Recital Repertoire
PERF 428 GRADUATE RECITAL
60 minutes of music is required. Three complete works from three different stylistic periods (including one 20th/21st century work) must be performed. Graduate and diploma students may include one chamber work. The recital will be graded by the applied instructor.
Jury Repertoire
PERF 451 MASTER OF MUSIC JURY
String performance majors are required to prepare and perform two works for each jury, as outlined below.
Students will perform a solo piece at each jury.
- At one jury a movement from a concerto (including cadenza), preferably with piano accompaniment, will be presented.
- At one jury a sonata or short piece displaying a range of technical/musical style, preferably with piano accompaniment, will be presented.
Students will perform a movement from an unaccompanied work (e.g. Bach, Ysaye, Kodaly, étude) at each jury.
One of the above works must be memorized. No repetition of repertoire from previous juries is allowed.
All violinists are required to perform a movement from a Mozart Concerto in at least one jury during their degree study.
Individual faculty members are encouraged to implement additional requirements for students in their studios. Their students are bound by these requirements.
N.B.: In the semester preceding a degree recital (course number 413), the student’s applied teacher may opt to have the student present a pre-recital jury. In this case, students must submit with the jury form a copy of their proposed recital program including their accompanist’s name and their applied teacher’s signature. Students will sign up for two consecutive jury slots and must be prepared to perform any piece on the recital program. A student’s recital program cannot be changed between the pre-recital jury and the recital date without consent of the applied teacher and Director of Strings.
This degree map charts a suggested pathway through all of your required courses. It is incumbent upon all students to fully comprehend curricular requirements and course schedules, and while it is feasible to chart an alternate pathway, it is highly recommended that you do so in close consultation with your academic advisor so as to determine a degree path appropriately tailored to your needs.
A full-time graduate course load comprises 9-13 credits per semester.
