Juries
All students (majors, minors, and non-majors) taking Credit or Non-Credit private music lessons are required to perform a Jury at the end of each semester. Juries are held the day after the last day of semester classes and on a Saturday. Students may be excused from performing a Jury only if they have performed a recital during the semester (Music Majors only), or if they have been excused from Juries by their applied music instructor. Juries for Music Majors are ten minutes each; for non-Music Majors, they are five minutes in duration. The Jury schedule is posted on the bulletin board near the Music Office (Booker 120) during the last week of classes and e-mailed to all Music faculty. Each adjudicating student is required to complete a Student Repertoire Record form to bring to their Jury.
Expanded Jury - At the end of four (4) semesters of applied music study on their primary instrument, Music Majors are required to perform an Expanded Jury for the purpose of assessment. During this Jury, students are expected to perform 20 minutes of recital-quality material, presenting a varied program demonstrating their progress to date. The student provides a list (10 copies) of the works to be performed, including complete information for the repertoire, composers and their dates.
