MUSIC DEPARTMENT POLICIES: Applied lessons and practice expectations: Each music major/minor is to be registered for and  participate in applied study on at least one instrument or voice every semester until completion of the senior recital. Lessons are intended to propel prop el the student toward professional level

 performance skills. Following at least four semesters semesters at the 12xx level, a student may audition for  placement in upper level study (32xx) which is to be considered preparation for a senior or a  junior and a senior recital. Registration for upper level lessons is to be done for a minimum of three semesters, four for performance majors. Please note that all students in applied lessons (with the exception of guitar and percussion) must register for Music 1111 or 4112 with the appropriate  piano faculty member every semester except that of their senior recital, which has its own number. Ensemble participation: Each student must register for and participate in the appropriate major ensemble (University Choir, University Concert Band, University Guitar Ensemble, or University Chamber Orchestra) each semester. Once the minimum required number of semesters has been met for the student’s degree plan, plan , students should continue to register under Audit. Upper or lower level registration is to align with applied lessons, depending on the result of the upper level audition. Juries: Each semester, every applied student on each instrument/voice will present a  performance jury to a committee of faculty within the specific area, woodwinds, piano, voice, guitar, etc. Only students who have presented a junior or senior recital that semester will be exempt. Juries may include performance, with or without piano, sightreading, scales, etc. deemed appropriate by the examining committee and particularly by the applied instructor. In some cases, certain components compon ents of the jury may take place a few days earlier, leaving only a selected portion for the jury.   Performing with Collaborative Pianists: Students are to register for the appropriate ap propriate section of Music 1111, 4112, or 3186/4186 in order to rehearse with a UTPA faculty pianist. Piano faculty assign grades for these courses in part on the basis of attendance at scheduled rehearsals, seminars, and juries. Students who are performing a degree d egree recital should register for either MUS 3186 (Junior Recital) or MUS 4186 (Senior Recital).  Recital Lab Performance: Subject to the approval of their applied instructor, each student is to perform at least once per semester in Music Lab (applied instructors may submit, at their discretion, seminar, studio class, or recital performances to satisfy this requirement). This is to be a full and complete performance, with all parts present, (i.e. if it is written with piano, it must be performed with piano). Your applied professor will submit the Music Lab form to the Music Lab coordinator ahead of time.

Junior/Senior Recital Requirements: Prerequisites: Students must pass Theory IV, complete Piano P iano block III (Music 1114), and have passed an upper level audition before they can be approved for a Junior

or Senior Recital.  Procedure: Students must pass a hearing in order to give a public p performance erformance of a degree recital. The hearing, which should be scheduled 1-2 weeks before the scheduled performance date, is to be evaluated by a Co Committee mmittee of at least three members – one of whom is the applied teacher. Appropriate forms for the hearing are generated and distributed to the committee members by the music office.  Repertoire Requirements: Appropriate recital repertoire and memorization requirements are determined by each area and by the applied teacher. Check with your applied teacher for your area’s expectations. exp ectations.  Time Requirements BM in Music Education Senior Recital (MUS 4186) BM in Applied Music Junior Recital (MUS 3186) Senior Recital (MUS 4186)

30 minutes

25-30 minutes 45-50 minutes

Receptions following Junior or Senior recitals are entirely optional and will be be handled entirely, including preparation and clean-up, by the student and designated helpers, usually family. Room 126 is an excellent venue for a reception.

Concert etiquette and attire:    Dress well. If you are performing, dress very well. Wear the standard uniform for your ensemble, or if not specified: dark slacks, dress shoes sho es with dark socks, coat and tie for gentlemen; modest  attire  attire for ladies including knee-length (or longer) skirts and tops top s with sleeves, not exposing midriff or bosom. Clothing should be clean, not worn out, and not distracting to the audience.    No talking while someone is performing. If someone else is noisy and disruptive, that does not give you permission p ermission to be disruptive as well.   Cell phones and other electronics should be silenced and put away. Texting, surfing, or other electronics use during concerts is rude and inappropriate.     Determine before the recital whether photography and video recording is allowed, ●

●

●

●

if you wish to use these devices. In performances for which photography is permitted, silence any sounds on your device and disable any flash function.

  Performers should acknowledge applause. During

●

your dress-rehearsal, practice onstage procedures such as bowing. When you first come onstage, move quickly into  position and bow before the introductory applause stops. Then, place your music on the stand and proceed. At the end, take your solo bow or bow in sync with your collaborators or ensemble members. Don’t nod or ignore the applause; LOOK  professional. After the concert, when you’re being complimented by the audience, accept their accolades graciously. Don’t say how much better it went in practice. When in doubt, “Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it,” is usually a good response.  

Scheduling performances: Performances may not be scheduled until ALL participating persons have approved the date and time. This is true for anything from a two-minute w work ork in Music Lab to a full senior recital. It is sometimes challenging to align multiple schedules for a performance date, so plan ahead; once scheduled, events are difficult difficult and awkward to reschedule. If audience members show up for a canceled event, it reflects badly upon our music department.

Printed program approval and procedures:  Concert programs of all types should be approved by your applied instructor well before the  performance date. You may also check with other trusted faculty mentors to be very sure of spelling, composer dates, etc. Once the program has been approved, it may be submitted to the music office for printing.

Music Societies and Organizations Participation in professional organizations and music societies such as TMEA, Kappa Kappa Psi, and other instrument-specific groups is strongly encouraged. Ask your ensemble directors and applied teachers for more information on what groups might enhance your college and future professional experience.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT FACILITIES: Electronic Music Studio: The music department is constantly co nstantly in the process of expanding the

technology offered to music majors. Room 127D is equipped with computers and Yamaha Clavinova keyboards. Most of the machines are equipped with Finale notation software and some of the machines are loaded with audio editing software. The studio is also the perfect place for music majors to practice p ractice their ear training and class piano assignments. This room is not a student “lounge” or locker room. Please do not n ot leave  belongings in 127D. ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD OR DRINKS are allowed in the studio.  After-Hours and Weekend Pass: Students who wish to have access to practice rooms after hours and on weekends may request a pass in the department office. Please do not bring food or drinks into the practice rooms or leave the rooms in a disheveled state.   Rehearsal Space: Please treat all rehearsal and performing spaces with respect and care. The Recital Hall and the Fine Arts Auditorium are part of the public face of this department and this university. Refrain from bringing food or drink d rink into these and other common rehearsal spaces, and be courteous cou rteous to those who will be using the rooms after you by storing any equipment that you use and restoring the space to its original co condition. ndition.

Do not leave your equipment in a practice room to “reserve it.” The university is not responsible if your instrument or other personal property is stolen or removed if left unattended. Use of University Equipment: Some instruments and other university properties may be signed out to students for a limited period of time (typically a month or a semester) to enable them to fulfill course requirements. It is an expectation that students who sign out instruments from the department will treat them with care and will take them to the shop for minor repairs as needed. It is also assumed that tha t these students will eventually  purchase their own instruments.  Pianos: Pianos are expensive, sensitive, and extremely important to the educational and  performing life of the department. NEVER put ANY form of food or drink (including water) on ANY piano in the department, and make it a priority to keep the instruments clean and in good repair. Further, please keep the doors to the Recital Hall and the Fine Arts Auditorium closed at all times, as humidity and temperature change chan ge can dramatically affect tuning.
