4.80 Promotion to
Upper-Level for Percussion Majors
March 9, 2005
Students majoring in percussion 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.
5. Percussion majors are required to study all areas of percussion
literature, including snare drum, mallets, timpani, and multi-percussion.
One or two areas will be chosen by the instructor and student each semester,
and a jury will be required on that particular instrument at the end of the
semester.
6. New students will be auditioned and placed accordingly by the instructor
at the beginning of study and satisfactory progress will be expected until
proficiency is met in all areas.
7. Percussion majors are expected to be in the Percussion Ensemble each
semester.
