The Music Department in the Sarofim School of Fine Arts, Southwestern University is an accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM). The Music Department strives to serve the global community and the world of music by offering a rigorous music program of the highest quality within the context of a liberal arts education.

GOALS OF THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT

To recruit and maintain a well-balanced body of committed music majors who will set standards for other students in performance, practice habits and scholarship;

To provide a Bachelor of Arts program with a balanced music curriculum for students with strong interests in music who also wish to pursue a broad liberal arts education;

To provide a Bachelor of Music program that prepares students for the strongest graduate programs; that develops performance skills through rigorous preparation of high-quality solo, chamber and large ensemble literature; and that prepares music education students to teach in elementary and secondary schools;

To enhance the general education program and student life by providing opportunities to all Southwestern University students to investigate music of various cultures through performance, as well as through theoretical and historical studies;

To maintain a faculty whose musical influence reaches beyond Southwestern University; and

With the understanding that our primary goal is to educate, not entertain, the Music Department is committed to providing service to the University through participation in ceremonial events, services of worship and events for the Office of Institutional Advancement, both on and off campus.

Scholarships

The Sarofim School of Fine Arts grants a number of scholarships to majors in music. Performance awards are also available to non-music majors who perform in one of the School’s musical ensembles. These scholarships are awarded after an audition or portfolio review by the prospective students with members of the Music Department faculty, and can be scheduled through the secretary of the School of Fine Arts. For students who are Work Study eligible as part of their financial aid package, there are numerous jobs in all areas of the arts, including faculty assistants, music librarians, and box office staff. Students interested in these positions should inquire through the secretary of the School of Fine Arts.

Performing Groups

The following performing groups are open to all students by audition: the Southwestern University Wind Ensemble, the Southwestern University Jazz Band, the Southwestern University Orchestra, the Southwestern University Chorale, the Southwestern University Singers and the Southwestern University Opera Theatre.

Degrees

The Music Department offers two degrees, the Bachelor of Arts with a major in Music, and the Bachelor of Music with five possible emphases: Education, Literature, Performance, Sacred Music and Theory/Composition. A minor in music may also be obtained. With fewer specialized course requirements, the Bachelor of Arts with a major in Music offers greater flexibility for students who wish to pursue a major or minor in another area. Students who complete the requirements for the Bachelor of Music with an emphasis in Music Education will be qualified to teach music in public schools. The Bachelor of Music with a Performance emphasis is designed for those students who wish to become highly proficient in an instrument or in voice, for the purpose of becoming private teachers and/or professional performers. For those students who wish to pursue a degree in musicology at the graduate level, or for those who wish to gain a greater knowledge and appreciation of significant works of music in Western civilization, the Bachelor of Music with an emphasis in Music Literature is appropriate. The Sacred Music emphasis within the Bachelor of Music degree is designed for students who wish to pursue careers as church musicians, and it can also serve as a preparation for seminary study. The Bachelor of Music with an emphasis in Music Theory/Composition is designed for those students who plan to pursue graduate work in composition and/or music theory.

An audition/interview is required for all students desiring admission to a music degree program. Students most often do this prior to their enrollment at Southwestern. Those who decide to pursue a music major after they enroll at Southwestern must still audition for the Music Department. Specific repertoire requirements for auditions may be obtained from the office of the secretary of the School of Fine Arts or from the appropriate page on the School of Fine Arts Web site.

Students audition for, and are accepted into, a particular degree program/concentration within the major, with a specific principal performing area. Any music major who wishes to change his or her concentration or principal performing area must obtain the consent of the music faculty. In certain cases a re-audition may be required.

Additional requirements: In addition to satisfactory completion of required coursework, students are required to pass a number of examinations to continue in a music degree. These include the Sophomore Barrier Examination, the Keyboard Proficiency Examination, and juries. All music majors must also complete a Capstone requirement.

Sophomore Barrier Examination: All students pursuing a music major degree program will perform before the music faculty no later than at the conclusion of their second full year of study, or after a maximum of two semesters in residence for transfer students, after they are admitted by audition to the Music Department. The content of this performance varies by specialization; requirements are available from the Music Department. The quality of the student’s performance at this time will be used by the faculty to assist in evaluating whether the student should be permitted to continue in his or her intended music degree program.

Keyboard Proficiency Examination: Requirements for passage vary according to the principal area of study and the chosen degree plan and concentration, and may be obtained from the Department Chair. Keyboard Proficiency Examinations are usually administered as part of a music performance jury. Successful completion of the exam is recorded through the filing of a Special Report Card with the Registrar’s Office.

Juries: The Music Department requires that all music majors or intended music majors perform a jury, or graded performance examination, on their principal instrument or voice at the end of each semester they are enrolled at Southwestern University. Exceptions to this rule may be made at the discretion of the individual applied instructor under circumstances as outlined in the Music Department faculty handbook. All other students taking applied music lessons should perform juries starting with their third semester of study in a particular applied area and continue every semester thereafter. This rule also applies to music majors in their secondary applied study area.

Capstone requirement: Activities or experiences that may fulfill this requirement vary with each music degree plan or concentration, and are noted at the end of each description. Successful completion of the capstone requirement is recorded through the filing of a Special Report Card with the Registrar’s Office. The Music Department capstone is not a specific course; however, students must be enrolled in a course for credit in the semester they present their capstone whose focus is the preparation of the capstone. Possibilities include, but are not limited to: applied lessons in an appropriate performing medium for a minimum of two credit hours, composition instruction, or independent study. Any proposed capstone that is not a standard recital in one performance medium, a lecture, or a lecture/recital must be approved in advance by the Music faculty no later than conclusion of the semester before the capstone is to take place.
