Mission of the Music Department

The mission of the Music Department is to nurture and challenge students in a Christian

environment helping them to reach their potential as educated musicians to serve and lead in

church, schools, and community.

Our department serves the Carson-Newman University mission by (1) providing professional

degree programs in music, (2) providing a liberal arts degree program in music, and (3)

providing general music education (courses, ensembles, and applied lessons) and performance

opportunities for the university community at large in order to develop musical skills and

knowledge of music for the enrichment of life.

Music Program Curricula

The program curricula of the Music Department provide a musically rich context to support the

education and development of music majors to attain either the professional Bachelor of Music

degree or the liberal arts Bachelor of Arts - Music degree.

1. Music majors seeking the Bachelor of Music degree study to become professional

musicians by developing musical performance skills and cultivating an advancing

knowledge and appreciation of music. This academic and musical foundation equips

graduates to lead as school music teachers or church musicians and/or to pursue graduate

studies in music.

2. Music majors seeking the Bachelor of Arts degree study in order to obtain a diverse liberal

arts education and to develop musical skills that foster their intellectual growth in the

knowledge and appreciation of music.

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this handbook is to acquaint music majors and music minors with the requirements of the various programs in the Department of Music at Carson-Newman University. The college catalog states requirements for all curricula. This handbook has been prepared by the music faculty to explain in greater detail those specific areas in which the music major and music minor has the most questions, needs the most guidance, and benefits from clearly defined objectives and thorough understanding of the progressive steps necessary to achieve these objectives. You may view or print a copy of the handbook from CN online/Edvance 360 in the music community.

ENTRANCE INTO THE MUSIC MAJOR Music majors must declare a primary performance area in voice, piano, organ, strings, or a band instrument. This choice must be validated by an audition, theory placement and interview with Chair of Applied Instruction in that area. Students may be accepted on probation for a limited time until an audition can be prepared (usually the first jury).

FACILITIES

MUSIC BUILDING The two-story complex has 45,704 square feet of floor space especially designed to enhance both teaching and performance. A spacious lobby is the focal point of the central wing. An overpass which transects the lobby serves as a student lounge and study area. Also housed in this wing are studios, classrooms, practice rooms, the music library, and the central office. The choral rehearsal room, seating 100 singers, is located in the south wing, and the band rehearsal hall is located in the north wing. Both rooms are purpose designed with the acoustical needs of each group in mind. The Thomas Recital Hall, seating 250, is located on the west side of the building and houses a 32-rank Reuter teaching and recital organ as well as two Steinway pianos. An electronic center allows multi-track recordings of recital hall performances as well as choral and band rehearsals. MUSIC BUILDING SCHEDULE During the academic year, the music building is open from 7:00 am until midnight, Monday through Friday; 9:00 am to midnight, Saturday; and 12:00 noon until midnight on Sunday. As a general rule, when the school is closed the building is closed. When there are exceptions, hours will be posted. The building will be open for practicing from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon and 1:00 to 3:00 pm on days that the school is closed due to snow. Only the doors that face Russell Street will be open. This will be dependent on a faculty member or a student worker being available to supervise the building. MUSIC OFFICE Students having problems or questions should first check with their advisor or classroom instructors rather than the Administrative Assistant. There are also several bulletin boards: a general one outside the music office and five “special area” boards which will contain information of interest to students. The music office should be used only if these other sources fail to meet the student’s needs.

