Registering for Classes It is imperative that you register at your assigned priority time during each registration period so that you receive the classes needed. Classes are canceled based on priority enrollments. Special Note: Students must register for applied music by the last day of class of the previous semester in order to guarantee space in their applied studio. If you need help determining your proper level of applied music (1xxx, 2xxx, etc.) refer to the catalog under “Music Courses,” consult your applied music teacher, or see your advisor. Department policy requires that all students involved in ensembles must be enrolled for credit. Music Course Offerings Schedule The schedule for undergraduate music course offerings may be downloaded from the Department of Music website at http://www.music.ucf.edu/students_classes.php. Please note that this schedule is subject to change, so you should consult the most recent version or your advisor before planning your courses. Applied Music Juries To understand how your grade in applied music will be determined, be sure to request the “jury requirements” from your applied music teacher at your first lesson. Scheduling a Recital See Appendix J for policies and procedures for scheduling student recitals. Music Forum (MUS 1010) The Department of Music and National Association of Schools of Music believe that experiencing an ongoing schedule of cross-disciplinary listening experiences is an important part of the education process for each of its majors. To fulfill this curricular objective, the Department of Music created Music Forum 1010, a series of special musical events required of all music majors. Forum is held every Tuesday/Thursday 12:00–1:15 in the Rehearsal Hall. Please refer to Appendix G for Music Forum Policies and Procedures.

OVERVIEW Congratulations! You are preparing to enter one of the most rewarding and important professions in the world. Every child deserves a great music teacher and therefore the mission of the Bachelor of Music Education (BME) program at UCF is to help future teachers become great music teachers through rigorous coursework and diverse development experiences. The BME program meets the State of Florida teaching licensure requirements for K-12 Music certification. In addition to General Education Program (GEP) courses, the BME program includes courses in music, general education, music education; two internship experiences; and field experiences.

BME ADVISEMENT The designated academic advisor for the Department of Music is Mr. Kirk Gay. His office is in PACM 207, and he can be reached at 407.823.5968 or [email protected]. Please see Mr. Gay for information about course selection and SASS audit questions. As Coordinator of Music Education, Dr. Kelly Miller is available to offer advisement in course selection. Her office is in PACM 224, and she can be reached at 407.823.4545 or [email protected]. Music Education faculty members, Dr. Scott Tobias and Dr. Ryan Kelly can also be reached for advisement in course selection.

SASS AUDIT Your SASS audit (record of academic progress) is available from https://my.ucf.edu/. If your audit is marked “Music Education Pending” at the top, please see Mr. Gay or Dr. Miller ASAP to determine what is necessary for you to do. Remember, ALL students begin with the status of “Music Education Pending” until they have achieved the requirements and passed into the Professional Program. CATALOG INFORMATION

UCF 2015/16 Music Student Handbook 24

Confirm your catalog year (shown at top of your SASS audit). It should reflect the semester you matriculated at UCF. Students who change degree programs and select this major must adopt the most current catalog year for each major. Please become familiar with all course and non-course requirements listed in your catalog (available at: http://www.ucf.edu/and searching “undergraduate catalog” for your catalog year). The current year is posted on the BME website. It is important that you follow the program in your catalog, not your audit, as audits are often inaccurate. You are responsible for knowing all program requirements. Course Changes In 2006, several new courses were created as part of BME program revision. Since many of the old courses are no longer offered, new courses may be used as course substitutes. Additionally, students completing AA degrees may have taken courses that are not offered at UCF. To see a list of acceptable course substitutions and changes, click on the following:

CURRICULUM Music Teaching Specialization As a music education major, you are asked to choose an area of specialization to receive additional studies in general, instrumental, and choral music. As a graduate of a state approved program, you will be qualified to apply for licensure that covers all K-12 music teaching scenarios, regardless of your declared specialization. Your teaching license will read “ Music K-12” and will not specify your area of specialization. It is becoming increasingly common for music educators in Florida to teaching in more than one area of specialization. Therefore, it is recommended that you take courses beyond your declared declare specialization. Students may select between one of three program tracks in regards to Music Education Specialty Area Courses and Professional Program Courses. They include: Program A – Instrumental, Program B – Choral, or Program C – Elementary. These options prepare students to teach music and conduct ensembles in the public schools. Course-Offering Schedule Make sure you are aware of when (what semester) courses are offered and of course prerequisites. You are responsible for knowing when courses are offered. Techniques and methods courses are not offered each semester. To see the music department course-offering schedule, see Mr. Gay or go to: http://www.music.ucf.edu/students_classes.php. Additionally, MVV 4640 (Program B – Choral) and MUE 4393 (Program C – Elementary) are offered in the spring every other year (EOY).

