DEPARTMENTAL OVERVIEW

4

Page 5: Music Dept Handbook

Music is one of Morningside's greatest traditions. The Department of Music continues a tradition that began more than 100 years ago with the founding of the Morningside Conservatory of Music. It has been a fully accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Music since 1936. Today, extensive training and experience in music is offered to students wishing to prepare for professional careers in performance and teaching, and to those who simply value the importance of music in their lives.

The purpose of the Morningside College Music Department is to educate and prepare students who intend to pursue a career in music, to provide opportunities for all students to cultivate a life-long appreciation of music, to model and teach ethical leadership for musicians, and to contribute to the cultural enrichment of the Morningside experience and the community.

The Music Department offers four degree programs:

1. The Bachelor of Arts Degree with a minor in Music. Students pursuing this degree must complete 24 hours of music courses.

2. The Bachelor of Arts Degree with a major in Music provides a general concentration in music with a variety of career options.

3. The Bachelor of Music Degree is pursued primarily by students aspiring to become performing artists or who expect to earn their living by teaching performance.

4. The Bachelor of Music Education Degree enables students to meet requirements which lead to licensure to teach K-12 music in Iowa.

Specific departmental objectives include the ability to:

1. demonstrate college-level performance skills.2. demonstrate college-level analytical skills.3. demonstrate musical creativity.4. demonstrate college-level listening skills.5. demonstrate appropriate teaching skills.6. demonstrate college-level writing skills.7. demonstrate college-level oral skills. 8. demonstrate a college-level understanding of the history of music.9. contribute to the cultural enrichment of the Morningside College experience and the

community. 10.demonstrate ethical behavior appropriate for professional musicians.

EPPLEY AUDITORIUM - MACCOLLIN CLASSROOM BUILDING

The Eugene C. Eppley Fine Arts Building provides one of the finest Music facilities in the Midwest. The auditorium, which seats 1302 people, is noted for its acoustical qualities and the majestic Sanford Memorial Organ is used for numerous musical performances throughout the academic year. The building and grounds received an extensive 1.5 million dollar renovation in the fall of 2013 and now boasts updated lighting, sound and interior details.

Building hours are Monday – Friday, 7:00 AM - 10:30 PM. Students who are currently enrolled in applied lessons and/or ensembles may check out an electronic key (fob) to the building for late

5

Page 6: Music Dept Handbook

practice and weekends. This is a privilege which is not to be abused. Note: Students who neglect to return a fob by the end of the semester will be charged $25.00 on their student account.

Master Calendar of Eppley Auditorium

The regulations for the use of Eppley Auditorium are designed to make maximum use of the auditorium and to make certain that there are no scheduling conflicts. The master calendar for the auditorium is kept in the Office of Central Scheduling. Entries on the calendar for recitals and concerts may be made only through the Chair of the Department. Please schedule rehearsal time through the Music Office. You may find the auditorium schedule in the office of Visual and Performing Arts

Rehearsals

1. No group or individual has the authority to occupy the auditorium when another group or individual has reserved the auditorium through the proper procedure. Please do not request exceptions to this basic regulation.

2. Large group rehearsals need to be scheduled well in advance of concert dates. Such rehearsals should be scheduled when the concert or other event is placed on the calendar.

3. Faculty members or students giving recitals may reserve special rehearsal times in the performance hall.

4. All faculty members should insist that each student performing in Eppley Auditorium have a minimum of one rehearsal in the hall.

Scheduling Of Concerts

The calendar of events for each academic year is created during the spring semester of the previous academic year. All concerts entered on the calendar will be announced automatically in "Coming Events" notices, on the department website, etc. Removing cancelled concerts from the calendar of events is the responsibility of the performer or the director of the ensemble and must be done through the Music Office.

Electronic Music Lab

The electronic music lab is to be used only by students who are enrolled in courses requiring lab time, or by special permission. The lab is protected by an electronic security system. The lab will be unlocked from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on weekdays.

Additional Building Policies

1. The MacCollin Classroom building and Eppley Auditorium are designated as a smoke-free environment.

2. Food and drink are not allowed in Eppley Auditorium, the practice rooms, or the electronic music lab at any time. Please be aware of these requests, especially in light of renovations.

