表演独奏

The repertoire for a junior and a 高级独奏会 should represent a range of historical periods and regional or national styles. Recital repertoire is developed in consultation with the student’s applied instructor, 他们的顾问, and the 音乐 faculty. The student must attach the repertoire lists for both recitals to their senior project proposal form. Upon submitting their project proposal, the faculty will solicit from the student’s applied instructor confirmation of the proposed repertoire and a confidential evaluation of the student’s skills in light of this repertoire. At the beginning of the academic year, the 音乐 Department will establish available dates for junior and 高级独奏会s.

A 初级独奏会 should contain 20 minutes of music.
A 高级独奏会 should contain 45 minutes of music.

The decision about whether repertoire should be performed with a score or from memory will be determined by the student’s applied instructor in consultation with the department’s two Directors, taking into consideration the appropriate performing practice for that repertoire.

独奏陪审团

A student presenting a junior or 高级独奏会 must perform a jury at least four weeks prior to the recital date to determine the student’s level of preparation for the event. All of the repertoire presented at the jury must be at a level of preparation that indicates that the music will be ready for public performance at the time of the recital. If the jury does not demonstrate adequate preparation, the student will be asked to postpone the recital date or forego the recital altogether (in which case the Senior Comprehensive requirement will be met by taking an exam--see “Comprehensive Requirement” under 课程 & 需求.)

A week before the recital jury, students must digitally submit the following for review (students will receive a link to digitally submit their materials by February 15th).

1. Required analytic paper (seniors only)
2. A draft of all program notes
3. A list of all the repertoire in performance order, including: full titles of all repertoire, movements or sections as appropriate, complete names and dates of all composers, English translations of song texts as needed, names of all performers on the program, and any acknowledgments that you intend to include in the program.

The 音乐 Department provides piano accompanists for all junior and 高级独奏会s, and will print 50 copies of your program for each recital.

表演 评估

Each senior project component is graded Pass with Distinction (PD), Pass (P), or Fail (F). The recital is worth 70%, the comps paper 20%, and the program notes 10%. Notwithstanding your comps paper counting for only 20% of your overall comps assessment, you must receive a PD or P on your comps paper in order to receive a PD or P as your final comps grade. In other words, you cannot pass your comps with a failing comps paper. Note, the 初级独奏会 does not factor in the comps grade. Passing it is a prerequisite to giving a 高级独奏会.
