All Music majors—except Piano Performance majors—must take the Piano Proficiency Exam<br />
demonstrating keyboard skill, receiving a ―Pass‖ on each of the exam‘s criteria. Further details<br />
about this exam are included in the Music Majors Handbook.<br />
All Music majors must present either a capstone presentation or a public recital featuring their<br />
talent (according to the degree requirements). Recital requirements vary between the different<br />
programs of study. Consult the Music Majors Handbook for specific guidelines.<br />
All Music majors must attend at least 80 percent of departmentally sponsored concerts and<br />
events during each semester of study.<br />
REQUIREMENTS FOR A BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE IN MUSIC<br />
This program of study provides the student with a broad, liberal arts based music education. The<br />
major consists of coursework in four (4) areas of study: 1) academic, 2) performance, 3) music<br />
electives, and 4) capstone presentation. The academic areas include music theory and music<br />
history. The performance component is composed of Piano Class (1-3) and applied lessons<br />
and/or ensemble. The Music electives consist of MUSI courses and may not be counted in the<br />
academic or performance areas. MUSI 4486 (Special Topics) may be taken multiple times for<br />
credit. The capstone presentation should be a senior-level investigation of a topic approved by<br />
the Music faculty. The successful capstone project should bring together each facet of the<br />
student‘s music education, and thus should be completed in the student‘s final semester. The<br />
student is encouraged to choose a complementary minor area of study. The student must adhere<br />
to all entrance/exit requirements common to all Music majors.<br />
