| Description | The Mission of the Department of Music is to provide a program, faculty, and support that insure music proficiency and success after graduation for students who wish to follow a career in music or enter graduate school upon graduation. More specifically, the department will provide proficiencies in vocal, keyboard, conducting and instrumental performance. Each student is offered the opportunity to become acquainted with music theory, church music history, and music history to familiarize themselves with the monumental artistic achievements of Western civilization. For the student who wishes to pursue music as a profession, course offerings will assist in preparation for a career in the ministry of music through church leadership; performance; or music education in a public school, Christian school, or private studio. General Departmental Information Students entering the music program are required to take Class Piano (see Placement Exam Information), followed by two semesters of Private Piano, concluding with the Piano Proficiency. (See keyboard requirements for students who pass the Piano Proficiency sooner.) If the music degree chosen requires student teaching or a recital, students must pass the Piano Proficiency requirement to be eligible to register for student teaching or a senior recital. Music majors, combination music majors, and minors are required to take a jury at the end of each semester of private study. The jury at the end of the sophomore year will determine whether the student is eligible to continue in the music program, and must include the Piano Proficiency requirement, unless a student has entered the program during his or her sophomore year. Music students may be put on a probationary standing during the freshman or sophomore year, but for no longer than two semesters. Music majors, combination music majors and minors, as well as any non-music students enrolling in private music lessons, are required to attend a fixed number of music recitals on and off campus. Music majors, combination majors, and minors are required to participate in music ensembles. (See degree program for specific ensemble requirements.) Bachelor of Science Degree, Major in Music–Performance Emphasis This program will prepare the student for a broader music ministry as a performing musician, music minister and especially for graduate studies in music. Specific objectives include those stated for the major in Biblical Studies (page 47) and for the General Education core (page 85). The graduate should also be able to demonstrate: (1) The music skills and techniques that are demanded in the various disciplines cultivated in this program of study; (2) Understanding and appreciation of the development of the music of the Western civilization as these relate to life in general and to the music of the church; (3) The ability to perform and teach on the major instrument with skill acceptable for graduate studies. |
