��Ϻ��Ƶ Music Student Handbook

Seventh Edition, 2021

Preface

The Music Handbook no longer exists as a hard-copy printed publication. It now exists in virtual form on this website. (Students may print their own copies of these pages, if they wish.)

The purpose of this Handbook is to provide general clarification of policies and procedures that have been used by the Department in the past but have never been comprehensively stated for the benefit of new and returning students. The Handbook is designed primarily for the guidance of undergraduate students majoring in Music. It may not (does not) directly address issues relating to graduate students or non-music majors.

Although most of the policies contained here are familiar to current students, some policies have been clarified with respect to participation in large ensembles, preparation for junior and senior recitals, and attendance requirements for Departmental recitals and convocations.

Modifications of policies contained in this Handbook may be made at any time. Announcements of such changes will be posted on departmental bulletin boards, announced at Town Meeting convocations or brought to student's attention by their academic advisor or private lesson teacher.

Suggestions for improving the usefulness of this Handbook are actively sought. The Department appreciates being informed of any typographical errors, and also appreciates comments on how this document can be improved. Send your suggestions to semcconnell@alaska.edu.

Policies and Procedures Relating to Undergraduate Music Degree Programs

The following information has been compiled for informational purposes only. Not all details about undergraduate degree programs are discussed here.

For more detailed information consult your advisor and the ��Ϻ��Ƶ Catalog at:
https://uaf.edu/catalog

Although every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of this Handbook, ��Ϻ��Ƶ and the Music Department reserve the right to make changes to policy at any time.

The Department offers the following undergraduate programs of study:

Bachelor of Arts in Music
Bachelor of Music in Music Education (K-12)
Bachelor of Music in Music Performance

The Bachelor of Arts in Music is a liberal arts degree with an academic focus in either composition, music theory or music history. The degree allows the student to complete an academic minor in a subject area other than music and has a Senior Capstone Project. Students graduating with this degree are able to pursue many different paths, i.e. continuing on to graduate degree programs in music history, composition or music theory, or, if minoring in business, pursuing a career in arts management. A traditional liberal arts degree, the Bachelor of Arts in Music can also serve as an entry point to other fields and careers.

The Bachelor of Music in Music Education is a professional degree designed to prepare students for careers in music education. It leads students not only to completion of a degree, but also to professional certification as teachers for the State of ��Ϻ��Ƶ public schools. Students graduating with the BM Degree in Music Education often find employment in the ��Ϻ��Ƶ Public School System.

The Bachelor of Music in Performance concentrates on the intense preparation required for professional music performance. Two solo recitals, a Junior and a Senior, must be presented by the student for completion of this degree program. Many students who graduate with this degree continue onto graduate-level study in music performance and obtain career positions with professional orchestras, ensembles, and arts organizations .

Procedures for Admission as a Music Major

New students desiring to become music majors should contact the Music Department Office (474-7555 or uaf-music@alaska.edu). They will be referred to a faculty member who will conduct a preliminary interview and evaluation.

New students must file an Application for Admission through the ��Ϻ��Ƶ Office of Admissions and apply for a February audition at uaf.edu/music.

Auditions for entrance into a degree program in music occur the last weekend of February.

Students can either audition in person or send a DVD by mail or digital video files through the internet. While these formats are accepted, it is strongly suggested that students audition in person whenever possible.

The audition must include two contrasting pieces; they do not need to be performed from memory.

To be placed appropriately within the Department, students must demonstrate by performance audition that they have reached an acceptable level of performance ability on their principal instrument.

After the February audition, students will be notified whether they have been accepted into a music degree program.

If a student has been admitted, but has not been accepted into a degree program, he/she may register in the Fall as a provisional music student with the understanding that he/she will audition again for a degree program in February of that academic year.

Students entering as prospective music students are given music diagnostic examinations in Music Theory and Ear Training. Based on the results of these examinations, students will be placed in MUS 131 Basic Music Theory and MUS 133 Basic Ear Training or, if needing more review and background, placed in MUS 103 Fundamentals of Music.

Prior to taking the exam, students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with basic written theory, i.e. scales, keys and triads. The following textbook is recommended: The Musician’s Guide to Theory and Analysis 4th ed by Jane Piper Clendinning and Elizabeth West Marvin. Students are also encouraged to take piano lessons to increase their general level of piano proficiency.

Advice for New College Students

Students who are new to college life sometimes have difficulty adjusting to the structured nature of college-level study.

If you are having difficulty keeping up with the pace of a class or individual lessons:

Make an appointment to see your instructor outside of class.
Find a tutor or specialist on campus to help you with your studies.
Demonstrate initiative in trying to resolve your specific situation.
Use your fellow students as study buddies.
Use upper-classmates as mentors.

