However, rooms may be used by other students if arrangements for such have been made through the Office of the Chair, School of Performing & Visual Arts – Music Department. It is not mandatory that all practice be accomplished on school-owned instruments; however, if satisfactory progress is not made, the applied teacher may require that the student perform the necessary practice on campus, under supervision.
• Arrangements for use of or practice upon the Steinway pianos located in the Dover Theatre,
Dover Chapel, and Blanton Auditorium must be made through the Piano Committee of the Music Department. Use of or practice upon the Reuter pipe organs in Dover Chapel must be authorized by the GWU organ instructor. Arrange for the facility through the Campus Minister’s Office. Any special needs such as chairs, risers, shells, and house cleaning must be requested at his/her own expense through the Physical Plant by completing a "Special Functions" form available in the Music Office. Technical needs in Dover Theatre, such as setup and lighting must be arranged through the Technical Director, Dover Theatre. Sound amplification and recording needs for Blanton Auditorium must be arranged through the university Sound Technician Office and scheduled through the Physical Plant.
• Practice Room 7 was called “ Seven’s Heaven” and was a recording studio with Smart Music, over 55, 000 etudes and exercises and over 22,000 accompaniments. For 2009-2011, it is the new student lounge (see policy on last page of handbook) and 7th Heaven has been moved to studio 150.

Students not using instruments in a performing ensemble will be charged a $25.00 rental fee per semester.
Guitar Loans: A limited number of acoustic guitars may be checked out by students enrolled in either
applied guitar or guitar class and authorized by the guitar-applied instructor on a per semester basis. A user fee of $25.00 is required (payable to Gardner-Webb University) and is utilized for string replacement and periodic repair and replacement.
A "Guitar Checkout Policy and Form," available in the Music Office, must be completed by students enrolled in guitar class or applied guitar. The student assumes responsibility for the safe return of the guitar by signing the rental agreement. The student agrees to return the guitar or he/she will compensate Gardner-Webb University for the replacement cost of the guitar in case of theft, loss, or extreme damage or the repair expenses, whichever is less. The agreement is canceled with the return of the guitar by signed acceptance of the instructor or the music office staff.
INSTRUMENT STORAGE ROOM AND POLICY
The Instrument Storage Room is complete with Wenger instrument lockers for student and
school instrument storage. Student instrumental storage lockers may be reserved for use by music students by making arrangements with the Department Administrative assistant.

MUSIC SCHOLARSHIPS
The School of Performing & Visual Art through its Music Department offers Music Scholarship grants to outstanding music major students who have demonstrated academic and musical accomplishment. These scholarships are awarded and renewed by audition under specified conditions for a maximum of nine semesters for Music Education majors and eight semesters for other full-time music majors; though double majors can hold them longer. Music scholarships for freshmen or transfer music major students are awarded as the result of scheduled Music Scholarship Auditions held in the Fall and Spring semesters. If necessary, auditions may be arranged by the Chair of the Music Department or a full-time music faculty member on behalf of the Department. All students are required to complete a "Music Scholarship Application" form and comply with the requested information. Music Scholarship Applications are available online at: www.gardner-webb.edu/finearts/scholarship.htm
Stipulations: The scholarship recipient must enroll as a full-time (minimum of 12 credit
hours each semester, fall and spring) music major including enrollment in the appropriate applied concentration in which the audition was performed and music theory and music history sequence required of their degree track. * Students must declare their music major through the Advising
17
17
Center before his/her first semester as a music scholarship student. The student also must have submitted three letters of recommendation as stipulated in the scholarship application form. The transfer music student must have maintained a 3.0 GPA in all college-level music courses and a 2.8 in all college-level courses. Specified audition requirements are listed on the Renewal Music Scholarship Application form.
Current music students holding a music scholarship must apply and audition to renew their scholarship in the spring semester and enroll as a full-time (minimum of 12 credit hours each semester) music major, including enrollment in the appropriate applied concentration in which the audition was performed. They must also be enrolled in the appropriate course sequences for a music major in their respective degree tracts. A one-page "Music Major Scholarship Application Renewal/New" form is available in the Music Office. • The required selections are stipulated according to applied area requirements for the current
year of applied study. Current scholarship students must perform the audition to the satisfaction of the attending faculty in order to renew the music scholarship for the next academic year. The music scholarship student must also have maintained a 3.00 GPA in all college-level music courses and a 2.80 GPA in all college-level courses.
Failure to maintain the minimum GPA or failure to renew the scholarship by a spring audition will cancel the use of the music scholarship. • Additionally, all music scholarship students MUST enroll in up to 2 ensembles, based on
needs of the department, as determined by music faculty.
