Welcome to the Department of Music at Adams State University! Music at Adams State University is an active and vital program, committed to musical excellence within a small university environment. Our faculty has been trained at major universities and conservatories, yet you will receive the personal attention and be afforded the opportunities only a small university can offer. During the 2016-2017 academic year, we enjoyed excellent performances by students, faculty, ensembles and nationally known guest artists, many of whom worked with ASU music majors in master classes and clinics. We look forward to another excellent year in 2016-2017. Music is a very demanding discipline that takes hard work and dedication. Our faculty and curriculum are designed to help you take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to learn and to grow as a musician at ASU. This Handbook for Music Students is an annual supplement to the current ASU Catalog and the ASU Student Handbook. It is your responsibility to review the following pages carefully for changes, updates, and corrections to Department policies and procedures. Music degree programs are complicated. When in doubt, check with your faculty advisor rather than depending on informal advice that may be incorrect. Welcome! We are glad that you are here, and we look forward to a great year of music making together. If we can be of help to you in any way, please let us know. Best wishes,

Dr. Beth Robison, Chair Department of Music

INTRODUCTION The music program at Adams State University has enjoyed a colorful history since the College was founded in 1921. International choir tours during the 1970s and a Rose Bowl Parade appearance by the "Top of the Nation" Marching Band in the late 1960s are but two highlights of this history. Recent guest artists on campus have included Samir Chatterjee, the USAF Academy Band’s Rampart Winds, Stellar Brass, and Solaris, the DaVinci and Veronika String Quartets, the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, George Winston, Opera Colorado, saxophonist Brad Leali, Saturday Night Live percussionist Valerie Naranjo and other nationally known guest artists. The “Top of the Nation” Honor Band and Choir Festival, the Invitational Jazz Festival and the Piano and Strings Festival are four annual events that attract large numbers of high school students and their directors to ASU. The Department of Music continues to be of central importance to the University and the community. Each year, about one-third of the ASU student body participates in music classes, lessons and ensembles. Community patrons support a varied schedule of concerts and recitals, helping to establish ASU as a valuable cultural resource in the San Luis Valley region. PURPOSE The three-fold purpose of the ASU Department of Music is to educate music teachers and music professionals through programs leading to Bachelor of Arts degrees in Music Education and in Music (with various emphases); to educate the general student body through classes, lessons and ensembles; and to provide service to the campus and the community through performances and other educational opportunities for cultural enrichment. Our primary mission is accomplished by offering coursework leading to Bachelor of Arts degrees in preparation for careers in various fields of music. In addition, the Department offers a minor in music, and courses in music literature to serve the University's general studies curriculum. Our third mission of campus and community service is provided through performing ensembles open to all ASU students by audition and through an annual series of faculty, guest and student recitals and concerts open to the campus and the community. Faculty members also serve as resource persons for area public schools through clinics, concerts, adjudication and workshops.

7

DEGREE PROGRAMS The Department of Music offers two degree programs: The Bachelor of Arts in Music Education and the Bachelor of Arts in Music with emphases in Performance, Liberal Arts, Music Business, and Composition. The Bachelor of Arts in Music Education degree is a professional degree program for those students who plan to teach choral or instrumental music in grades K-12. This program includes requirements for teacher licensure in the State of Colorado.

The Bachelor of Arts in Music degree is a liberal arts degree with additional study in music literature and performance (Performance Emphasis), liberal arts electives (Liberal Arts Emphasis), Composition, or Music Business. A Minor in Music (18 credit hours) is designed to provide opportunities for music study and performance to complement a major in another field of study.

Published requirements for the above programs appear in the 2016-2017 ASU Catalog. These requirements are in effect for all students who enter Fall 2016. Students who entered prior to Fall 2015 may graduate under the degree requirements under which they entered, unless courses have changed substantially or have been deleted. All course substitutions must be approved by the Department Chair. ACCREDITATION The Adams State University Department of Music is an institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music, the accrediting agency for schools and Departments of music in American colleges and universities. As a member of NASM, music degrees from Adams State University meet the same essential competencies and requirements as more than 650 other member institutions in the U.S. STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS You may wish to join one or more of the organizations for music students sponsored by the Department of Music. Some organizations are open only by special invitation. For further information, contact the student president or the faculty sponsor. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR MUSIC EDUCATION (NAfME), A national professional organization which is open to any student with an interest in music education. Activities include periodic meetings, guest speakers, field trips, and attendance and participation in the state conference of the Colorado Music Educators' Association in Colorado Springs. AMERICAN CHORAL DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION (ACDA). A national

organization which is open to any student interested in choral music education and conducting. Activities include attending the regional ACDA conferences.