MUSIC LIBRARY The Music Library of recordings and scores is in Music Building Room 103. Mrs. Julie Wright, Music Librarian, monitors the music library and checks out recordings and scores that may be used in the library, as well as scores that may be checked out of the library. The music department is very proud of the collection of recordings and scores; student care maintains their excellent condition. The music library houses several Macintosh computers as well as video playback equipment. Assignments utilizing this equipment will be required in some courses. The hours of the Music Library are posted by the door. Changes are posted in advance. The library will close for all recitals. Materials may be circulated to students currently registered at Carson-Newman, faculty and staff members and persons granted special privileges. All scores must be checked out and are due as stamped. Two weeks is the normal check out time with one renewal; MEDU scores and books may be checked out for one week with no renewal; vertical file materials may be checked out for two weeks with no renewal. Fines for overdue scores are $.25 a day per score. Payment is to be made when material is returned. No additional material may be checked out until payment is made. Scores are not considered returned until the fine is paid. Students with overdue scores/fines will not be permitted to take their juries until scores have been returned or renewed and all fines have been paid. Reserve recordings and scores may be checked out for use in the library from the circulation desk. One hour is the time limit. With a request from the professor, overnight reserve items may be checked out one hour before closing and are due one-half hour after the library opens the following day (8:00AM). Please note the times. Audio recordings are for use in the library. Sign the check-out card at the circulation desk, and a set of head-phones will be issued. The student ID card, keys (or other identification) will be held until the recording and headphones are returned. The following are for use in the Music Library only: reference scores and books, reserve material, phonodiscs, CDs, video and audio tapes, DVDs. Microforms may be checked out and taken to the main library for viewing and possible printing. The computer used for the library’s electronic catalog is located in the first carrel in the library. Additionally, there are two card catalogs: 1) Scores (shelves)/Vertical File (brown file cabinets)/Reference/Music Education and 2) Phonodiscs which includes video, DVDs and CDs. Octavo scores are in a file cabinet with a separate catalog listing. Each category has listings by composer and by title. The location of each item in the library is indicated by the call number in the upper right hand corner of the catalog card. There are separate catalogs for vocal performers, audio visual materials, sacred solo, sacred piano, and sacred instrumental. Some tabbed divisions show specific composers or subjects in alphabetical order.

Scores are shelved numerically by category: MCHM chamber MORG organ MSPL sacred piano MEDU education MORL orchestral MSSL sacred solo MIL instrumental MPL piano MVL vocal MPOD organ/piano MSIL sacred instrumental MOP opera

Records are shelved numerically by category: A anthologies/misc. EDU education PL piano CHM chamber OL organ VL vocal CL choral ORL orchestral BAND LIBRARY The band library keeps multiple copies of music purchased for use by the instrumental ensembles. These copies may be checked out for use in pertinent classes. CHORAL LIBRARY The choral library keeps multiple copies of music purchased for use by the choral ensembles. These copies may be checked out for use in conducting classes and other appropriate classes. One copy of each item in the choral library is also to be found in the music library. Students needing a single copy should check it out from the music library. ELECTRONIC MUSIC STUDIO The electronic music studio is located in TMC 220. Students of composition and other pertinent courses are allowed to use the studio. A schedule (sign-up sheet) for the electronic studio is posted in the music library. Policies and rules pertaining to the use of the electronic studio are posted in the music library. MUSIC EDUCATION LIBRARY The music education library maintains a collection of instruments like autoharps and rhythm instruments needed in music education classes. These items may be checked out as needed for class use from the music library with permission from Dr. Jeremy Buckner. LOCKER RENTAL Locker rental is available for the convenient storage of books, music, and other small items. Students are encouraged to maintain a locker to avoid loss, misplacement, or damage to personal property. The lockers are equipped with master combination locks and may be rented through the music office for $4.00, $1.00 of which is returned after the locker is vacated at the end of the year.


11

ADVISORS

Each student has a faculty advisor, according to discipline, who is available for program counseling, discussion of career development, and for supplying general information. The Life Directions Center of the college assigns advisors in the Music Department with the aid of Dr. Buckner. The advisor discusses and approves the course of study for the advisee each semester and helps to prepare the class schedule.

CHANGE OF COURSE

A student may add courses during a regular semester for one week from the first day of classes by completing a change of course (drop/add) form or by seeing their advisor. The signature of the advisor is required and the signature of the instructor of the class or classes involved if the class is closed. The request must then be processed by the Registrar’s Office. Other deadlines regarding the changing of class schedules are listed on the Registrar’s Office homepage on-line.

CREDIT REQUIREMENTS

All the Bachelor’s degrees within the department require at least 128 semester hours for

graduation. The requirements are normally completed in eight semesters averaging 16 hours

credit per semester. Students who have to take remedial courses as freshmen often require a

ninth semester to complete graduation requirements. Completing the music education

requirements in eight semesters is the biggest challenge; many students choose to spread this

program over nine semesters, taking four full years for coursework and an extra semester for

student teaching. Further requirements are the last 32 hours in residence; at least 60 hours from

four-year colleges; no more than 32 hours from correspondence, online courses, and credit by

examination; and at least 36 hours from courses numbered 300 or higher (junior/senior level).