WORK STUDY The financial aid program of the university is administered by the Office of Financial Planning. Students may apply for Work Study through the Office of Financial Planning and be assigned to work up to ten hours per week at minimum wage. Students assigned to faculty members within the School of Performing & Visual Arts – Music Department for Work Study should be aware of the expectations of this assignment. If a faculty member desires a particular student to work for him/her, the faculty member must request in writing via the "Work Study Job Description/Request Form" the specific student for the desired number of hours. The student worker may be utilized only the number of hours authorized by the Financial Planning Office.
All students working in the various offices must arrange their work schedules as soon as
possible in the semester. The accuracy of the work report is the responsibility of the student and the supervising faculty member. A Work Study student may not begin work before the student’s "Work Study Authorization Card" is received in the School of Performing & Visual Arts – Music Department Office. The Chair of the Music Department is the overall supervisor of the student work program for the department.
ENTRANCE AUDITIONS
Students wishing to major in music must pass an entrance audition in their desired applied
18
18
concentration for admission into the music program. Scholarship recipients are automatically accepted into the program. Other students must pass an authorized, individual audition prior to or at the beginning semester of enrollment or an audition during the jury at the end of the first semester of study in the primary concentration. See Jury Exam requirements.
MUSIC THEORY PLACEMENT EXAMINATION
A music theory placement test, which is monitored by a music faculty member, must be
taken by each freshman or transfer music major student prior to his/her registration and be evaluated prior to the first week of classes.
REGISTRATION
Orientation, which includes informal information exchange, registration, and placement
testing, is required of all students entering the fall semester of classes. Incoming freshmen
students, following acceptance to the University and payment of deposit, are sent a Pre-Registration sheet containing a basic music course curriculum in accordance with the student’s major. The sheet is to be completed and returned by mail to the Registrar’s Office. Following the music theory placement test, the freshman student completes the formal fall Registration. New, resident, and
transfer students are registered and oriented on the weekend prior to the first week of classes. Commuting transfer students are registered by music advisors on the Monday prior to the first class.
New students (including transfer students) entering during the spring semester must make an appointment with the Chair of the School of Performing & Visual Arts – Music Department for assistance in registering for spring classes and music theory placement testing
Freshman and transfer students will be assigned a music advisor during their first semester of
study. Freshman students will be advised by their music faculty advisor not the University 101 advisor.
Freshman pre-registration for the spring usually occurs following mid-term exams of the Fall semester. The freshman music major must make an appointment with his/her music faculty advisor. The student must meet with the University 101 advisor, but the University 101 advisor is not responsible for advising. The student will pre-register online after meeting with the music advisor. All music majors’ folders are to remain in the music office. Remember, all music majors must be advised by their fulltime music faculty advisor only.
Freshman pre-registration for the sophomore year, fall semester, usually occurs
following mid-term exams of the spring semester at which time students will be registered by their assigned music advisors. Freshmen students are required to schedule an appointment with their music advisor during the assigned advising time. Failure to do so will possibly result in ill-advisement adding additional semesters to the student’s academic career at GWU.
Spring pre-registration for first-time transfer students usually occurs following mid-term exams of the fall semester. Each student must schedule an appointment with the assigned music advisor during the appropriate advising time. Music advisors are assigned by the Chair of the School
19
19
of Performing & Visual Arts – Music Department.
Currently enrolled upper-class students follow procedures for pre-registration as determined by the administration of the university. The student must schedule an appointment with his/her music advisor each semester and pre-register on-line.
It is necessary for all students to adhere to these guidelines and complete the necessary forms as provided by the appropriate administrative office. A file folder containing a "Curriculum Outline" of the student's Major is provided by the Music Department along with materials sent from the Admissions and Registrar's Office and other pertinent information. This folder is on file in the Music Office. The student is strongly advised to maintain their own, personal “Curriculum Outline” in addition to the curriculum outline that the advisor maintains in the students file folder. The folder is available to the student and faculty advisor at any time.
• "The student bears the final responsibility for the selection of a program of study and
adherence to all published regulations and requirements of the University, including the
requirements for graduation". See the current Undergraduate Catalog.
A copy of each of the "Curriculum Outlines" is available in the office of the School of
Performing & Visual Arts – Music Department.
ADVISING FORM See "CURRICULUM OUTLINES." Each student should have a copy of the curriculum outline and semester-by-semester progression sheet for his/her major.
MUSIC MINOR
A minor in Music requires 18 semester hours including Music 105, 106; 4 semesters of a
performing organization (4 hours); and 6 hours of applied music (jury required and four hours of applied music must be in the same area) and/or conducting. Recital attendance is required (! of the number of recitals required for music majors) during the semester in which applied music credit is being earned toward the minor.
The student must also maintain an overall 2.00 GPA on all work counted toward the minor. A transfer student must complete at least 9 hours of the required minor at GWU.
