The college catalogue states: “Department honors for senior music majors are recommended on the basis of a distinguished academic career documented by department GPA (3.5 or higher for all work in MP courses; 3.5 or higher for all work in MU course), faculty recommendation, and a high level of accomplishment on a department approved senior project.” A Senior recital is one category of approved senior project. |

If the
faculty approves the recital audition or project proposal, the student
continues preparation for completion of the project in the spring
semester. |
| c. |
Senior recitals
will be attended by at least three full-time members of the music
faculty who, along with other faculty members present, will evaluate
the program’s musical and technical merits as one aspect of
consideration for the granting of departmental honors. |
| d. |
Program
notes for senior recitals, to be researched and written by the student,
are required. The program notes must be approved by the student’s

Secretary for printing. Students will be held to high standards
of research and writing style. Program notes will be evaluated by
the faculty as part of their decision towards departmental honors.

then pass his/her recommendations to the full faculty for
the student’s works to be approved. |

artistic levels of performance. |