Students must have a 2.0 grade point average overall, 2.0 at Carson-Newman College, and 2.0

in the major field (and minor field, if applicable). Teacher education programs require a 2.5

average in all three categories, as well as no grade lower than a C in the major field and

professional education courses.

Transfer credits are readily accepted from regionally accredited institutions. The Registrar

provides transfer students with a listing of transfer credits accepted with the Carson-Newman

equivalent. In cases where the Registrar is unsure of the equivalent, the respective department

may make a determination. At Carson-Newman, courses with a grade of D are accepted for

transfer credit.

DEFINITION OF A CREDIT HOUR

A credit hour is defined as a unit of coursework represented by attainment of educational goals

measured by learning outcomes. In accordance with federal regulation (34 CFR 600.2) one credit

is awarded for a workload

which reasonably approximates 37.5 hours per term. Non-lecture courses, i.e., labs, studios,

performance-based or clinical-based courses, also require a minimum workload of 37.5 hours

per term to receive one semester hour of credit. The University bases credit for internships on

one semester hour of credit for 50 hours of work. Courses offered by alternative methods of

delivery or in accelerated calendars require an equivalent amount of student engagement and

workload to earn one credit hour.

Academic credit is awarded for applied music lessons as follows:

1 credit hour = ½ hour of instruction per week; 6 hours of required practice time per week

2 credit hours = 1 hour of instruction per week; 12 hours of required practice time per week

3 credit hours = 1 hour of instruction per week; 18 hours of required practice time per week

Students also meet collectively with the applied instructor on a regular basis (either weekly or

bi-weekly) for repertoire classes.

Academic credit is awarded for participation in music ensembles as seen below. The distinction

between those that receive .5 credit hour and those that receive 1 credit hour is not based on the

amount of instruction/meeting time per week; rather, the distinction is based on the relative size

of the ensemble (generally, large ensemble = 1 credit; small ensemble = .5 credit), and, more

importantly, the significance of the ensemble in the student’s educational curriculum.

Choral Ensembles: A Cappella Choir (1); Men’s Chorus (1); Women Singers (1); Lyric Theatre

(1); Contemporary Christian Ensemble “Redemption” (.5).

Instrumental Ensembles: Marching Band (1); Symphonic Winds (1); Orchestra (1); Wind

Ensemble (.5); Jazz Ensemble (.5); Handbell Ensemble (.5); Piano Ensemble (.5); Instrumental

Chamber Ensemble (.5).

CLASS ATTENDANCE

* Why should I attend classes regularly? There are many reasons, but some of the best ones are: 1. To learn the material. 2. To get the most out of your education and the large investment of time and

money you are putting towards school. 3. Out of respect for your fellow students and your teachers. When you miss a


13

class it does affect more than just you. Your teachers carefully plan out what they will teach, and bad attendance is not only demoralizing to them and the other students, it creates a very difficult teaching situation. ATTENDANCE POLICY 1. Students are expected to attend every class meeting of all their classes. 2. Each faculty member sets his or her absence policy for their classes. 3. Absences will be "unapproved" unless the student has reasonable grounds for missing class and notifies the instructor in a timely manner. Examples of "approved" absences are: serious illness, family emergency, Carson-Newman sponsored trips, etc. Instructors may require "proof" showing that the student has a legitimate reason for having missed. 4. After missing the number of allowable "unapproved" absences, the student's grade could be lowered. 5. Three tardies will count as an absence. If you are not in your seat when class begins, the teacher may mark you as tardy. Being late to class is disruptive and impolite.

