4.70    Promotion to Upper-Level for Wind Majors

March 9, 2005

Students majoring in wind instruments may not begin junior-level courses in performance (3000 numbers) until passed to upper-level. Students must complete at least four hours of lower level study for performance before being considered for promotion. (Promotion to upper-level is substituted for those students wishing to demonstrate proficiency). Students must demonstrate a seriousness of purpose and have shown significant stylistic, musical, and technical progress to warrant promotion. The following criteria must be met:

Music Education and Performance

1. Successful completion of the scale exam including all major and minor scales and arpeggios by memory.

2. Performance by memory of a chromatic scale in the appropriate octave as selected by the instructor.

3. Successful preparation and performance on four semester juries.

4. Successful preparation and attendance at weekly lessons throughout lower-level study.
