Studio Curriculum Guide General Information
Private instruction is intended to help develop technical and musical skills on an individual's primary or secondary instrument. Obtaining these qualities makes it possible for the student to perform significant solo literature and participate in quality musical ensembles. as a result of these activities, the student will gain insights otherwise unattainable. It is only through performances of quality literature with competent musicians that one can develop the degree of musicianship required for a successful and satisfying career. Developing competence as a performer is a student's only way of obtaining these invaluable musical experiences. To achieve this, music majors are expected to practice a minimum of two hours per day on their assigned repertoire.
All music majors and minors are required to perform a jury at the end of each semester of study. This performance is evaluated by a committee of instrumental faculty members. The jury grade is 25% of the final grade for the semester.
It is the student's responsibility to sign up for a jury time according to the instructions posted at the end of each semester, and perform the jury as scheduled. The remainder of the semester grade (75%) is determined by the studio teacher (according to the various requirements and performance expectations, outlined in this syllabus) based on the individual's progress and competencies demonstrated in weekly lessons. Emphasis is on improvement, but college level performance standards are expected. See repertoire and proficiency requirements for each level of study on the following pages.
Attendance
Attendance at all scheduled lessons is required of all majors and minors. Attendance at all scheduled seminars is required of all majors and encouraged of all minors. Lessons missed due to illness or emergency, will be made up whenever possible, when canceled in advance. When lessons must be canceled due to illness or emergency, the student must contact the studio teacher or music departmental office in advance and leave an appropriate message. It is the student's responsibility to make arrangements to reschedule missed lessons. Lessons missed for reasons other than illness or emergency will not be made up, and will result in a failing grade for that week.
All students are required to attend all brass concerts and recitals, and are encouraged to attend recitals of talented musicians in other areas as well.
