USF 2000-2001 Undergraduate Catalog - Pages 178 - 181
Students should complete the A.A. degree at the community college. Some courses required for the major may also meet General Education Requirements thereby transferring maximum hours to the university. If a student wishes to transfer without an A.A. degree and has fewer than 60 semester hours of acceptable credit, the student must meet the university’s entering freshman requirements including ACT or SAT test scores, GPA, and course requirements. Please be aware of the immunization, foreign language, and continuous enrollment policies of the university. This is a non-limited access program with the above courses recommended.
A music theory placement examination will be administered prior to initial registration in the music theory course sequence. This examination is diagnostic and is used for advising purposes. Auditions for admission, level-ranking, and determination of USF credit hour requirements in applied study in the music performance program must be arranged through the School of Music. Secondary piano must be demonstrated by audition or the student may elect to enroll in the appropriate keyboard skills class(es). Credit hours in piano are not required. Other secondary instruments will not apply toward performance or composition programs but may be applicable toward the Music Education degree (see Music Education program).
Students should complete the following prerequisite courses listed below at the lower level prior to entering the University. If these courses are not taken at the community college, they must be completed before the degree is granted. Unless stated otherwise, a grade of “C” is the minimum acceptable grade. If students are coming to the University from a community college, the following prerequisite courses will be accepted as meeting lower level requirements.
The music curriculum is designed for students gifted in the performance and/or composition of music. Candidates for a major in music are required to pass an entrance audition in their respective performance areas. Composition candidates are required to submit appropriate scores and/or tapes of their compositions for faculty appraisal. All students admitted to the degree program must pass a music theory diagnostic examination prior to scheduling music theory classes. Students may obtain dates and times for these examinations from the School of Music.
Academic programs offered in the Bachelor of Music degree include the areas of Performance (voice, organ, piano, piano pedagogy, and orchestral instruments), Composition, and Jazz Studies (composition and performance).
All students seeking a Bachelor of Music degree are required to (1) complete successfully the piano proficiency (jazz piano proficiency required instead for all jazz majors) and music theory-history-literature requirements; (2) present a partial recital during the junior year (except composition majors); (3) present a full recital during the senior year (except music education majors); (4) present a record of satisfactory recital attendance through registration in MUS 2010 (see the specific requirements for MUS 2010 as set by the music faculty). Students must be enrolled in applied music studio during the semester of the recital. Other procedures are mandated through the Student Handbook of the School of Music. Exceptions to all departmental procedures must be authorized through the Director of the School of Music.
Promotion to the next higher level in applied music is made only upon the recommendation of a performance jury conducted by that concentration's faculty. Where appropriate for the degree, the student is required to complete a minimum of two semesters, but no more than three semesters at the 2000 or 3000 level of applied music. Failure to complete these levels within the three semester maximum brings automatic dismissal from the program. Students may repeat the 4000 level as necessary to fulfill the total credit hour requirement (3000 level for composition or music education). Credit for only 2 semesters of applied music at the 1000, 2000, or 3000, levels will be applied toward the degree.
A minimum grade of "C" is necessary in all music courses required for the student's degree. Registration in required music courses resulting in grades of "D" or "F" must be repeated. Sequel courses may not be taken until prerequisites are satisfied with appropriate grades or waivers.