MUSIC EDUCATION FIELD EXPERIENCES (Observations, Professional Development Experiences, Teaching) Rationale There are many reasons why students majoring in music education should regularly be in K-12 music classrooms and attend teacher workshops and student events. Therefore documentation of field (classroom) experiences is required in all education and music education courses and is required to for admission to the BME Professional Program. Observing and assisting in diverse music classrooms provides future music teachers to personally experience the wide variety of music teaching opportunities that are available (e.g., elementary, secondary, alternatives to ensembles, choral, instrumental). Through completing course assignments, teaching private lessons, leading sectionals, and other assisting roles, students are able to develop teaching skills and a broader understanding of what a teacher does. Ultimately, engaging in diverse field experiences throughout the program helps music education students confirm their decision to continue with their career path, prior to the internship experiences in the final stages of the BME program. K-12 Observations As the BME degree includes several classes that require field hours, it makes sense for future music teachers to develop a plan for experiencing as many levels and types of k-12 music teaching experiences as possible. Pre-Kindergarten – grade 5 (elementary) Middle Level – grades 6 – 8 High School Instrumental Vocal/Choral Traditional Ensemble - beginning, intermediate, advanced Alternative Ensemble - jazz band,, show choir, Steel drum Middle/High Alternative experiences (class piano, music appreciation, world music, AP Theory) Urban

UCF 2015/16 Music Student Handbook 38

Experiencing a wide variety of music teaching opportunities allows future music teachers to see and consider the wide range of music teaching possibilities, observe varied teaching techniques and styles, and better understand the varied roles of music teachers. Music education students often do not realize all of their teaching options. This is especially true as Florida seeks to offer more ensemble alternative experiences in middle and high school. Observations should be as varied a possible, including at least one urban school. Professional Development Experiences While the coursework included in any BME program is designed to be rigorous and comprehensive, it cannot adequately prepare a music education major with all the knowledge and skill that is required of a highly effective music educator. Practicing music educators regularly engage in professional development experiences, such as short-term workshops, in-service days, weeklong workshops, and master’s degree programs. In addition, they regularly engage in informal professional development experiences through conversations with and observations of other music teachers and conductors. As a future music educator, you are expected to seek out and attend events designed for future teachers and practicing music teachers, such as Workshops for teachers Clinics for secondary ensembles Attending and assisting with All-county or All-State auditions, rehearsals and performances FMEA fall and January conference sessions. Please dress professionally when attending professional development experiences. Additionally, you are expected to read journals and discover on-line resources for music teaching. Attendance at any music professional development experiences should be documented using the Professional Development form and submitted as part of the Professional Program application. Professional Development Opportunities Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) Calendar of Music Events Osceola County Public Schools Calendar of Music Events Seminole County Public Schools (SCPS) Calendar of Music Events Orff Workshops Note: Approval by district personnel may be required to attend teacher workshops or assist with student events. For OCPS, check with Mr. Scott Evans [email protected]. Teaching BME students are encouraged to seek out K-12 teaching experiences that enhance coursework in the BME Program. Teaching private students Assisting with rehearsals and sectionals Teaching or assisting at A Gift for Music (string program for urban elementary schools in Orange County; for information, contact Eric Smith at [email protected]) Students who develop opportunities to teach in K-12 music settings during their program of study should not count more than 5 hours of teaching (including assisting with a marching band, teaching/assisting with A Gift for Music) in their documentation of 30 hours required for application to the Music Education Professional Program. Experiences should be documented using the Teaching Reflection form and submitted as part of the Professional Program Application.

