DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC STATEMENT The objectives of the Department of Music are to provide majors with a strong foundation in all aspects of music, including performance, history, pedagogy, and theory; to contribute to the breadth of the Liberal Arts component of the General Education Program of the university; and to provide performance and cultural possibilities for the university and Western Maryland. The following programs of study are available within the Music Major Program:

Concentration in Vocal Performance (see…p. 18)

Concentration in Music Management (see…p. 20)

Performance Track for Instrumentalists (see…p. 18)

Teaching Certification Option (see…p. 11 and 16) The Department of Music also offers a Music Minor. It is designed for students who have a love for music and who would like to continue being involved in ensemble and solo performance. Twenty-three credit hours are required to complete the Music Minor.

2

MUSIC MAJOR POLICIES I. AUDITION Entering freshmen and transfer students are required to pass an audition in their chosen performing area before being accepted as Music Majors. In cases of deficiency, students may be granted conditional status while pursuing their Music Major curriculum and be given full major standing at a later date. The audition repertoire must include two contrasting compositions differing in period and style. For vocalists, two different languages are expected. If an accompanist is required, the music office must be notified and provided a copy of the music at least two weeks before the audition. A music theory placement test will be given at the time of the audition. It includes recognition of scales, chord qualities, key signatures and intervallic and melodic dictation. Students will also be expected to vocally match pitch, both singly and in a short series. Transfer students will be tested at the level of the last completed semester of the sending institution. Because the Music Performance Concentration’s requirement includes two solo recitals (as opposed to one for the Teaching Certification option (Music Education) and Music Management track), students are required to display relatively higher technical and musical proficiency levels for this concentration. Students wishing to change their declared concentration/track from Music Education or Music Management to Performance are required to re-audition. Once admitted to the department, any student wishing to change their concentration/track from Music Education or Music Management to Performance or change their primary instrument concentration must do a complete re-audition that is either at a jury or scheduled separately. II. TRANSFER STUDENTS AND CHANGE OF MAJOR Transfer students who have completed a community college music major program will be given one semester to meet Sophomore Evaluation and Piano Proficiency standards and may not transfer them from another institution. Transfers with less than two years of a college music program will see the Class Piano teacher for placement and enroll in Class Piano until proficiency is reached.

3

III. PIANO PROFICIENCY By the end of the fourth semester, a basic piano proficiency is expected of all music majors. If students do not already have proficiency at the piano, they are required to enroll in one to two semesters of Class Piano to acquire this skill. Piano Proficiency (MUSA415) must be passed before the Sophomore Evaluation and before a Teaching Certification student may enter the methods and student teaching sequence. A placement examination will be given to all incoming students (freshmen and transfers) at the beginning of their first semester at Frostburg. If piano proficiency is not met, the student will have to enroll in the Class Piano course that corresponds to their keyboard ability. IV. PRIVATE INSTRUCTION: ENROLLMENT, FEES, AND MAKE-UP LESSONS All majors will enroll in private instruction and ensemble until they complete the senior recital. The private instruction fee is a non-refundable fee ($150 per credit). Non-music majors wishing to enroll in private instruction piano and guitar must first enroll in Class Piano I and Class Piano II, or Class Guitar I and Class Guitar II. Lessons missed by students for which no prior notification has been received will not be made up. Lessons missed by faculty will be made up. In cases where a faculty member is absent for a protracted length of time, an attempt will be made to find a replacement. Students enrolled in private instruction must be concurrently enrolled in an ensemble. V. ACCOMPANIST POLICIES AND FEES Students are expected to contact and use accompanists for Juries, President's Concert Auditions, Scholarship Auditions, Junior and/or Senior Recitals. Students are expected to pay the accompanist prior to the performance, or at the time of service. Failure to pay your accompanist will result in an Incomplete for the course and may turn into an F. Student Recitals $40.00 (2 half-hour rehearsals plus performance) Juries $40.00 (2 half-hour rehearsals plus performance) Sophomore Evaluation $40.00 (2 half-hour rehearsals plus performance) Junior/Senior Recitals (full) $300.00 (3 one-hour rehearsals plus performance) Junior/Senior Recitals (half) $150.00 (3 one-hour rehearsals plus performance) Double Recitals $150.00 per student (3 one-hour rehearsals per student plus

performance) Extra Rehearsals Additional rehearsals outside those allotted above are available

