Welcome to the TWU Music Department: On behalf of the music faculty of TWU, I extend a cordial welcome to all new students and a welcome back to continuing students. This handbook contains information on general department policies, procedures, and requirements, as well as specific curricular requirements for each of the music programs offered at TWU. You are responsible for the information contained herein, so take the time to become familiar with it and do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have. Although you will be assigned a faculty advisor based on your particular major, keep in mind that their role is advisory only; as a student you are ultimately responsible for awareness and completion of the requirements for your particular program. Note that requirements change periodically as programs are developed to reflect new standards, state guidelines, and current practice in the field. There exists a possibility that the degree plan in effect when you first enroll at TWU will be modified to some extent over time, for example, when a new course replaces an existing course and the latter is no longer offered. You are expected to schedule an appointment with your advisor each semester for registration advising and reviewing progress toward your degree. Be sure you are familiar with the TWU core curriculum and graduation requirements. The Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS), accessible through the TWU portal account, allows undergraduates to follow their progress towards fulfillment of degree requirements. A DARS audit form (form available on music website) must be completed in consultation with your advisor and filed with the university a year prior to graduation. Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, 1:30-2:30, is recital hour and must be kept free of classes and lessons by undergraduate music majors. All music students should get in the habit of checking your TWU email account and the department bulletin boards on a regular basis for announcements that pertain to you. Be sure to complete a student information form for your department file at the beginning of each semester and return it to Lori Richman in the Music Office. The music faculty is dedicated to assisting you in reaching your educational and professional goals. Do not hesitate to approach the faculty for assistance or guidance with questions or concerns that may arise. Sincerely, Dr. Pamela Youngblood Professor of Music Chair, Department of Music & Drama

ADVISING x x

Music majors are assigned an advisor within the music department. Undergraduate advisors are listed on p. 17. Students should schedule a meeting with their advisor prior to registration for the next semester. Students should not alter their schedules without consulting their advisor.

COURSE TRANSFER CREDIT Initial transfer evaluations are completed through the Office of Admissions for students who are transferring from another school. Due to the wide variety of music course titles, credit assignments, etc. used by different schools, students should confer with their music advisor regarding their particular music course transfer status. Students who wish to transfer music courses from other accredited universities while enrolled at TWU must receive prior approval from their advisor and the department chair. PETITION FOR ADMISSION AS A MUSIC MAJOR x

x

x x x x

Students seeking admission for an undergraduate music degree must submit a Petition for Full Admission as a Music Major during their first year of study, following completion of at least one semester of study at TWU or, for part-time students, following completion of at least 12 credit hours at TWU (Petition for Full Admission to Music Major). International students must present TOEFL scores prior to petition for admission if their chosen academic track is music therapy. This applies to all students for whom English is not their first language, even if students were otherwise exempt from the TOEFL requirement for admission to TWU. This requirement helps to assure that English proficiency is strong enough for International students to complete the CBMT certification exam successfully upon graduation. Failure to present TOEFL scores at the time of petition will result in deferral or denial of the petition. Required TOEFL scores for admission to the music therapy major track are: 550 paper, 213 CBT, 79 IBT. These scores may be submitted to the Coordinator of Music Therapy. Students are then admitted, denied admission, or deferred admission. Students who fail to petition in a timely manner may be considered deferred or denied upon recommendation of the faculty. Deferred students must re-submit their petitions for reconsideration no later than the same long semester (Fall or Spring) of the succeeding academic year, observing the submission deadline for petitions. Students who do not achieve major status after two petitions may pursue a music minor program of study but cannot pursue a major in music. Upon full admission as music majors, students must maintain the minimal GPA requirement for their area of emphasis, and continue to meet all of the criteria set forth in the rubric designed for Admission as a Music Major.

PLACEMENT EXAMINATIONS • •

x

All students new to TWU must audition on their major instrument not later that the first week of the semester to determine their performance level and instructor assignment; specific scheduling varies according to instrument. Vocal concentration majors must demonstrate sight-singing competency in one of two ways: 1) Achieve a “B” average or above in the sight-singing tests in MU 1531 Aural Skills II; 2) For students who have completed the equivalent of MU 1531 Aural Skills II, pass a departmental sight-singing exam. Students who do not pass the sight-singing placement exam must complete remedial work (i.e., retake MU 1531 with an average of a “B” or higher in sight-singing portion) prior to their final semester of coursework. Music fundamentals/theory/sight singing assessments are administered to new students on the