Take the freshman workshops offered on campus to help you develop study skills and time management.

Communicate early and often with your instructors so that they can help you before a crisis occurs.

General Advice for Students

Generally speaking, 100, 200, 300 and 400 level courses are best taken in the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years, respectively.

However, transfer students, music education majors, and students enrolled in MUS 103 Fundamentals of Music their first year may require an extra semester or year of study.

Students desiring to complete a degree program in four years should plan to carry a full course load each semester.

Students will be required to repeat courses in their major if they receive a grade lower than a C, i.e. a C- or lower.

If performing poorly in a class, make an appointment as soon as possible with your instructor to resolve the issue.

For each semester of study, students should meet with their advisors to review their progress. Consult the checklist in Degree Works often.

Students may be exempted from a specific course if the instructor is willing to state in a petition that the student has achieved the minimum competency required. However, the student will not receive credit for the course.

Students may elect to earn class credit through the Credit-by-Examination option. For this option, the student fills out a form at the Registrar's Office and pays a fee. The instructor gives the student an examination and sends the grade result to the Registrar.

Transfer students may also petition to request exemption from a course based upon the justification that they have completed the course at another university. Students must supply documentation to support their request.

Piano Proficiency Requirement

Keyboard skills are a necessary component of any serious music study. They assist the student in reading musical scores, benefit studies in music theory and ear training, and are an invaluable tool for students preparing to be future teachers.

There are two possible pathways for completion of the Piano Proficiency
Requirement:

Functional Piano: Four consecutive semesters of MUS 152, 153, 154 and 155.** The series must be taken in sequence. In order to advance to the next level, the student must receive a passing grade (C).
**Students enrolled prior to the 2021-2022 academic year only have three semesters of Functional Piano.

The student MUST be enrolled in MUS 131 to enroll in MUS 152.
Exam: The Exam is designed only for students who have taken over five years of private piano lessons and play at an upper intermediate level. An appointment to test out can be made at any time during the semester, but is strongly encouraged during the first year of study.

Both pathways require instructor permission. The instructor will interview each prospective new or transfer student either at the entrance audition in February OR at the beginning of the Fall semester. The instructor will decide the best pathway for each student at that time.

Functional Piano is designed to be taken during the first year of study in conjunction with MUS 131 Basic Music Theory I. If the student is enrolled in Music Fundamentals (MUS 103X) it is highly suggested that they also enroll in Class Piano (MUS 151).

After completing the Functional Piano series or the Exam, the student enrolls in MUS 253 Piano Proficiency. This is a zero credit, pass/fail, class that makes it clear on your transcript that you have passed the Piano Proficiency requirement. It must be completed before the student's Senior Recital.

Student teaching cannot be scheduled until the Piano Proficiency Requirement is completed.

Advice Regarding Possible Withdrawal From Courses

Students may drop a course up to the deadline date set by the institution. Attempts to drop a course after the posted date may be denied. Consult your course instructor and advisor early if a course needs to be dropped.

Instructors are permitted to give an Incomplete grade only if the student:

has substantially participated in more than half of the course,
has earned a C grade in the course up to that point, or
when a sudden emergency has prevented the student from completing the course on schedule.

Incomplete grades must be completed within a year or else they are automatically converted to an F grade.

A student whose overall grade point average drops below 2.00 is placed on academic probation for one semester and may be disqualified from the University if the grade point average is not raised to a 2.00 during the following semester.

This information is not a substitute for regulations and policy contained in the ��Ϻ��Ƶ Catalog which can be found here: . Students are advised to consult the catalog and speak to their advisor for further questions and clarifications.

Required Participation in Music Performance Ensembles

There are two types of music performance ensembles at the ��Ϻ��Ƶ Department of Music:

Large Ensembles:
MUS 117 - Northern Lights String Orchestra
MUS 203 - Fairbanks Symphony Orchestra
MUS 205 - Wind Ensemble/Wind Symphony
MUS 211 - Choir of the North
Small Ensembles:
MUS 307 - Chamber Music

All students enrolled in private lessons must be enrolled in a large or small ensemble for credit.

All undergraduate music majors are required to complete a minimum number of large ensemble credits to meet their curriculum requirements at ��Ϻ��Ƶ.

The minimum required number of ensemble credits varies depending upon the degree program. Please consult your advisor.

Large and small ensembles may not be audited.

MUS 307 Chamber Music is not a substitute for the Large Ensemble credit, except for piano majors who may substitute up to two credits of MUS 307 Chamber Music - Accompanying for two credits of the Large Ensemble requirement.

In addition to weekly rehearsals, students registered in music ensembles are required to participate in all concert and recital performances presented by that ensemble. Failure to participate will likely result in an F grade for the course.

Non-music majors are encouraged to participate in Large Ensembles and must be enrolled for credit.