MUSIC ACTIVITY GRANTS, SCHOLARSHIPS A number of scholarships and activity grants are available each year to music students based on annual funding. Some are designated for music majors only; some are designated for a specific purpose or area of study. These scholarships and grants are awarded to student musicians on the basis of performance, academics, and service to the Department. Awards are renewable, and subject to an annual review/audition. Awards include: Alton Cole Scholarship Richard Talley Musical Theater Scholarship Cloyce Stokes Memorial Scholarship

Richmond Memorial Scholarship McGee Memorial Scholarship

McDaniel’s Scholarship Music Endowment Scholarship

Music Scholarships Audition requirements and applications for new awards or for renewals are available in the Music Office. For further information ask the Department Chair or the Office of Financial Aid. CLASS ATTENDANCE POLICIES Class attendance policies are established by the faculty member responsible for a given course and should be made clear to each student in the course syllabus and at a class session early in each semester. It is your responsibility as a student to acquaint yourself thoroughly with attendance policies. You must notify the faculty member in advance if an absence is necessary. The faculty member is not obligated to accept late assignments or to give make-up examinations resulting from unexcused absences. The instructor also should make private lesson attendance policies clear to each student. You must notify the instructor in advance if a scheduled lesson time cannot be kept. A missed lesson may be recorded as a failing grade for that week by the instructor. Except in documented cases of illness or a bona fide absence for a university activity (tours, field trips, etc.), the instructor is not expected to grant a make-up lesson. GRADING POLICIES Grading policies are established by the faculty member responsible for a given course and should be made clear to each student in the course syllabus and at a class session early in each semester. All grades conform to the grading system of Adams State University as printed in the ASU Catalog. Please note that a grade of "D+" or lower in any music course does not count toward completion of graduation requirements for the major or minor. Also note that this regulation applies to any course from another Department that is specifically required for the major or minor. Such courses must be retaken to earn a final grade of "C-" or better.

BULLETIN BOARDS Bulletin boards are located in various places throughout the music building. Some are designated for use by ensembles or organizations. Others are for posting of official notices and general Departmental information. Please check frequently the Message Board located just outside the Music Office for notes and messages left there for you. Materials to be posted on bulletin boards must be approved through the Department of Music Office. Posted materials will be removed if not approved or if pertinent dates have expired. Please do not post any materials on walls, windows or doors. It makes the building look cluttered and unattractive, and probably doesn't result in better attention to the messages. PRACTICE ROOMS The Department of Music has a number of practice rooms, located on the second floor of the Music building, available for your use. These rooms are reserved at all times for ASU students studying applied music or who are ensemble participants. Rooms are not scheduled, but are available on a first-come, first-serve basis during regular building hours. (A few practice rooms are designated for special purposes, e.g., advanced piano students, organists, percussionists, and require a key permit.) Rehearsal rooms and classrooms may be scheduled for special events, small ensemble rehearsals, etc. Use of these rooms requires special scheduling through the Housing Office. Completion of a Building Contract is required when rooms are scheduled after 5:00 p.m. weekdays or anytime on weekends. A "late pass" is required for after-hours practice. These may be requested from the Music Office and must be approved by the Department Chair. BUILDING HOURS During the academic year, the Music building is open from Monday to Friday 7:00 am to 10:00 pm, and Saturday and Sunday 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. Check the window by the front door of the Music Building for current hours. USE OF FACILITIES, INSTRUMENTS Use of music facilities beyond normal daytime hours and/or scheduled classes requires special permission. Students and faculty alike must complete an Application and Permit form (called a Building Contract) through the Housing Office and Department Chair. Leon Memorial Concert Hall is a specialized instructional area for the Department of Music. Events sponsored by the Department have priority in scheduling this facility. Leon is made available only to organizations or groups that can use the stage without the possibility of damage to the grand pianos, the pipe organ, and the harpsichord. All events

