In this manner the music department will maintain a progressive record of the quality and quantity of repertoire studied by each student in applied music. Applied jury and repertoire forms are available in the MIDI lab. Repertoire for jury exams must be different from that performed in required Friday morning student recitals. Jury exams may include solo pieces, etudes, orchestral excerpts, scales, and other literature appropriate to the performance area. As with any formal performance, appropriate dress is in order.
Students performing a half or full solo recital are exempt from the jury exam during that semester.
First-semester students may be exempted from the jury exam by the applied instructor. The music faculty strongly believes that it is essential to the development of strong musical and performance skills for all students enrolled in required applied music courses to prepare and perform solo repertoire on a regular basis. First-semester students may be exempted from the jury exam by the applied instructor. If time permits, students are encouraged to perform more regularly. Although duets, trios, and other chamber experiences are impor tant to the development of a well-rounded musician, such perfor mances will not usually fulfill the student recital requirement for the semester.