PRIVATE LESSONS Assignments of new students to their applied music teachers are made by the Music Faculty in the student’s area of study. Students may request to study with a particular faculty member and every effort will be made to satisfy those requests. For a variety of reasons, once teacher assignments have been made for a given year, it is unlikely that changes can be made during that academic year. There is a much greater possibility of change between academic years. Instruction is available in piano, organ, voice, some stringed instruments, wind, percussion and brass instruments. The faculty determines the method of study for each student and the department chairman assigns students to teachers. Credit is awarded as follows: One 30-minute lesson per week - 1 hour credit Two 30-minute lessons or one hour lesson per week - 2 or 3 hours credit Lessons are scheduled by private teachers at the end of the preceding semester or the beginning of the new semester. Students should give their applied teachers a copy of their class schedule in order to facilitate the scheduling of lessons. Applied teachers will attempt to post final lesson time assignments on the afternoon before the first day of classes. If that is not possible, it will be done as soon as possible. Make-up lessons will be granted for illness if the teacher is notified prior to the lesson. Lessons changed for other reasons must be approved by the teacher and arranged prior to the lesson time. Lessons missed because of tours and field trips are not made up. Students will receive an automatic “F” for any lessons missed without prior notice to the teacher. Exceptions to this policy can be made only in the most extenuating of circumstances.


14

Applied music finals are given by a faculty jury at the end of each semester. It is assumed that all students will remain with the same applied instructor throughout their study at CNU. The rare student-initiated change should begin with a discussion with the private instructor or the chair of the Music Department. The chair, the private instructor, and perhaps the area coordinator will discuss the issues involved with “What is best for the student” as the primary criteria for decision making. A change may be made at that point. The student may state a preference for a specific instructor. However, the final decision about placement will be made by the chair of the department. PRACTICE Practice rooms and times are reserved during a sign-up period at the beginning of each semester. Six hours of practice are required per week for each semester hour of credit in private study. Students in class piano and class voice are required to practice six hours per week. Organ students will be issued a key to organ practice rooms (TMC 203, 205, and 207), and organ emphasis students will be allowed to sign up for a limited amount of practice time on the organ in the recital hall. Piano emphasis students will be issued a key to grand piano practice rooms (TMC 229, 235, 240, and 246). There is a $5.00 fee required for keys, $1.00 of which is refunded when the key is returned at the end of the year. USE OF THOMAS RECITAL HALL

Practicing in the recital hall is restricted. Students are allowed thirty minutes of practice the

week of a Friday afternoon recital, and the week of a senior or junior recital piano majors are

allowed four hours of practice; other majors are allowed two hours. Students may reserve the

recital hall through the Music Department Administrative Assistant. Organ majors are allowed

to practice on the recital hall organ on a regular basis. In the case of TRH practice times that

conflict with tunings, the tuner’s needs will prevail. The Music Office will try to avoid

conflicts, but that may not always be possible. REPERTOIRE CLASSES As a part of performance preparation, applied music students are required to attend and perform in "repertoire class." Most applied teachers or areas hold repertoire classes on alternating weeks at 2:00 on Friday. Some teachers hold classes at an alternative time. Students should check with their individual teachers for the exact dates and location of their repertoire class.

RECITAL ATTENDANCE

Music majors are required to attend 18 recitals/concerts presented by the music department

each fall and spring. Non-music majors are required to attend five recitals. There will be no

make-up recitals. All students in applied courses can expect a lowered letter grade if the student

does not attend 18 recitals or concerts except for those in class voice and class piano. Non-majors


15

enrolled in class piano or class voice are encouraged, but not required, to attend recitals. Non-traditional students may see Dr. Buckner to discuss conflicts with this requirement. Each semester students will be given a recital attendance number. A complete listing of all students and their numbers will be posted on the door to Thomas Recital Hall shortly after the last day to add a class. Since these numbers change from semester to semester, students should check for their new number at the start of each semester. It is the student’s responsibility to give their number to the workers taking attendance at the recital. Lists summarizing recital attendance will be posted periodically throughout the semester. RECITAL ATTENDANCE FOR NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS The requirement for the traditional student is very clear cut. For the non-traditional student it is a bit more subjective. Exactly who fits into each category is to be decided by the Chair of the Music Department. The guideline is that the non-traditional student will show a “good faith” effort to meet the normal requirement. The non-traditional student will speak to the chair of the department before the close of registration of the semester regarding possible difficulties in meeting the requirement. (The department stands by the recital attendance requirement in that there are numerous educational benefits that come to students who regularly attend performances.) The non-traditional student is to keep precise records as to the reasons for missing each recital opportunity. Legitimate reasons may include an on-going work commitment. However, students who have some or full control of their own schedule like private studio teaching and food service preparation, are expected to alter their schedule such that recital attendance is a possibility. A considerable driving distance on a day when the student has no classes on campus is an acceptable reason. There are other acceptable excuses, all of which must be approved by the Chair of the Music Department. The student's records are due to be presented to the Chair of Music Department one week prior to the beginning of juries. If there are still recitals available, the non-traditional student may speculate in advance on their ability to attend those events and explain any possible absences. The acceptability of an excuse is to be left to the judgment of the Chair of the Music Department. WEEKLY STUDENT RECITALS Student recitals are held on most Fridays at 3:00 in Thomas Recital Hall. Music students are required to appear in a student recital once each semester, or as scheduled by their applied teachers. The teacher or student will fill out a “Student Recital Program” form which must be turned in to the office by noon on the Wednesday prior to a Friday performance. A recording is made of each performance and will be available for listening in the music library the week following the performance.