SUMMER SCHOOL
Students desiring to enroll in summer school classes should register during the "pre-registration" process in the spring semester with his/her music advisor. Music courses for music majors are usually limited to applied music lessons, which may only be scheduled for a 10-week (Summer Sessions I and II) period of time.
Registration for applied lessons taken over the 10 weeks of summer school may only be
made at the time of the Summer School I registration. Credit hours for applied music lessons
20
20
may only be 1 or 2 hours credit during the 10-week summer session.
CONCENTRATION: PRIMARY AND SECONDARY APPLIED
The instrument/voice in which the student is primarily concentrating is referred to as the Primary Applied Concentration. In addition to the primary concentration, a music major must complete a certain number of hours in any one or combination of secondary applied concentration(s), i.e. required applied instrument/voice other than the primary concentration. Students should consult the University catalogue for the secondary applied concentration requirements of a specific major. Piano is the most common secondary applied concentration due to the Piano Proficiency Exam requirement. Enrollment in applied piano (excluding summer) is required until the proficiency is completed.
The Music Education, Church Music, Music Composition and Music (Liberal Arts)
Majors require a minimum of 12 semester hours in the Primary Applied Concentration including a minimum of six hours of study beyond the semester in which the Sophomore Screening is successfully passed.
**Music Performance requires a minimum of 18 hours of applied study in the primary
applied concentration with a minimum of 12 hours study beyond the semester in which the Sophomore Screening is successfully passed.
All full-time music majors must enroll in their Primary Applied Concentration each
semester until the degree requirements for the concentration, including the senior recital, are
fulfilled. Any exception must be approved by the appropriate applied faculty and the
Department Chair.
DECLARATION OF PRIMARY APPLIED CONCENTRATION:
Each music major or music minor, upon the first semester of applied music study, must declare a "Primary Applied Concentration."
To declare the primary and secondary concentration the student should complete the appropriate "Music Major Declaration Form" or "Music Minor Declaration Form" (available in the music office). The student must study the appropriate instrument/voice, which is his/her primary concentration, and, if required, the secondary concentration, for the number of credit hours listed in that curriculum.
If a student desires to enroll for three-hours of applied study, the student must:
(1) consult with and receive verbal approval from his/her applied teacher in the semester
prior to the desired additional study (2) submit a written request to the coordinator of the area of applied study. The applied Jury
faculty will then vote to approve of the request at the Jury prior to the semester of desired study. No exceptions.
21
21
APPLIED LESSONS: OUTSIDE OF UNIVERSITY
Students enrolled as music majors must take their primary and secondary applied hours with
Gardner-Webb faculty. In the case of transfer students, applied credits will be evaluated by the Registrar's Office member charged with this responsibility in consultation with the chair of the music
department.
PERFORMANCE GROUP REQUIREMENTS
Each music major and music minor must meet curriculum requirements by enrolling and
satisfactorily participating in an appropriate performance group(s), (see below), which is determined by his/her primary concentration. Full-time music majors, including transfer students (prior and present), must enroll each fall and spring semester (with exception of a music education major’s student teaching semester). Music minors must enroll for a minimum of four semesters. A minimum of four semesters of satisfactory participation in a performing group is required for part-time students. A student who requires more than eight semesters to complete a program may make a written request to the Chair of the School of Performing & Visual Arts – Music Department for exemption from participation in a performance group after ten hours of performance organization credit have been acquired. Additionally, students who are on music scholarships have the following requirement: Music scholarship mandates that the student be in ensembles as assigned and determined by the music faculty based on ensemble needs. The required ensembles will not exceed two in any given semester, and if fact, may only be one ensemble. All students have the option to be in any ensemble without registering for credit. Additionally, the student may opt to be in any ensemble above the one or ones required. Students must enroll in a major performance group according to their concentration with the exception of Church Music, which requires four hours of a major vocal performing ensemble and four hours in a major performing ensemble according to concentration. All music majors must complete a minimum of one hour in a chamber ensemble. Marching Band and Pep Band are not considered chamber ensembles. Appropriate Major Performance Group organizations that meet curriculum requirements:
Vocal: Chorale, Concert Choir, and Opera Theatre Instrumental: Orchestra, Symphonic Band Keyboard: Either of the Vocal or Instrumental Performance Groups listed above Guitar: Either of the Vocal or Instrumental Performance Groups listed above All Gardner-Webb students (music majors and non majors) are encouraged to participate and
enroll in additional Chamber Performance Groups (director approval required) offered for credit by the School of Performing & Visual Arts – Music Department. These include: Vocal, Woodwind, Brass, String, Percussion, Keyboard, Jazz, and Handbell Ensembles. Course offerings in the chamber ensembles are dictated by enrollment and student desire.
