Juries are no longer required for entrance to the performance
track.
Students interested in the performance track are strongly
encouraged to enroll in a recital preparatory class prior to
scheduling their junior recital. The recital prep class
is offered Winter Quarter, Fridays from 3:30–5:30 pm.
Before enrolling in the recital prep class, students should:
have completed 3 or more quarters of lessons
be recommended to the class by their applied teacher
(instrument or voice teacher)
be a declared music major who has completed Music 7A
After the recital prep class:
The student’s applied teacher will determine if the student
should schedule the junior recital.
Some students may need to seek alternatives to scheduling a
recital. The recital prep class and lessons can be very useful in
preparing a student to give a lecture/demonstration (as part of
their Music 195 senior capstone project for the
theatre/history/ethnomusicology track).