UCF 2015/16 Music Student Handbook 39

Planning Field Experiences (Observing and/or teaching) During the first 45 hours of program study as a music education major at UCF, students are required to engage in and document at least 30 hours (10 per semester) of diverse music classroom experiences (e.g., elementary general, middle school, high school, jazz, class guitar, choral and instrumental ensemble experiences, and music performance assessments). 1. Observations and teaching experiences may be completed in any county or state. This will be helpful to those of you who seek to complete observations during holidays, summer, or visits home. 2. Classes with 45 – 60 minutes of instructional time count as an hour of observation. Classes of 30 – 40 minutes do not count as a complete hour. 3. When compiling all field experiences as part of the application into the Music Education Professional Program, you should include all events K-12 music classroom experiences that were implemented while enrolled in the BME program, regardless of location or use in other classes. 4. If you do not have enough time during the semester, you can plan to visit schools on UCF holidays, before UCF fall semester starts, and after UCF spring semester concludes. Documenting Field Experiences Maintain documentation of the experiences (what type of experience, when, who, where, what happened) using the appropriate forms (All forms are located and may be obtained from the BME Website): Music Education Field Experience Log – used to document all field experiences and professional development events Music Classroom Observation Form – used to describe what was observed and learned from K-12 music classroom observations Teaching Reflection Form – used to document what was learned from K-12 teaching experiences (e.g., teaching private students, teaching at A Gift for Music or leading sectionals, conducting an ensemble) Professional Development Participation Form - used to document what was learned at workshops, conference sessions, MPA, Solo and Ensemble Adjudications Visiting Schools in Orange (OCPS) and Seminole (SCPS) Counties It is permissible to observe any K-12 music teacher/classroom that is convenient to you. The closest schools to UCF are located in Orange and Seminole counties. Both counties require that you register as a volunteer if you are going to visit a school to observe or assist. You must register as a Volunteer for each school individually and cannot exceed a maximum of five schools within a given school year. Note that approval may take a while (often as much as a week) so plan ahead. If approved, you may visit and/or participate in a music class as long as the music teacher has given permission and is present. There is no fee involved in becoming a volunteer to observe and/or work with students in this capacity. Volunteers must register each year so do not assume that you are already registered. Students who are hired to work on campuses in any public school district in Florida must complete a different process that involves finger printing and fees.

UCF 2015/16 Music Student Handbook 40

Procedure for Choosing a School/Teacher and Becoming a Volunteer in Orange or Seminole Counties 1. Identify a school/music teacher that you would like to visit in the future. It can be in any location. It is important to contact the music teacher first to determine if you are welcome to visit. To locate schools in OCPS, go to: https://www.ocps.net/Parents/Pages/SchoolDirectory.aspx. The closest schools are located in the East Learning Community (East LS). To identify music teachers in Orange County: Go to the School’s individual website To locate schools in SCPS, go to: http://www.scps.k12.fl.us/ and click on “Schools” the left hand column. To identify music teachers in Seminole County: Click to download roster of SCPS Music Teachers or go to the School’s individual website 2. Identify the music teacher’s contact information through the school’s website. 3. Contact the music teacher to obtain permission to observe. Email is probably the best way to contact a teacher. In your message, include a proper greeting (and closure), introduce yourself, and ask if you may observe in one of their music classes. Communicate the days/times that you are available to arrange a mutually agreeable time that will work in their extremely busy schedule. Be professional, never demanding. Remember, they do not have to agree to allow you in their classroom. You are an ambassador for our program as well as yourself. Include your phone number and email. Be sure to contact the teacher at least a week in advance and then be patient. It may take the teacher a couple of days to respond to your message. 4. Explain that you need the teacher’s permission in order to proceed with registering as a volunteer for that school. Also explain that it make take as much as a week to become registered with the school/county. 5. Once you have the teacher’s permission to visit, you may proceed to register as a volunteer by going to the appropriate county’s website: OCPS https://www.ocps.net/es/cr/resources/Pages/ADDitions.aspx SCPS - https://www3.scps.k12.fl.us/secure/comminv_vol/vols2003/vollogin.cfm 6. Once the observation date and time have been confirmed, don’t forget to go. If for some unforeseen reason you have to cancel, please contact the teacher to explain and apologize. At the Site Visit 1. Dress professionally (not too cool and chic). Bring writing materials. 2. Arrive early. Allow time for getting lost and encountering traffic. It also may take some time to get through the procedures of the front office.