22
22
The marching band serves to provide and encourage university and community school spirit at athletic events during the fall semester. It carries a $1,000.00 tuition remission, granting $500.00 in fall semester and $500.00 for the spring semester, once marching band has been successfully completed in the fall. In the spring the pep band services the athletic events and each band member gets a $16.00 payment, given once a month in a check, for each game played.
Descriptions of the Performance Groups and Ensembles offered for credit are found in the music office and in the current University Catalog.
Music students are encouraged to participate in more than one performance group at a time and are free to choose a performing group outside the area of specialization as a second group.
STUDIO RECITALS
Each applied music student is required to attend a minimum of two studio recitals
scheduled by the applied music teachers during each semester. Such recitals provide opportunities for students to perform in a setting apart from private lessons and public recitals. The purpose of the studio recital is to hear all of the students of that studio perform in a non-threatening environment and learn from one another. Studio teachers may also use these occasions to discuss performance deportment and other performance related topics.
It is expected that the recitals provide a vehicle to enhance the student's music and stage presentation skills. It is desirable that these studio recitals experiences should be scheduled in the semester after a period of time in which the student has had sufficient time to prepare appropriate selections. The manner, content, and number of appearances by students beyond two will be at the discretion of the teacher. Additional recitals may be scheduled by the teacher when appropriate. Attendance at these recitals is open to other students with the permission of the professor.
DEPARTMENTAL RECITALS
Departmental Recitals are held on a regular basis during each semester, fall and spring.
Additional recitals may be scheduled when appropriate to the needs of the Department. Each music major will perform on these public recitals a designated number of times as approved by their applied professors and dictated by the degree program. Participation on departmental recitals is required during the semester of enrollment in the respective primary applied concentration regardless of the number of hours accumulated or any formal degree recitals being required during the semester unless: the student is in the first semester of college-level applied study or the
student is enrolled in student teaching. Performances by the students on Departmental Recitals are to be considered part of the academic program and should be taken seriously. Students are required to be prepared, and memorization is encouraged though applied professors are in charge of this requirement.
***Appropriate performance attire is required. Each student is required to talk with
his/her applied teacher regarding proper performance attire: no flip-flops, chewing gum, wet
hair, mini-skirts, etc.
23

If due to illness or emergency a student is unable to fulfill the Departmental Recital obligation, a grade of “I” (Incomplete) will be assigned for that semester’s applied work and the student must perform on the next regularly scheduled recital to redeem his/her grade. This recital serves only to redeem the previous semester’s grade and does not alleviate the student from the current semester’s recital obligations. The recital requirement must be completed within ninety days from the end of the previous semester to prevent the “I” from becoming an automatic “F”. The student is responsible to see that this requirement is completed. If an “I” is received during the spring semester and extension must be obtained from the associate provost for arts and sciences.
*All required recital presentations must be performed in the student's primary applied
concentration.
**Transfer students and newly declared majors will perform during their first semester at
the applied instructor’s discretion.
RECITAL PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
There are the four categories of student recitals:
1. Full Recital (vocal/piano-memorized) - the length must be at least fifty-five minutes of performed music. Required of all music performance majors who take a communications course as part of core requirements.
2. Half Recital (vocal/piano-memorized) - the length must be at least thirty minutes of performed music. Required of Music Education and Church Music majors and B.A. in Music majors who choose the recital/elective option during their senior year. Required of Music Performance majors in their junior year.
3. Qualifying Recital (Vocal/Piano-memorized) - the length must be at least twenty minutes of performed music. Required of Music Performance Majors during the sophomore year and serves as a basis for continued study in this program.
4. Lecture Recital (Half or Full) - including lecture and music performance. The length must be a minimum of forty minutes for a half recital and a minimum of seventy-five minutes for a full recital. Performance majors who take English Literature instead of Communications must perform a full lecture-recital. See Lecture Recital Guidelines on p. 47 .
If a Half Recital, Qualifying Recital or Half Lecture Recital is presented, it will usually be in
collaboration with another student presenting a half recital, which is either required or elective.
• The repertoire for required recitals must include a variety of styles and historical
periods.
• Composition and music business majors may give elective recitals.
• Any recital, required or elective, prepared by any student must be satisfactorily
presented at a “Recital Hearing” before the appropriate applied major faculty at least
24
24
two weeks prior to the public presentation of the program. No Jury will be required of
the student at the end of the semester in which a required public recital is presented.
(See Recital Hearing Requirements).
