Telitha E. Lindquist College of Arts & Humanities 257 All music majors in Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Arts programs must present a one-hour senior recital while at the 4000 competency level. The student must register for MUSC 4991 during the semester the recital will be presented. See "Senior Project" in the next column for music education exceptions to this requirement. Repertoire for the senior recital must not contain music performed on the junior recital. Completion of a senior recital will exempt a student from further proficiency level evaluations but not from continued private study. All students presenting a senior recital must perform that recital before a faculty review committee not less than two weeks prior to the recital date. The review committee will consist of the student's applied teacher, the appropriate area head, and one other faculty member of the student's choice. A faculty committee selected by the area director will be present at the public performance of the senior recital and will recommend pass/fail of the recital. All students must complete a recital approval form for junior or senior recitals. The recital form must be completed and signed by the music advisor and applied teacher prior to scheduling any required faculty preview performance. Failure to complete a junior or senior recital in the semester in which the student is registered for the recital will result in a grade of "E" for the recital. Senior Project Music education majors have the option of completing a senior project in lieu of the senior recital and should register for MUSC 4992 during the semester in which they plan to complete the project. The Director of Music Education in consultation with the music faculty must approve the senior project option at least one semester prior to the completion of the project. Students must enroll in MUSC 4830 at least one semester prior to completing the senior project. A written proposal must be approved and signed by a faculty committee before the student may enroll in MUSC 4992. The committee must be comprised of at least three members including the following: 1. The Director of Music Education or his or her designee 2. An appropriate Music Area Head or his or her designee 3.

Upon receiving app roval of the p roj ect, the student should proceed with the project in close consultation with the committee. 5. Upon completion of the project, the faculty committee shall meet and provide useful information to the student. Each member of the committee will assign a letter grade. These grades will be averaged for the final grade in MUSC 4992 (Senior Project).
