2017-2018 Prairie View A & M University 1 Music Department of Music The Department of Music is committed to both degree-producing and extra-curricular arts programs. The music department offers the Bachelor of Arts in Music Degree with three degree concentrations: EC-12 Teacher Certification, Performance or General. The EC-12 concentration is designed for students wishing to become certified public or private school music teachers in the state of Texas. The Performance concentration is intended for students with the aptitude to pursue professional careers as concert performers and/or music instructors at the university level. The General concentration requires a minor subject area outside of music and offers a broad-based university education with a primary concentration in music and a secondary concentration in another field of study. Music Program Objectives: 1. To prepare students for professional careers and graduate study in music. 2. To provide musical and technological knowledge and solo and ensemble experiences in an educational environment that stimulates academic and musical development 3. To transmit to students the knowledge of Western and non-Western music through studies in music history, literature, theory, and performance. 4. To present music performances on the University campus and in the community for cultural enhancement. 5. To provide general music instruction and experiences to non-music majors. Admission Requirements and Regulations for Academic Progress In addition to meeting the general university core requirements, music majors and minors must earn a minimum grade of “C” in each music course in the respective degree plan. Students who have not met TSI requirements on entering the program must do so by the end of their sophomore year or they will not be allowed to progress into upper division courses. Students must also fulfill the following requirements, listed below, to enter the program, remain in the program, and/or graduate from the program: Audition: All entering music majors (freshmen and transfer students) must audition for the music faculty. Specific audition dates and requirements are listed on the music department website. Previous musical study, e.g., private lessons, participation in band, choir, orchestra, or other ensemble is essential for success in university music degree programs. Entrance Requirements – Performance Concentration: Freshman and transfer students may enter the Performance concentration on probationary status based on an exemplary initial audition before applied music faculty. At the end of the first year of study, students in this degree plan must perform a successful qualifying jury at the end of the freshman year (or first year in the department for transfers) in order to remain in the curriculum. Current students who wish to change from the BA (General) or (EC-12) curricula to the performance concentration will be required to perform a qualifying jury before a faculty committee who will determine if the student has the requisite technical and musical skills for this concentration. This jury must take place no later than the end of the sophomore year. Transfer students will have to qualify for the program immediately based on the results of their entrance audition. Music Theory Placement Examination: All freshman music students are required to take the Music Theory Placement Examination. Transfer students must provide a recent transcript so that theory skills may be evaluated. Ensemble Requirements: All music majors must participate in a large ensemble for eight semesters. Large ensembles are defined as Marching Band, Wind Ensemble, Orchestra, and University Concert Chorale. As part of the large ensemble requirement, majors with an instrumental focus (wind, brass, percussion) must take four semesters of Marching Band and four semesters of Wind Ensemble; majors with a strings focus (strings) must take eight semesters of Orchestra; majors with a vocal or piano focus must take eight semesters of University Concert Chorale. Students in the Performance concentration must earn additional ensemble credits through participation in smaller ensembles. All students may receive additional ensemble credit through participation in the Jazz Ensemble, Brass Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, Chamber Singers, or Chamber Music course. This additional credit does not replace the required large ensemble credit. Semester Applied Music Examinations: Each music major is enrolled in private lessons every semester; the student is required to perform a jury before a faculty committee for evaluation at the end of each semester. The minimum length of the jury varies by degree program. Mid-Level Proficiency Examinations: Each student will undergo Mid-Level Proficiency Examinations in Music Theory and Applied Music at the end of the Sophomore year. The examinations must be passed before entering 3000-level music courses in each area of examination. Specific requirements for the Applied Music Examination are published in the 2000-course level applied music course syllabus. Recital Requirements: All music majors have recital requirements as an important capstone experience within each concentration. EC-12 and General students perform one degree recital after eight semesters of applied music study. Performance students perform two degree recitals: junior and senior. Each student must perform a pre-recital jury for applied music faculty to determine readiness for the recital.