10

scheduled for Leon and Richardson Hall require the approval of the Department Chair and the completion of a Building Contract issued by the Housing Office Rehearsal Policy: Students will be allowed three one-hour rehearsals in Leon Recital Hall prior to a junior or senior recital which should be scheduled through the Department Office. A fifteen minute rehearsal will be allowed for department student recitals. As is the practice in many institutions, the recital hall is not available for regular rehearsals. The Music Lab (MUS 106A) is a resource center containing records, tapes, CDs, listening equipment, and computer workstations. Materials do not circulate and must not be removed from the room without faculty approval. Students may use the room and equipment only when an attendant is on duty, unless a faculty member grants special permission. Instruments and equipment owned by the University are for the use of students and faculty for instructional use at ASU. Rental fees are not charged, however, individual users must sign out the equipment and assume responsibility for normal usage. University-owned equipment cannot be checked out to individuals for private use. Under no circumstances will ASU equipment be loaned to anyone unless permission is granted by the Department Chair, and responsibility forms are completed by the Administrative Assistant and signed by the borrower. LOCKERS, LOCKS A limited number of equipment lockers are available to students registered for ensembles. Priority is given to students needing lockers for larger instruments. Lockers must be checked out through the Band Manager, and assigned locks must be used. There is a $25 cash deposit charged at the beginning of the academic year for each locker. It will be returned at the end of the academic year when the locker has been vacated and cleaned out. OFF-CAMPUS PERFORMANCES Following are guidelines for musical presentations to be accepted as official extensions of the Department of Music at off-campus performances: 1. A music faculty member must agree to be responsible for the group of

students and must accompany them to and from the performance. 2. A music faculty member must recommend in writing that a student or

student group under his/her direction or sponsorship be permitted to perform at an off-campus site, and that the performance will conform to Departmental standards and expectations.

3. Appropriate travel request forms and requisitions must be submitted at least

two weeks in advance, and arrangements made for any absences from classes that may occur. The Department Chair will approve or disapprove the request based on whether an off-campus appearance is in the best interest of the Department and the University, and based on budgetary considerations and limitations.

11

4. A formal audition may be requested if there is some doubt about whether an

off-campus appearance is in the best interest of the Department and the University.

5. Note that officially sanctioned group travel means that the group is traveling

as a representative of the Department and the University. All ASU on-campus policies and regulations (Code of Conduct, alcohol/drug use, etc.) apply to students and faculty who are off-campus representing the Department of Music and the University.

TRAVEL, TOUR APPROVAL All off-campus travel requests by music student organizations, groups or performing ensembles must be officially approved in advance. The following procedures must be followed: 1. In all cases, the regulations printed under "Off-Campus Performances"

apply. 2. The responsible faculty member must recommend in writing that a student

group has his/her endorsement, state the purpose of the travel, provide an itinerary, proposed dates, an accurate estimate of costs, and submit appropriate travel request and budget requisition forms at least three weeks in advance.

3. The Department Chair will approve or disapprove the request based on

budgetary, scholastic or artistic considerations. 4. Please re-read item #5 under "Off-Campus Performances" above. The same regulations and policies apply to all student groups and organizations traveling to and from ASU. ADVISING Students enrolled for major programs in music will be assigned to a member of the full-time music faculty for academic advising. You will need to get a PIN number each semester in order to register for classes. The advisor will help you plan your course of study, check with you to make sure you are meeting all degree requirements, monitor your progress in the degree program you have chosen, and maintain an up-to-date progress file in the Department of Music Office. Please see your advisor as often as needed. The advisor will help you when possible, but YOU have the final responsibility for planning, enrolling, succeeding and completing all requirements in your academic program. MUSIC ENTRANCE AUDITIONS

All students must audition for three faculty members to be admitted to a major in music. All students must also take a music theory entrance exam.

12

COMPOSITION APPLICATION PROCESS Composition applicants are required to submit an application with a representative portfolio of original work. In addition, students must achieve a ‘B’ or better in all music theory and technology courses and have support from their applied instructor. Applications are available by request. MUSIC DEGREE REQUIREMENTS In addition to requirements for music degrees published in the ASU Catalog, all music majors and minors must complete Recital Attendance requirements, Ensemble requirements, and Proficiency Exams as listed in this Handbook. ACCOMPANIMENT REQUIREMENTS Music majors whose principal performing instrument is piano may be required to accompany a limited number of other students as part of their music scholarship agreement. Assignments will be made and supervised by a designated music faculty member each semester. COPYRIGHT LAWS Under the U.S. copyright law, it is illegal for you to copy a publication in any way without the written permission of the copyright owner, subject only to the very specific provisions of the copyright law. Anyone found making illegal copies, or otherwise infringing, could face fines, imprisonment, or both. The following are expressly prohibited: • Copying to avoid purchase. • Copying music for any kind of performance (emergency excepted). • Copying without including copyright notice. • Copying to create anthologies or compilations. • Reproducing material designed to be consumable. • Charging beyond the actual cost involved in making copies as permitted. Please note that the existence of a copy machine in the Music Office does not give anyone permission to make unauthorized copies of copyrighted material. For further information on what is or is not permissible, refer to current regulations on United States copyright laws.