for $20.00 an hour Lesson Accompaniment $10.00 for a half-hour lesson

4

VI. JURIES At the end of each semester all students enrolled in either 1- or 2-credit private instruction will take a jury in lieu of a final exam (except juniors or seniors who have performed a recital during the semester and sophomores taking the Sophomore Evaluation). Students must use original music, not xeroxed copies. Jury requirements are reflected in the course syllabi by each individual instructor. Students must pay for an accompanist for their jury. Failure to pay your accompanist will result in an Incomplete for the course and may turn into an F. Schedule sign-up sheets are placed on a bulletin board outside the music office two to three weeks before exams begin. Jury/repertory sheets are available in the music office. VII. ENSEMBLE PARTICIPATION All majors/minors are to perform in the major ensemble appropriate to their instrument each semester they are enrolled as music majors. For wind and percussion majors this is Wind Ensemble. For vocal majors this is University Chorale. For guitar majors this is guitar ensemble. Pianists may elect University Chorale or Wind Ensemble. Instrumental music education majors are strongly encouraged to enroll in MUSC 329: Marching Band for a minimum of 2 semesters. Music education majors are exempt from the ensemble participation requirement during their student teaching semester (Internship II). Music management majors are exempt from the ensemble participation requirement during their senior internship semester. Participation in additional ensembles (other than the one required) is strongly encouraged. Participation in ensembles carries a $10 fee for each ensemble. VIII. RECITAL POLICIES Student Recital Attendance (MUSA 101) Music Majors and minors are required to enroll in MUSA 101 Student Recital Attendance and attend a minimum of 12 FSU Department of Music sponsored recitals and concerts per semester (except for student teaching and internship semester). Up to three off-campus performances can be included in the 12 by submitting a copy of the printed ticket and program to Mrs. Nancy Witmer. Music minors and transfer students with an Associate’s Degree must enroll in MUSA 101 for a minimum of 4 semesters.

5

Policy for Recital Attendance *Students must arrive before the recital begins and remain attentive (no sleeping) to receive credit. *There is a zero-tolerance policy regarding use of cell phone or MP3 devices. *No food, drink or candy is allowed in the PAC. *No talking or whispering during the performance. *Remain in your seat for the entire performance *Do not place your feet on the seats. Thank you for your observation of these rules and enjoy the performance. Any infraction of these policies will result in your not receiving credit for attending the concert. Recital Performance Policy (Wednesday afternoon recitals and Studio Recitals) All music majors are required to perform as soloists on a student recital once per semester. Voice students are required to perform every semester they are enrolled in private instruction (even as first semester freshmen). Instrumental majors may be exempt from this requirement only in the first semester of their freshman year, and only if deemed appropriate by their instructor. Failure to complete a solo performance each semester will result in an Incomplete for the course and may turn into an F. Some instructors schedule Studio Recital performances on an evening instead of on Wednesday afternoon. Solo performances at a Studio Recital fulfill the performance requirement. The successful completion of a Junior or Senior Recitals also fulfills this requirement. Duets and ensembles do not satisfy this requirement. Concerts by DO, SAI and PMA do not fulfill this requirement. Junior and Senior Recitals (MUSA390 and MUSA490) The Department of Music considers individual performance to be an integral part of a student’s musical training. All music majors perform a Junior and/or Senior Recital to which the public will be advertised both on and off campus. Successful completion of a sophomore evaluation in the same instrument is a course prerequisite. For a complete checklist of requirements and deadlines, please see the Chair for a copy of the MUSA 390/490 syllabus. The syllabus is also available on Blackboard. Scheduling Junior and Senior Recitals A minimum of two full semesters of private instruction following the passing of the Sophomore Evaluation, not including the semester of student teaching, will take place before the Senior Recital. Therefore, the Senior Recital will take place in the third or fourth semester after having passed the Sophomore Evaluation. Scheduling must allow for the private instructor’s presence at the recital clearance and recital. Junior and Senior Recitals may NOT be scheduled or rescheduled during finals

