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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
