If a student presents a public recital after mid-term, the recital may be graded in lieu of a jury examination. It is the student's responsibility to request music faculty members to attend and grade the recital. A student is expected to advance at the rate of one proficiency level per year until the required exit level is achieved. A minimum of ten hours practice each week is required. The College takes no responsibility for students choosing this option.
Some examples are student recitals, faculty recitals, band concerts, and choir performances.
A list of approved performances will be posted on the Music Department Bulletin Board each week. If a student has an approved schedule conflict with recital class, he or she may make up the difference by adding any combination of on or off campus concerts. The student must have a signed and completed form turned in to the secretary in the Music Office before eight weeks into the semester. If the student is studying organ for the first time for college credit, no jury examination is required. The grade is determined by the teacher.
