The School of Music prepares students for careers in music with degrees in music education, performance, composition and interdisciplinary studies. The School promotes a lifelong passion for music in its students by developing their scholarly, intellectual, creative and technical abilities. Essential to fulfilling this mission is our understanding that each facet of the study of music culminates in the performance and creation of music.

The focal emphases are supported by studies in musicianship including performing, listening, history, theory, composition and teaching. We value:
•conceptual understanding of musical components and processes
• continued practice in creating, interpreting, presenting, analyzing, and evaluating music
•increasing understanding of various musical cultures and historical periods
•acquiring capacities to integrate musical knowledge and skills
•accumulating capabilities for independent work in the music professions

Performance Studies in Music

Performance studies are offered on several levels to meet the needs of music majors as well as those of students from the general university community. There are no additional fees or tuition charges for the use of practice facilities. The 100-level performance studies are open to any student without audition through class instruction. The 200-level denotes group or private instruction for advanced non-music majors by special permission of the department chair (audition required).

Individual instruction in performance studies is offered at the 300- and 400-level for music majors and, by special permission of the department chair, to advanced non-music majors who meet all requirements for music majors as listed below. All students enrolled in 200-400-level performance instruction are required to attend weekly convocation (student recital), attend recitals as required, participate in at least one approved music department ensemble, and take applied jury examinations at the end of each term. A small tuition charge is assessed per 200-400-level course, not dependent on total credits. Students enrolled in 300- and 400-level performance study must enroll in a music theory or music history course each semester until music core requirements have been completed. No student will be permitted to enroll in 300-400-level performance studies unless these criteria are met. In addition, each music major must pass the piano proficiency exam, as a precondition to upper-division standing.

Performance studies may not be taken on a pass-fail basis.

Bachelor of Arts

This program is designed to offer a broad musical understanding within a liberal arts background. We expect that our graduating students be able to: 1) demonstrate mastery of music theory (an understanding of organizational patterns of music and their interaction, and of musical forms and structures and the ability to employ this understanding in aural, verbal, and visual analyses); 2) competently perform on an instrument of choice (including voice) and effectively communicate on the literature for that instrument and for appropriate ensembles, and demonstrate a basic performance proficiency on the piano; 3) critically evaluate the history and development of music through the present time and place music in historical, cultural and stylistic contexts; 4) comprehend the basics of non-Western music and/or jazz, and demonstrate a rudimentary capacity to create derivative or original music both extemporaneously and in written form; and 5) work independently on a variety of musical problems by combining their capabilities in performance, analysis, composition and improvisation, and history and repertory.

Bachelor of Music

This program offers majors for specialization in performance, composition and music education as well as options for professional music preparation in combination with other fields. The curriculum is designed to prepare students as professional musicians, teachers, and practitioners of music. We expect that our graduating students be able to: 1) demonstrate mastery of music theory (an understanding of organizational patterns of music and their interaction, and of musical forms and structures and the ability to employ this understanding in aural, verbal, and visual analyses); 2) competently perform on an instrument of choice (including voice) and effectively communicate on the literature for that instrument and for appropriate ensembles, and demonstrate a basic performance proficiency on the piano; 3) critically evaluate the history and development of music through the present time and place music in historical, cultural and stylistic contexts; 4) comprehend the basics of non-Western music and/or jazz, and demonstrate a rudimentary capacity to create derivative or original music both extemporaneously and in written form; and 5) work independently on a variety of musical problems by combining their capabilities in performance, analysis, composition and improvisation, and history and repertory.

Music Performance

This major offers professional preparation in music with specialization in performance. The curriculum is designed to prepare students to become professional performers in their respective major instrument or voice. Students following options in performance or composition are required to present an acceptable senior recital in the major performance medium (composition for composition majors). Students following options in performance are also required to present an acceptable junior recital in the major performance medium.

Music Education

This program offers professional preparation in music with specialization in music education. The curriculum is designed to prepare students as professional teachers of music. Students following any of the music education or elective studies options are required to present an acceptable senior half recital in the major performance medium. Students following any of the music education options must have a minimum gpa of 2.5 in all of the following areas: cumulative gpa, Professional Education Core with a C or better in each course, and academic major (and minor if any) with a C or better in each course. Students certifying as majors in any of the music education options must also certify as majors in the College of Education.

