Applied
percussion lessons are offered to music majors, minors, and non-majors.
Students must audition for acceptance into the percussion studio.
The
student will develop performing abilities on all classifications of percussion
instruments. The level of
proficiency will depend on the major (education, performance, etc.) and the
strengths of the individual student.
Students
are expected to practice on a consistent basis. The recommended amount for music majors is two hours a day.
Students should keep a notebook detailing progress on pieces and
terminology as discussed in lessons. The
semester grade will in part be determined by the weekly performance in lessons.
Applied
students are expected to attend all studio classes. These take place on Wednesday at 12:50 pm in Room 101.
Students are expected to perform at least once a semester.
In addition, students will be assigned topics or excerpts to present
during the studio class. Topics
such as improvisation and pedagogy will be discussed as well.
Unexcused absences will result in a lowering of the final grade as shown
below.
Music
majors and minors are expected to perform regularly for Area Recitals (Monday,
12:50 pm) and Convocation Recitals (Friday, 12:50). Attendance is mandatory for
all percussion events. Music
majors will also present Junior Recitals (mus. ed. and perf.) and Senior
Recitals (mus. perf.). Major
recitals will be graded by a committee to be selected by the student. See the music catalogue for more information.
Juries
will take place at the end of each semester.
The jury grade will count as 30% of your final grade for the semester.
Music majors and minors must perform juries unless a major recital was
presented that semester.
