Welcome from the Director

We are so glad that you are either considering musical study at LSC-Tomball or have already enrolled! Welcome. This handbook contains information related to general department policies, procedures and requirements, and includes other valuable information. It is designed to help you understand how the Music Department works and give you hints sot that you can get the most out of your time at LSC-Tomball. Please become familiar with the handbook, and feel free to use this document as a point of reference. Performance ensembles and applied lessons are the heartbeat of any music program and are open to all students, staff and community members who are interested. As a result, not everyone begins their study at the same level or continues along a prescribed path. This is a good thing! We are an open enrollment institution and it is wonderful to be a part of the music learning process with students at many different levels. Faculty associated with the Music Program at LSC-Tomball are dedicated to helping you reach your educational and professional goals. Please do not hesitate to approach us with any questions or concerns that you have. I wish you the best in your study with us at LSC-Tomball – you’ll be challenged, you’ll become a member of a community of musicians, and you’ll learn skills and make memories to last a lifetime. Warmly,

Dr. Lisa Morales Department Chair, Music Program Director Voice and Choral Studies [email protected] 281.401.1845

Music Program Mission

The LSC-Tomball music program provides the first two years of undergraduate coursework and training for the region’s student artists. As part of an academically rigorous and performance-rich environment, the department hosts formal concerts, student and faculty recitals, outreach programs, as well as interactive performance events in smaller venues.

Student Focused Music Program Goals

1) Nurture the unique talents of the students in our program, regardless of prior training.

2) Expand the capacity of LSC-Tomball performance ensembles in terms of repertoire and quality of sound.

3) Create an even greater sense of community among faculty and students alike, marked by a strong sense of togetherness and support of each other as artists, performers, leaders, and human beings.

4) Provide enhanced opportunities for students to apply what they are learning in

the studio and in performance ensembles.

What Should You Get Out of College?

An enhanced capacity to think and express yourself with clarity!

The ability to think critically about issues, to analyze them, and to come up with

their own conclusions; under all circumstances!

Learning how to learn! Mastering the art of learning is by no means an easy

accomplishment. The task demands an eagerness – better yet, a passion –

for learning itself; a mind open to complexity, ambiguity, and opposing points

of view; the insight to formulate the right questions; the thirst for answers and

the independence, once all this is done, to arrive at one’s own conclusions.

To be successful in this complex world, you need to be able to work with a

diverse group of people and handle challenges.

The consideration of diverse perspectives, even those with which you disagree!

This is difficult and requires moving outside of your own way of seeing the

world.

An independent capacity to ask questions and evaluate answers.

Getting Started – Frequently Asked Questions

Congratulations! You’ve decided you want to study music either as a major

or for personal growth and enrichment. Whatever your reason may be we

are glad you are here. Here are some common questions people have had

in the past.

I’ve never sung or played before, is it okay for me to sign up?

o Absolutely! Make an appointment and let’s talk! We’ll find the best way for

you to get started. Contact the Music Program Director - call 281.401.1845

or email [email protected].

Do I have to be a music major to enroll in ensembles or applied music?

o No. Ensembles are open for enrollment to students, staff and community

members who have prior high school or other band, choir or orchestra

experience. Directors in most groups will expect you to be able to read

music; however, know that we want to work with you. Applied music

lessons require department approval and an audition before you enroll.

Contact the Music Program Director - call 281.401.1845 or email

[email protected].

How do I enroll in an ensemble?

o If you have prior ensemble experience, you can sign up online through your

mylonestar account or by talking to an academic advisor. No permission is

required.

How do I enroll in Applied Music?

o Enrolling in Applied Music requires departmental approval. New students

need to request a meeting with Dr. Lisa Morales - we’ll want to hear you

play your instrument or sing in an audition format. The audition allows us to

determine current level of skill for placement purposes. If you are ready for

Applied Music, you will need written permission from the Music Program

Director. You will show the written permission to an academic advisor as

part of the registration process. Returning students need only to send an

email to Dr. Morales asking for permission; similarly, the response will need

to be taken to advising in order to complete the registration process.

How do I audition for a scholarship?

o Scholarship auditions will be announced ahead of time and are typically

held the week before or the first week of the semester. You will need to

request an audition time based on the announced timeframe and your

availability. You should prepare two contrasting pieces that are the best

7

representation of your past work and current level. Instrumentalists should

also prepare scales and be ready to demonstrate technical skills.

What am I going to have to do in applied lessons and ensembles?

o Responsibilities will vary according to each instructor. You should expect to

practice/learn music outside of rehearsal and lessons, attend regular

rehearsals, concert previews, and concerts. Applied Music students should

also expect to work on issues of vocal or instrumental technique and

prepare for songs for special events, student recitals, and juries at the end

of the semester.

