FOREWORD

Dear Advocate of Music:

On behalf of the entire Music Program of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts, let me thank

you for your interest in the Music Program at NORTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURAL & TECHNICAL

STATE UNIVERSITY. The information contained herein will provide you with an overview of the

Music Program and resources available for the intellectual development of our students.

Accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), the Music Program prides itself as

being the “little giant” of the University. The approximate 7:1 student to teacher ratio provides the

opportunity for immediate professional attention and academic assistance at the time it is needed. The

highly-qualified faculty brings to the Program their experiences representing preparation in the world’s

finest colleges, universities, and professional venues.

The three undergraduate degree programs prepare students for careers in education (Bachelor of Science

in Music Education), professional performance (Bachelor of Arts in Performance) or preparation for

Electronic Music, Musical Theater, and Pre-Music Therapy through an interdisciplinary program

(Bachelor of Arts in General Music). Some of these programs may include internships and/or other

adjunct learning experiences as a part of their intellectually-challenging academic experiences.

Performance experiences in the curricula include the highly-rated University Concert, Symphonic and

Marching Bands, the University Choirs, the Jazz Ensemble, Chamber Singers, Opera Workshop, Brass,

Woodwind and Percussion Ensembles. For those whose orientation is toward music electronics and

engineering, there is also an Electronic Music Laboratory.

We encourage you to peruse this information carefully as you make your academic considerations.

Should there be the need for additional information, please call the numbers listed on the cover of this

document, send an email, and/or come for a personal visit with us.

Sincerely,

Dr. John P. Henry, Jr.

Associate Professor of Music

Music Program Director

A Brief History of the Music Program

The Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina granted its first Bachelor of Science

degrees in Instrumental Music in 1940. At that time, the following statement was made:

The principal and ultimate aim of the course in Music is therefore

directed toward the development of real interest in music and a sincere

desire to understand and enjoy it more fully. The curriculum is designed

to give further preparation for the students of talent primarily interested in

learning music and influencing the cultural development of the community

by much needed musical activities in rural as well as urban centers.

In keeping with the above statement, the courses of instruction were: Elements of Music,

Elementary Harmony, Advanced Harmony and Analysis, Introduction to the Study of

Music, the History of Music, Public School Music Methods (elementary, junior and senior high

schools), Orchestration and Band.

Since those humble beginnings, the Program has continued to develop and expand its

offerings. In 1992, it achieved accreditation by the National Association of Schools of

Music (NASM), and now offers three undergraduate degree programs: The original

Bachelor of Sciences Degree in Music Education, the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music

Performance (instrumental and vocal), and the Bachelor of Arts Degree (general music), which

was designed by the Music Faculty as an interdisciplinary liberal arts degree, combining the

study of music with six other possible sub-disciplines.

Graduates of the division have historically represented “Dear A&T” well. They have performed

on the stages of the leading opera companies, jazz halls, theaters, and classrooms from the most

prestigious universities and conservatories of the world, and in nearly every conceivable music-

related endeavor. In 2001, the Music Program merged with Visual Arts, Theater and Dance to

become part of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts.

c. Tuition Surcharge Statement

(Bulletin Link: http://www.ncat.edu/divisions/academic-affairs/bulletin/2014-2015/index.html)

The University Bulletin previously cited in this document states the following, concerning Tuition

Surcharges:

The 1993 Regular Session of the General Assembly enacted a special provision directing the Board

of Governors to impose a 25% tuition surcharge on students who take more than 140 degree credit

hours to complete a baccalaureate degree in a four year program, or more than 110% of the credit

hours necessary to complete a baccalaureate degree in any program officially designated by the

Board as a five-year program. Effective with the fall 1994 semester, all new undergraduates seeking

a baccalaureate degree at North Carolina A. & T. State University are subject to this tuition

surcharge. The surcharge cannot be waived for out-of-state students and does not apply to required

fees. The calculation of these credit hours taken at the University or transferred from a constituent

http://www.ncat.edu/divisions/academic-affairs/bulletin/2014-2015/index.html

10

institution of the University of North Carolina shall exclude hours earned through the College

Board’s Advance Placement or CLEP examinations, through institutional advanced placement or

course validation, through summer term or extension programs, or excess hours taken during 8

semesters for a four year or excess hours taken during 10 semesters for a five year program.