UCF 2015/16 Music Student Handbook 41

3. While there, take notes in order to complete the Music Classroom Observation Form. 4. After the observation, thank the teacher for the opportunity to observe the class (a personalized note would be even better). 5. If desired, request future opportunities. After the Visit 1. Maintain your log of music classroom observation/teaching experience. 2. Type responses to questions on the Music Classroom Observation Form. 3. Contact the teacher to express your appreciation for the opportunity to be his/her classroom. Please proof read to make sure you express yourself accurately (and grammatically proper).

9) Contact Mr. Parker in the Music Office (M203) with any questions about the status of your Forum credits and if you are uncertain whether a particular offcampus event will count for Forum credit

Grading This course is zero credit and is graded on an S (Satisfactory) or U (Unsatisfactory) basis. The basis of receiving a satisfactory grade is to attend a minimum of twelve (12) performances of the Thursday noon Forum Series, or approved substitutes. To fulfill this requirement a student may attend Forum Thursday from 12:00 to 1:15 PM, attend campus recitals and concerts at other times, or attend public performances off campus (see details below). Additionally, the student must return, renew or vacate all Music Department equipment as required by the posted deadline at the end of each semester. This includes university owned instruments, practice room keys, instrument storage lockers, etc. Any student who fails to satisfy this requirement by the end of the semester will receive an “I” for Forum. If after thirty (30) days the equipment is still not returned, renewed, or vacated, the “I” will convert to a “U.”

APPROVED Music Forum Events: Performances and presentations given at the 12:00 Thursday Forum Tuesday 12:00 performance DESIGNATED as Faculty Forum Event Music Department sponsored performances on campus presented by faculty artists or guest artists Off-campus performances by UCF Music faculty Professional jazz, solo, chamber music, orchestra, chorale, band, or opera Public performances at other colleges and universities High school band, jazz, orchestra, choir, or musical theatre performances Students whose names appear on the Thursday Honors Forum program (credit is recorded by the Music Office)

Events NOT APPROVED for Music Forum Credit: Tuesday noon student performances at area recitals Ensemble performances in which the student is a performer (except: Honors Forum) Athletic events Church services Off-campus performances in which there is no printed program Any event not sponsored by the UCF Music Department where live musical performance is not a primary function of the event. Tuesday student forums are an applied studio requirement and will not count for MUS 1010 credit unless the performance is clearly identified as an approved Faculty Forum Event.

“Forum Forgiveness” Students who receive a “U” in MUS 1010 because of insufficient Forum attendance may have the “U” changed to an “S” by attending extra approved Forum events during the

UCF 2015/16 Music Student Handbook 53

A student petitions for Forum Forgiveness by emailing a request to Mr. Kirk Gay at [email protected] no later than the last day of class of the subsequent semester, listing the number of events the student wishes to submit for Forum Forgiveness. It is the student’s responsibility to determine how many events are needed for Forum Forgiveness and to attend qualifying events. 2. An event cannot be used for Forum Forgiveness credit and Forum credit in the current semester, i.e., no “double dipping.” 3. All Forum Forgiveness events must be completed and petition made within the university window for grade changes; i.e., no later than the end of the subsequent semester. 4. Forum Forgiveness may not be used to change a MUS 1010 grade of “U” given because of failure to turn in or vacate university equipment. 5. A student may use Forum Forgiveness only ONCE to change MUS 1010 grade from “U” to “S”. UCF DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC FORUM LIST, FALL 2015 (Version 2.0 – Subject to Change)