6

Saturday prior to the beginning of the semester and at the music scholarship auditions. Music history and theory exams for transfer students who have completed a two-year undergraduate theory/aural skills sequence, and/or a one-year music history sequence are administered on the Saturday prior to both the Fall and Spring semesters. A piano placement exam for transfer students and new students with some piano training is administered on the Saturday preceding the Fall and Spring semesters via individual appointment. Auditions will be held for vocal concentration majors on the Thursday morning prior to the beginning of classes for the purpose of determining placement in lessons or voice class. Only those incoming voice students who are already placed in a vocal studio are exempt from this audition. All students new to TWU must audition on their major instrument not later that the first week of the semester to determine their performance level and instructor assignment; specific scheduling varies according to instrument. Vocal concentration majors must demonstrate sight-singing competency in one of two ways: 1) Achieve a “B” average or above in the sight-singing tests in MU 1531 Aural Skills II; 2) For students who have completed the equivalent of MU 1531 Aural Skills II, pass a departmental sight-singing exam. Students who do not pass the sight-singing placement exam must complete remedial work (i.e., retake MU 1531 with an average of a “B” or higher in sight-singing portion) prior to their final semester of coursework.

PIANO PROFICIENCY x x x x

x

The piano proficiency requirement is satisfied by successful completion of MU 2081 Keyboard Musicianship IV, required of all undergraduate music majors. Students entering with previous piano experience may be waived from one or more of the four Keyboard Musicianship classes dependent on results of the piano placement exam. Students transferring in the equivalent of the entire Keyboard Musicianship sequence (I – IV) are required to successfully complete MU 2081 Keyboard Musicianship IV at TWU or pass the piano proficiency exam at TWU. Students with piano as primary instrument must complete a piano proficiency exam administered as part of the jury examination during Fall semesters (in the student’s second or third semester at TWU depending on whether she or he began in a Fall or a Spring semester); if this assessment is not passed, then the student will enroll in MU 2081 Keyboard Musicianship IV during the subsequent Spring semester to satisfy the requirement. Music education students must complete the piano proficiency requirement prior to student teaching. Music therapy students must complete the piano proficiency requirement prior to the Level 3 music therapy practicum. Music performance students must complete the piano proficiency requirement prior to their senior recital. Liberal arts-music students must complete the piano proficiency requirement prior to the semester of their final project.

You may use the score in the exam; it is not necessary to play the repertoire pieces from memory PERFORMANCE EXAMINATION (JURIES) x x x x

All students taking applied music lessons as degree candidates in music, or music minors, will take a final examination jury each semester. Students who give a solo recital or lecture/recital or perform at the Honors Recital will be exempt from juries during the semester of their performance. All repertoire that includes a keyboard accompaniment must be performed with an accompanist at juries. Jury exams are graded on a pass/fail basis. The voice juries are graded with a averaged numerical grade as well, which counts towards 20% of the final course grade. Students should consult with their studio teacher early in the semester to determine their jury requirements.

PERFORMANCE MAJOR BARRIER EXAM x x x x x x

Undergraduate students desiring to major in performance will be admitted to the performance track provisionally until they have successfully completed the performance major barrier exam. The performance barrier exam must be successfully completed during the fourth semester of study for entering freshman and by the second semester of study for undergraduate transfer students. This exam will be performed mid-semester during a 1:30 pm recital hour time for a panel of three fulltime faculty who represent all areas of applied study (keyboard, instrumental, and vocal) assembled specifically for this purpose. Students will prepare 5-7 minutes of material for the exam. Students can only take the exam once. Students who do not pass the exam can continue to major in music (e.g., music education, music therapy, music-liberal arts, pedagogy), but cannot pursue a major in music performance at TWU.

APPLIED LESSONS

Repertoire and Technical Qualifying Exams The minimum performance requirement for all undergraduate degrees (with the exception of performance majors who must attain Level 5) is successful completion of the Repertoire Qualifying Exam (RQE) and the Technical Qualifying Exam (TQE). Students must pass these exams before Level 3 practicum (music therapy majors), student teaching (music education majors), or senior project (liberal arts-music majors). The studio instructor of a student intending to take the RQE or TQE must notify the appropriate area coordinator by mid-semester. These exams cannot be taken during a student’s first semester at TWU. Students are encouraged to wait until their second semester of study at TWU before attempting the RQE and TQE. Minimum Lesson Requirements All undergraduate music majors must be enrolled for private studio instruction on their major instrument until they have passed the Repertoire and Technical Qualifying Exams (or Level 5 for performance majors) and have completed the required number of jury examinations and semester credit hours for the concentration, according to the requirements of their degree plan. Periodic studio classes, where multiple students meet and perform for one another, are included as part of studio instruction on all instruments and voice. Levels of Registration x x

Freshmen and all students with 60 or fewer earned credit hours taking private lessons should register for the 2000 level of instruction. Students with more than 60 earned credit hours should register for the 4000 level of instruction.