There are no current five-year degree programs offered in the Music Department.

d. Financial Aid

Many students matriculating in the Music Program are recipients of some form of Financial Aid.

The Higher Education Act requires that financial aid recipients maintain satisfactory academic progress

toward a degree to receive assistance. Satisfactory academic progress for students receiving Title IV

assistance means that students are expected to maintain no less than the following:

Semester Number Grade Point Average Semester Hrs

One 1.7 12

Two 1.8 24

Three 1.9 36

Four 2.0 48

Five 2.0 60

Six 2.0 72

Seven 2.0 84

Eight 2.0 96

During any year in which a student receives financial assistance, the student must pass eighty percent (80%)

of hours attempted.

Degrees Offered In Music

The Music Program offers three-degrees. The Bachelor of Arts degree in General Music, the

Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Performance, and the Bachelor of Science degree in Teacher

Education are designed to accommodate students who wish to enter some area of music other than teaching

K-12. The other program is a teacher-education based curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science degree

in Teacher Education, with either a choral or instrumental concentration. Students who intend to teach

in the public schools are strongly urged to follow this curriculum in order to meet the requirements for

licensure. Only under the exceptional circumstances will the Program make professional recommendations

in support of persons attempting to enter teaching areas without the proper academic preparation: the

Bachelor of Science degree in Teacher Education.

In subsequent pages of this document, the specific requirements for each degree program will be

outlined. The requirements for each degree program may differ, and are not necessarily interchangeable.

Affected persons are advised to check the programs very carefully.

a . Admission to the Program as a Music Major/Transfer Student

Admission to the undergraduate degrees in the Music Program is based upon the general admission

requirements of the University. For certified admission to the study of music as a major, the prospective

music student must satisfactorily pass an audition set by a panel of the Music Faculty in the principal applied

music area a they must, must meet the required high school GPA of 2.5 or better. In addition to the audition,

a music theory placement examination is required. Transfer students must follow the same process, as well

other requirements by the Office of Transfer Articulation.

b. Retention as a Major

To continue in the Music Program as a major, a student must maintain a “C” (2.8) average in all

music courses. Students whose averages fall below 2.8 will be placed on probation for the following

semester of enrollment.

Student progress will be evaluated at the end of the fourth semester of enrollment to determine

approval for enrollment into upper level (Junior classification, Music courses). The faculty and

administration of the Program reserves the right to terminate the tenure of students who demonstrate an

unwillingness to conform to established standards.

13

c. Academic Advisement

Each major is assigned to a Music faculty member for advisement in matters of curriculum, issues

related to their progress through the program, and are required to enroll in Recital Seminar MUSI 307.

Students should consult with their advisor a minimum of four visits per semester to gain the benefit of their

experience and expertise. The advisor has the responsibility for guiding the students through their academic

career at the University. Students have the responsibility of availing themselves to this counsel and the

responsibility of following through with the advice provided. Each advisor will submit to the Music

Director at various intervals a list of students doing unsatisfactory work. The Music Director will meet

with those students immediately to try and determine a possible solution for the unsatisfactory work.

e. Performance Ensembles

Each student with a major in music is required to maintain continuous membership in a

departmentally sanctioned performance ensemble directly relating to the major instrument. This must be

done every semester of enrollment in the Music Program. Music education majors, who cannot participate

during the semester in which they are doing their student teaching, are the only exception. Program

sanctioned ensembles include the following: University Bands (marching, concert, and symphonic),

University Choir, Jazz Ensemble and chamber ensembles that include the Chamber Singers, Percussion,

Woodwind, and Brass ensembles. However, participation in more than a single academic ensemble is

possible and encouraged, provided that there are no schedule conflicts or violation of University policy

concerning student course load.

f. Recital Seminar

Music 307 (Recital Seminar) is required each semester of enrollment as a major in the Program.