THE STAFF ACCOMPANISTS


16

The staff accompanists are available to singers and instrumentalists currently taking applied lessons in those areas at Carson-Newman University providing there is room in the accompanying load. Arrangements to engage the services of a staff accompanist are made through the applied teacher and Dr. Angela Holder. Students may not make individual arrangements with a staff accompanist without permission from Dr. Angela Holder. The staff accompanist may accompany a student, providing there is room in the load, if: 1) the student has requested a staff accompanist through Dr. Angela Holder 2) the student has registered for the appropriate staff accompanist section 3) the student has met the responsibilities listed in the student contract form

GRADING FOR APPLIED LESSONS - “WHAT IS AN A, B, C, D, LESSON?”

An “A” Lesson (excellent) On time and ready Has music, pencil Is prepared: Knows pitches rhythm, tempo, accompaniment, style Performance is musical Phrasing has been carefully worked out and dynamic markings observed Interpretation of textual, musical and stylistic elements is evident Corrections from previous lessons are made Music is memorized as assigned Has practiced sufficiently, independently (and with accompanist) Is becoming an independent learner Corrections of problems are progressing An “A” lesson is not necessarily flawless; there is no such thing. However, the performer must be able to communicate the music effectively. A “B” Lesson (good) Has most of the characteristics of an “A” lesson, but: may not be completely prepared on the musical, interpretive, and stylistic elements; evidence of practice is obvious but some details still require work. A “B” lesson is a good lesson, but it leaves the impression that the student could have done more in preparation. A “C” Lesson (average) Comes to the lesson still less prepared. Some music is missing. Has not practiced sufficiently (with accompanist). Mistakes from previous lesson(s) have not been corrected. Lack of preparation on the elementals is obvious. A “D” Lesson (below average) Evidence of insufficient practice is abundant Is late to lesson Assignments are incomplete


17

Many mistakes in pitch, rhythm, ensemble Lack of practice with accompanist An “F” Lesson (failure) Absent without adequate reason Several minutes late Little practice since last lesson Repeats mistakes from previous lesson(s) Accompanist has not been informed of lesson

ATTENDING MUSIC CONCERTS AND RECITALS OF ART MUSIC

Many students have not attended a concert or recital (these are often used interchangeably) of art music and therefore feel uncomfortable in venturing into new territory. Audience behavior at rock and contemporary Christian music concerts is different from behavior at concerts of art music. These suggestions are offered to make attending such programs more enjoyable. Preparing. You may be able to find out what works will be performed. The music library (TMC 103) has a large collection of works frequently performed. Listening to a recording and reading the blurb notes is a great help. Music encyclopedias are helpful and easy to follow. It might also be useful to speak with a faculty member. What to wear. The strictest traditions of dress exist no longer. For evening recitals, church attire is appropriate. Baseball caps and sports clothes are out of place in any recital. Arriving. Plan to arrive at least fifteen minutes before beginning time. You will sometimes have a program with program notes which help to explain the performance. For vocal music, there is usually a translation of songs sung in a foreign language, and English texts are often listed as well. Reading these ahead of time gives a good insight into the performance. You will also have time to locate your seat if it is reserved. Distractions. There should be no distractions. Think of sound as if it is being written on a blackboard of silence. Talking, coughing, or moving makes smudges of the sound for everyone else. There are usually rules against photography (even with no flash), recording devices (due to copyright laws), cell phones - text messaging (a distraction to the performer on stage) and beepers. Applauding. Generally the audience applauds after a set or a group of pieces. For instance, applaud at the completion of a symphony, concerto, or sonata even if there are several movements. Songs are usually sung three or four to a set. Only in opera does the audience interrupt the drama to applaud a special solo. The safe way is to wait until the experienced concert goers begin and then join with them.


