MUSIC
Throughout
history the study of music has been held to be one of the noblest pursuits
of humanity. Music integrates and develops an understanding of our
intellect, our emotions, and our senses. As such, it is both a personal
and universal art.
All
baccalaureate degrees in music emphasize the development of skills,
concepts, and sensitivity essential to the professional life of the
musician. Whether a professional performer, teacher, or composer, the
musician must function as one who exhibits not only technical competence
but also a broad knowledge of music and music literature, sensitivity in
musical style, and an insight into the role and effect of music in
society. Courses for the general university student provide an environment
which promotes a broad intellectual and cultural appreciation of music.

GENERAL
REQUIREMENTS — MUSIC MAJORS AND MINORS
ACADEMIC
PREPARATION
Students
planning to major in music should have experience playing an instrument in
their high school band or orchestra, singing in a high school choral
ensemble, or should have studied an instrument (e.g., piano) privately for
a significant period of time. It is expected that prospective music majors
be able to read music and sight-sing in at least one clef. Although not
mandatory, private study in voice or an instrument will be very beneficial
in preparation for college study in music; it offers significant
advantages in terms of enhancing individual performance technique and
provides exposure to standard music literature. Ability to play piano—even
at a rudimentary level—and read both treble and bass clefs is a
desirable attribute for any music major. In addition, it is helpful for
students to have taken high school theory and/or music appreciation
courses. Advanced keyboard ability is especially desirable for applicants
to the composition and theory degree programs.
ADMISSION
Applicants
must be admitted to the University before completing audition
requirements.
All applicants
for admission to degree programs in music and music therapy must
satisfactorily complete an audition in a performance area, take a
placement examination in piano, and take an aural skills exam. Applicants
to the BME degree must audition in a wind, string, or percussion
instrument, or voice. Minimum repertoire standards for all performance
areas are available from the department. Applicants must contact the
department to secure audition information.
Scholarships
are available to a limited number of applicants who demonstrate superior
musical ability. An application for the audition and placement constitutes
an application for a department scholarship, and no separate form is
required. Applicants recommended for scholarship assistance will be
notified after the audition.
The Department
of Music and Theatre Arts adheres to the code of ethics of the National
Association of Schools of Music. The acceptance of financial aid by an
applicant is considered a declaration of intent to attend the institution;
after May 1, the applicant may not consider any other offer from an NASM
member institution without the written consent of the first institution.
Similarly, a transfer applicant from a senior college or university cannot
be considered for a scholarship without the recommendation of the
institution from which the transfer is being made.
GRADUATION
REQUIREMENTS
Keyboard
Placements. All
entering freshmen and transfer students take a piano placement examination
which determines the level of class piano (Musi 106 or 108) in which they
will be enrolled to prepare for the piano proficiency examination. If the
placement test indicates a sufficiently high level of ability, the student
may be directed to applied piano (Musi 151). A keyboard placement
resulting in a higher-numbered keyboard course, i.e., Musi 108 or 151,
does not constitute credit by examination for a lower-numbered course.
Credit by examination is not available for Musi 104, 106, 108, 278, or
378.
The Piano
Proficiency Examination must be passed (1) one year prior to admission to
the professional semester for students working toward teaching licensure (BME
programs) and/or (2) prior to graduation in any music major/minor program.
It is offered only during the Fall and Spring Semester final examination
periods. The Piano Proficiency Examination tests performance in major and
minor scales, arpeggi, sightreading, harmonization, transposition, and
memorization.
Performance
Class and Recitals.
All music majors are required to attend and/or participate in performance
class and to attend ten approved concerts and recitals for each of seven
semesters. For minors, the requirement is three semesters.
Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory
Policy. No music
course may be taken under the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory option.
Audit Policy.
Applied lessons may not be taken for audit.
Special
Student Status.
High school students may enroll with permission of the instructor for
courses in the Department of Music and Theatre Arts during the Special
Student Registration. Because of demand for some courses and limitations
on enrollment, degree students will be given priority. Credits earned as
high school special students will be reviewed for acceptance into degree
programs after official admission to the university and department. Credit
review procedure is the same as that for transfer students. Enrollment in
graduate music courses under the special student admission status is not
allowed except in workshops or by consent of the instructor.
NOTE: A
student may not register for credit in a course which is a prerequisite
for any other course in which the student has credit.

THEATRE ARTS
AND DANCE
The arts of
theatre—acting, directing, playwriting, design, literature, and
costuming—enable us to explore the experiences of humans and the
universe. Theatre Arts studies human ideas, values, relationships,
obsessions, and accomplishments. Practical experimentation and practice of
the arts of the theatre increases our ability to present human experiences
to audiences for both entertainment and enlightenment.
Theatre Arts
programs offer students training in various aspects of theatre including
technical theatre, acting, directing, dance, dramatic literature,
