Student Recitals
Performance ability is an important component of all the degree programs within
the Department of Music. Thus, an elective solo recital may be an important component
of each student's preparation. No department-wide student recital requirement exists at
Casper College, but performance majors in particular are invited and encouraged to
perform a sophomore recital or a shared half-recital for the public. Policies governing the
student recital follow.
Recital Permission
Prior to the presentation of a recital, students must secure the permission from
their principal studio instructor. The instructor shall make his or her decision based upon
prior jury examinations, Convocation performances, and will weigh the student’s
opportunity for success. The decision to present a student in recital lies solely with the
studio instructor. The instructor will complete and sign the Music Department Event
Data Form.
Durham Recital Hall Use
Durham Hall is available for student recital use. When scheduling a recital, the
studio instructor (in conjunction with the Music Department Office staff) will check the
Department calendar in the Music Office and request an available date.
Durham Hall is not a practice room and should not be used except with the proper
permission. A sufficient amount of rehearsal time will be available in the Hall before the
recital and should be scheduled with the studio instructor and Academic Assistant.
If the concert grand piano is used, the instructor may request that it be tuned
before the event.
Programs
Official recital programs will be prepared and printed by the Music Office staff.
Program information should be initialed by the principal studio instructor and submitted
to the Music Office no later than two weeks before the scheduled date. Information must
include: student name, instrument, instructor, works to be performed, composers,
accompanists, collaborators, and other pertinent data. Program notes and translations are
the responsibility of the student and principal studio instructor. No personal statements
or comments are allowed on the program, as this is deemed inappropriate for an academic
recital. The program will be ready for review approximately one week prior to the recital
date. A maximum of 50 standard programs will be printed free of charge to the student.
If additional copies are requested, the student will be responsible for their expense.