Do I need to own an instrument?

o Yes. It is important that you have your own instrument in good working

condition. If you need assistance in finding a retailer to purchase an

instrument, we are available to help.

What are the instructors’ expectations?

o Grading and expectations will vary from studio to studio and group to group,

but generally attendance at rehearsals/lessons and concerts/recitals and

your own musical preparation are the most important factors. You should

plan to practice your music outside of rehearsals/lessons. Instructors will

expect you to be fully engaged in rehearsals and private lessons – listening

and applying instruction.

What are Juries?

o Juries are the equivalent of a final exam for students enrolled in Applied

Music and are adjudicated by the music faculty at LSC-Tomball. Juries are

typically scheduled for the Tuesday afternoon of final week each semester.

Preparation and requirements for juries are determined by instructor, studio,

and/or instrument or vocal expectations. You will receive information about

juries at the beginning of the semester and within the instructor’s syllabus.

What are some examples of performance opportunities?

o During the semester there are a number of opportunities that include but

are not limited to: concerts, recitals, special events, and occasional trips out

to the community1.

1 On the occasion that student travel is necessary, there will be paperwork to be filled out in advance. Please return completed forms as soon as possible when asked!

Other Things to Keep in Mind…

A successful musician at any level will note several factors as crucial for the journey.

While some degree of innate talent is helpful, even more significant is a person’s

willingness to work hard, move past frustration to accept good challenges, the cultivation

of relationships, and putting yourself in the right place at the right time. Your commitment,

your GRIT, your thoughtfulness will help you develop essential work habits and skills that

can guide your future career – wherever life takes you. The study of music has much to

teach us about life.

Carefully read this handbook.

Practice the music assigned to you in lesson and performance ensembles –

the time and effort you dedicate will determine your level of performance.

Weekly practice logs are tool that can be used and reviewed by instructors in

order to help you achieve your goals…

Ensemble classes are 14-week late start classes.

Applied Music classes begin the first week of the semester – instructors will

contact you to schedule lessons.

Be prepared – in addition to your music, bring a pencil and eraser with your

music to rehearsals!

Lateness/attendance – your promptness and good attendance constitute a part

of your grade and signal your commitment.

Absences – an absence is acceptable only in a personal emergency or

sickness. In the event that absence is necessary, contact your professor in

advance or as soon as you can. It is never acceptable to simply not show up to

rehearsal or lesson.

Behavior – the classroom is a professional setting, which means using common

sense and common courtesy.

Grading – your instructor’s grading policy will be included in his or her syllabus.

Retain the syllabus and refer to it often during the semester.

Email news – from time to time there will be updates about events or other

important information sent to you via email. Please be sure to give us the email

that you check most often and be sure to check it regularly!

Stage etiquette – how you look and act on stage is an important part of your

performance. It is your job to create the right environment to enhance your

audience’s appreciation.

9

o Dress – your ensemble director will specify concert dress within the

syllabus and/or and in rehearsals prior to concerts.

o Stage entry – enter with confidence. Your entry and exit line up should

be planned ahead of time. While on stage – sit/stand proudly. Your stage

persona should command an audience to listen.

o Facial expressions and body language – be engaged. Interpret the

music. Your body is also your instrument.

Four-Year Study and Course Transfer Credit: If you are planning to transfer to a four-year university, it is your responsibility to speak to an advisor, both at Lone Star College and at the institution where the student will transfer and make sure your courses will transfer.

We want to help you with the process of transferring to a four-year university if that is a goal that you have. In the past, we have: helped students prepare for auditions, contacted our counterparts at colleges and universities for more information and introductions, provided information about particular degrees, and connected students to the right resources.

A Word about Academic Integrity:

The Lone Star College System upholds the core values of learning: honesty, respect,

fairness, and accountability. We promote the importance of personal and academic

honesty. We embrace the belief that all learners – students, faculty, staff and

administrators – will act with integrity and honesty and must produce their own work and

give appropriate credit to the work of others. No fabrication of sources, cheating, or

unauthorized collaboration is permitted on any work submitted within the District.

Consequences for academic dishonesty to be determined by the professor, or the

professor and Academic Dean, or the professor and Chief Student Services Officer can

include but are not limited to:

1.) having additional class requirements imposed,

2.) Receiving a grade of zero or “F” for an exam or assignment,

3.) Receiving a grade of “F” for the course,

4.) Being withdrawn from the course or program,

5.) Being expelled from the college district.

Professors should clearly explain how the student’s actions violated the academic

integrity policy, how a grade was calculated, and the actions taken.

13

Audition Information

Auditions allow us to meet with you and hear you play your instrument or

sing. We want to determine your current level of skill so that we put you in

the best situation for your goals and development. As mentioned earlier, feel

free to contact Dr. Lisa Morales for information regarding audition schedules.

Scholarship auditions will be announced ahead of time and are typically held

1-2 weeks before the semester begins. You will need to request an audition

time based on the event time frame and your availability.

