Special Admission Requirements - Graduate

Application for admission may be obtained from the University's Graduate Admissions Office and must be completed and returned by May 1 for admission in the Fall semester and by December 15 for admission in the Spring semester.

Applicants must arrange to have one official transcript to all previous study forwarded to the Graduate Admissions Office and one to the chairman of the Committee on Graduate Studies to the Department of Music.

In addition, three letters of recommendation from former instructors are to be sent to the chairman of the Committee on Graduate Studies in Music, one of which must come from the most recent instructor in voice/instrument for those wishing to major or minor in applied music.

Applied music applicants must also submit a complete list of compositions in their repertory.

All applicants must have a baccalaureate degree in music or music education granted by an accredited college or university. Prospective music education graduate students who do not hold an undergraduate degree in music education must have completed a minimum of 9 credit hours in professional

education courses and at least one semester of teaching experience, or the equivalent in practice teaching. Additional prerequisite requirements will be determined upon evaluation of the applicant's transcripts and entrance examinations.

The applicant must have a cumulative GPA of no lower than 2.9 based on a 4.0 scale and a GPA of no lower than 3.0 in all major field courses.

All graduate students are required to complete examinations and one audition described below, with a passing grade before application for admission to candidacy can be made. Normally, these examinations are taken early in the first semester of graduate study. Students must consult their major advisors assigned to them at admission for the exact date, time and place of each examination or audition which are listed below:

--University wide Expository Writing Examination.

--Entrance Examination in Music Theory.

--Entrance Examination in Music History and Literature.

--Entrance Audition in the Performing Medium (A tape audition may be submitted).

Music alumni of Howard University applying within two years after graduation may submit a copy of the program of the undergraduate senior recital to the chairman of the Committee on Graduate Studies in lieu of taking this audition. Otherwise, all other Applied Music major applicants are auditioned during the semester before that in which they plan to enroll. All compositions are to be performed from memory at this audition and should cover a broad spectrum of the literature as outlined below:

Voice applicants - two songs in English; one early Italian song; two German lieder; two French songs; one aria from an opera or an oratorio; and one 20th century song.

Piano applicants - all major and minor scales and arpeggios; solo works (no concerti) from the following eras or composers: Bach, prelude and fugue from the Well Tempered Clavier, or a complete suite or other work including a movement in fugal texture; Beethoven, a complete sonata (excluding Opp. 49); a 19th century Romantic work; a 20th century work; an extended composition of the applicant's choice, e.g., a Chopin Ballade of Brahms' Rhapsody.

Organ applicants- a major prelude and fugue by Bach (e.g., the "Great" Prelude and Fugue in A minor or a Trio Sonata); a large work by Franck or Mendelssohn; a 20th century work. At least one major work must be performed from memory.

Applicants for the master's degree in music history and musicology must submit to the major advisor a copy of one undergraduate report or honors thesis and must take reading examinations in two foreign languages, preferably French and German. This requirement may be met by taking the Advanced Graduate Record Examinations in these languages. For additional information about these examinations, applicants may write the Educational Testing Service, 1800 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20036 or call (202) 659 0616.

Applicants who are admitted on the basis of having presented acceptable credentials and results of entrance testing are classified according to one of five categories: graduate standing, conditional, special and nondegree, provisional, or transient. Each classification is explained as follows:

Graduate Standing. This classification is given to (1 ) students holding the Bachelor of Music (B. Mus.) or Bachelor of Music Education (B. Mus. Ed.) degree from Howard University or from a similarly accredited institution, who have maintained an average no lower than B in the major area of undergraduate concentration, and whose entrance examinations reveal no deficiencies; and (2) holders of the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree with a major in music, provided that they have met undergraduate requirements equivalent to the course offerings in the Department of Music at Howard University, and who have maintained an average no lower than B in the major area of their undergraduate concentration.

Conditional. This classification is for students who: hold a baccalaureate degree from a nonaccredited institution; have a cumulative average lower than 2.9; have prerequisite work to be completed; or are insufficiently prepared in professional studies. Students so classified must be reclassified in Graduate Standing by the beginning of the second semester of residence.

Special and Nondegree. This classification is for music students who hold a baccalaureate degree and who desire to pursue elective or certification requirements. It is also for other students who are not seeking a master's degree in music but who desire postgraduate study in this area. The latter students must meet general admission requirements and must maintain the same academic standards as regular graduate students. The nondegree student who subsequently wishes to become a degree candidate will receive credit for work already completed as determined by the Committee on Graduate Studies in Music.

Provisional. Applicants who request admission during their final undergraduate year may be accepted on a provisional basis, pending subsequent filing of a supplementary transcript showing that the undergraduate degree was in fact granted. Admissions clearance must be made at least one month in advance of the semester in which registration is requested.

Transient. Students actively pursuing work at other institutions, including consortium colleges or universities, who wish to earn credits for transfer to that institution will not be required to submit official transcripts but must present two copies of a statement verifying that they are in good standing at that institution and that they have the approval of its dean and registrar to seek transfer credit.

