Piano proficiency
The piano proficiency exam is used to assess keyboard facility in the areas of scales, chord progressions, sightreading, solo performance and accompanying. All music majors, music ministry majors, modified music majors and music minors must enroll in class or private piano beginning in their first semester as a freshman until all parts of the piano proficiency exam are passed. The piano proficiency should be completed by the end of the sophomore year. Music education and music ministry majors must complete all parts of the piano proficiency exam prior to scheduling their student teaching experience or practicum.
Juries
Performance examinations are given each semester to all majors and minors who are enrolled in applied music. These allow the music faculty to evaluate student progress in the areas of musical expression and technical facility.
Recital attendance
All students enrolled in applied music lessons are required to attend a specified number of on-campus recitals, concerts and applied performance labs each semester.
Performance requirement
Students who are enrolled in applied music lessons will be expected to perform in applied performance labs at the discretion of the instructor.
