DEPARTMENTAL GOALS
GENERAL INFORMATION
The objectives of the Department of Music are: 1. To enrich the understanding of music through the study of music literature, history, and theory. 2. To prepare students as musicians and/or music business employees and/or music educators in accordance with the standards of the National Association of Schools of Music. 3. To provide experience and training in musical performance. 4. To serve the university community and region through the performance of musical compositions. 5. For the Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy - To prepare students as music therapists in accordance with competency standards of the American Music Therapy Association.
FACILITIES: The Department of Music occupies two buildings on the university campus: the Fine Arts Center and the Berrong Music Hall. The latter houses the Music Therapy Center. PERFORMING ORGANIZATIONS: All students of the university are welcome to enroll, if they possess the necessary skills, in any of the following performing organizations: Marching Band (Fall), Symphonic Band (Spring), Jazz Ensemble B, Woodwind Ensemble, Brass Ensemble, Piano Ensemble, Guitar Ensemble, and Percussion Ensemble. Permission is not required for enrollment in these classes. All students of the university are eligible to audition for the following performing organizations: University Orchestra, Wind Symphony (Spring), Jazz Ensemble A, Southwestern Singers and Chamber Choir. Permission is not required for enrollment in these classes; however, students who do not pass the audition will be advised into an appropriate ensemble. DEGREE REQUIREMENTS: Policies and procedures concerning enrollment in Music degree programs and applied music proficiency exams are detailed in this catalog and in the Music Student Handbook posted on the department website. Some program requirements and procedures are listed in the handbook rather than in this catalog. Each student must obtain current information concerning the degree program from that source. ADMISSIONS: A performance audition is required for admission into the music program. Students who are identified as not meeting minimum performance standards (as defined by the applied instructor) will have one year to reach the level expected of an incoming freshman music major and will be made aware of their probationary status as a music major. Additionally, a theory placement exam is issued to each music student before they enroll to ensure they meet the minimum level of musical experience required for success in the music theory sequence. Students who do not pass the theory placement exam will enroll in Fundamentals of Music (spring semesters). Probationary music majors may be advised to enroll in group instruction prior to the applied lessons sequence, as the discretion of the applied faculty.