3. The practice rooms are considered a work area. Please be respectful of others’ work time.

Lockers

6

Page 7: Music Dept Handbook

Band and orchestra music majors, minors, and ensemble participants are entitled to locker space in the storage room adjacent to Room 100. Singers and pianists may be assigned lockers, as available. Padlocks for the lockers are issued to the students in the music office for a fee of $1.00, and are assigned to a specific locker number. The locks may be issued or reissued for summer use with permission from the office. The use of private locks, or switching locks among lockers, is not allowed. Please return your lock and clean out your locker at the end of the school year. Unauthorized items found in lockers during the summer may be given away.

Use of School-Owned Instruments

Students currently enrolled in applied lessons, ensembles, and/or methods classes may borrow school-owned instruments. Wind/brass/percussion instruments are checked out and returned through the Director of Bands. String instruments are checked out and returned through the Director of the Orchestra. The student will be responsible for any damage to a school-owned instrument beyond normal wear and tear. Instruments should be inspected carefully at checkout time to avoid misunderstandings. All instruments must be cleaned and checked in at the end of the semester or the end of the school year, depending on course/ensemble requirements. They may be re-issued for summer use only with special permission. Unauthorized use, or failure to return instruments at the appropriate time, will result in additional cost to the student.

ADVISING AND DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

Acceptance to the Major and Academic Advising

Admission to Morningside College does not guarantee admission into a music degree. Students seeking admittance as music majors at Morningside College must complete a Music Theory Diagnostic Exam and pass a performance audition.

Music Theory Diagnostic Exam: The exam is a placement test indicating whether the student is prepared for college-level music theory. This exam is administered during the First-Year Orientation session. Any student who does not achieve the required minimum score on the Music Theory Diagnostic Exam will be advised to complete a music fundamentals course in the fall semester.

Performance audition: The student’s applied lesson jury at the conclusion of the first semester of applied study will serve as the performance audition. Students who have successfully passed the performance audition will be allowed to declare a music major through the Registrar’s Office. Students who do not pass the performance audition will be considered pre-majors and must continue applied study at the 200-level in order to re-audition for admission to the major at the conclusion of the next semester.

Students must pass a sophomore jury examination before they will be unconditionally accepted as a music major. Students will not be allowed to register for 400-level applied music courses until they have passed the sophomore jury examination. The sophomore jury includes a performance, written and professionalism evaluations, and an oral interview. Specific requirements for the sophomore jury, as well as all jury exams, are stated in the appropriate sections of the Department of Music Handbook.

7

Page 8: Music Dept Handbook

Students transferring to Morningside College as juniors must complete the Sophomore Jury process in order to enroll in MUHL 401: Music History I or MUHL 402: Music History II and applied lessons at the 400-level. Students transferring into Morningside College after having begun their study of Music Theory and Ear Training at another college or university may automatically transfer in courses comparable to MUTC 132 and 133: Music Theory and Ear Training I and II. Students desiring to transfer in third and fourth semesters of Music Theory and Ear Training must pass a music theory and ear training exam comparable to the final exams of Morningside College courses MUTC 232 and 233: Music Theory and Ear Training III and IV. Students who pass the placement test may be able to transfer in these theory credits from their previous school. Otherwise, students will be placed into the appropriate semester of Music Theory & Ear Training based upon the results of the placement test.

All first-year students are advised through the Krone Advising Center. Early in the spring semester, first-year students who have passed the performance audition may declare a music major in the registrar’s office. New music majors will be assigned to an advisor in the music department (minors will be assigned a secondary advisor). The chair of the department will notify the student of the advisor assignment.

Four-Year Academic Planners for each of the music majors can be found in the Appendix of this handbook. Please note: students should consult the college catalog as the primary source of information about academic regulations and degree requirements. This handbook does not replace the college catalog, nor can it provide the student with all the information necessary for completion of a music degree. If any discrepancy exists, students should comply with the standards and requirements set forth in the Morningside College Catalog. It is recommended that the combined resources of the college catalog, the Morningside Music Department Handbook, and consultation with a music advisor be utilized for a comprehensive understanding of the requirements of each program.

Keep this handbook for future reference. This handbook will also be on myside.

Ensemble Requirements

All music majors are required to participate in ensembles. Specific requirements vary according to the degree program in which the student is enrolled.

Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts in Music program are required to complete a minimum of 4 hours of ensemble credits. Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Music Education degree students are required to complete a minimum of 8 hours of ensemble credits. Students are required to be in an ensemble each semester in residence. Students will complete their ensemble credits in the area of their principal instrument. Students who have completed the 8 ensemble credits required for these degrees may enroll in additional ensembles for zero credit. Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance majors may use a maximum of 6 hours of MUEN 260/460: Collaborative Piano to help meet ensemble requirements.

