Learning Outcomes

• Candidates will perform on their primary instrument a series of jury exams. Each exam will engage the candidate in performance of a wide array of musical styles reflective of undergraduate-level literature.
• Candidates will demonstrate fundamental piano skills, including performing, transposing, harmonizing, and sight-reading at levels appropriate for undergraduate music majors.
• Candidates with a performance or jazz studies emphasis will perform one half-recital and one-full recital on their primary instrument. Each recital will consist of a wide array of musical styles reflective of undergraduate-level repertoire, and will engage the candidate in performing both solo pieces and works for chamber ensembles.
• Candidates in music education will demonstrate the ability to plan level-appropriate lessons and execute plans successfully in authentic teaching contexts in their area of specialty (band, choir, orchestra, elementary).
