Entrance and Exit Requirements

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION INTO TROMBONE/EUPHONIUM STUDIES

• A personal audition with the faculty or a tape recording will serve to determine the student's acceptability and to make appropriate level placement.
• Students enrolled in trombone/euphonium study are expected to complete the minimum requirements as outlined here in order to attain a proficiency level necessary to complete each level of study and to meet graduation requirements for each degree program.
• In each of the levels of study described below, more stress is placed on the quality of performance and literature than on the difficulty of the works. It is understood that the works listed below are not themselves the course(s) of study, but merely indicate the comparative levels of achievement to be attained. Repertoire should include compositions from a full range of historical periods whenever applicable.
• Each semester of study is considered to be prerequisite for continuing study. The exit requirement for promotion in level, or for graduation, is the approval of the instructor and jury, who must be satisfied that the sum of tone, technique, musicianship, accuracy, etc. is adequate.

Levels and Materials of Study

Since no two students will enter the program at exactly the same level the following is a general indication of MINIMUM achievement at each level. Many students, particularly performance majors, will enter the program with greater levels of ability than is shown in the first few course numbers. Nevertheless, all students will proceed through all course numbers required by their particular degree. Similiar levels of skill and achievementis required from everyone enrolled in any particular level but performance majors are expected to deliver greater quantity.

Priority List for Student Assignments in Private Instruction

Length of private lesson:
1 credit = half hour per week
2-3 credits = one hour per week

The instructor reserves the right to group students into semi-private or class lessons in the 100 level of study. Often this arrangement proves advantageous to the technical and musical development of the students involved. Such arrangement will be carefully reviewed each semester to maintain optimum growth in all students involved.

Prospective students who play an acceptable audition will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. However, the following priority assignments in private instruction will be maintained:

FIRST Music majors/minors studying their major or required instruments.

SECOND Non-music majors on music scholarships.

THIRD Music majors who wish to study an additional instrument on which they are already reasonably proficient.

FOURTH Other students performing in Department of Music ensembles.

FIFTH General university students who wish instruction.

Any student who leaves the program (does not take applied music) for two consecutive semesters or more is required to re-audition to return. Such students may have to wait for a space to open in the studio, even though they re-audition successfully.
