of the student’s concentration. The level 130 jury usually lasts five minutes; the level
131 juries and above usually last ten minutes, depending on whether or not the jury
is serving also as a hearing. Applied music juries are not required for APP MUSC 334
(junior recital) and APP MUSC 432 or 434 (senior recital).
APPLIED MUSIC PROCEDURES
1. The repertoire studied is chosen mostly from the standard literature of the
particular instrument or voice. All relevant periods, styles, and major
composers should be represented both in applied study and in the junior
and senior recitals.
2. Technical studies relevant to the needs of the student are included in each
semester of study.
3. The Applied Music Instructor Form and Applied Music Juror Form
contain all information concerning the technical studies, repertoire,
and progress of the student for each semester of study. The forms
are mailed each semester to the student and to the instructor, and copies are
placed in the student’s file.
4. Beginning with level 132/134, every student must perform on at least one
recital per semester.
5. Each student is responsible for providing a qualified accompanist for
lessons and student recitals. The applied instructor has the right and the
responsibility to direct the student to a collaborative artist who is qualified
to perform the student’s repertoire.
6. All keyboard and voice juries and recitals must be performed from
memory except in cases where the instructor deems that memorization
is inappropriate.
7. All recital forms and information must be completed and submitted to the
department secretary by the date or dates listed on each form.
8. At the completion of the level 232/234 jury, the student’s instructor,
advisor, and jury committee assist in determining the degree and the area
of concentration the student should pursue.
9. A recital preparedness hearing is performed for a jury approximately four
weeks prior to a degree recital. The jury determines whether or not a
portion or all of the program should go forward, be amended, be deferred,
or be rejected.