Also, attendance is required for all Music majors at student or faculty recitals, band, choir, chamber

ensemble concerts, and Lyceum programs that involve musical performance. A systematic method of

checking and recording attendance will be used. The grade will be determined by attendance and specific

requirements and rules will be set forth in the syllabus for this class.

14

g. Instruments, Music and Practice Facilities

Several studios are provided as practice facilities for students in the Frazier and Dudley Buildings.

The hours of availability will be determined by the Music Director and University Police. Each studio

contains a piano which is tuned regularly and repaired. These areas are reserved for Music Majors only,

and each person using the practice space assumes the responsibility for the maintenance of the instrument

provided. Those persons’ desiring the use of the studio must consult with the program director and follow

guidelines set forth by the University Events Center for scheduling the use of any facility on campus.

With the exception of piano students, all music majors are required to furnish an instrument for

personal use in performance classes. University-owned instruments are primarily intended for the use of

non-major students and ensemble members to complete the necessary instrumentation as needed. A limited

number of University-owned instruments will be provided for the instruction of music majors involved in

music education classes. All Music majors must purchase their music. Photocopies are not allowed.

CURRICULUM INVENTORY

The following pages contain the Curricula Inventories for the three degree programs offered in the

Music Program. For the convenience of the user, these programs are presented in two formats. The

program is presented in outline format of courses required, by year and by semester. These inventories are

APPENDIX A

PROCEDURES FOR JURY EXAMINATION

The purposes of the Applied Music Jury Examination Are:

(1) To serve as a final examination for each semester of study on the principal instrument.

(2) To safeguard the integrity of the teacher and the interests of the student due to the

highly subjective nature of the evaluation process.

(3) To ensure that a satisfactory standard of performance is maintained.

(4) To provide data that will aid in the counseling and guidance of students who have

academic problems in the study of music.

Such examinations are given individually to each student either during or immediately prior to the official

period established for final examinations. The entire faculty of the music program will sit as the jury for

each student. Evaluations are made on a standardized rating sheet designed for each medium of

performance. A record of each examination to which a student is subjected will be placed on file in his

departmental folder.

The jury will be concerned with the knowledge understanding, and general musicianship indicated in the

teaching outlines for each course level. Evaluations are made on each student’s performance of

representative literature that he has studied during the current semester which exhibits his satisfaction of

the objectives sought at that course level. The selection of literature is critical since the performance of

isolation of scales, arpeggios, ornaments, technical exercises, etc. is not a creditable basis for evaluation ad

thereby unsuitable for examination materials.

The result of the jury examination will be weighted as one-fourth of the final grade. The remaining

components of the final grade which are the recital performance and the weekly performance during lessons

will be weighted at one-fourth and one-half respectively. Each member of the faculty will tabulate the final

grade for his/her applied music students.

I. BEFORE THE EXAMINATION:

A. Consult with your applied teacher to determine exactly what literature you will be

expected to perform.

B. Prepare your performance literature well in advance so that nervousness and tension

are minimized.

C. Make Four (4) copies each of your performance literature to be given to the Faculty

panel of jurors on the day and at the time of your examination. These copies will be

returned to your applied teacher. The process of copying music is the responsibility of the

individual student, not the teacher or the Music Program. Students who report to the jury

late or without the appropriate copies will not be examined.

D. Prepare a brief sketch of the composer(s) of your performance literature and include:

DMA in Percussion Performance and a Cognate in Percussion Pedagogy

and Music Education, University of North Carolina at Greensboro

31

• Full name of composer;

• dates; period/form and/or style of the composition(s),

• and if composition(s) is/are excerpt(s) of an extended work, identify the work(s).

• This information will be announced in a brief oral statement prior to the actual

presentation.

E. Report to the jury site at least Thirty(30) minutes before time for your examination.

This time should be spent in warming and tuning your instrument and preparing

for the performance.

F. Be flexible, as the actual Exam Times may run plus or minus ten minutes.

II. YOUR JURY EXAMINATION

A. Enter the Examination Room with a positive, professional attitude, ready to

present your absolute best in performance.

B. Announce your performance composition (as described in I. D)

C. Perform as directed.

D. Answer questions from panel (when asked in a brief but concise manner.)

Questions will be directly related to your applied music study and/or your

presented literature.

