of the instructor is required for registration for the one hundred level
courses. Prerequisite for
the three hundred level course is satisfactory completion of the
sophomore “upper divisional” jury. Objective:
To learn and refine skills necessary in mastering the art of
playing the organ; to learn, through hearing as well as playing,
repertoire for the instrument; and to become knowledgeable about the
history of the organ and stylistic interpretations.
Teaching
Methodology:
Private lessons (one-half hour per week for each credit hour);
organ class on the assigned dates for all students to perform and listen
to others; field trips as listed, and listening assignments. Knowledge
of the instrument and its repertoire should develop through appropriate
reading. Special
Requirements:
Performance in at least one student recital each semester is
required (exception: first
semester freshmen, non-traditional students, and non-majors may be
excused at the discretion of the instructor).
A jury at the end of the semester is equivalent in other courses
to a final exam and will be required of all degree-seeking students with
a C average or better, with the possible exception of those performing
on Honor’s Recital, and of others at the discretion of the instructor.
Attendance is strongly urged at all peer recitals, guest
recitals, and as many other area organ recitals as is possible. Membership
in and attendance at events sponsored by the Materials
needed:
Each student must purchase approved organ shoes.
Music and method books will be determined on an individual basis,
and each student will be required to purchase these materials.
Some materials are available through the library and the Kinard
collection for check-out and use. Course
Outline: Lessons
will be scheduled on a TBD basis. Organ
class will be scheduled on selected Thursdays at 3:30 p..m. Method
of Evaluation: Attendance
at lessons is a major factor in your grade.
They can be rescheduled in cases of illness or emergency, but
make every effort to attend each lesson.
A minimum of five hours of practice per credit hour is required.
Based on this, your grade will reflect your regular and continued
progress. Recital
performance will be a factor in your grade.
20% of the final grade will be determined by your jury
performance. Another
determining factor in your grade is recital attendance.
Failure to attend recitals (as stated in the Music Department
Handbook), will result in the lowering of your applied grade by one
letter.
Jury = 20% Recital
preparation = 25%
Satisfactory progress (consistent practice time, lesson
attendance) = 55% Recital
Attendance Students enrolled in Applied Organ are
required to attend designated events as specified in the Music Student
Handbook. Failure to meet the Recital Attendance requirement will result
in a lowering of the semester course grade by one letter. Academic
Integrity Policy: As
stated in The Cub, cheating is
not acceptable at L-R, and this includes honesty about the number of
hours practiced when asked to report by your instructor or on your jury
form. Articulation
with L-R teacher education conceptual framework Along with the experiences provided in
other music courses, applied music courses equip students with the
skills to quickly assess technical and musical aspects of choral and
instrumental student performances that require improvement, to offer
guidance to their students with specific strategies for improvement
based upon that assessment, to combine all technical and musical aspects
of rehearsal and performance, and to evaluate the final outcome of their
performance efforts. Specifically, applied music courses provide
students with personal musical and technical skills in their chosen
medium and provide them with personal performance experiences.
Teacher
Licensure Indicators Addressed Standard 1 - Indicator 3: Music teachers
analyze and critically evaluate their own musical performances and those
of others. Diversity
Standards Standard 4: Teachers acknowledge and understand that diversity exist in society and utilize this diversity to strengthen the classroom environment to meet the needs of individual learners. This standard is addressed in applied music courses through the wide variety of musical styles to which students are introduced. |