6

week, winter intersession or summer sessions. Students in the Teaching Certification Program must complete the Senior Recital and the Internship (student teaching) requirement in different semesters. Students in the Music Management major must complete the Junior Recital and Senior Internship in different semesters. If you elect or are required to do a Junior or Senior Recital, you must enroll in the course. All departmental and syllabus policies apply, even if it is an elective and not part of your degree program. Students not registering for 390 or 490 may elect to do a performance off campus but may not perform in PAC. Recital Clearance The recital clearance must take place not later than 20 days before the scheduled recital date. A three-member faculty committee must approve the recital clearance. The committee will consist of the applied professor, the 390 or 490 instructor (Dr. Soderberg or Dr. Gallagher) and a full-time faculty member. The student must be prepared to play the entire program and the committee will hear as much or as little of the program as they find necessary to satisfy them that all material is ready. All guest performers must be present at the recital clearance. No personnel or program changes may be made after the clearance. The entire program must pass on the day of the clearance. Non-degree Recitals Student wishing to perform a solo or joint recital in PAC must enroll in Junior/Senior Recital (MUSA 390/490). All 390/490 course requirements apply, even if the recital is not required in the student’s degree program. For example: music education students may elect to give a Junior Recital in PAC (and enroll in 390) even if it is not required for graduation. Non-degree programs shall be booked after all other departmental events are scheduled. Students wishing to perform a non-degree recital may elect to do so off campus. For example, this option is available for students missing the necessary course prerequisites for MUSA 390/490. MUSA 390/490 syllabus policies do not apply to off-campus performances. Students must make their own arrangements for space rental, piano tuning and programs. Students should consult their instructor for guidance on programs, notes, translations and other arrangements. Off-campus programs should be careful not to conflict with regularly scheduled departmental activities. Requests for PAC performances by small ensembles shall follow this same policy (groups who are not a for-credit FSU ensemble or Greek organization). Non-departmental activities may be scheduled off campus.

IX. SOPHOMORE EVALUATION At the end of the sophomore year music majors must take a candidacy exam. The Sophomore Evaluation assesses a student's success in the first two years of music study; successful completion allows the student to proceed in their upper division courses. The Sophomore Evaluation will normally be taken at the end of the sophomore year of music study and at the end of the fourth semester of private instruction. If the student is unsuccessful, a second opportunity must be taken advantage of the following semester. Following a second unsuccessful attempt, the student will be advised to pursue a different major at the University. If a student is not eligible at the end of the fourth semester of study to take the Sophomore Evaluation because the necessary coursework has not been completed, the student is granted a one-year extension to do so. At that time, the student must perform for evaluation. If the student’s attempt is unsuccessful, a second and final opportunity to pass the Sophomore Evaluation is available to the student and must be taken advantage of the following semester. Should the student not follow the aforementioned schedule, the student will be advised to pursue a different major at the University. Any student who changes their primary instrument must take a separate evaluation on that instrument. Double majors (like voice and trombone) must complete evaluations in both. Faculty discussion will follow the student’s performance, and a decision will be reached by written ballot. Faculty will not divulge any aspect of the discussion or evaluation to the student. The Department Chair will inform the student of the results of the Sophomore Evaluation. For a complete checklist of requirements and deadlines, please see the Chair for a copy of the MUSA 287 syllabus. The syllabus is also available on Blackboard. X. PERFORMING ARTS CENTER – NOISE POLICY An atmosphere conducive to normal practicing and study must be maintained 24 hours a day. Noise from this room easily carries into other practice rooms, studios and performance areas. As always, respect for the rights of others is a basic guideline to FSU policies, as stated in The Pathfinder. Any group whose volume level is loud enough to be disturbing other performances or events will be asked by PAC STAFF (both faculty and students) to turn down their volume immediately. Any SECOND such request (even if not on the same day) will result in the IMMEDIATE forfeiture of PAC facilities, and you will be asked to vacate the facility immediately. XI. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY Academic dishonesty is defined to include any form of cheating and/or plagiarism. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, such acts as stealing or altering testing instruments; falsifying the identity of persons for any academic purpose; offering, giving or receiving unauthorized