13

USE OF THE COPY MACHINE The copy and fax machines are limited to faculty, staff and student assistants and are for official University business only. Any copies or faxes for personal use may be made only with the permission of the Music Office staff. Copies must be paid for in advance (.10/page for copies, .50/page for local call faxes and $1.00/page for long distance faxes). RECITALS, STUDIO CLASSES One hour per week will be reserved for student recitals and studio classes. On weeks when no student recital is scheduled, studio classes or other events (lectures, meetings, convocations, etc.) may be scheduled by the faculty. All students enrolled for Applied Music (MUS 130 and above) are required to attend and participate in studio classes scheduled by the studio teacher. A schedule of events will be posted and distributed at the beginning of each semester, with revisions as necessary during the term. All music majors and minors enrolled in Applied Music (MUS 140 and above) are required to perform solo repertoire at least once per semester on a student recital. Music with a written or recorded accompaniment must be performed with accompaniment. Individual studio teachers may require additional performances. Program information for student recitals is due in the Music Office no later than noon two days preceding the recital. Students are responsible for submitting accurate and complete information. The applied teacher must indicate approval of the performance and the program copy by signing the information sheet. RECITAL ATTENDANCE All students enrolled as music majors or minors are required to attend a series of concerts and recitals sponsored or approved by the Department of Music each semester. The purpose of this requirement is to encourage your participation as a listener to on-campus concerts and recitals sponsored by the Department of Music, to enhance your musical education by providing opportunities to experience a variety of performances, and to provide audience support for fellow student and faculty performers. All music majors and minors must enroll in MUS 000, Recital Attendance. Majors in Music must enroll for a total of seven semesters. Music minors must enroll for a total of two semesters. Grading is Pass/Fail. To earn a passing grade, you must attend a minimum of 15 (or 75%) scheduled concerts and recitals sponsored by the Department each semester. Lists of events will be published by the Music Office at the beginning of each semester, and revised as needed during the term. Audience members and performers must observe appropriate concert protocol at every performance alike.

Attendance credit will not be given for late arrivals or for early departures. A music faculty member or student will be assigned to distribute attendance slips before each recital and collect them immediately afterward. If no attendance slips are available, students may sign a copy of the program, ask a faculty member present at the performance to initial the program, and turn in the program to the Music Office. To receive Recital

14

Attendance credit, signed programs must be turned in to the Music Office no later than three weekdays following the event. Attendance slips turned in late by individual students will not be accepted without approval of the Department Chair. The Music Office will maintain attendance records. Attendance can be checked with the Administrative Assistant in the Music Office. Please check your attendance record for accuracy. If you think an error has been made, check with the Administrative Assistant. The final grade for MUS 000, Recital Attendance, will be assigned by the Department Chair based upon your attendance record as of the last class day of each semester. JUNIOR AND SENIOR RECITAL REQUIREMENTS All students pursuing the degree, Bachelor of Arts in Music (Emphasis in Performance) must present both a Junior and a Senior recital of acceptable quality for completion of degree requirements. Students pursuing the Emphasis in Performance must continue to enroll in Applied Music until the Junior and Senior recitals have been completed. All students pursuing the degree, Bachelor of Arts in Music Education must present a Junior recital of acceptable quality for completion of degree requirements. Music Education students may present the recital in either the Junior or Senior year, but no earlier than the semester of MUS 341 Applied Music study. Music Education students must continue to enroll in Applied Music until the Junior recital has been completed. If accompaniment is required, an accompanist fee of $50 for a Junior Recital and $75 for a Senior Recital will be assessed to provide for additional rehearsals, the recital hearing, and the performance. This fee is to be paid to the Department of Music office no later than two weeks prior to the recital. I. JUNIOR RECITALS Junior recitals are considered a half recital with a minimum of thirty minutes of actual music performed. Normally, two students will present a joint recital unless the combined length exceeds 1-1/2 hours. Normally, recitals will be presented in the Leon Memorial Concert Hall. The applied music instructor, in consultation with the Department Chair, will determine whether another facility is necessary. All students planning to fulfill the Junior recital requirements must enroll for MUS 345, Junior Recital (1 cr), at the beginning of the semester in which the recital is scheduled for performance. (Permission of Applied Instructor and Department Chair required.) II. SENIOR RECITALS Senior recitals are considered a full recital with a minimum of forty-five minutes and a maximum of sixty minutes of actual music performed. Senior recitals are not scheduled jointly due to performance length. Normally, recitals will be presented in the Leon Memorial Concert Hall. The applied music instructor, in consultation with the Department Chair, will determine whether another facility is necessary. All students planning to fulfill the Senior recital requirements must enroll for MUS 445, Senior Recital (2 cr), at the beginning of the semester in which the recital is scheduled for performance.

