Prerequisites Audition is required for enrollment in Lower Division Applied Music. A successful Upper-Divisional Jury is required prior to enrollment in Upper Division Applied Music. Objectives To provide instruction in the musical, artistic, and technical aspects of musical performance. General Methodology--Weekly Lessons Weekly private lessons will be scheduled. In preparation for these lessons students will study exercises, scales, etudes, methods, solo literature, and orchestral excerpts. Daily individual practice sessions should be maintained in accordance with the Music Student Handbook. Five hours per week in individual practice time is expected for each semester credit. Special Requirements Students in Lower Division and Upper Division Applied Music courses are required to perform once each semester on a Friday morning student recital. Additionally, students are required to perform a Jury Exam (final graded performance) that will be weighted as 20% of the final course grade. First semester students may be exempted from the Jury Exam at the discretion of the professor. Textbooks and Other Required Materials Students are expected to purchase etude books and solo literature as appropriate. Specific assignments will be made by the professor throughout the semester. Course Outline Because Applied Music courses provide individual instruction, each student will follow an individual plan specifically designed for him/her. In general, students will be expected to prepare technical exercises, lyrical studies, and solo literature for each lesson. As students progress and gain technical proficiency greater emphasis will be placed on the preparation of solo literature and on public performance. Specific assignments will be given each week at the conclusion of the lesson. Students are then expected to prepare this literature for the following week’s lesson. Method of Evaluation Students will be evaluated on their preparation for each lesson, consistency of progress during the semester, amount and difficulty of literature prepared and performed, Friday morning recital performances, Jury Exam, and general attitude. Occasionally, outside master classes, studio classes, and workshops are required. These will be announced well in advance of the event. Recital Attendance Students enrolled in Applied Music 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. Attendance Policy Students are expected to prepare for and attend 14 private lessons during the semester. Students who must miss a lesson should contact the professor prior to that lesson and schedule an alternate time. Work schedules, fraternity/sorority functions, and similar reasons are generally not excusable. Academic Integrity Policy Students are expected to comply with the college Academic Integrity Policy. Standard 1, Indicator 3: Music teachers analyze and critically evaluate their own musical performances and those of others
