacher. For this reason, certain subject matter areas and learning processes are common to all baccalaureate degrees in music.
Basic musicianship is developed in studies which prepare the student to function in a variety of musical roles which are supportive of his/her major concentration. All undergraduate curricula, therefore, provide the following:
All students registering in a School of Music major program enroll through the College of Fine Arts.
Audition/Admission Requirements. All students who enroll in an undergraduate music degree program are required to pass an entrance audition in their primary performing medium (instrument or voice) before being admitted to the School of Music. Audition forms and specific audition requirements for each instrument or voice may be obtained upon request by writing to the School of Music. Official dates for these auditions are set for each academic year. Students may request to audition on other dates if necessary or may send a tape recording if distance prohibits coming to the campus.
Admission to the composition concentration is subject to the approval of the composition faculty based upon an evaluation of the student’s compositions and/or interview.
Diagnostic Examinations. Entering students, including all transfer students, must also take a diagnostic examination in piano during orientation week of their first semester on campus, regardless of previous piano course work completed. These transfer students are required to reach a minimum level of achievement indicated on the Piano Placement Exam.
Continuation in the composition program is subject to review in the sophomore or junior year.
All Music Education majors, including transfer and postbaccalaureate students, must perform an additional audition before being admitted to the teacher education program. Normally, this audition occurs during the sophomore year.
All students majoring in Music Therapy must pass MUE 211 Music in Recreation and a music therapy faculty review and screening interview before being passed into upper-division study.
