University Catalog

Overview

The University of Texas at Arlington is a member of the National Association of Schools of Music.

The Department of Music offers the Bachelor of Music degree (1) in preparation for all-level teacher certification; (2) in Performance (woodwind, brass, percussion, keyboard, strings, or voice); (3) in Theory; (4) in Composition; (5) in Jazz Studies; (6) in Music/Business; (7) in Music/Theatre; and (8) in Music/Media. Music students must meet all the requirements of one of these specializations to receive the Bachelor of Music degree. All degree plans leading to a Bachelor of Music degree include offerings which provide a solid foundation in music theory, history, and literature and require a concentration in a specific instrument/voice.

The mission of the Music Department is to further the quest for enrichment and to nurture aesthetics, knowledge, and excellence through experiencing and studying the art and science of music.

The Music Department's goals and objectives for academic and artistic enrichment of the university and the extended community include: (1) offering curricula leading to a baccalaureate degree and graduate programs that provide students with the opportunity to realize their inherent musical potential, (2) offering degree options that recognize and nurture students’ abilities and talents to make contributions of excellence in the fields of music, and (3) preparing students for further graduate study and/or professional careers in music by meeting curricula criteria, performance standards, and academic expectations.

All prospective music majors must audition for proper placement in their respective performance areas and take a music theory placement test. Information concerning auditions and placement tests is available in the Music Office.

All music majors (and transfer students) are required to pass the sophomore barrier on their major instrument. Students can only attempt the barrier two times. If they fail the sophomore barrier the first time, they will receive an Incomplete and will be required to enroll in MUSI 2222 DEVELOPMENTAL PRIVATE LESSONS the following semester. At the end of MUSI 2222 DEVELOPMENTAL PRIVATE LESSONS, students will be required to attempt the barrier for a last time. If the student successfully passes the barrier, the Incomplete will be changed to the appropriate grade. If students do not successfully pass the barrier, they will not be allowed to remain a music major.

All students wishing to pursue the Bachelor of Music Degree with the Jazz Studies Option must pass the jazz performance barrier exam upon completion of MUSI 3226 JAZZ IMPROVISATION II. Students can attempt the barrier two times. Students failing to pass the jazz barrier on the second attempt will not be permitted to continue in the Jazz Studies Option. Successful completion of the jazz barrier is a prerequisite for enrollment in:

MUSI 3395	JAZZ COMPOSITION	3
MUSI 4300	JAZZ PERSPECTIVES	3
MUSI 4302	JAZZ ARRANGING	3
MUSI 4225	ADVANCED JAZZ IMPROVISATION	2

 All students wishing to pursue the Bachelor of Music Degree in Preparation for Teacher Certification must pass the music education barrier exam before enrolling in:

MUSI 3211	EARLY CHILDHOOD MUSIC	2
MUSI 3213	INSTRUMENTAL MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES I	2
MUSI 3214	CHORAL MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES I	2

An audition or permission of the instructor is required for all large ensembles. All University students, regardless of major, are permitted to audition for and participate in all music department ensembles: concert bands, marching band, jazz ensembles, choirs, and orchestra.

All music majors are required to enroll in a large ensemble each semester in residence. Ensembles that meet this requirement, as well as any minimum requirements for number(s) of semester in specific ensembles, are determined by each degree plan. Residence is defined as any semester that a student is enrolled in any private lesson section or enrolled in 6 or more semester hours at the university, except during student teaching or music industry studies internship.

All students are strongly urged to refer to the sections on Academic Regulations and Degree Programs in the current UT Arlington Undergraduate Catalog. Students seeking teacher certification should read the College of Education section of this catalog concerning admission to teacher education programs and state requirements for certification.

In addition to fulfilling University and the College of Liberal Arts requirements for admission to a degree program, students planning to be music majors must also fulfill the listed Music Department requirements.

Students must receive a C or better in all music courses in order to graduate. If a student does not earn a C or better, it may not count as a prerequisite for any other course.

Students should expect, in addition to attending weekly private lessons, a minimum preparation (individual practice) of five hours per week in courses granting two hours credit, 10 hours per week in courses granting three hours credit, and 12 hours per week in courses granting four hours credit.

All private instruction, except MUSI 0171, requires a jury.

Music majors must complete a minimum of 36 hours at the 3000/4000 level, at least 24 of which must be in music.

Those music courses available to non-music majors are indicated in the course description. Individual instruction courses are open in limited numbers to all University students.