RECITAL HEARING REQUIREMENTS
Any student presenting a required recital will be expected to appear before the
appropriate applied music faculty at least two weeks prior to the recital performance date. The projected recital should be fully prepared and performed in its entirety for evaluation, recommendation, and approval. The student should confer with the applied major professor and prepare the recital as early in the semester as possible. The student is responsible to schedule the hearing in conjunction with the applied professor and all of the other participating jurists. A date and location must be secured from the Department Chair and Administrative assistant. DELETE - and the appropriate special event forms signed and approved for the hall used for the hearing. The faculty must vote to approve the recital as presented. If the faculty votes against proceeding with the recital, the recital will be postponed until such a time as another hearing has been performed and approved by the faculty. No recital will be presented without satisfactorily passing the Recital Hearing. ***PROGRAMS FOR RECITALS ARE DUE TO THE DEPARTMENT
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT WITHIN 24 HOURS OF PASSING THE RECITAL
HEARING. If a student fails a hearing, there is no guarantee that the recital can be
rescheduled the same semester unless the student is graduating that semester.
RECITAL SCHEDULING
The scheduling of recitals must be arranged and approved by the Department Chair before the last class day of the prior semester to the recital. It is preferred that the student pick a date six months prior to the recital in order to ensure proper publicity. A "Master Calendar" of events is maintained in the Music Office for reference and scheduling.
RECITAL ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS
All music majors and minors are required to attend programs of a musical nature presented by students, faculty, performance groups, guests, and distinguished artists. The music major is
expected to attend seventy-five percent of the programs presented each semester, to a
maximum of twelve programs. The music minor is required to attend half of the requirement for music major to a maximum of six. Attendance is checked by the student signing an attendance card handed out prior to the beginning of the recital and returning the attendance card to a faculty monitor at the conclusion of the recital. It is expected that the student will be present for the entire program in order to receive credit for attendance. • Failure to meet the recital attendance requirements will result in a reduction of the
primary applied final grade. The applied instructor is required to adjust the final
grade down one letter grade for one or two recitals deficient; two letters down for three
or four recitals deficient; three letters down for five or six recitals deficient; and four
letters down for seven or eight recitals deficient.
25
25
While attendance of approved concerts/recitals off campus will be acceptable in meeting this requirement, there is a minimum of fifty percent of the total programs presented each semester
that must be attended on the campus of Gardner-Webb University. Approval must be received in advance from the major applied teacher to assure proper credit for attendance at off-campus performances. The student is required to bring a copy of the program attended and obtain the signature of his or her primary applied teacher for approval of the concert. The record of attendance at all recitals is under the supervision of the Departmental Administrative assistant in Room 102, Gardner Hall.
RECITAL OPPORTUNITIES ON CAMPUS
Opportunities exist on campus for students to hear outstanding artists and to participate in
formal and informal recitals. The Distinguished Artist Series, Guest Artists, Faculty Recitals and Student Recitals provide excellent opportunities for the entire university community. A recital/concert schedule is prepared by the office of the Departmental Chair after the first regularly scheduled faculty meeting of each semester. This schedule is duplicated and made available (Music Office) to each student and posted throughout Gardner Hall.
The Distinguished Artist Series of the University brings outstanding professional artists to
the campus such as The American Boychoir, The Saint Louis Brass, pianist, Cesar Carlos Rodriquez, flutist, David Fedele, the 282nd Army Band, and Celtic-Irish Harp music by “Clairseach.” to name a few.
In addition, symphony orchestras such as the North Carolina Symphony, the Asheville Symphony, the Western Piedmont Symphony, and the Charlotte Civic Orchestra have performed on campus. Such occasions have allowed for workshop presentations, including emphasis on improvisation- style performance and master classes for Gardner-Webb students in various applied instruments, keyboard, and voice.
RECITAL OPPORTUNITIES OFF CAMPUS
Gardner-Webb University, located in Boiling Springs, North Carolina, is within driving distance of several cultural centers, which offer opportunities to hear excellent musical performances in all categories. These concert opportunities are usually posted on the bulletin boards on the lower floor of Gardner Hall and marked "Recital Credit." In many instances, some of these organizations offer student tickets at a considerable reduction in price.
Among the opportunities for the students to attend off-campus concerts are the: Charlotte Symphony, Charlotte Opera Association, Charlotte Oratorio Singers, Charlotte Community Concert Association, Asheville Symphony, Charlotte Civic Orchestra, Gastonia Community Concert Association, Spartanburg Music Foundation Concerts, Greenville Symphony, Guitar Society of the Western Carolinas and the performance offerings of many of the area colleges and universities such as Converse College, Furman University, Limestone College, Winthrop University, The University of North Carolina Charlotte, and Queens College.

JURY EXAMINATION AND APPLIED GRADING
At the end of each semester and summer school, all music students studying any applied
music for credit as a Music Major or Music Minor must take a "Jury Examination” which is
part of the student's degree program in each applied concentration program (see Jury Exam Requirements below). If a student does not appear for a scheduled jury examination, the student will receive a grade of F
for the semester. If an emergency situation arises, the student should contact the applied teacher before the scheduled jury, at which time the jury panel will determine if the circumstance is
perceived as reasonable and notify the student of the decision. Only then will a postponed jury
be acceptable.
