Student Degree Recitals
Recitals. Several degree programs have a public-performance requirement, either one or more recitals or some other related means of assessing that the performance component of the educational experience has been met.
- Bachelor of Music. Bachelor of Music majors present a half recital (typically 30 minutes) in the junior year and a full recital (typically 60 minutes) in the senior year. Specific requirements are set by the faculty in the particular performance area. Each solo recital is preceded by a recital hearing, where the student's readiness for public presentation is verified by the faculty.
- Bachelor of Music Education. Bachelor of Music Education students are required to present a full recital hearing, typically in the senior year. With the permission of the applied music instructor, students may opt to give a senior recital.
- Bachelor of Music Therapy, Bachelor of Arts/Sciences. Students in these programs are expected to perform publicly in general student recitals and the like. Readiness to perform is determined by the major teacher.
- Optional recitals. Any students may request permission to present additional, non-degree recitals. Priority for scheduling dates, however, goes to degree recitals. Approval for non-degree recitals must be secured from the major teacher or other appropriate applied faculty.