Students enrolled as a Music Minor are required to complete a minimum of 4 hours of ensembles.

Writing Proficiency

The department promotes writing skills, including cogent thought, clear expression, factual content, appropriate style, and competence in mechanics. The department further requires writing standards specific to the profession, including fluent use of musicians’ vocabulary and familiarity with standard

8

Page 9: Music Dept Handbook

musical reference materials.

The music major passes the departmental writing proficiency by successfully completing the following three steps:

1. Students will be introduced to researching and writing about music as part of MUHL 102: Introduction to Music. Short research papers will be assigned during the semester with the particular purpose of learning to use scholarly sources to create original papers. Other writing assignments will include reaction papers and journal style writing to relate terms and concepts studied in class to actual musical performances.

2. The sophomore jury research paper (see Sophomore Juries for more details).3. More extensive research projects for upper level students are required in MUHL 401 & 402:

Music History I & II. Adherence to MLA style documentation practices is required. The current edition of the MLA Handbook is the guide for documentation.

In addition, all juniors and seniors giving a recital are also required to write program notes for all of the music performed.NOTE: Students who are double majoring may elect to satisfy the college’s requirement for passing a writing proficiency through either the music writing proficiency or through their other major.

Piano Proficiency

Nearly every musical activity, whether in the classroom, rehearsal hall, studio, or on the performance stage, involves the piano at some point. It is essential, therefore, that all musicians possess a working knowledge of this invaluable tool. To ensure that each student receives adequate keyboard training, all Morningside music majors are required to successfully demonstrate adequate keyboard facility according to the standards established. A four-semester class piano sequence is specifically designed to prepare students to complete the proficiency exam on schedule, with various parts of the exam being administered each semester. It is expected that all music majors will complete the piano proficiency by the time of their Sophomore Jury. All music majors must register for either Class Piano or Private Piano until they have passed Piano Proficiency. Passing all four piano classes with a grade of C- or better will result in automatic passing of the piano proficiency requirements. The final steps in completing the proficiency will be the performance of one solo work of appropriate difficulty and an appropriate collaborative work. The exam committee for these two works will be made up of the two principal piano instructors. Students entering the program with substantial background in piano may request the proficiency exam at any time. Forms for the exam will be kept on file in the piano studio. It is the student’s responsibility to keep track of their progress, and to be sure exam forms are kept up to date.

Piano proficiency requirements

1. Be prepared to play all major and harmonic minor scales, hands together, for two octaves. Tempo: Play in eighth notes with the quarter note equal to 80.

2. Be able to demonstrate the ability to play major, minor, diminished, augmented and seventh chords beginning on any scale degree, in any inversion. Examples: Play a second inversion subdominant chord in the key of F minor; play a dominant seventh chord in the key of D-flat major; play a diminished chord beginning on C; etc.

3. Sightreading: Read a simple one-line folk tune at sight, and accompany the tune by realizing popular chord symbols with the left hand (F, C7, A, etc.).

9

Page 10: Music Dept Handbook

4. Demonstrate the ability to play warm-up exercises suitable for use with a high school choir.

5. Be able to play a piano reduction of a four-voice a cappella choral composition. It is the student's responsibility to secure this piece from the Piano Proficiency Committee not more than one week prior to the examination date. The piece should be technically and musically ready for you to use in a choir rehearsal. The student has the option of performing this piece at their Sophomore Jury, or at a prearranged class piano meeting.

6. Play a piano solo. (This will be performed for at least three members of the music faculty). The composition is to be of a difficulty level at least comparable to the works found in level D of the Iowa Music Teachers Association syllabus (this syllabus may be reviewed in the piano teaching studio). It is expected that this work will be prepared during the semester of class or private lessons in which the exam will take place. Advance approval of the piano instructor in writing is required. The piece may be played from score.

7. Students must accompany a soloist or ensemble for the exam committee. The accompaniment must be approved by the piano instructor.

