Other Requirements for the B.A. Degree

Before students can be accepted into the B.A. degree, they must demonstrate, through audition, a repertory and technical proficiency sufficient to reasonably expect degree completion.

All students are expected to enroll in the appropriate Piano/Keyboard sequence during the first four semesters of study. A grade of “C” or better in each course demonstrates proficiency at that level. Students capable of playing the piano at an intermediate or higher level may take a Piano Placement Examination prior to their first enrollment to determine their eligibility to enroll in an appropriate level of Applied Piano as an alternative to the required Piano/Keyboard sequence.

Students in applied music progress according to stated repertoire commensurate with the level of study and as demonstrated in a juried performance. Access to upper division 3000 and 4000 level study and to the junior level recital is authorized by the division faculty upon completion of a juried performance at the preceding level with a grade of B or higher. Students enrolled in Junior Recital (MPER 3811 ) must pass a pre-recital jury at least two weeks prior to the recital. Each performance area will determine what literature is appropriate for junior level recitals.