18

Intermission. At longer and more formal concerts, there is often an intermission. Only here and at the end is it appropriate to leave your seat. At some concert halls, beverages are available, and the occasion is fine for observing fashionable dress and chatting with friends about the performance. In some areas, intermissions are longer and snack food may be available. Souvenirs of the performance or of the performance venue are often sold. The performers. The performers also are aware of avoiding distractions. Therefore they usually wear dark formal clothes without jewelry or loud colors. Their demeanor is also stylized with entering the stage, bowing, acknowledging applause, responding by playing or singing an encore, and the like. Many performers memorize the music which allows them to concentrate on the moment of presentation. Reporting. If you are required to write a report, jot down some notes on the program to remind you about outstanding events. Remember concerts are presenting the distilled works of the greatest minds of civilization. The more you know about what you are hearing, and the more you put forth an effort, the finer your enjoyment will be.

PERFORMERS’ CONTESTS Performer’s contests will be held at the beginning of each spring semester for students of the music department. Entrance into the contest is limited to juniors and seniors and is at the discretion of the applied instructor. Students will compete as a vocalist, instrumentalist, or keyboardist; the winners from each of the categories will perform on the Honors Recital at the end of the spring semester. The suggested length of each piece is 5 minutes; the maximum is 9 minutes.

ENSEMBLES Bachelor of Music majors must participate in a large ensemble each semester of enrollment. In addition, music education majors with an emphasis in band/orchestra must also participate in a small ensemble. Students who receive departmental scholarships are required to participate in an ensemble and to enroll for private lessons regardless of their degree requirements. The student and his/her advisor will select ensemble(s) which seem best suited to the student’s needs. Please note, voice majors are not allowed to participate in more than two vocal ensembles. LARGE ENSEMBLES SMALL and MEDIUM ENSEMBLES

A Cappella Choir Redemption Men’s Chorus Jazz Ensemble Women Singers Flute Ensemble Lyric Theatre Wind Ensemble Marching Band Brass Ensemble Symphonic Band Woodwind Ensemble Opera Workshop Percussion Ensemble Handbell Ensemble (when available) The large ensembles provide one-hour credit per semester; the small ensembles are one-half hour credit.

LIAISON COMMITTEE

In order to ensure that there is a level of communication between the students and the faculty,

a Student-Faculty Liaison Committee is elected at the beginning of each year. The student

members, one representing each class, meet on occasion with the Music Department Chair.

Students should contact a member of the committee about any matter which needs the attention

of students and faculty members.

ORGANIZATIONS

Student professional organizations in the music department include Delta Omicron

International Music Fraternity, Music Educators National Conference and Carson-Newman

Music Teachers Association. Pi Kappa Lambda is the honor society for faculty members and

elected upper class music majors. Students are encouraged to join these organizations if they

are interested and qualified.

MISCELLANEOUS

1. Windows in the music building must stay closed. The changes in temperature and humidity

caused by open windows are damaging to the instruments kept in the building.

2. Classroom pianos and the choir room instruments are off-limits for practicing.

3. Practicing in the band room is allowed (with preference given to percussion majors). Students

interested in practicing in the band room should contact Mrs. Bivens to make arrangements.

4. Practicing in the recital hall is restricted. Students are allowed thirty minutes of practice the



recital hall through the administrative assistant. The schedule of the piano tuner may dictate

that the location of rehearsals and lessons normally in TRH be relocated. Organ majors are

allowed to practice on the recital hall organ on a regular basis.


20

KEYBOARD PROFICIENCY

All music majors in any Bachelor of Music program must pass a piano proficiency exam given

as a part of the final exam in Class Piano 204 and 205. All keyboard majors must include Class

Piano 205 as part of their applied studies. Students who do not pass all areas of the exam on the

first attempt must enroll in Class Piano 206 until the remainder of the exam is passed. Students

enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts program are encouraged to develop keyboard proficiency, but

they are not required to pass the exam. All Bachelor of Music students must complete the

piano proficiency requirements two semesters prior to student teaching (Music Education

majors only) or graduation (all other BM students). To encourage prompt completion of these

requirements, all Bachelor of Music students must pass all portions of the piano proficiency

examination before they are allowed to schedule a senior recital and for music education

students before the Music Faculty will support their request for student teaching.