What should you present for an audition?

Voice – You should prepare and have memorized at least two selections in

contrasting styles. If you have taken lessons in the past, we would love to

hear pieces that represent your prior training: one selection from traditional

vocal literature, such as an art song or an aria, and a second selection of

contrasting style. A sight-reading and ear-training exercise may be also

included in the audition. Repertoire in a foreign language is desirable but not

required.

Piano – You should prepare and have memorized two selections of

contrasting styles and/or musical eras. For example, a Bach two-part

invention could be paired with a movement from a Mozart sonata. Sight-

reading and scales may also be included in the audition.

Instruments – You should prepare a solo selection from the standard

repertory (i.e. contest lists etc.) In addition, the student may be asked to play

scales in the major scale and the chromatic scale in at least two octaves. A

sight-reading and ear-training exercise may also be included in the audition.

Percussion – You should demonstrate basic skills on two of the following

instruments: snare drum, timpani, and any of the mallet instruments.

14

Scholarships

Music scholarships are granted to student musicians on the basis of

demonstrated musical ability and commitment to the program.

In order to be considered for a music scholarship, you must audition for the

LSC-Tomball music faculty who will assess your skill level and want to know

more about your musical goals.

There are a limited number of scholarships available to music students. If

are selected as a recipient of a scholarship, there are a number of

requirements that you must fulfill. First, you are expected to write a “thank

you” letter to your donor and submit to the Financial Aid office for approval

before the scholarship can be awarded. In addition, as a music scholarship

recipient you are expected to:

- Maintain a minimum of 2.0 GPA

- Be enrolled in approved music classes and maintain good attendance

(MUAP, MUEN, MUSI)

- Participate in public performances as required

- Model productive learning, leadership, and the values of teamwork

As a scholarship award winner, you are making a commitment to the music

program and are considered a member of the Music Leadership Team.

Student leaders within the Music Department are held to high standards and

are expected to model productive and courteous behavior.

IMPORTANT: If you agree to the terms and accept responsibility as outlined,

but fail to fulfill stated obligations, you risk your good standing with the

department and will be ineligible for future music scholarships from Lone Star

College Tomball. Moreover, you may be asked to return scholarship monies.

15

Attendance Policies

Performance Ensembles

Concert Choir – Jazz Ensemble – Chamber Orchestra

Attendance at rehearsals and performances is mandatory and vital to the success of the

ensemble. Should you anticipate an absence, please notify the instructor in advance in

writing and in person. An excessive number of absences will preclude the successful

completion of this course. Failure to attend a required performance for other than excused

reasons will result in your final grade being lowered by two letters. Being late to rehearsals

three times will result in your final grade being lowered by one letter. Excused absences

require written notice and evidence.

Mandatory performance dates are given by each instructor at the start of the semester, it

is expected that you make prior arrangements with your employer to ensure that you are

able to attend performance if you tend to be scheduled to work during the evenings.

Should you find yourself in the position where you miss a rehearsal, it is your responsibility

to contact your instructor as soon as possible and to contact your colleagues to find out

what you have missed.

Be sure to carefully read the syllabus given by your instructor. Individual instructors will

have specific course requirements and consequences related to attendance.

Applied Music

You are expected to attend each scheduled lesson. If it is necessary to miss a lesson

because of an illness or other valid reason, the instructor should be notified in advance

personally or by phone call. The instructor may make up lessons if you give 24 hour

notice and have a good reason. Instructors are not obliged to make up lessons that fall

on holidays. The instructor will be diligent to make-up all lessons cancelled by the

instructor and valid excused absences. An excessive number of absences will preclude

the successful completion of the course.

16

Practice and Practice Rooms

Regular daily practice is essential for success in applied music. Significant progress

each semester in your performance area is not only expected but necessary to successful

completion of the semester. A minimum of 30 minutes of practice per credit hour per day

is required for adequate progress.

Weekly practice logs can be used as a tool to be reviewed and signed by your

instructor at the beginning of each lesson. (Iit will be apparent during your lesson

whether you have really practiced!)*See attached practice journal on pages

Practice rooms are available for use on a daily basis between the hours of 8:00am

and 4:30pm, Monday through Friday. It is strongly encouraged that you use them!

They are located in East Hall rooms: E156, E157, and E158

o These rooms are kept locked. For access you will need to go over to the

Arts, Business, Behavioral Sciences and Social Sciences office located in

the West Hall (W219) for a key. You will select an available key, and sign it

out with your first and last name and a contact number. The Division Office

will also request you leave your driver’s license so you are sure to return

the key. Be courteous to your fellow musicians and be sure to return the

keys before 5:00pm!

Do not put paper over the windows of the practice room doors. This creates a

safety hazard.

Leave practice rooms in clean orderly state.