***Course objectives may be found in the appendix***

Applied Music Instruction

Morningside College offers applied studies at three levels:

100-level For non-majors; also for majors studying a secondary instrument; 1 credit; weekly lessons are 30 minutes

200-level For majors and advanced non-majors; 1-2 credits; weekly lessons are 50 minutes

400-level For majors who have passed a Sophomore Jury performance; 1-2 credits; weekly lessons are 50 minutes (Note: an advanced non-major may

petition the music faculty for permission to take a Sophomore Jury in order to enroll in 400-level lessons.)

Lesson times will be assigned during the first week of classes and will be posted on applied teachers’ bulletin boards. It is the student’s responsibility to check these locations for their scheduled lesson time. Applied teachers may also contact their students about lesson times by email. It is the student’s responsibility to check her/his college email at least once every 24 hours and respond to instructors’ emails promptly.

All changes of registration in applied lessons (e.g., studio assignment, number of credits, level of study, etc.) must be completed within the first week of classes.

Morningside College awards credit for applied music, ensembles, laboratory courses, repertory, and pedagogy courses following recommendations in the National Association of Schools of Music handbook (Items III.A.2.b. and c.) For applied lessons: One credit hour is awarded for 3 hours per week of practice, plus required weekly individual instruction. One hundred level applied lessons earn one credit per 30 minute weekly lesson and appropriate practice. Two hundred and four hundred level

10

Page 11: Music Dept Handbook

applied lessons earn 1-2 credits based on 50 minute lessons and appropriate practice (3 hours practice for 1 credit, 6 hours of practice for 2 credits). Students may choose the level of applied lesson credit. As a student reaches upper level individual applied instruction, 2 credits are recommended. Students are expected to attend weekly lessons and a weekly Wednesday seminar/masterclass as a part of their earned credit in applied lessons. Further, in order to earn credit, students majoring or minoring in music are expected to perform on at least one department General Student Recital (GSR) per semester.

In the case of ensembles, students may choose zero credit or one credit per ensemble. When awarding credit, Morningside treats these ensembles like lab courses awarding credit based on NASM recommendations, one credit for three to four 50-minute rehearsals per week, or the equivalent in larger blocks of time. Students are expected to participate in concert experiences, tours and related performances of each ensemble as part of the credit for the ensemble.In lecture-discussion courses, Morningside College awards credit based on four credit hours for three periods of recitation (50 minutes) and 8 hours of preparation each week of the term.

Note: Morningside College assesses fees for applied music instruction. (Please see the Morningside College Catalog for details.) A change in registration (e.g., from 1 credit to 2 credits) will affect the fee. No refunds are disbursed after the first week of the semester. Please make sure your registration is accurate at the beginning of the semester.

Private Lesson Seminar

Weekly seminars are held for all private music students. At times, all private students may meet together for a joint seminar. Most weeks, the voice students, piano students, string students, and wind and percussion students will hold their own seminars. All seminars will occur on Wednesdays from 12:45-1:35. Room assignments will be posted.

Seminars are important as a place where students can informally demonstrate progress to each other and address issues common to each other as musicians and performers.

Semester Juries

Each student enrolled in applied music must take a jury examination at the end of each semester. The jury is a way for students to demonstrate the skills they have learned and/or worked on throughout the semester. Jury panels will consist of selected faculty members. Transfer students, applying as music majors, are required to pass a jury examination prior to acceptance to any degree program.

All music juries will be scheduled during final exam week. Students will sign up for a performance jury time (approximately 10 minutes for students in 200- and 400-level lessons, 5 minutes for students in 100-level lessons). A mid-term technique jury (see your applied music course syllabus) may also be scheduled at a separate time. In this brief jury, required technical and scale assignments for the semester will be heard by at least one faculty member.

Recital Attendance Requirement

The department strongly believes in the educational value of attending performances other than one’s own. Attending a variety of other musical performances increases a musician’s repertoire, teaches

11

Page 12: Music Dept Handbook

them about other literature available for performance, and improves the ability both to perform and critically listen to music. All music majors must complete 6 semesters of MUSC102/302 (zero credits). All music minors must complete 4 semesters of MUSC102/302 (zero credits). This is a non-credit class requirement (Pass/Fail). Not only is this requirement important for growth as a musician, it also promotes support amongst peers and faculty for the enormous amount of time and energy that goes into preparing for a performance.

Guidelines For Credit

Music majors are required to attend a minimum of 75% of department-sponsored events each semester. Music minors are required to attend a minimum of 50% of department-sponsored events each semester. Students may not count performances for which they are working backstage crew. Repeat performances of a particular program will count as only one event…e.g., Mikado performances.

