3 FOREWORD Dear Advocate of Music: On behalf of the entire Music Program of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts, let me thank you for your interest in the Music Program at NORTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURAL & TECHNICAL STATE UNIVERSITY. The information contained herein will provide you with an overview of the Music Program and resources available for the intellectual development of our students. Accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), the Music Program prides itself as being the little giant of the University. The approximate 7:1 student to teacher ratio provides the opportunity for immediate professional attention and academic assistance at the time it is needed. The highly-qualified faculty brings to the Program their experiences representing preparation in the world s finest colleges, universities, and professional venues. The three undergraduate degree programs prepare students for careers in education (Bachelor of Science in Music Education), professional performance (Bachelor of Arts in Performance) or preparation for Electronic Music, Musical Theater, and Pre-Music Therapy through an interdisciplinary program (Bachelor of Arts in General Music). Some of these programs may include internships and/or other adjunct learning experiences as a part of their intellectually-challenging academic experiences. Performance experiences in the curricula include the highly-rated University Concert, Symphonic and Marching Bands, the University Choirs, the Jazz Ensemble, Chamber Singers, Opera Workshop, Brass, Woodwind and Percussion Ensembles. For those whose orientation is toward music electronics and engineering, there is also an Electronic Music Laboratory. We encourage you to peruse this information carefully as you make your academic considerations. Should there be the need for additional information, please call the numbers listed on the cover of this document, send an , and/or come for a personal visit with us. Sincerely, Dr. John P. Henry, Jr. Associate Professor of Music Music Program Director 3

4 A Brief History of the Music Program The Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina granted its first Bachelor of Science degrees in Instrumental Music in At that time, the following statement was made: The principal and ultimate aim of the course in Music is therefore directed toward the development of real interest in music and a sincere desire to understand and enjoy it more fully. The curriculum is designed to give further preparation for the students of talent primarily interested in learning music and influencing the cultural development of the community by much needed musical activities in rural as well as urban centers. In keeping with the above statement, the courses of instruction were: Elements of Music, Elementary Harmony, Advanced Harmony and Analysis, Introduction to the Study of Music, the History of Music, Public School Music Methods (elementary, junior and senior high schools), Orchestration and Band. Since those humble beginnings, the Program has continued to develop and expand its offerings. In 1992, it achieved accreditation by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), and now offers three undergraduate degree programs: The original Bachelor of Sciences Degree in Music Education, the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music Performance (instrumental and vocal), and the Bachelor of Arts Degree (general music), which was designed by the Music Faculty as an interdisciplinary liberal arts degree, combining the study of music with six other possible sub-disciplines. Graduates of the division have historically represented Dear A&T well. They have performed on the stages of the leading opera companies, jazz halls, theaters, and classrooms from the most prestigious universities and conservatories of the world, and in nearly every conceivable musicrelated endeavor. In 2001, the Music Program merged with Visual Arts, Theater and Dance to become part of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts. 4

12 Degrees Offered In Music The Music Program offers three-degrees. The Bachelor of Arts degree in General Music, the Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Performance, and the Bachelor of Science degree in Teacher Education are designed to accommodate students who wish to enter some area of music other than teaching K-12. The other program is a teacher-education based curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in Teacher Education, with either a choral or instrumental concentration. Students who intend to teach in the public schools are strongly urged to follow this curriculum in order to meet the requirements for licensure. Only under the exceptional circumstances will the Program make professional recommendations in support of persons attempting to enter teaching areas without the proper academic preparation: the Bachelor of Science degree in Teacher Education. In subsequent pages of this document, the specific requirements for each degree program will be outlined. The requirements for each degree program may differ, and are not necessarily interchangeable. Affected persons are advised to check the programs very carefully. a. Admission to the Program as a Music Major/Transfer Student Admission to the undergraduate degrees in the Music Program is based upon the general admission requirements of the University. For certified admission to the study of music as a major, the prospective music student must satisfactorily pass an audition set by a panel of the Music Faculty in the principal applied music area a they must, must meet the required high school GPA of 2.5 or better. In addition to the audition, a music theory placement examination is required. Transfer students must follow the same process, as well other requirements by the Office of Transfer Articulation. b. Retention as a Major To continue in the Music Program as a major, a student must maintain a C (2.8) average in all music courses. Students whose averages fall below 2.8 will be placed on probation for the following semester of enrollment. Student progress will be evaluated at the end of the fourth semester of enrollment to determine approval for enrollment into upper level (Junior classification, Music courses). The faculty and administration of the Program reserves the right to terminate the tenure of students who demonstrate an unwillingness to conform to established standards. 12