Throw away your trash into the trashcan located under the stairwell in East hall.

Student Recitals

Each semester, applied music students are required to participate in student recitals.

Recitals are an important opportunity to showcase what you have been working on

throughout the course of the semester and develop presentation skills. Dress is typically

business casual. No jeans/t-shirts and tennis shoes! Take pride in your appearance!

It is imperative that you have a three-ring binder with all of your music, marked and

“ready to go” for your accompanist.

Juries

At the end of each semester you are enrolled in private lessons, you will perform a jury.

Juries are the equivalent of a final exam and should represent the progress achieved over

the semester. During your jury, you will be asked to perform selections from the music

that you have studied throughout the semester for the music faculty.

In the final weeks of the semester, your private lesson instructor will ask you to sign up

for a time – jury time slots are typically ten minutes in length and juries are usually

conducted on the Tuesday afternoon of finals week.

What you will need to bring to your jury:

At least 5 copies of your repertoire list – a listing of all material studied during that

semester. Please include your name, the semester and year, your instructor’s name and

instrument at the top of the page. List all repertoire studied that semester by title and

composer, and note with an asterisk which pieces you have prepared to perform for the

jury. Each studio or professor will have guidelines. For examples, singers are to have

prepared four to six pieces depending on credit hours earned, memorized and ready to

perform.

Juries are graded on a pass/fail basis. The jury is a final performance; dress accordingly.

It is imperative that you have a three-ring binder with all of your music, marked and

“ready to go” for your accompanist.

19

Cell Phones/Electronics Policy

Rehearsal time is extremely limited and focused on the cohesiveness of the ensemble –

a group of people sounding as one.

Cell phone/electronics usage during rehearsal is not only distracting but also

disrespectful to your director and the colleagues in your ensemble. Therefore, the use

of cell phones during rehearsal time is not permitted.2 Phones and other devices

should be silenced and put away for the duration of the rehearsal. Should you receive a

call or message during a rehearsal that requires your immediate response, you should

step out into the hall and quietly do so. Sectional work may occur during a rehearsal;

this does not mean you should get out your phone and start texting your friends. You

should be looking over your music and working towards greater understanding of the

music as a whole. Be ready to participate immediately when asked.

If you are on your phone during a rehearsal without good reason, you will be asked

ONCE to put your phone away and be ready to participate.3 Any further reminders will

result in your dismissal from rehearsal.

2 The only time it is acceptable to use your phone during rehearsal is if you are recording a section to help you practice outside of rehearsal. 3 This reminder is one time for the entire semester only.

20

Student Travel

The music department frequently enjoys opportunities for community performances, to

learn in master class settings, or to participate in college events. Often, we’re required to

travel.

Any student travel requires a great deal of paperwork that must be filled out and turned

in a few weeks prior to the event. When the director asks you to fill out and return forms,

please do so immediately. Be conscientious with this important process. If you do not

complete the forms with the appropriate signatures, you will not be allowed to travel.

These forms must be completed in preferably blue or black ink and all personal

information must be filled in. No pencil!

Event specifics may be filled in by the director. Essential information required on these

forms include:

1. Your vehicle type

2. License plate number

3. Auto insurance provider

4. Emergency contact person/phone number

5. Your contact information

Failure to turn completed and signed paperwork by the designated date will prevent you

from participating.




21

Advice from a student and graduate…

Set a high standard for yourself! Do something so well that everyone knows

something special is happening! Pay attention to detail, do the little things that

make a difference, be a little different, work a little harder – this is the key to

success.

Take care of business and respect others! This will help to guide you in your

future and help to build a successful life and career.

Create a daily, organized, well-disciplined study and practice schedule for

yourself. Listen, take notes, be respectful. Your private teachers will be glad to

help you in improving these areas of personal development.

It’s not all about talent. “Nothing in this world can take the place persistence.

Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the

world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are

omnipotent.” – Calvin Coolidge

Be easy to work with. Show up on time. Be positive. Be adaptable. Be excited.

Be prepared to explore and experiment rather than rejecting new ideas,

even if they are in direct opposition to your concept.

Don’t whine or make excuses.

Love your colleagues and be generous to them – they are your family. Be

friendly to everyone in the rehearsal room. EVERYONE. Do not act like a diva.

You are one of a team, and if you embrace that, then the team will have your

back when you need them. And you WILL need them.

Be kind to yourself. Look after yourself. You are not unbreakable. Nobody is

perfect every time, or even most of the time. Believe in yourself and give

yourself a break. Give yourself permission to experiment in the rehearsal room.

Be brave.

If you are sick, take a sick day. Do NOT “soldier on”. You will take forever to

get better and nobody will thank you when everyone else comes down with

your illness.

Enjoy the moment. Even on the days when you are exhausted, distracted, sick,

fresh out of inspiration, overworked and generally over it, remember why you

do this.