15

(Permission of Applied Instructor and Department Chair required). NOTE: There is a $75.00 fee to be paid to the accompanist no later than two weeks prior to the recital. III. RECITAL SCHEDULING Recitals may be scheduled only with the approval of the applied instructor. A recital date should be reserved on the Department of Music schedule no later than two calendar months before the requested date. The student must contact the Administrative Assistant in the Music Office to check for available dates. The Administrative Assistant will then clear the date on the master calendar in the External Affairs Office, reserve the performance facility, and add the event to the Music Department calendar. Recitals may not be scheduled to conflict with another event sponsored or approved by the Department of Music. In case of a scheduling conflict, your recital will not be scheduled until the conflict is resolved. Only the Administrative Assistant or the Department Chair are authorized to enter recital dates and times on the schedule book. IV. RECITAL CHECKLIST When you reserve a recital date, be sure to obtain a “Jr/Sr Recital Checklist” from the counter in the Music Office. It will provide you with deadlines to help you prepare for your recital. It is important that you observe deadlines to ensure that all supporting parts of your recital program are prepared as well as your performance. V. RECITAL HEARING The recital program must be heard by an appointed faculty committee at least three weeks before the scheduled recital date. The hearing committee shall be appointed by the Department Chair and shall be comprised of at least three full-time music faculty members, one of whom must be the applied instructor. The applied instructor is responsible for supervising all arrangements and scheduling for the hearing and recital. The entire recital program must be ready for presentation to the faculty committee, who may select any or all of the music for the hearing. All music that will be performed from memory on the recital must be presented from memory at the hearing. In addition to the music to be performed, a draft copy of the printed program and program notes must also be presented to the faculty committee at the hearing. The student is responsible for the preparation of program copy and program notes that have been approved by the applied instructor.

If the faculty committee determines that the hearing is acceptable, the recital may proceed as scheduled. An unacceptable hearing will result in a re-hearing of all or any part of the recital program, and may cause postponement or cancellation of the scheduled recital date. VI. RECITAL PROGRAMS The Department of Music will furnish printed programs for all official recitals in a standard format as follows:

16

1. The standard program for recitals is a four-page format, an 8-1/2" by 11" page folded in half to form 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" pages, printed on a paper stock as determined by the Department.

2. Accurate and complete program copy must be submitted to the Music Office

at least two weeks in advance of the recital date. The Administrative Assistant will prepare the program copy. It is the student's and the applied teacher's responsibility to proofread and approve the final copy for printing.

3. Program notes will be printed by the Music Office on standard 8-1/2" x 11"

paper. Program notes must be submitted in camera-ready form at least one week in advance of the recital date. It is the student's and the applied teacher's responsibility to proofread and approve the final copy for printing.

4. Normally, the Department will print 75 copies of recital programs and program

notes, with 15 of those copies reserved by the Music Office for the annual program books. Additional programs may be ordered at the student’s expense. Please notify the Administrative Assistant if you need more or fewer copies.

If a student wishes to furnish his/her own programs, the following rules will apply: 1. The cost of printing programs will be assumed by the student. 2. The style and program copy must be approved by the applied teacher and

the Department Chair prior to printing. 3. The finished dimensions of the program must be 5-1/2" by 8-1/2" since

copies of all programs are bound at the end of each academic year. 4. The standard number of copies printed is 75; 3 of those copies must be

submitted to the Music Office for the program books. VII. RECITAL POSTERS Students are responsible for their own posters to help publicize student recitals. The department administrative assistant may be able to assist with posters, depending on workload and the time the request was made. The standard page size is 8-1/2" x 11". A variety of print designs and paper colors are available. Poster copy and design must be completed at least two weeks prior to the recital date. Poster copy and illustrations must be approved by the applied teacher. It is the student’s responsibility to remove posters from all bulletin boards after the recital date. VIII. RECITAL EVALUATION The Department Chair, in consultation with the applied instructor, will assign a letter grade for MUS 345, Junior Recital, or MUS 445, Senior Recital, as determined by the quality of the recital performance.