UPPER DIVISION & SOPHOMORE/SECOND YEAR REVIEW Each Bachelor of Music or Bachelor of Arts in Music student desiring to give a recital must audition for upper division standing after four semesters of applied study. This is normally accomplished in regular juries and must be accompanied by the “Upper Division Standing Report” form. (See following pages.) After passing the audition the student is allowed to register for applied music at the 300 level and to begin preparation for a junior or senior recital. The student must have completed one semester of upper division applied study before giving a senior recital. A Sophomore/Second Year Review is also required before a student enters into upper level study. A sample form for the review follows. Forms for student use may be found in the Music Office and on the music community section of CN online/Edvance 360. It is intended to aid the student and faculty to assess the candidate’s future possibilities.

JURIES Final exams for applied music courses consist of performing before a faculty committee known as a jury. The teacher’s grade may be raised or lowered by one letter grade if the average grade of the jury warrants it. The student receives a copy of the jury grade and comments of each faculty member. Another copy is placed in the student’s permanent music department file. The student must bring to his/her jury one repertoire sheet listing all materials studied during that semester. This becomes a part of his/her department file. Most teachers require a duplicate copy of this form.


29


30

JUNIOR AND SENIOR RECITALS Performance majors present a half-hour junior recital consisting of approximately twenty-five minutes of music and a one-hour senior recital consisting of approximately fifty minutes of music. Students in other music curricula present a half-hour senior recital consisting of approximately twenty-five minutes of music. Students preparing for recitals must pass a hearing before the faculty committee in their performance area at least two weeks prior to the recital date. “The Recital Guide” will be helpful in preparing for these recitals, and may be obtained from the music office or by accessing CN online/Edvance 360. Complete the required forms as early as possible and return them to the music office. Some forms and actions have specific deadlines. Please be aware of these considerations. The Music Department does not sponsor non-music majors in recital. For additional information on Junior and Senior Recitals see The Recital Guide.

Use of Thomas Recital Hall

Practicing in the recital hall is restricted. Students are allowed thirty minutes of practice the



recital hall through the Music Department Administrative Assistant. Organ majors are allowed

to practice on the recital hall organ on a regular basis. In the case of TRH practice times that

conflict with tunings, the tuner’s needs will prevail. The Music Office will try to avoid

conflicts, but that may not always be possible.


31

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE The purpose of the grievance procedure is to provide an organized plan of action in event of a dispute regarding grades in ensemble, applied music, or other music classes. A student may appeal a grade on the grounds that it is unjust, discriminatory, or not in accordance with established grading policies. The student may contest only the implementation of the policies and not the substance of these policies per se. A student who questions a grade must notify the appropriate instructor. A conference will be held between the student and instructor. A conference record will be written by the instructor, reviewed and signed by both the student and instructor. The record should be based on course objectives and will become a part of the student’s file. If the problem is not rectified at this level, the student should notify the Department Chair and a conference will be held between the Department Chair, the appropriate instructor and the student to facilitate communication. A conference record will be written and signed by the three (3) parties and placed in the student’s file.

If the issue is not resolved at this point, a formal grievance should be filed according to the following guidelines (any cost will be borne by the student):

1. Within ten (10) faculty working days of the meeting with the department chair, the student must submit a written statement to the Chair of the Music Department and the Department Area Heads (keyboard, vocal, etc.) Committee. This statement should include a description of the grievance, the reasons and a proposed solution.

2. When serving as a grievance committee, the Department Area Heads Committee will consist of the faculty area chairs and the Department Chair. If the instructor against whom a grievance is filed is a member of the Department Area Chairs Committee, then an alternate member will be chosen. A third faculty member will be designated by the Department Area Heads Committee.

3. The committee will notify the involved instructor of the charges within three (3) faculty working days of the charge.

4. The Department Chair will notify the Provost that a grievance has been filed and inform them of its nature.

5. Information related to the charges will be requested from both parties in writing prior to the hearing. All information is confidential. 6. A committee meeting will be held within ten (10) faculty working days of the grievance being filed. The instructor and student will be present at the hearing and each will


32

explain his/her own position relative to the grievance. Committee members may only ask questions of the instructor and student to clarify confusing issues.

