UWM Undergraduate Catalog 2012-2013

Music

The various undergraduate curricula lead to the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music, Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music Education, or Bachelor of Arts in Music degree. The following courses of study are available:

Music Performance. A curriculum in voice, keyboard, or another instrument that prepares the student for both professional performance and studio teaching.

Jazz Studies. A curriculum that prepares the student for professional jazz performance and studio teaching in jazz.

Music Education. A curriculum in music performance, history, theory and education, and certification by the State Department of Public Instruction, that prepares the student to teach and supervise music in the public schools.

Music History and Literature. A curriculum that focuses on the historical and critical study of music and prepares the student for specialization and graduate work in musicology, music librarianship and music criticism.

Music Composition and Technology. A curriculum that prepares the student for specialization in creative musical writing and related analytical skills and concepts, in conjunction with specific courses of study in microcomputers, electronic music-based software applications, MIDI, sound synthesis, and pedagogy.

Bachelor of Arts in Music. A general music degree designed specifically for students with talent and interest in music that allows them the flexibility to take a minor in another subject (such as Business) or a second major.

Graduate Programs

The various graduate curricula lead to the Master of Music or Master of Fine Arts degree with concentrations in Music Performance, Conducting, Music Theory, Music History and Literature, and Music Education. (See the Graduate School Bulletin for details.)

The Leonard Sorkin International Institute of Chamber Music is a two-year program leading to a Certificate in Chamber Music Performance.

Music for the Nonmajor

While professional training is the main thrust of the UWM music curricula, the department offers many personal enrichment courses for the nonmusic major. UWM students have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of performing organizations such as the Concert Chorale, Jazz Band, Symphony Band, Symphony Orchestra, University Band, University Choir, Wind Ensemble, Women's Choir, Men's Glee Club, Gospel Choir, and University Community Orchestra.

Private or class music lessons are also offered to the nonmusic major under the following conditions:

1. A successful audition;

2. Consent of instructor and availability of instructional time;

3. Concurrent registration in an approved Music Performance organization. For further information contact the Department of Music at 229-5162.

Admission, Audition, and Scholarship Procedures

Throughout the year, the Music Department schedules new student audition days. In addition to meeting the general University admission requirements, a prospective music degree candidate must successfully complete an audition in his or her primary performance area (Principal Instrument), and take a theory placement examination. Composition majors must submit original works to the Composition faculty for consideration. In certain degree programs, students also must successfully complete an audition at the 100 level in a secondary performance area (Secondary Instrument) as required.

Prospective students who lack basic aural, theory, and fundamental keyboard skills must register for Music 001, Theory Fundamentals, and MusPerf 001, Keyboard Fundamentals, in their first semester of study. Students who receive a final grade of "B" or better in these courses may subsequently enroll in Music 123, 125, and 127 with the approval of the theory faculty.

Admission to the music major is considered provisional, pending progress in music theory and Principal Instrument (and Secondary Instrument, if appropriate) during the freshman year. Students who are not enrolled in Principal Instrument and Music 123, 125, 127 or higher in their third semester cannot be considered music majors.

If you wish to be considered for a music scholarship, you are encouraged to audition no later than March of the school year preceding your intended matriculation. Lists of suggested repertoire, which can serve as a helpful guideline for your audition, can be obtained from the Music Department. For further information or to schedule an audition, contact the Music Department at (414) 229-5162.

Music Degree Requirements

All music curricula for the B.F.A. require 125-130 credits, distributed as follows: Music courses as specified in each curriculum: 75-80 credits; core curriculum: 45 credits; general electives: 0-5 credits. The B.A. in music requires 120 credits, distributed as follows: Music courses, 48 credits; core curriculum, 45 credits; general electives, 27 credits.

Performance Organization Requirement. All music majors are required to participate in performing organizations during the course of their study. All Performance and Music Education majors must be registered in an approved major performing organization concurrent with each semester of private study. The director of bands, the director of choral activities, and the director of orchestras make ensemble assignments at the beginning of each semester. For the purpose of fulfilling the Performance Organization requirement, the Department of Music recognizes the following approved major performing organizations: Concert Chorale, Symphony Band, Symphony Orchestra, University Band, University Choir, Wind Ensemble, and Women's Choir.

(Other performance ensembles may be approved in certain degree programs: see individual degree programs below for specific requirements in each area.)

Performance Organization Requirement for Transfer Students. Credits from an accredited college/university for performing organizations may be granted as follows

1. All transfer students to UWM, regardless of entry level, must take at least two semesters of an approved major performing organization. The performing organization must conform to the individual degree requirements: instrumentalists take band or orchestra, vocalists take choral ensembles.

2. Entering sophomores with 30 or more earned credits may only transfer up to two completed semesters of an approved performing organization from another university.

3. Entering juniors with 60 or more earned credits may only transfer up to four completed semesters of an approved performing organization from another university.

Recital and Convocation Attendance. All music majors, except transfer students and second degree candidates, must earn 80 recital attendance credits for graduation. This requirement may be met by attending campus recitals (one attendance credit per recital), the weekly departmental Convocation (five attendance credits per semester), and off-campus recitals (one attendance credit per recital to a maximum of three per semester).

All music majors, except transfer students and second degree candidates, must attend weekly Convocation meetings for a minimum of six semesters. A student receives five recital attendance credits for each satisfactorily completed semester of Convocation (at least 75% or more of the weekly meetings attended and recorded). Recital attendance records are kept by the Music Department.

Transfer students and second degree candidates must earn 10 recital credits (including weekly Convocation) for each semester on the UWM campus, to a total of 80, or until the completion of the degree.