An up-to-date list of events can be found on the Calendar of Events link on the Music Department website and on the Music Department bulletin board. These events include General Student Recitals, Junior and Senior recitals, studio recitals, ensemble concerts, faculty recitals, and guest artist recitals.

In the case of unavoidable conflicts, the student must contact the professor IN ADVANCE in order to make other arrangements.

Attendance Verification

An attendance sheet will be placed at the door at General Student Recitals (GSRs). It is the student’s responsibility to sign the attendance sheet before the concert.

For all other events, each student must submit a signed program of the event to Deb Protexter in the music office to validate attendance. This must be done on the first day of classes after the event.

The professor of the course will submit Recital Attendance grades (Pass/Fail) as soon as the college grading program is open at mid-term and at the end of each semester. Students enrolled in Recital Attendance will receive a due date reminder from the professor prior to submission of grades. Students who have not submitted the required programs prior to the due date will not receive credit for the events in question.

Students who do not meet the minimum attendance requirements will not receive credit for having taken the course. Students who do not pass the required number of semesters of MUSC102/302 may not graduate on schedule.

Recital and Concert Etiquette: Performers and audience members are expected to demonstrate appropriate recital etiquette at all performances. Performers will dress appropriately – e.g., no jeans, shorts, flip-flops. Audience members will turn off all electronic devices.

12

Page 13: Music Dept Handbook

General Student Recital (GSRs)

Music majors and minors are expected to perform on a GSR once each semester in which they are studying privately. Any deviation from this requirement must be approved by the applied music professor, and, in extreme cases, by the department chair.

It is the student’s responsibility to submit a GSR performance request form through the music department website (http://music.morningside.edu/pages/recitalapp.html). Professors are prepared to instruct their students on gathering the proper information to be included on this form. Completed forms will be forwarded to the applied teacher who will approve/not-approve the student’s request to perform. The form must be submitted to the office one week prior to the recital date in order to be included on the program. If recital time on the requested date has already been filled, the secretary will inform the student immediately. In this case, the student will need to choose another GSR date that is also acceptable to his/her applied music professor.

Note: Please be considerate of your peers and professors by filling out the form completely and accurately. Make sure you fill in every blank on the form (even if that means you have to say “none” by some of the questions). You must include an accurate timing for your piece. Making wild guesses as to the length of your performance leaves us with recitals that are either too long or too brief.

GSR Etiquette: Performers and audience members are expected to demonstrate appropriate recital etiquette at all GSRs. Performers will dress appropriately – e.g. no jeans, shorts, flip-flops. Audience members will turn off all devices such as phones and computers.

Guidelines for Performance Requirements

1. SOPHOMORE BM students must schedule a 15 minute performance on a General Student Recital or perform on at least two GSRs per semester.

2. JUNIOR BM students must schedule a half recital (30-45 minutes). (Typically, two junior recital students will combine their programs to create one full recital.)

3. SENIOR BM students are required to schedule a full recital (60 minutes).4. SENIOR BME students are required to schedule a half recital (30-45 minutes).5. Guidelines for students performing a non-required junior or senior recital:

a. The student must be enrolled in applied lessons with a Morningside College music faculty member.

b. The student will perform a recital pre-hearing as described below.c. The student will pay the required recital fee as described below.d. The student may choose to enroll in the Junior or Senior Recital course (MUAL 321 and

MUAL 421). These students are required to write program notes for the recital. e. The student may choose not to enroll in the Junior or Senior Recital course. The

student’s applied teacher will decide whether the student will write program notes.

Policies and Procedures for Junior and Senior Recitals

1. Recital Date Requests:

13

Page 14: Music Dept Handbook

a. The calendar of events for each academic year is created during the spring semester of the previous academic year.

b. Students and their applied teachers are required to submit two or three possible recital dates to the Department Chair as early as possible in the spring semester. The music faculty will choose from the student’s preferred dates and will notify the teacher and student of the results.

c. A copy of the music calendar may be acquired in the Music Office to assist in choosing a date.

2. Performances will not to be scheduled during jury week.3. A scheduled recital (student or faculty) should be considered a firm commitment, and should

be met on the originally scheduled date. If a recital performance is scheduled and subsequently cancelled, there will be no guarantee that the recital can be rescheduled during the same semester.

