Students enrolled in applied lessons are required to perform a juried performance to evaluate their musical progress at the end of each semester. The jury consists of approximately 10 minutes of material, as assigned by your private instructor.
A designated faculty panel uses a rubric specifically tailored to the area of performance (vocal, instrumental, jazz) to evaluate the jury. The jury grade counts as 25% of the student’s private lesson grade for the semester. Students in Bachelor of Music degree programs must achieve a minimum score of 75 points (out of 100) to pass. The passing score for students in the Bachelor of Arts degree program is 65 points (out of 100). Students who fall below the minimum grade will be placed on probation by the department.