7. The entire procedure will be recorded.

8. The committee will make a decision based on the evidence presented, which is communicated to the instructor, student, Department Chair and Provost in writing within ten (10) faculty working days of the grievance being heard.

9. The College’s Provost is the next source of appeal and the appeal must be in writing.

The Goals of Music Curricula

Bachelor of Arts in Music Goals. The Bachelor of Arts degree prepares students to be broadly

educated in the liberal arts and to have a rich intellectual grasp of the field of music. Students

often pursue this degree with a second major or a minor in another field.

Bachelor of Music in Piano or Instrumental Performance Goals. In the Bachelor of Music in

Piano or Organ Performance, the goals of this curriculum seek to prepare the student for

graduate study. Students should make continuous advancement in all aspects of solo

performance during the four years, culminating with a full hour senior recital; these aspects

include technical proficiency, sensitivity to historical style, acquaintance with a wide repertoire,

and development of fine details of musical expression. Students should prepare to become

teachers through readings and evaluation of pedagogical materials, observation of teaching, and

supervised teaching of actual pupils. A thorough knowledge of the literature of the instrument

should be developed through reading, score analysis, and listening to recorded music.

Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance Goals. In the Bachelor of Music in Vocal

Performance the goals of this curriculum seek to prepare the student for graduate study.

Students should make continuous advancement in all aspects of solo performance during the

four years, culminating with a full hour senior recital; these aspects include stylistic

interpretation of a wide repertoire of solo song of different historical periods and cultures, good

vocal production and diction, expression, and the acquisition of a technique for continued vocal

development. Students should prepare to become teachers through readings in physical and

psychological aspects of singing, observation of vocal lessons and performances, and supervised

teaching of actual pupils. Acquaintance with the literature for the voice should be developed

through readings, score study, listening, and bibliographic compilations.


33

Bachelor of Music in Music Theory Goals. The Bachelor of Music in Music Theory program

prepares students for graduate study in theory, musicology, music librarianship, and other

areas with an academic rather than performing emphasis. Students in this program are

expected to develop their competence as musical scholars during the four years, as well as to

gain a solid foundation in musicianship through applied study and ensemble participation.

Bachelor of Music in Church Music Goals. The Bachelor of Music in Church Music degree

prepares students to serve in places of leadership and vision in the profession of church

musician. Students in this program should formulate a philosophy of music. They should know

something of the history of congregational song as well as its role in worship, and should

develop skills as a worship leader. They should know how to organize and administer a church

music ministry and be familiar with the literature and organizations that can assist them in the

profession. Students should be introduced to writing hymn texts and hymn tunes. They should

become competent in teaching music to children and youth, which includes knowledge of

literature, concepts, teaching methods, and teaching aids. They should develop conducting

skills in both choral and instrumental areas, which includes rehearsal planning and knowledge

of vocal and instrumental techniques. Students should become competent in functional piano.

They should achieve the ability to perform in their principal instrument or voice.

Bachelor of Music in Music Education Goals. The Bachelor of Music in Music Education

prepares students to teach music in public schools or to pursue graduate study in Music

Education. Licensure for grades K-12 may be obtained in vocal/general music or band/orchestra

or both. Requirements for this degree are closely regulated by the State of Tennessee.

Bachelor of Music with an Outside Field Goals. The BM with an Outside Field is designed

to provide students with intensive studies in music and the opportunity to also focus on

developing a more general competence in a second discipline. Students are allowed to select

their outside field from any in which the college offers a minor or request special consideration

for approval of a selected set of carefully selected courses. The music requirements include a

senior recital and a considerable number of music electives. Of the music electives 12 hours

must be upper level credit. These can be chosen from the variety of 300 and 400 level courses

that are offered by the unit.

Minor in Music. The Minor in Music allows students to continue their musical interest while

pursuing a different major field of study. For students wishing to minor in music, they should

contact the Chair of the Department and interview with the area head in their performance

discipline of choice. Minors in music must complete the following courses: MUS 111, MUS 112,

MUS 135, MUS 136, Applied Music – 4 hours, and Music Electives – 6 hours.