Non-Music majors are not required to take this examination unless specified by the applied
professor. All students are encouraged to take Jury Examinations. **Credit toward a Major or Minor in music requires a Jury Examination.
Technical studies and scales assigned to a non-music major or a secondary applied
concentration are left to the discretion of the applied professor unless dictated by written requirements such as those contained in the Piano Proficiency, or area guidelines. Grading of a semester’s work is based on advancement beyond the students’ entry level. Solo performance repertoire should be pursued in addition to technical studies in order to improve basic musicianship. The jury repertoire is chosen by the teacher and any technical studies/scales are likewise chosen by the teacher unless required, as mentioned above, by screening, proficiency, or area guidelines. The “Jury” material shall be performed before the appropriate applied music faculty and must represent the level and number of selections as stipulated by requirements in that applied area. Students who are not required to have a Jury Exam receive 100% of their semester’s grade from their applied teacher. Students performing a Jury Exam will receive a percentage of their semester’s grade from the faculty members of the jury. The percentage will be at the discretion of the applied teacher and should be listed in the syllabus for the course.
The applied semester grading is determined by the instructor and the process of such
must be listed in the applied syllabus for the course. The manner in which the applied grade is
determined is at the discretion of the applied professor, but a percentage or some type of
consideration must be given by the professor to the grading by jury panelists and their
comments and concerns in addition to standard studio grading policies. Credit is not earned
unless the jury is satisfactorily passed.
During a semester in which a student receives a “Not Pass” for requirements such as
the Sophomore Screening, Piano Proficiency, or Recital Hearing, the student may receive a
passing grade for the semester but will in subsequent semesters have to complete the
deficiencies earned. The applied professor and jurists should work together to prescribe a
solution for remediation.
Students entering as Music Majors with limited fine art performance experience may be
deficient regarding performance level and must work diligently to achieve the required level of performance expected of a college-level music major. The student must achieve the required performance level by the time of his/her sophomore screening. The student will be advised as to
27
27
his/her level of development during each subsequent jury as he/she advances. Continuation in the desired applied area of concentration is dependent upon appropriate advancement during each semester. If the student does not advance appropriately he/she may ultimately not be able to continue as music major in that area of applied concentration.
Any student currently enrolled as a music major who makes a decision to change to a major outside of music will not be required to take the Jury if this declaration of change of major is made prior to the mid-term of the semester. The exam will be required of the student if the change of major is made after mid-term. The Jury Exam is not required of students in the semester of a required recital.

During the Jury at the end of the third or fourth semester of primary concentration study, the voice faculty will evaluate the student's potential in the concentration via the “Sophomore Screening” (see “Sophomore Screening” and “Sophomore Screening Requirements” for voice concentrations). At that time the faculty will decide whether the student should continue in the primary concentration or if a probationary period is warranted.
The Sophomore Screening Song shall be considered as one of the required number of songs to be performed from memory.
(See following information in this "Music Handbook" regarding representative Vocal Literature.)
JUNIOR:
Non-Performance majors with voice concentration (except music business) must be prepared to perform from memory a minimum of six songs during the Jury at the end of each semester. The song selections are to include at least three of the four basic languages (English, Italian, French, or German.
Music Business majors with voice concentration taking two hours credit for applied lessons
each semester must be prepared to perform from memory a minimum of five songs during the Jury at the end of each semester. The songs are to be selected from English and Italian vocal literature and preferably one additional language (French, German, Latin, or Spanish). If only one hour credit is taken during one of the two semesters, the minimum requirement of songs to be prepared for Jury that semester is three. The songs must include two languages.
Performance majors with voice concentration must be prepared to perform from memory a
minimum of eight songs during the Jury at the end of each semester. The song selections are to include at least three of the four basic languages (English, Italian, French, or German).

The song selections must include two languages and preferable an additional language when possible.
Performance majors with voice concentration must be prepared to perform from memory a
minimum of eight songs during the Jury at the end of any semester during which a recital is not
29
29
presented. The song selections should include four languages. Any music major with voice concentration must receive permission from the applied voice
faculty to enroll for more than the designated number of hours of study; no more than three hours credit may be taken during any semester. If permission is granted, the number of required songs to be prepared from memory for the Jury at the end of the semester will depend on the student’s classification (junior or senior) and the number of songs required for the two hours credit of applied voice: to that number will be added half the number of songs required for two hour credit. For example, a senior non-performance major, voice concentration, would prepare to perform from memory a total of nine songs = six songs for two hours credit + three songs for the additional hour credit. • At the end of any semester, the voice faculty reserves the right to advise or require that
a student change his/her Primary Concentration.