E. Leave promptly when dismissed.

III. AFTER THE EXAMINATION A. Check with your applied music teacher for a complete review of your

examination. You may also request a listing of music that you will need for the

following semester.

In keeping with university policy, the Music Program seeks to avoid penalizing the promising student for

faulty pre-college preparation due to the lack of opportunity. Upon the recommendation, of the applied

teacher, a student who shows substantial progress and promise, but does not completely satisfy the

objectives for a course level may pass the jury examination and the course with the stipulation that said

student successfully complete an additional semester of applied study at that same level. However, for a

student who is unable to progress in applied music at a normal rate by the end of the sophomore year (fourth

semester), the Program Director will request that the student change to another major discipline wherein a

greater success level may be enjoyed.

32

APPENDIX B

PROCEDURES GOVERNING PRESENTATIONS OFJUNIOR AND

SENIOR RECITALS (MUSI 450, Junior Recital; MUSI 550: Senior Recital and MUSI 593:

Applied Performance Recital)

The following steps represent the only method for the production of a senior recital sanctioned by the Music

Program and its faculty.

I. Time Frames

A. Music for Recitals shall be assigned in a timely manner so that the students

shall have reasonable time for preparation,

B. Recital dates shall be requested of the Program Director at the beginning of

the projected performance semester (no later that two weeks into the affected

semester),

C. At the beginning of the Semester which the recital is to be performed, the

selection of an accompanist must be finalized, and the music provided to the

accompanist(s) for timely preparation.

D. At the point where the Studio Teacher determines that the candidate is well

prepared, that studio teacher will request that the Program Director schedule a

Faculty Jury Hearing. The hearing must occur no less than two week prior to the

scheduled recital date.

II Recital Schedule

A. Scheduling of recitals rests with the Applied Teacher, who will formally

request a recital date and hearing for approval by the Program Director.

B. Recital performances will be scheduled at reasonable times.

C. The assigned date is the date that the student must present the recital.

Rescheduling will only be considered by the Studio Teacher, who will request

permission of the Program Director. Rescheduling will be considered only in the

strongly documented evidence of a serious personal illness, death, or other

unforeseen circumstance.

D. Lack of preparation on the part of the student is not considered as grounds for

rescheduling, and will not be entertained.

III. Recital Locations

A. The following sites on campus are recommended for Senior Recitals. One may go

off campus for presentation of the Senior Recital but this may be done only with

the Program Director’s permission. Some Facilities on campus and off campus

may require that the student bear the responsibility of renting and tuning a piano

for the occasion.

1. Harrison Auditorium - Students should be aware that there may be

last-minute scheduling conflicts in this Hall.

33

2. Student Union Building- Students may use the Stallings Ballroom and the

Exhibition Hall. The piano in these areas are not suitable for recitals and the

student will have to bear the financial responsibility of renting a piano.

3. Frazier Hall Room 122 is highly recommended as it has a grand

piano suitable for a recital performance.

4. The Multi-Purpose room in Dudley Building may be used for recitals when a

suitable piano is available.

5. Greensboro Cultural Arts Center-

200 N. Davie Streen, Greensboro, NC 27401, 336-373-2712

6. Local Churches – Several churches may be available for the use of recitals.

Consult your studio teacher for more details.

IV. RECITAL PROGRAMS

A. Recital programs will be formally printed by the Music Program in the

following prescribed format:

5 1/2”x8 1/2”

Color: Buff

Print: Black

Single Sheet

B. The supervision and selection of format rests with the Director in consultation

with the studio teacher.

V. Recital Attire

Appropriate dress shall be inclusive of tuxedo, or dark blue or black suit with

after-five shirt, bow tie, cummerbund, or for the ladies, evening dress.

Inappropriate dress shall necessarily be considered as grounds for cancellation of

the performance without recourse.

VI. Miscellaneous

A. Any and all other questions concerning the production shall be presented to

the studio teacher who will, when necessary, consult with the Director for

resolution.

B. Outside consultants and other professionals may be involved in the recital

preparation only with the written approval of the studio teacher with the written

concurrence of the Director.