13 c. Academic Advisement Each major is assigned to a Music faculty member for advisement in matters of curriculum, issues related to their progress through the program, and are required to enroll in Recital Seminar MUSI 307. Students should consult with their advisor a minimum of four visits per semester to gain the benefit of their experience and expertise. The advisor has the responsibility for guiding the students through their academic career at the University. Students have the responsibility of availing themselves to this counsel and the responsibility of following through with the advice provided. Each advisor will submit to the Music Director at various intervals a list of students doing unsatisfactory work. The Music Director will meet with those students immediately to try and determine a possible solution for the unsatisfactory work. e. Performance Ensembles Each student with a major in music is required to maintain continuous membership in a departmentally sanctioned performance ensemble directly relating to the major instrument. This must be done every semester of enrollment in the Music Program. Music education majors, who cannot participate during the semester in which they are doing their student teaching, are the only exception. Program sanctioned ensembles include the following: University Bands (marching, concert, and symphonic), University Choir, Jazz Ensemble and chamber ensembles that include the Chamber Singers, Percussion, Woodwind, and Brass ensembles. However, participation in more than a single academic ensemble is possible and encouraged, provided that there are no schedule conflicts or violation of University policy concerning student course load. f. Recital Seminar Music 307 (Recital Seminar) is required each semester of enrollment as a major in the Program. Also, attendance is required for all Music majors at student or faculty recitals, band, choir, chamber ensemble concerts, and Lyceum programs that involve musical performance. A systematic method of checking and recording attendance will be used. The grade will be determined by attendance and specific requirements and rules will be set forth in the syllabus for this class. 13

14 g. Instruments, Music and Practice Facilities Several studios are provided as practice facilities for students in the Frazier and Dudley Buildings. The hours of availability will be determined by the Music Director and University Police. Each studio contains a piano which is tuned regularly and repaired. These areas are reserved for Music Majors only, and each person using the practice space assumes the responsibility for the maintenance of the instrument provided. Those persons desiring the use of the studio must consult with the program director and follow guidelines set forth by the University Events Center for scheduling the use of any facility on campus. With the exception of piano students, all music majors are required to furnish an instrument for personal use in performance classes.

30 DMA in Percussion Performance and a Cognate in Percussion Pedagogy and Music Education, University of North Carolina at Greensboro APPENDIX A PROCEDURES FOR JURY EXAMINATION The purposes of the Applied Music Jury Examination Are: (1) To serve as a final examination for each semester of study on the principal instrument. (2) To safeguard the integrity of the teacher and the interests of the student due to the highly subjective nature of the evaluation process. (3) To ensure that a satisfactory standard of performance is maintained. (4) To provide data that will aid in the counseling and guidance of students who have academic problems in the study of music. Such examinations are given individually to each student either during or immediately prior to the official period established for final examinations. The entire faculty of the music program will sit as the jury for each student. Evaluations are made on a standardized rating sheet designed for each medium of performance. A record of each examination to which a student is subjected will be placed on file in his departmental folder. The jury will be concerned with the knowledge understanding, and general musicianship indicated in the teaching outlines for each course level. Evaluations are made on each student s performance of representative literature that he has studied during the current semester which exhibits his satisfaction of the objectives sought at that course level. The selection of literature is critical since the performance of isolation of scales, arpeggios, ornaments, technical exercises, etc. is not a creditable basis for evaluation ad thereby unsuitable for examination materials. The result of the jury examination will be weighted as one-fourth of the final grade. The remaining components of the final grade which are the recital performance and the weekly performance during lessons will be weighted at one-fourth and one-half respectively. Each member of the faculty will tabulate the final grade for his/her applied music students. I. BEFORE THE EXAMINATION: A. Consult with your applied teacher to determine exactly what literature you will be expected to perform. B. Prepare your performance literature well in advance so that nervousness and tension are minimized. C. Make Four (4) copies each of your performance literature to be given to the Faculty panel of jurors on the day and at the time of your examination. These copies will be returned to your applied teacher. The process of copying music is the responsibility of the individual student, not the teacher or the Music Program. Students who report to the jury late or without the appropriate copies will not be examined. D. Prepare a brief sketch of the composer(s) of your performance literature and include: 30

31 Full name of composer; dates; period/form and/or style of the composition(s), and if composition(s) is/are excerpt(s) of an extended work, identify the work(s). This information will be announced in a brief oral statement prior to the actual presentation. E. Report to the jury site at least Thirty(30) minutes before time for your examination. This time should be spent in warming and tuning your instrument and preparing for the performance. F. Be flexible, as the actual Exam Times may run plus or minus ten minutes. II. YOUR JURY EXAMINATION A. Enter the Examination Room with a positive, professional attitude, ready to present your absolute best in performance. B. Announce your performance composition (as described in I. D) C. Perform as directed. D. Answer questions from panel (when asked in a brief but concise manner.) Questions will be directly related to your applied music study and/or your presented literature. E. Leave promptly when dismissed. III. AFTER THE EXAMINATION A. Check with your applied music teacher for a complete review of your examination. You may also request a listing of music that you will need for the following semester. In keeping with university policy, the Music Program seeks to avoid penalizing the promising student for faulty pre-college preparation due to the lack of opportunity. Upon the recommendation, of the applied teacher, a student who shows substantial progress and promise, but does not completely satisfy the objectives for a course level may pass the jury examination and the course with the stipulation that said student successfully complete an additional semester of applied study at that same level. However, for a student who is unable to progress in applied music at a normal rate by the end of the sophomore year (fourth semester), the Program Director will request that the student change to another major discipline wherein a greater success level may be enjoyed. 31