Master of Arts in Music

Please consult the current WSU Graduate Study Bulletin. For students pursuing the combined BM/MA with teacher certification in Music, please consult the department.

SCHEDULE OF STUDIES

Normal progress in all music degree curricula requires enrollment during the freshman year in 300-level performance studies. Such enrollment requires an audition which is best completed during the semester (usually spring) prior to the student’s matriculating in the university. Students who do not audition early must do so during the first week of classes in the term. Normal progress also assumes placement in 200-level music theory. Theory placement tests will be administered as part of the performance audition. Students who do not qualify for 300-level performance studies and 200-level theory studies as freshmen will usually require more semesters and credit hours of performance studies to complete a degree than listed in this schedule of studies.

To certify as a major pursuing any degree in music, students must meet the following criteria:

Completion of 24 semester hours; cumulative gpa of 2.0; completion of 10 hours with a cumulative gpa of 2.0 and a grade of C or better in those courses selected: Mus 151, 152, 181, 182, 251, 252, 253, 254, and up to four credits of applied study; approval of the appropriate applied study area coordinator; [approval requires two semesters' study as specified by each area: Keyboard at 300 level with grade of B- or better, Brass and Percussion at 300 level with grade of B- or better, Woodwinds at 300 level with grade of B- or better, and Voice at 200 level with grade of B- or better]; completion of application available from department. Students not passing the upper-division exam after the second attempt will be decertified as music majors.

In addition the College of Education requires 2.5 gpa and C or better in each course listed for the major, minor and professional core, plus a 2.5 cumulative gpa, of students certifying in any of the Bachelor of Music in Music Education curricula.

As indicated in the requirements listed under the various majors and options for the Bachelor of Music degree and the Bachelor of Arts degree in Music, each student must satisfactorily complete all music courses with a minimum 2.5 gpa and a grade of C or better in each music course. Each student is required to pass the piano proficiency exam and the junior and/or senior qualifying exam, with the exception of those students enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts degree (the B.A. degree requires completion of MUS 182 with a C or better). Students must also complete the General Education Requirements plus those for the College of Liberal Arts.

Degree Programs

Students must complete one American Diversity [D] course to meet the General Education Requirements (GERs). Choose one humanities, social science, or Tier III course that is also designated as an American Diversity [D] course. Note: Honors students complete Honors requirements in place of GERs.

Music Education - Without Teaching Certificate Option(123 Hours)

Students following any teacher preparation option are required to present an acceptable senior half recital in the major performance medium.

Students following any teacher preparation option must have a minimum gpa of 2.5 in all of the following areas: cumulative gpa, Professional Education Core with a C or better in each course, and academic major (and minor if any) with a C or better in each course. Students must also certify as majors in the College of Education. Since this option is likely to lead to enrollment in the MA in Music, students are advised that admission to graduate study requires a 3.0 cumulative gpa.

Students must pass the Piano Proficiency Exam, pass the senior qualifying exam, achieve a cumulative 2.5 gpa and a grade of C or better in all music classes, and a 2.5 gpa and a grade of C or better in all College of Education Professional Core courses. Class piano credits are not required for the degree. Instrumentalists must complete 4 credits in vocal performance studies (private lessons and/or ensemble) and vocalists must complete 4 credits of instrumental performance studies.

This option provides teacher certification in designated arts: Music (choral, instrumental, and general). Requirements include: C or better in all music and education courses; 2.5 music average; 2.5 education average; 2.5 overall average; 4 credits vocal performance for instrumentalists; 4 credits instrumental performance for vocalists; upper-division exam, piano proficiency, solo half-recital. Approved performing groups: a minimum of 1 hour during each of 7 semesters, to include at least one semester of Mus 435 for instrumentalists and 428 for vocalists. Include a minimum of 2 hours in choral and 2 hours in instrumental performing groups.

This option provides professional preparation in music combined with studies in education. Students may complete teacher certification requirements after completion of this degree through further enrollment as undergraduate second degree candidates, enrollment as post-baccalaureate non-degree students, or as graduate students, each of which requires application for admission. Students planning to seek admission and enroll as graduate students should, at the beginning of their last semester of undergraduate study, complete the necessary form to count selected courses in the final undergraduate semester toward the graduate degree, up to a maximum of 6 credits.