4. Students preparing for a recital must successfully complete a pre-recital hearing with his/her applied music professor, the department chair, and at least one other music faculty member. The faculty will schedule the pre-hearing dates at a minimum of 3 weeks before the recital date. (Any student performing an on-campus recital is required to perform a pre-recital hearing, regardless of degree program or venue of the recital.)

5. A student who has successfully completed a recital may not be required to take a jury in the same semester. The applied music instructor, in consultation with the area applied faculty, will decide this after the recital.

6. The program for any student recital, including program notes, must be completed before the pre-recital hearing (see below for more complete information). (For students performing non-degree recitals, inclusion of program notes will be at the discretion of the applied teacher.)

7. The student's applied music professor is the official departmental advisor for printed programs. He/she will help with the proper format and will proofread final copies. Students should contact him/her for an appointment as soon as possible.

8. All recitals are recorded without charge and a master copy of the recording becomes property of the Music Library. The student may request a duplicate of the master recording by providing a blank CD to the Music Office staff.

9. The student is responsible for getting the printed programs from the music office prior to the performance.

10.Submit an Eppley Technical Rider to Central Scheduling listing all staging requirements for the program (drapes, chairs, stands, etc.). (See Department Chair for assistance.)

11.The student is responsible for any reception after the recital. (There is no charge for kitchen facilities but it must be included on any scheduling request).

NOTE: See the recital checklist in the Appendix for more information.

Programs for Student Recitals (other than GSR)

Programs for department recitals will have a standardized format. It is the performer’s responsibility to send the program to the department administrative assistant via e-mail, no later than two weeks prior to the recital. The administrative assistant will then type and format the program and have the necessary copies printed on music department standard program paper. Faculty recitals, group recitals, and student recitals are subject to this requirement.

See Appendix for sample instrumental and vocal recital programs for appropriate formatting.

14

Page 15: Music Dept Handbook

Fees for Junior and Senior Recitals

Students performing junior and senior recitals will be assessed a "recital fee." This fee will be used to help defray the cost of the collaborative pianist, piano tunings, and any programs produced through the college. The fees are as follows:

1. Full Recital............$50.002. Half Recital...........$25.003. Piano Students.....$15.00

Sophomore Juries

At the end of the fourth semester of music study, each music major must take a special sophomore jury examination. Successful completion of the Sophomore Jury is necessary for all music students to progress to upper division applied music study and for music education majors to receive permission to apply for acceptance into the teacher education program. The Sophomore Jury consists of four parts:

1. Performance2. Research Paper3. Interview4. Evaluation of Professionalism

All music majors must pass all four components of the Sophomore Jury in order to graduate with a music degree.

Students should consult the document entitled “Sophomore Jury Process” posted in Moodle in the “Sophomore Jury” course for complete details about the Sophomore Jury.

COLLABORATIVE PIANISTS

All private music students are provided a collaborative pianist free of charge. Collaborative pianists will rehearse regularly with private music students and perform with them on weekly seminars, General Student Recitals, juries, and other on-campus solo performances.

Collaborative pianist assignments for instrumentalists are requested and granted through the music office by submitting to the department administrative assistant a collaborative pianist request card along with good, readable copies of the performer’s music. Collaborative pianist assignments for singers are made through the voice faculty.

Note: Requests for collaborative pianists for junior and senior recitals must be made in a timely manner to avoid having to change the recital date.

Students assigned to a staff collaborative pianist will sign up for rehearsals on a sign-up sheet displayed on the collaborative pianists’ office door (MacCollin 216). If a student collaborative pianist has been assigned, it will be the student's responsibility to arrange reasonable rehearsal times with the pianist. The applied teacher may also request that you ask your collaborative pianist to come to some of your private lessons.

Regulations Concerning Working With a Collaborative Pianist

15

Page 16: Music Dept Handbook

After a collaborative pianist has been assigned and it is time to arrange for rehearsal time, the following guidelines must be observed:

1. The collaborative pianist must have all music at least one week prior to the first rehearsal.2. When an accompaniment is necessary, no performance will be allowed if it has not first been

rehearsed. The collaborative pianist also has the right to refuse to rehearse if music has not been submitted in a timely manner. This rule includes preparations for juries and seminars.

3. Students must be on time for all rehearsals.4. If a student cannot make a rehearsal, due to illness or an emergency, it is the student's

responsibility to notify the collaborative pianist in advance. It is acceptable to switch times with another student, but only if the music has already been submitted.