A student whose principal performing instrument is a band or orchestral instrument may be required to participate in a Large Ensemble at the discretion of the directors involved.

Private Lesson Study

Without exception, students who are unable to read music notation will not be admitted to private lesson study.

An essential part of all undergraduate music programs is private lesson study (sometimes referred to as Applied Music).

There are additional fees for private lessons. See the ��Ϻ��Ƶ Catalog: for information on fees.

Admission to private lesson study is by audition only. Permission from the instructor is required.

Admission to a Music degree requires an audition.

As stated previously, students enrolled in private lessons must enroll in an ensemble class.

Every student enrolled in Private Lessons at the 261 level, or higher, must appear on at least one Music at One recital as a soloist during each semester of study.

Space on Music at One is limited, so priority is given to full-time music majors requiring lessons in their principal instrumental area.

Students who do not meet these requirements, or who are not music majors, are encouraged to enroll in MUS 151 Class Lessons.

With the exception of harp, piano and percussion, all music students are expected to own their own instruments.

Students are required to enroll in and pass MUS 190 Recital Attendance the designated number of semesters specified in their degree program. See Music at One Recital Attendance Requirement section in the handbook.

Different music degree programs require different levels of private lesson completion and a different number of credits. Please consult the ��Ϻ��Ƶ catalog and your advisor.

The difference between a two or four-credit lesson is on the quantity and difficulty of the music learned, not on the length of the lesson. Four credit lessons are required for upper-class level (junior and senior standing) for BM Education and BM Performance Majors to fulfill credit requirements.

It is important that students attend each scheduled lesson. If illness forces cancellation of a scheduled lesson, the student should contact the instructor as soon as possible.

Lessons are made-up at the discretion of the instructor.

Music at One Recital Performance Requirement

Music at One is a weekly student recital that normally takes place at 1:00 p.m. each Thursday. There are two student requirements regarding the Music at One Recitals. The first part is a Music Performance requirement, and the second part is the Recital Attendance requirement.

Each student enrolled in Private Lessons at the 261 level, or higher, must appear on at least one Music at One recital as a soloist during each semester of study.

Students must fill out a Music at One Recital Request Form which can be found here.

Please fill out ALL of the required information as accurately as possible. Approval of the accompanist (if applicable) and private instructor are required. Works should be no longer than 8 minutes, unless approved by the Music at One coordinator, Instructor Dowgray. It is strongly suggested that students do not wait until the end of the semester to perform.

Students may not play any music at a Music @ 1 recital that they plan to play at their end-of-semester jury. However, the practice of playing previous jury music at Music @ 1 in a following semester is highly encouraged. This can be a great way for students to gain performing experience and fulfill their Music @ 1 requirement early in the semester when there tends to be more availability. The faculty encourages students to run recital repertoire at Music @ 1 to aid in the preparation process. Please note that at the 261 level and above, students who do not perform a recital cannot receive a passing jury grade without a successful Music @ 1 performance.

At the beginning of the semester forms must be turned in at least one week prior to the performance, however, it is highly encouraged that students plan their performance further in advance and submit a request form as early as possible. For dress and recital etiquette, students are advised to consult their private instructors.

Student recitals are recorded by the Music Department and stored on a digital drive. If you would like access to these files, you may contact Scott Hansen: sshansen2@alaska.edu.

Music at One Recital Attendance Requirement

Music at One is the name for student recitals that normally take place at 1:00 p.m. on Thursdays. Please see the Music at One Recital Attendance Requirement section in the handbook. All Music Majors & Minors are required to enroll in and pass MUS 190 Recital Attendance the designated number of semesters specified for each degree program. MUS 190 Recital Attendance exposes students to a variety of musical experiences from an audience perspective and encourages support amongst members of the department with the intent of cultivating critical listening skills and heightened community
through music.

To pass MUS 190, students must sit as an audience member in a minimum of ten (10) Music-Department-sponsored concerts or recitals over the course of a semester. The Music Office has a list of concerts that qualify for meeting the recital attendance requirement. Off-campus performances and non-musical on-campus performances cannot be substituted for attending qualified Music Department related events. Students may not include in the recital count those programs in which they perform on stage, except for Music at One programs if they remain in the audience for the remaining part of the program.

In addition to concert attendance, students must also attend two (2) practicums each semester. Information on how to sign up for these practicums will be made available at the beginning of each semester by instructor Sean Dowgray.

Students indicate their presence at an event by handing in a Recital Attendance Card to a faculty member at the end of the event; this includes those performing on Music at One. Students may NOT turn this card in to office staff. After the student's presence is recorded, the card will be returned to the "card box" by the Music Department Office door. Students will receive a notification via email that their attendance has been recorded and their card returned to the card box. The student should retrieve the card and use it again for the next event. Extra cards are available if the card is lost.