Music Performance Course Enrollment Requirements. The study of music performance in private lessons, master classes, and seminars is governed by four special conditions:

1. Performance courses (lessons) cannot be dropped after the second week of each semester; 2. No undergraduate music major may register for performance courses (lessons) unless the student is simultaneously registered for a minimum of four credits in Music Department courses other than performance; 3. Instrumental and vocal majors enrolled in the Performance and Music Education degree programs must be registered in an approved major performing ensemble concurrent with each semester of performance study in their principal performance area; 4. Enrollment in lab Master Class (0 cr.) is required of all voice students each semester of enrollment in lessons. Keyboardists and instrumentalists should consult their keyboard or instrumental instructors about the lab Master Class requirements.

Music Theory and History Requirements. All music majors are required to take a core of music theory and music history courses. The music theory core entails a three-semester sequence of Materials of Theory, accompanied by three semesters of Aural Theory and three of Keyboard Harmony. This is followed by a semester of Form Analysis. All music degree programs require additional theory courses, but these requirements vary from program to program.

The Music History core comprises the three-semester sequence of the General History of Western Music. Additional music history courses are required by most programs.

Laptop Requirement. Music students in all areas will be encouraged to have a laptop computer during their course of study in the department. Students in the BFA Music Composition and Technology program will be required to have a laptop computer once they are admitted. Please see requirements posted on the PSOA Laptop Requirement web page: http://www4.uwm.edu/psoa/laptop.

MUSIC COMPOSITION AND TECHNOLOGY

Required Composition and Theory Background. All potential Composition majors must show evidence of compositional ability before acceptance to the program. Indicating intent on the Music Department audition form does not automatically place the student in to the program. Each applicant must submit a portfolio (see below) of his/her previous compositional work to the Composition faculty. The portfolio acts as the equivalent of an audition. Prospective students seeking to enter this program must also be able to begin at the Music 123, 125, and 127 level as determined by the Theory Placement Exam. Those students who do not meet this criterion may be advised to enter the program on a probationary basis, but must take Music 1, Theory Fundamentals, receive a final grade of "B" or better, and resubmit his/her Composition Portfolio before a final admission and placement decision is determined by the Music Composition Area.

Required Application Portfolio. The portfolio should contain the applicant’s best three to five representative works. At least one copy of a written score is required. The score may be of any ensemble configuration, from large ensemble to piano solo. Computer-generated scores are acceptable but not required. Copies of recordings in a CD or cassette format is expected. The compositions on the recordings may or may not be the same compositional scores submitted with your portfolio. Other possible formats for compositions are Standard MIDI File, a video of a composition’s performance, or sound track to a video work. This latter may be a collaborative work with video artist(s). Group compositions are not acceptable. There is no particular style requirement for applicants, nor is there is a duration requirement for his/her representative works. However, they must be complete works.

Required Piano Proficiency. Upon entry, all composers must audition on Piano. Piano Proficiency will be assessed at either the 100 or 200 level. Those placed at the 100 level must take a minimum of six semesters of piano. All students entering at the 200 level must take four semesters of piano. Piano proficiency is satisfied by demonstrated ability to play works of moderate difficulty; such as Bach's Two-part Inventions, Bartok's Mikrokosmos Book IV, Schumann's 'Kinderszenen', or Easy to Intermediate Classics. This level of proficiency successfully demonstrates completion of the Piano Proficiency requirement and must be met for the completion of the B.F.A. Depending on audition results, a student may be required to enroll in MUSPERF 1, Piano Fundamentals, for up to two semesters or until he/she receives a final grade of "B" or better, before advancing to 100 level Piano. Deficiencies are made up without credit.

A student who is deficient in any of the above may be admitted conditionally, but only after evaluation and approval by the Composition Area. Contact the Composition Area for further information.

Graduation Requirements. Completion of the B.F.A in Music Composition and Technology will require each student to compose a minimum of five compositions over the lifetime of their program. While a minimum of three works must be written for solo or small ensemble, and one work for solo electronic or combined electronic and acoustic instrument(s), one work may be for large ensemble (orchestra, chamber, wind symphony, or choir). Of the five works required, three works must be presented publicly, each a minimum of nine minutes in duration.

Senior Recital or Thesis Requirement. In the semester the student intends to graduate, he/she must either register for Senior Recital or Senior Thesis. Registering for Senior Recital stipulates a public recital of the student’s compositions lasting a minimum of one hour in duration. Registering for Senior Thesis requires the student to submit the following to the Composition Faculty: a final composition portfolio, which consists of the five required compositions, along with recordings (as available). Additionally, printed programs representing the public presentation of three works are required

Peck School of the Arts Requirements. Music Composition and Technology majors must take a minimum of 3 credits in Film and 3 credits in Art when fulfilling their 12 credits in the Peck School of the Arts, outside of Music. Suggested courses are: Film 201, 202 or 203, Art 118, 228 or “Special Topics: Web or Multimedia” courses or subtitled workshops in the digital arts on the department level.

Foreign Language Requirements. Six credits at 200 level or above is required.

Performance Organization Requirements. A minimum of 7 credits of any approved music ensemble, with a minimum of 2 credits in a combination of either the University Choir or Concert Chorale plus a minimum of 3 credits in a combination of either Contemporary Music Ensemble, or Beginning Percussion Ensemble. Other approved music ensembles are: University Band, Symphony Band, Symphony Orchestra, and Wind Ensemble. Additional credits may be taken and/or serve as electives in Jazz Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, Collegium Musicum or Guitar Ensemble.