17

IX. RECITAL REGULATIONS

1. Students may reserve Leon Recital Hall for a maximum of three rehearsal hours. The applied instructor should attend the rehearsals.

2. Students should make their own arrangements for ushers, program

distributors, stage crew, and reception attendants. The Department will be responsible for a recording technician.

3. TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS DURING RECITALS IS NOT

PERMITTED. Students or families wishing to take photos should arrange for them to be taken before or after the performance.

4. ELECTRONIC DEVICES such as pagers, beepers, electronic watches,

cellular phones, etc., must be TURNED OFF during performances, or left in care of an usher. Please notify your guests of this regulation.

5. Instruments used for accompaniment may include the pianos, organ and/or

the harpsichord, subject to approval of the applied instructor and the Department Chair. The Music Office must be notified well in advance so that arrangements for tuning can be made.

6. The Leon Memorial Hall Lobby may be reserved for receptions following

recitals. Persons or organizations that plan receptions also must accept the responsibility for clean up after the reception.

X. RECORDING RECITALS An audio recording technician will record all Departmental Student Recitals, Junior, Senior, and Faculty recitals, Ensemble Concerts, and when possible, Guest recitals and Special programs. The recording will be housed in the Music Lab (MUS 106A) and will remain the property of the Department of Music. CDs will be available for listening on a "Reference Only" basis. One duplicate CD for personal use may be made by an individual student or faculty member. Copyright laws do not permit making additional copies. NOTE: Video recording may be arranged for $50 to be paid directly to the recording technician. ENSEMBLE REQUIREMENTS All full-time students majoring in music are required to enroll in at least one large ensemble for credit during each semester in residence for seven semesters. Music Education students are exempt from this requirement during the student teaching semester. The faculty reserves the right to assign students to ensembles in which the student's participation may be considered essential to a specific career goal, degree program, applied

18

major area, and/or educational needs. Music minors are required to enroll for two semesters, but are encouraged to continue participation beyond the minimum requirement. Large ensembles are defined as Band, Concert Choir and Orchestra.

In addition, all music students taking applied lessons are required to audition and participate in chamber music ensembles at the discretion of the applied teacher. JURY EXAMS All students enrolled in Applied Music (MUS 140 and above) are required to perform a jury exam each semester, except the semester in which a Junior or Senior recital is performed. Students enrolled in Applied Music (MUS 130) perform at the discretion of the applied teacher. Jury exams are the final examinations in applied music. They are held at the end of each semester and are performed before music faculty representatives of each applied music area (keyboard, voice, instrumental). All full-time music faculty members and those part-time music faculty members who can be present will hear the jury exams. Faculty will make arrangements to be free from all teaching duties and other responsibilities so that the entire day can be made available for jury exams as needed. All faculty members present will write constructive comments that will be made available for individual students and their applied teacher to read. Faculty members will evaluate each Upper Division exam as a "Pass" or "No Pass" performance and assign a letter grade for the jury. The applied teacher will use the comment sheets for advisory purposes in determining the student's applied music grade for the semester.

Applied Music Repertoire Reports, available from the Music Office, must be completed by each student prior to Jury Exams. Performance repertoire listed on the Applied Music Repertoire Report should include all of the material studied during the current semester. The completed Report is to be presented to the jury prior to the exam performance. Music with a written or recorded accompaniment must be performed with accompaniment. All material listed on the Report should be ready to be performed for the jury unless otherwise indicated on the Report; exam repertoire may be selected at the discretion of the jury. Jury exams are generally 10 minutes in length; Upper Division exams are 20 minutes. Exams are scheduled by sign-up sheets posted prior to the exam week. Students must check with their applied teachers and their accompanists before signing up for an exam time. ADMISSION TO UPPER DIVISION STUDY All music majors must apply for Admission to Upper Division (Junior-level) study leading to the specific degree which he/she wishes to pursue. Normally, the decision regarding admission is made by an appropriate faculty committee during the Spring semester of the Sophomore year; if approved, admission becomes effective at the beginning of the Junior year. See the Administrative Assistant to pick up your application form. Admission to Upper Division study requires completion of the following music courses with grades of "C-" or higher: Mus 000 Recital Attendance (4 semesters "P") Mus 103 Introduction to Music Technology Mus 104 Music Theory I