The Department will not "excuse" students from attending the minimum number of required events. Work schedules, class conflicts, illness, unexpected concert cancellations, to name but a few, do NOT count as acceptable excuses. Unusual problems, which could prevent a student from meeting the course requirements, should be brought to the attention of the course instructor at the beginning of the semester.

Students who fail to meet the MUS 190 Recital Attendance requirements will have their Applied Lesson grade lowered by one letter.

It is strongly encouraged that students plan to attend as many concerts as possible early in the semester so that if they are prevented from attending a concert later in the semester, they will still pass the class. It is the student's responsibility to foresee any scheduling problems and compensate accordingly by attending other events.

From time to time, the Music Department may convene Town Meetings (convocations) for music students to discuss important changes of policy or other matters. They are commonly held at the beginning of each semester and attendance is required. Recital Attendance credit is given for Town Meeting convocations.

It is the student’s responsibility to read the Music 190: Recital Attendance Course Syllabus located on the course Blackboard page as well as outside the Music Office and make sure they understand all the details of this course. Contact the course instructor, Sean Dowgray: sdowgray@alaska.edu with any questions.

End-of-Semester Juries

All students enrolled in private lessons are required to perform an end-of-semester jury in a concert setting before a jury of faculty members.

Juries take place during the final examination week.

Students should sign up for an examination time on the sign-up sheet posted near the Music Office, Room 201, approximately ten days prior to the examination week.

The jury serves as a final examination for applied music study. Failure to take the jury examination is justification for failure of the course.

Criteria for letter grading of the jury examinations can be found on the Jury Examination Form for each individual discipline: brass, woodwind, strings, piano, percussion and voice.

The private instructor is allowed to raise or lower the jury grade by one letter grade. Adjustments of more than one letter grade must be approved by the Department Chair.

Students who fail to meet the MUS 190 Recital Attendance requirements will have their grade lowered by one letter.

A missed jury due to serious illness or a family crisis may be rescheduled for the following semester. See Incomplete Grade section.

If a student has performed a faculty-graded solo recital during the second half of the semester, a jury performance may be waived at the discretion of the instructor.

Normally, music majors are expected to advance to the next level of study if the previous level is successfully completed. However, the jury panel may decide to hold a student at level.

Prior to the jury, students will fill out a Repertoire Sheet and make at least 5 copies to distribute to the jury panel prior to the performance.

Requirements for jury performance differ for each discipline and degree program. Please see your private lesson instructor for jury requirements.

Jury performances are closed to the public.

Degree Recitals

All degree recitals must be prepared under the supervision of a ��Ϻ��Ƶ private lesson teacher.

Students must register for Junior and Senior recitals, MUS 390 Junior Recital and MUS 490 Senior Recital.

Students must first fill out an Application for Solo Recital Scheduling Form:

Juniors must have completed all of their lower division degree requirements in first- and second-year music theory, ear training and music history courses.
Juniors and Seniors must have completed the minimal Piano Proficiency requirements, as stated previously.
Transfer students must have completed a residency of at least two semesters of private lesson study at ��Ϻ��Ƶ to be eligible for a degree recital.

Reservations for solo recitals may be made after turning in the completed Application for Solo Recital Scheduling Form and Music Department Rooms Reservation Request Form to the Music Office Manager.

After the recital date has been reserved, fill out a Davis Concert Hall Event Planning Form, both sides.

Preparation of the printed program:

The Music Department has created a printed program design template that all students must use for their programs.
The template is obtained from the Forms page on this website.
The content of the printed program must be approved by the private teacher.
Student biographies are discouraged.
Supplementary program notes may be submitted along with the program template.
Printing of the program must be done by the Music Department.
The template includes all of the required acknowledgements that must be included on the program.

Publicity:

Printed posters may be posted on the Department and campus bulletin boards.
Any information about the performance should include the following: who, what, where, when, time of performance, the fact that the recital is sponsored by the University of ��Ϻ��Ƶ Fairbanks Department of Music in the College of Liberal Arts and the fact that there is no admission charge.
Posters and flyers must have the same sponsorship and AA/EO statements included in the template for the printed programs.
Students are responsible for the costs of printing their recital posters.

Recording the recital:

The Music Department records all student recitals.
Students should check with the Music Office as to the procedure for requesting a recording technician for their event.
Recitals are stored on a digital drive. If you would like access to these files, you may contact Gary Toth: gwtoth@alaska.edu or Sean Dowgray; sdowgray@alaska.edu.
A student may request that a copy be made for personal use. There is a small fee for the copy.

Grading the recital:

For degree-required recitals, each member of the faculty in attendance will submit a Pass/Fail grade to the Music Office.
