RECITAL PROCEDURES
Students who want to give a solo or chamber recital in Glenn Korff School of Music facilities, whether that recital is for degree credit or not, must follow certain rules and regulations. Off-campus recitals by School of Music students may be bound by certain stipulations as well.
Enrollment
Students must be concurrently enrolled in major applied lessons during the semester in which they give a degree recital. Non-degree recitals do not require enrollment, unless for some reason the student wishes to have the recital on their transcript.
Recital Course Numbers
The course number MUSR 90 (for zero credits) is used for the junior-year degree recital by BM and BA students on the performance track.
The course number MUSR 490 (for 1-3 credits) is used for the senior-year degree recital in applied music required by the BM degree in performance.
BME students use MUSR 90 (for zero credits) for their required degree recital.
Recital Sign-Up
Students doing a degree recital must sign up and register the date whether or not the recital will be on campus.
For fall-semester recitals, students and faculty are provided at the very beginning of the semester with a list of possible recital dates in either Kimball Recital Hall or Westbrook Recital Hall (WMB rm 119), and recital sign-up is scheduled for Week 3.
For spring-semester recitals, a list of possible dates is posted a few weeks before the end of the semester, and sign-up begins in Week 15 (the last week of classes) and run through the end of finals week.
Priority in scheduling goes to graduate students over undergraduates, and to degree recitals over non-degree recitals.
Sign-up itself unfolds over three days:
On the first day of recital sign up, graduate students may sign up for a recital for degree credit only.
On the second day of recital sign up, undergraduate students may sign up for a recital for degree credit only.
On the third day of recital sign up, any student may sign up for a non-degree credit recital.
On the appropriate sign-up day, students come to the Facilities Manager in WMB rm 119.1 with the date and time they wish to reserve. He prints out a contract with that information, takes their recital fee and gives them a packet of recital information. To confirm the recital and hold the date, students must return a signed contract to the Facilities Manager by the due date specified on the contract. The packet contains a variety of essential information, including deadlines for the manufacture and formatting of programs.
