a. Rationale for
creation, revision, or deletion:
1.
Renumbering private study courses; change in credit total
The Department has renumbered its
private study courses, and the curriculum has been modified to reflect this
change. Private study at the Freshman and Sophomore level is being reduced from 4 credits
per semester to 2 credits per semester, and private study in the Junior year is
being reduced from 4 credits to 3 credits.
This reflects the equality of performance expectations for all Bachelor
of Music students and the increased expectations for Applied Music majors as
they prepare recitals in their Junior and Senior years. This reduces the credit hours for private
study by 10 credit hours.
2. Addition of MUSC335 Basic
Conducting, MUSC481 Pedagogy and Literature, and MUSC403 Chamber Music
Literature or MUSC405 Symphonic Literature
These courses are being added in
response to comments from our most recent accreditation report from the
National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), in order to bring our
curriculum up to NASM standards.
Specifically:
The addition of MUSC 335 Basic
Conducting meets the following NASM requirement:
Students must acquire knowledge and skills sufficient to work as a leader and in collaboration on matters of music interpretation. Rehearsal and conducting skills are required as appropriate to the particular music concentration. (NASM Handbook 2001-2002, page 82, item VII.A.4)
The
addition of MUSC403 Chamber Music Literature or MUSC405 Symphonic
Literature; the recommendation that the other course be taken as an elective;
and the addition of MUSC481 Pedagogy and Literature, meets the following NASM requirement:
Comprehensive capabilities in the major performing medium including the ability to work independently to prepare performances at the highest possible level; knowledge of applicable solo and ensemble literature; and orientation to and experience with the fundamentals of pedagogy. (NASM Handbook 2001-2002, page 86, item VIII.A.3)
3. Deletion of the course MUSC 394
(Keyboard Harmony II – 2 credits) from the major.
MUSC 394 is
the second of a two-course sequence. The
Department of Music believes that the first course in the sequence (MUSC 393 –
Keyboard Harmony I) has been providing the necessary skills for the Applied
Piano Major. Thus MUSC 394 is no longer
necessary. The Department has not taught
the MUSC 394 for several years and has had to ask that graduating Seniors be allowed to waive the course. Thus the deletion of the course will allow
the catalog to reflect the current state of affairs regarding the Keyboard
Harmony requirement.
b. Summary of program:
1.
Under Applied Music: revise course numbers and credits
for Private Study (remove 10 credits)
2.
Under Applied Music: add MUSC481 Pedagogy and
Literature (3 credits, cross-listed with MUSC681)
3.
Under Theory: add MUSC335 Basic Conducting (2 Credits)
4.
Under Theory: remove MUSC 394 Keyboard Harmony II
5.
Under Literature: remove “Music Elective”; add MUSC403
Chamber Music Literature (3 credits, cross-listed with MUSC603) OR MUSC405
Symphonic Literature (3 Credits, cross listed with MUSC605)
These changes will reduce the
overall credit requirements for the degree to 126 credits.