8

assistance on an examination, quiz or other written or oral material in a course; or falsifying information on any type of academic record. Plagiarism is the presentation of written or oral material in a manner which conceals the true source of documentary material; or the presentation of materials which uses hypotheses, conclusions, evidence, data, or the like, in a way that the student appears to have done work which he/she did not, in fact, do. In cases involving academic dishonesty, a failing grade or a grade of zero (0) for either an assignment and/or a course may be administered. Students who are expelled or suspended for reasons of academic dishonesty are not admissible to other institutions within the University System of Maryland. Suspension or expulsion for academic dishonesty is noted on a student's academic transcript. XII. COMPUTER MISUSE AND DISHONESTY The University considers any misuse of its computer system to be a serious offense. A student may not attempt to degrade the performance of the computer system, to seek to penetrate its security, or in any way deprive other users of resources or access to the computer. Further violations include, but are not limited to, (a) using a computer account belonging to another individual without the explicit permission of that individual; (b) tampering with the operation of the University's computer system including both its equipment and its programs; (c) using the system for commercial purposes; (d) inspecting, modifying or copying programs or data without authorization from the owner; and (e) using the electronic formats to send or display abusive, obscene, or otherwise harassing communications. XIII. FALSIFICATION OF INFORMATION Falsification of information includes any form of providing false or misleading information, written or oral, in a manner which has the intent or effect of deceiving authorized university personnel, including members of student conduct panels, or of altering or falsifying official institutional records. Misrepresentation of oneself or of an organization as an agent of the University will also be considered a violation of this section. XIV. PRACTICE ROOM CONDUCT POLICY 1. These rooms are for the use of FSU students only, with priority given to music majors,

music minors and students enrolled in FSU music courses. 2. These rooms may not be used for “bands” or “jam sessions.” 3. NO FOOD OR DRINK is allowed in these rooms. You may have bottled water but

please do not place water on the pianos! 4. Each room will be supplied with a piano, piano bench, and music stand. Please do not

move the benches or stands. Leave the room neatly organized and clean! 5. Please report any piano tuning or maintenance needs immediately to

[email protected] or x4115. 6. Please turn off the lights when you leave. 7. These rooms may not be used for storage. 8. Students must leave when the PAC is closed by security and may not stay overnight.

9

9. Student must comply with the “noise policy”. 10. Failure to comply with these rules will result in a loss of privileged use the PAC practice

rooms. Violations of FSU’s conduct policies may also result in an administrative hearing and possible action by the FSU Judicial Board.

XV. LOCKERS AND KEYS Any student taking private instruction or participating in Music Department ensembles may sign out an instrument locker for the entire academic year. Lockers are assigned by the Department administrative assistant. Locks will be provided by the Music Department and must be turned into the administrative assistant at the end of the academic year or whenever the locker is no longer in use. The student will be charged $10.00 for each lock not turned in, lost, or damaged. All PAC keys and music equipment/instruments must be turned in before students leave campus. Return keys to the administrative assistant in PAC 202; return equip/inst. to the faculty that issued it. Anyone who does not turn in their keys or music equipment will have a HOLD placed on their records. All lockers must be emptied by the end of Finals Week. Any lockers not emptied or signed out will have the contents thrown away. If a student would like to keep a locker over the summer see the administrative assistant to make arrangements. XVI. MUSIC SCHOLARSHIP CRITERIA In addition to FSU and FSUF criteria, music scholarship criteria may include the following: 1. Performance ability; 2. GPA (3.0 required or expected) and progress in academic program; 3. Departmental service; 4. Other university and community activities, organizations and volunteer work; 5. FSU honors and awards; 6.

**** Required for all Vocal Performance Majors and Vocal Music Education Majors INSTRUMENTAL MAJORS must complete 15 elective credits outside of General Education requirements and course work in the Department of Music. VOCAL PERFORMANCE MAJORS are required to minor in Foreign Languages with a concentration in French or Spanish. Only courses in which a grade of C or better is earned will count towards satisfaction of major or minor requirements. See below for more details. Summary of Requirements for Minor in Foreign Languages & Literatures The minor in French or Spanish consists of at least three 300- or 400-level courses (9 credit hours beyond the 250 course). Students minoring in a language who begin course work at the 300-level are required, through accelerated placement, to pay the fee of $10.00 per credit hour for the 211, 212, and 250 courses. A minor in a foreign language meets MOI Group B of the GEP. Extra courses may be used to fulfill MOI Group E. Accelerated Placement: The Department of Foreign Languages reviews all first time students’ records, and other students’ records by request, to determine if they are eligible for accelerated placement in language courses. If you are eligible for accelerated placement and complete a course above the 101-level with a grade of C or better, you may apply to the Department for academic credit for the courses waived, summarized as follows: at the 102 level, you will be eligible to receive 3 additional credits; at the 211 level, you will be eligible to receive 6 additional credits; at the 212 level, you will be eligible to receive 9 additional credits; at the 250 level, you will be eligible to receive 12 additional credits; at the 300 level, you will be eligible to receive 15 additional credits. There is a $10.00 fee for each hour of credit received through accelerated placement.