36
36
• All Instrumental Applied Non-Music Major/Minor (non keyboard) / percussion and
guitar included
Technical studies and scales requirements are left to the discretion of the applied teacher. All students must advance from his/her entry level in order to receive credit for academic work. Solo performance repertoire should be pursued in addition to the technical studies so that musicianship is improved upon.
Students are advised to consider taking a Jury exam since many decide to minor in music at a later date, and without a Juried examination credit cannot be given toward the minor. Also for credit, all music minors are required to attend programs of a musical nature presented by students, faculty, performance groups, guests, and distinguished artists. The attendance requirement is half of the requirement of a major. (See recital attendance in this handbook.)
As in all matters of applied instruction, the professor of record establishes all policies relating to the applied lesson with the exception of those specifically stated in this handbook and the catalog. Matters of disagreement should be brought to the Area Coordinator for discussion.
**Jury exams are encouraged of all applied instrumental students!
SOPHOMORE SCREENING
Each student pursuing any degree program in music as a major must be reviewed and
receive a “Pass” by the appropriate applied music faculty in his/her Primary Applied
concentration. This process is called the "Sophomore Screening."
The screening should be completed in the sophomore year, especially for performance majors. Students should have completed a minimum of six semester hours in the primary concentration. A student who needs to delay the sophomore screening should discuss the possibility with his/her primary applied concentration teacher. Performance majors must complete twelve hours of the applied concentration after the screening has been passed. All other majors must complete six hours of the applied concentration after screening has been passed.
Transfer students who have passed a sophomore screening at another institution should
provide a copy of the requirements and his/her evaluation for the appropriate applied faculty to approve. If the transfer screening is not acceptable, the appropriate applied faculty will decide the necessary remediation. Transfer students who have not passed a sophomore screening should confer with the primary concentration teacher to determine when the screening should be taken.
In addition, all music majors (Licensure non-degree seeking students , please see
Teacher Licensure”) must be enrolled in their Primary Applied Concentration each semester,
fall and spring, until the Sophomore Screening is passed.
• Teacher Licensure, non-degree seeking, non-piano concentration students who have not
37
37
passed a Piano Proficiency, please see “Teacher Licensure” section for further
parameters and the “Piano Proficiency: Non-Piano concentration” section for
requirements to complete the Piano Proficiency. Teacher Licensure, non-degree
seeking, piano concentrations who have not passed a Piano Proficiency, please see the
“Teacher Licensure” section for further parameters and the following “Sophomore
Screening Requirements” section to complete the GWU equivalent to the Piano
Proficiency requirement.
The Purpose of the "Sophomore Screening" is to evaluate the student's potential success in the Primary Concentration. The student is evaluated at this time to allow adequate time, if necessary, to rectify lack proficiency which is required.
The requirements may be found in this "Music Handbook" under "Sophomore Screening Requirements" or in the office of the School of Performing & Visual Arts – Music Department. The results of the Sophomore Screening will be one of the following:
(1) The student shall continue in the Primary Concentration and major. (2) The student will be placed on probation for one semester after which the student will
be required to pass the Sophomore Screening during the next Jury Examination. • If the Sophomore Screening is not passed at the second attempt, the student will be advised
to reconsider his/her options. The result of the Sophomore Screening has no bearing on the jury grade for the semester.
SOPHOMORE SCREENING REQUIREMENTS
• See "Sophomore Screening" for Evaluation Time Frame, Purpose, and Results.
PIANO CONCENTRATION:
The complete Sophomore Screening must be passed at the same hearing. It is not appropriate that only selected portions be passed without continued study. Scales and arpeggios must be performed first. The remainder of the screening will be performed in the order of the student’s preference. The screening for Music Education, Church Music, and Music (Liberal Arts) majors will be allowed 15 minutes: for Performance majors, 20 minutes; for Composition and Elective Studies in Music Business, 10 minutes.

procedures in making application to the teacher education program (see below: "K-12 Music Teacher Procedures”). After completing the Music Education course work as required by both the School of Performing & Visual Arts – Music Department and Department of Education, and upon satisfactorily passing the appropriate PRAXIS Exams, licensure in the area of music may be obtained by applying to the North Carolina State Department of Public Instruction. This license is effective from Kindergarten through the twelfth grade.
The student is referred to the section of the current undergraduate catalog listed under the
Department of Education with regards to all procedures and requirements related to teacher Licensure. It is the student's responsibility to see that these procedures are followed and requirements met. Guidance and counseling is available through the individual Music Education advisor and the Department of Education.