Appendix J Department of Music Recital Procedures Permission to Schedule In order to schedule a recital in the Department of Music, a student must be enrolled for credit in applied music or MUS 3953 or MUS 4954 in the semester the recital will be given. The process begins with the student printing a Recital Hearing Request form (also available outside the Music Department Office) and following the step-by-step instructions on the form. Scheduling Deadlines See the Deadlines List on page 4 for two important recital scheduling deadline dates: The last day for scheduling a recital as well as the last day for presenting a recital in either the fall or spring semester. Prerequisites The following prerequisites must be met before a student will be allowed to schedule a degree recital: Completion of MUT 2127 with grade of “C” or better Completion of MVK 2122 (Class Piano IV) with grade of “C” or better Completion of MUH 3211/3212 with grade of “C” or better (Senior Recital only) Please consult with your applied music teacher and program advisor for any additional academic prerequisites to a degree recital. Complete and submit to your applied music teacher the Recital Hearing Approval Form (available in the Music office and on the Music web site). Your teacher must sign this document and then by your committee at the hearing (the hearing should be scheduled at least two (2) weeks before your recital). The form then goes to Professor Gay or Professor Moore for final approval of the recital. Junior Recital A Junior Recital is required of all BM in Performance, Jazz Studies and BME majors (except elementary track). A student with junior status may schedule a Junior Recital with the permission of the appropriate applied instructor and advisor. The recital should be predominantly (if not exclusively) a solo recital and should include approximately 30 minutes of music. Students are encouraged to “share” their Junior recital with another student. Students should register for MUS 3953 during the semester of the Junior Recital. Senior Recital A Senior Recital is required of all BM majors. A student with senior status may schedule a Senior Recital with the permission of the appropriate applied instructor and advisor. It should be predominantly a solo recital, but some chamber music may be included. Senior recitals should be approximately 45 minutes of music (30 minutes for composition majors). Students should register for MUS 4954 during the semester of the Senior Recital.

UCF 2015/16 Music Student Handbook 56

Composition students planning their Senior recital should submit a proposed program and representative scores for review and approval prior to the beginning of the semester of the recital (usually the preceding jury). Other Recitals Non-required, elective recitals may be scheduled with the permission of the appropriate applied instructor(s). Under no circumstances will an elective recital later be used to substitute for a required recital. Recital Hearing Complete and submit to your applied music teacher the Recital Hearing Approval Form (available in the Music office and on the Music web site). This document must be signed by your teacher, Professor Gay, and your program advisor at least two (2) weeks before your recital hearing. A Recital Hearing must be heard by a faculty committee 10–21 days before the scheduled recital date. The student must be prepared to perform the entire recital if asked by the committee. The faculty committee must be at least three music faculty, one of whom must be the applied music teacher and at least two of whom must be full-time music faculty. It is the student’s responsibility to schedule the Recital Hearing with the faculty committee and all performers in the recital. All performers must participate for the Recital hearing to be approved. The recital date will remain tentative until after this hearing, when the program will either be approved or not approved for presentation to the public. If the student does not pass the hearing, the student may re-apply for a second hearing to be held no sooner than two weeks from the original hearing date. In the case of a second failed hearing, the student will have to re-apply in the next semester. Recital Receptions Junior and Senior student recitalists may hold a post-recital reception in the Rehearsal Hall lobby provided the reception is requested on the Permission to Schedule form. Elective recitalists may not schedule such a reception. It is imperative that students clean up thoroughly after a recital reception. A cleaning fine of $100.00 will be levied on any student recitalist who does not satisfactorily clean up after her/his reception. The recital grade will not be processed until this fine is paid. Recital Location All undergraduate student recitals will be scheduled in the Rehearsal Hall unless circumstances warrant an alternative venue. The approval of the student’s applied music teacher and the department chair is necessary for the off-campus scheduling of a required student recital. Audio Recording Services The Department of Music will produce audio CD recordings of all on-campus degree recitals at no charge to the student. One copy will be retained by the Music Department for archival purposes, and one copy will be provided to the student. Students may purchase additional copies of their recital CD for $10.00 each. Copies may be purchased by other individuals only with the student’s permission. Students are responsible for making their own audio recording arrangements for elective or offcampus recitals.

UCF 2015/16 Music Student Handbook 57