19

Mus 108 Aural Skills I Mus 120,121 Class Piano I, II (or Proficiency) Mus 140,141 Applied Music - principal instrument Mus 204 Music Theory II Mus 208 Aural Skills II Mus 240,241 Applied Music - principal instrument Mus 245 or 247 Band or Concert Choir (4 semesters of the same ensemble) Mus 304 Advanced Music Theory & Counterpoint Mus 308 Advanced Aural Skills In addition, each student must pass an Upper Division Applied Music Exam, consisting of a twenty minute jury exam during which the student must demonstrate competence to achieve success at the MUS 340 level. Procedures for admission to Upper Division study are as follows: 1. During the second semester of the Sophomore year (or the semester of

MUS 241 applied study), the student will consult with his/her applied instructor and academic advisor, then will complete an application form for Admission to Upper Division Study. The completed application form, together with an unofficial copy of the student’s transcript, will be returned to the music office.

2. The student will sign up for a twenty minute applied music jury exam

during the times reserved for such exams or at faculty discretion. During the exam, the student will be expected to demonstrate competence at the MUS 241 level and show promise of succeeding at the MUS 340 level. In addition to the performance, the student may be asked to demonstrate: (1) knowledge of the applied area and its literature; (2) knowledge of major and minor scales, chords, keys, tempo markings, expressive terms, etc.; (3) general musical knowledge consistent with the content of the basic musicianship courses; and (4) other questions deemed appropriate by the faculty.

3. Three or more full-time music faculty members, including the applied

music instructor and Department Chair, will form the Upper Division jury exam panel. All music faculty members are strongly encouraged to attend and participate. Written and/or verbal comments and recommendations will be tabulated by the Department Chair so that a majority decision of "Pass" or "No Pass" may be communicated to the student and to the applied instructor.

4. A "Pass" decision (majority vote by the faculty) indicates that the student

will be accepted for Upper Division study at the beginning of the Junior year, on the condition that all Freshman and Sophomore music major coursework is completed with a grade of "C-" or better. If this condition is not met, then admission to Upper Division study will be withheld.

5. A "No Pass" decision indicates that the student will not be permitted to

enroll in MUS 340 nor in other upper division music courses. A student may retake the upper division exam after one additional semester of MUS 241 study. All previous conditions for admission to Upper Division study (grades, etc.) will apply at the time the repeat exam is scheduled.

20

6. A student may request admission to more than one degree program or emphasis area (for example, Music Education, Performance, Liberal Arts). This will require a “Pass” decision from the faculty for each emphasis area.

ADMISSION TO TEACHER CERTIFICATION/LICENSURE PROGRAMS Students who intend to complete a Music Education degree and be licensed to teach must apply for admission to the Teacher Education program through the School of Education and Graduate Studies. Revised licensure requirements are now in effect for all students. Freshman music majors are advised to consult with the Teacher Education Department in the ES building and to make sure they are on track each semester with all courses, applications, etc. All Music Education students are responsible to meet the deadlines of the Teacher Education Department. Be sure to consult the TED website and printed materials. PROFICIENCY EXAMS All students who are candidates for degrees from ASU must demonstrate appropriate levels of competency in written and oral communications, and in technology (see new General Education requirements). Writing proficiency requirements for the Department of Music are as follows:

Each sophomore music major will develop a portfolio that will include a minimum of three writing samples as evidence of writing proficiency. Writing samples may include such items as essay papers or concert reviews from the Introduction to Music Literature class, composer sketches from applied music assignments, papers submitted for other classes at Adams State University, or other samples that the student may wish to include. Students should submit writing samples to the Music Office. Portfolios will be housed in the Music Office, and will be accessible to students. Writing samples should be copies, not originals, and will not be returned. Before the end of the sophomore year, a committee of full-time music faculty, appointed by the Department Chair, will review each student’s portfolio. The writing samples will be judged “Proficient” or “Not Proficient.” Students’ writing evaluated as “Not Proficient” must present evidence of writing proficiency by passing English 226 or its equivalent with a grade of “C” or better.