Individual Applied Lessons x

x

Applied lessons in a student’s area of instrumental or vocal concentration are required for all music majors as part of their degree plans. Music majors who do not have a concentration in an applied instrument or voice (e.g., piano majors who wish to study voice) and non-music majors are encouraged to take class instruction courses (e.g., keyboard music, voice class). Students who wish to have individual lessons in an area that is not their concentration will be required to audition for the music faculty at the beginning of the semester for approval to receive individual lessons. Approval for individual lessons will be based, in part, on the availability of appropriate faculty to teach those lessons.

VOICE PERFORMANCE PROFICIENCY LEVELS Voice performance levels are used in order to rate, track and record the progress of students whose primary instrument is voice. Assigned scores should reflect the skills of the student as demonstrated in the juried performance only, and take into account all facets of vocal study including vocal technique, diction, musicianship, and performance. The specific pieces listed below are examples of the minimum requirements for each level, and are not inclusive.

The recital time (afternoon or evening) is left to the discretion of the studio teacher and is subject to facility availability. All special technical requests regarding lighting, sound, set up, etc., must be submitted to the MJPH Technical Director on the appropriate form at least two weeks prior to the scheduled event. Post-recital receptions are the responsibility of the student. The kitchen in MJPH can be used for storage and preparation of refreshments. Cleanup is the student’s responsibility.

GRADING PRACTICE FOR MUSIC MAJORS Undergraduate music majors must earn a minimum of “C” in all course work in music (MU prefix). Students receiving a grade of “D” or “F” must repeat the music course, if applied to the degree program. Music education and music therapy majors are expected to achieve and maintain an academic grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 in their major coursework (e.g., music education, music therapy). More specifically, music education students are expected to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.75, with no grade below B in all music education courses and music therapy students are expected to maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0, with no grade below B in all music therapy courses before enrolling for internship. Music performance and music-liberal arts majors are expected to achieve and maintain a minimum overall academic grade point average of 2.75, which is required for full admission to the music major. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY The department of music actively supports the values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. Refer to the TWU Student Handbook for detailed information regarding student conduct. Honesty in completing assignments is essential to the mission of the university and to the development of the personal integrity of the student. Academic dishonesty of any type, including cheating, plagiarism, failing to give credit to composers or authors, copying, falsifying, or engaging in any other form of dishonesty will not be tolerated and will result in appropriate sanctions that may include failing an assignment, failing the class, or being suspended or expelled. Suspected cases in this course may be reported to Student Life. The specific disciplinary process for academic dishonesty is found in the TWU Student Handbook. Tools to help avoid plagiarism are available through the TWU Libraries at: http://www.twu.edu/library/tutorial/plagiarism/player.html. LOST & FOUND Items found in the Music Building and in Margo Jones Performance Hall should be brought to the Music Office. Check with Lori Richman in the Music Office to claim a lost item. Unclaimed items are disposed of each summer. STUDENT LOUNGE The Student Lounge (Room 104) is available for use by all music students. The facility can be used for receptions and meetings when cleared through the Music Office. Do not leave valuables unattended in this lounge. A limited number of lockers are available for student use. These are assigned on a firstcome, first-served basis. Locks must be removed at the end of each academic year unless other arrangements are made with the Music Office. Please assist in keeping the lounge clean and neat. PRACTICE ROOMS

The Music Department provides, for the educational use of students, many high quality pianos, wind, string, and percussion instruments, as well as computers and other classroom and lab equipment. It is a violation of TWU’s Student Code of Conduct to damage or otherwise misuse TWU property, for which sanctions may be imposed ranging from warning or loss of privileges to suspension or expulsion. Nothing is to be placed on pianos other than sheet music. Students are NOT permitted to place food, drinks, books, backpacks, clothing, or any other items on the pianos. Violations observed in this regard should be reported to the Music Office, Rm. 114, or call (940) 898-2500, immediately. PIANO/COMPUTER LAB The piano/computer lab, located in Room 220, is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The computers and keyboards in the lab are available for use by individual students during these hours except when classes requiring use of the lab are scheduled. The class schedule is posted on the lab door. For evening and weekend computer use, there are several open access computer labs located throughout the University with extended evening and weekend hours. Food and beverages are not allowed in the lab. SECURITY Direct phone lines to the Department of Public Safety (DPS) are found on the main floor (next to the elevator), in the inner lobby of Margo Jones Performance Hall, and in the third floor hallway (mid-way). These phones can be used for any reason that requires police assistance. Leaving the phone off the hook will bring an officer to the location.
