The Senior Recital is the culminating formal performance required of all music majors and must consist of a minimum of forty-five minutes of repertoire (excluding the intermission). Students will learn technical skills requisite for self-expression, the ability to perform a cross-section of major performance repertoire for their instrument, thereby building their general musicianship skills to a level sufficient to work in collaboration with other music professionals in their concentration. Students must also submit extended program notes discussing the content of the recital. Students must present and pass a recital hearing no fewer than two weeks prior to the scheduled recital. Students will combine their current skills to work on music problems through aural, verbal, and visual analysis of history and repertoire. Technical skills requisite for artistic self-expression, general musicianship, professional standards, and the synthesis of all learning will be assessed. The applied instructor must approve all recital repertoire.