PIANO PROFICIENCY EXAM All music majors must demonstrate an acceptable level of keyboard proficiency. Music Education majors must pass the Piano Proficiency Exam during the semester prior to student teaching. The Piano Proficiency Exam must be successfully completed before

21

Departmental approval will be granted for student teaching. Performance and Liberal Arts majors must pass the Piano Proficiency Exam the semester of graduation. The Piano Proficiency Exam will be administered once each semester. Evidence of satisfactory completion of the exam shall be certified in writing with the signatures of at least one faculty member and the Department Chair. Students taking the piano proficiency exam in the fall semester must pass the exam by the end of the first week in November. Those taking the piano proficiency exam in the spring semester must pass the exam by the end of the first week in April. PIANO PROFICIENCY REQUIREMENTS:

These requirements are in effect for all students who entered Spring 2007 or later.

Students who entered prior to Spring 2007 may graduate either under the current Piano Proficiency requirements or those under which they entered. 1. SCALES: Minimum tempo – Quarter note = 60

A. All major and minor scales, two octaves, hands separately, from memory. 2. CHORD PROGESSIONS: Minimum tempo – Quarter note (each chord) = 60

From memory. For all progressions the left hand will play the bass line and right hand will play the chords.

A. I-IV-I6/4-V7-I chord progressions in the major keys of C, G, D, F, Bb and the minor keys of a, e b, d, g. B. Inversions of I-IV-I6/4-V7-I progressions in the major keys of C, G, D, F, Bb. C. Root position I-vi-ii-V-V7-I progressions in C, G, D, F, Bb.

22

7. IMPROVISATION Play an original improvisation, two to three minutes in length, on a given bass line or given chord symbols. The student may be asked to improvise further in the same or another style at the exam. 8. PREPARED ACCOMPANIMENT: Should be played at the marked tempo.

Demonstrate the ability to accompany a vocal or instrumental soloist at performance tempo. Voice students should accompany a vocalist; instrumental students should accompany an instrumentalist, preferably one playing their own performance instrument. Solos should be chosen from standard performance or teaching literature such as the Rubank Elementary Series or the 26 Italian Songs and Arias.

ACCOMPANISTS Unlike most schools of music, the Adams State Music Department does not require music students to pay for their accompanists. This service is provided at departmental expense. Accompanists will be available the final eight weeks of each semester, and will provide one hour of service per week per student: one half hour during the student’s applied lesson and one half hour of individual rehearsal time that will be scheduled by the department. Music minors will receive two hours of accompanying time: one hour to prepare for their student recital performance and the other prior to their jury. Students are responsible for attending all individual rehearsal sessions with their accompanists. If they are unable to make that appointment, they must contact their accompanist before that session. Multiple absences will be reviewed by the applied teacher and department chair to determine further actions. It is not the responsibility of the accompanists to make up any missed rehearsal sessions or lessons, regardless of prior notification. DEGREE PLAN The degree plan is your record of the remaining classes that you must pass to complete your degree. Degree forms are available in the Music Office. An unofficial copy of your transcript must be requested from the Records Office. An unofficial degree plan should be completed in conference with your advisor each semester. Sample degree check sheets are available in this Handbook. When you have completed most of your course work and you and your advisor have completed the degree plan, obtain the signatures of the Department Chair, then return the signed form to the Records Evaluator. The completed degree plan is the official document concerning the work that remains to complete your degree, and will help you make necessary plans to complete all courses and proficiencies required for graduation. A final degree check sheet must be approved by your advisor and the Department Chair no later than the end of the semester prior to graduation (December for May graduation). This will serve as the final degree check for all remaining requirements for graduation. GRADUATION APPLICATION

You must also file an application for graduation with the Records Evaluator. A copy of the graduation application must be brought to the Administrative Assistant in the Music Office for inclusion in your file.

CAREERS IN THE ARTS In metro Denver alone there are 4,000 full-time jobs in the arts, with an annual aggregate payroll of over $51 million. Careers in the arts exist in every Colorado community. The changing workplace is shifting our view of education. Today's and tomorrow's workers must be multi-skilled, multi-dimensional, and intellectually flexible. Knowledge is the new wealth and the arts build ideas and nurture a place in the mind for them to grow. The cutting edge worker in the Information Age Economy is thus the "knowledge worker," a continuous and highly adaptable learner who possesses a wide range of skills. An education in the arts addresses and can deliver precisely these kinds of skills. Students of the arts outperform their non-arts peers on the Scholastic Achievement Test. SAT scores are consistently 50 or more points higher on the verbal and 44 points higher on the math portion than students with no coursework or experience in the arts. With the emphasis on creative discovery and the ability to stimulate a variety of learning styles, the arts engender enthusiasm and motivation for learning. The arts also teach the value of sustained effort to achieve excellence.