Students who hold a baccalaureate degree may enter the program as a licensure-only, non-degree seeking student. The student must meet entrance and exit requirements from the Education and Music Departments comparable to those required of a degree-seeking student. Upon entering the program the baccalaureate academic record and “other work” deemed appropriate will be evaluated by both departments. Possible deficiencies in the evaluation will determine a course of study. Deficiencies in Music Education may include no course work or insufficient hours taken in a particular subject. Each student must have all course work, all PRAXIS examinations, a piano proficiency, and a 30-minute formal recital completed before satisfying the exit requirements. Upon completion of all work, the student will be recommended for licensure by the School of Education.
MUSIC EDUCATION SUPPLIES
The Department utilizes multiple copies of teacher's editions. Additions are made on a regular basis as the State makes new adoptions and as the area public schools select the series to be used. Included in the supplies is the "Threshold to Music" charts by Mary Helen Richards; a full complement of rhythm instruments and pitched instruments including a complete set of Orff Instruments. School-owned autoharps are used both in and out of class, and recorders are purchased individually by the students at the university bookstore.

While promoting Christian values, the Gardner-Webb Community School of Music has a dual
mission: We provide an education in music to all members of the community who desire it, regardless of age, professional intention, or previous training. This mission is based upon the notion that every individual has the capacity for artistic expression at some appropriate level of understanding and skill. We also offer highly talented children and adolescents the opportunity to realize their highest potential as leaders of the next generation of performing artists, thus preparing them for more advanced music study as they enter college and other pursuits after graduation from high school. We also seek to stimulate interest in the arts, and strive to stimulate in our students an interest in serving the Greater Glory of God by serving others with music.
The Goals:
1. To provide training in musical performance on an instrument or voice 2. To learn repertoire in all styles 3. To stimulate interest in music and to use that interest and training to serve God and Humanity. 4. To help our students to develop a lifelong appreciation and love of music through the education of learning to play an instrument or to sing

It is a violation of the copyright law for any student or teacher to make xerox copies or any type of photo copies, including the copying by hand, of any music that is still under copyright. Specifically, voice students need to be aware that the making of copies of songs in their possession for use by the accompanist is a specific violation of this law. Teachers should not condone this type of activity and should insist that each copy of music that is used, both by the singer and accompanist, be of legitimate purchase. Discovery of this violation can lead to a conviction in court if the publisher decides to augment prosecution. Similarly, software and the recording of music, the making of records, and utilizing music that is still under copyright, is protected by this law. Should any type of recording be undertaken, proper clearance through the copyright owner should be obtained, and written permission be kept on file should any type of question be raised.
PROGRAM BOOK

music faculty member and to each student who is a Music Major or Minor. The Program Book includes a copy of each program that was presented the previous year and is arranged in the order of the presentation of the programs. Also included is the listing of the music faculty and his/her academic credentials. The Program Book is also used for distribution to prospective students.

The School of Performing & Visual Arts – Music Department attempts to keep in touch with music major alumni and friends of the music program, as found on the Concert Mailing List, by way of a “Music Alumni and Friends Newsletter.” With this in mind, the newsletter is prepared and mailed each summer to all students who have received a degree in music and friends of music. It is hoped that this personal contact will keep the alumni informed of the activities on campus, as well as keep them informed of the activities of their former classmates. A convenient form is attached to each newsletter to allow alumni to update information on file and their activities.
DEPARTMENT PLACEMENT SERVICE
Many area churches wish to employ students to serve as part-time Ministers of Music,
pianists, or organists. The School of Performing & Visual Arts – Music Department provides assistance to any student who wants such a church position. The first step is to complete an information form provided by the coordinator of the Church Music curriculum. Information from this form is given to churches seeking music students who, in turn, contact the students directly. Notices of church positions are posted in the main hallway of Gardner Hall on the Student Announcements bulletin board and by the Office of Career Services.
Although students preparing to become church musicians are encouraged to attend a seminary or graduate school after graduation, the Department will assist students in finding church employment (on a full time basis) after graduation from Gardner-Webb. Information on the employment possibilities in the field of Church Music can be obtained from the coordinator of the Church Music curriculum and from the Office of Career Services.
CAREER PLANNING SERVICES
Gardner-Webb University provides an Office of Career Services and a full-time Coordinator
of Career Services who will assist the student in finding employment after graduation. In order to provide this assistance, it is necessary for the Office of Career Services to have an up-to-date file of data on the student. It is important to fill out all forms provided by this office during the senior year, which will accurately provide information for use by the office. This service is valuable because the references and other information will be available for many years and can be used as needed. It is strongly recommended that the student keep the file current after graduation regarding address, place of employment, etc.
In addition to any assistance given to students desiring placement after graduation, the Office of Career Services provides help in finding part-time work off-campus while the student is enrolled at Gardner-Webb University.