Special Academic Information - Graduate

A maximum of six semester hours of credit for graduate work from another institution is acceptable toward degree requirements, provided that the grade received in each course taken was no lower than B and that the courses were taken while the student was in good standing in an accredited graduate degree program.

No more than four semester hours of institute and workshop credit may be counted toward minimum requirements for the master's degree. No graduate credit is granted for courses taken via correspondence or extension, or for courses designated as remedial, prerequisite, or audit.

Failure to maintain a 3.0 GPA in all work for which graduate credit is given will result in academic probation in the next semester. In the case of two consecutive semesters on probation, the student's record will be reviewed by the chairman of the Department of Music and the department's Committee on Graduate Studies, who will decide whether the student should be readmitted.

Qualified undergraduate seniors in Music Education may request permission to take certain graduate courses provided that (1 ) credit for the course is not required for the baccalaureate degree; (2) their cumulative GPA is no lower than 2.9; (3) before registering, they have secured permission from their major advisor and from the coordinator of the area in which the course is to be taken; and (4) they have been admitted to graduate study in the Department of Music and the course completed is accepted for graduate credit by the area coordinator.

Graduate Students

Candidates for the Master of Music (Jazz Studies) must complete a total of 32 credits of which 17 must be in the major concentration Jazz Studies, including improvisation, arranging and ensemble; 12 music or non music elective, 3 in graduate seminar. Students in this program may arrange a concentration in jazz performance or jazz arranging and composing. Candidates must present a public recital of works approved by their advisor.

Candidates for the Master of Music (Applied Music) must complete a total of 32 credits, of which 14 must be in the applied music area, including a principal performance medium and ensemble; 12 in graduate courses in music theory, history, and literature; 3 in a graduate seminar; and 3 in a music or nonmusic elective. Candidates must also present a public recital of works approved by their performance instructor.

Candidates for the Master of Music Education degree may choose one of three options for the final project: thesis, performance emphasis music minor recital, or 6 extra hours. Those choosing the thesis option must complete a total of 30 credits, of which 15 must be in the major concentration, including music education or professional education; 9 to 12 in conducting, performance emphasis, theory, or music history and literature; and 3 to 6 in thesis work. Those choosing the recital option must be approved by the appropriate performance faculty.

Those candidates choosing not to present a thesis must complete a total of 36 credits, of which 15 must be in the major concentration, including music education or professional education; 15 in graduate courses in performance emphasis music history and literature, conducting; and 6 in electives, to be determined in consultation with the major advisor.

Final Examinations. After satisfactorily completing all course requirements and final projects, the candidates must successfully complete the following final examinations:

A written comprehensive examination in the major area of concentration. This examination must be passed before the Oral Examination is taken.

An oral examination administered by the Committee on Graduate Studies in Music. This examination will focus on matters of general musical knowledge as well as those which pertain to the area of the candidate's specialty. Thesis writers may also regard the oral examination as a "defense of thesis" presentation. Composers and performers should expect detailed questions concerning the content and historical and theoretical background of the works programmed on their graduating recitals.

The written and oral examinations are scheduled one week apart, two and three weeks before the close of the semester. Each examination may be taken two times only; failure in the second attempt is final.

Music

All graduate courses in applied music emphasize advanced techniques, expansion of repertoire and, in some cases, preparation for the graduating recital.

Special Admission Requirements&emdashUndergraduate

All new entrants to the Department of Music must present a successful audition in voice or on an instrument. Generally, auditions are held according to a published schedule, but special appointments may be arranged where necessary, and applicants may submit tapes when auditions are not feasible. Auditions should include technical exercises, scales and arpeggios, and at least three compositions of different periods and in different styles.

Students wishing to be admitted to freshman classification as majors in applied music areas must demonstrate on:

Piano, the ability to play any scale or arpeggio in moderately rapid tempo, hands together; standard studies, such as Czerny, Op. 299, Bk. 1; easier classical sonatas; a short romantic work; and a work by Bach equivalent to an Invention or Prelude and Fugue.

A thorough knowledge of the basic technique of the chosen instrument; basic improvisation skills as they relate to standard jazz literature.

Academic Minors

A music student may elect to pursue an academic minor in other undergraduate schools and colleges at Howard University. Such minors will usually require 18 hours of credit which may be taken concurrently with the prescribed music curriculum. Students electing an academic minor may expect to add 6 to 12 hours to the number normally required for graduation. The selection of an academic minor must be declared in writing and submitted to the music advisor and the student must consult with the appointed advisor in the academic field. The academic minor does not replace music minors required in the various curricula.

Private Lessons

Private lessons are available to non music majors at a fee set by the University.

Special Degree Requirements&emdashUndergraduate Students

Practice studios are provided by the Department of Music for authorized persons only. Students enrolled in applied music courses are expected to practice daily.

Recital attendance is an important part of the music student's training and is required for 75 percent of all Department of Music sponsored recitals in each semester. A grade of unsatisfactory (U) will result if this minimum requirement is not met. Department of Music sponsored recitals include the weekly student recitals, senior recitals, faculty recitals, and recitals and lectures by visiting artists.

A student receiving an unsatisfactory (U) grade in Student Recital must complete satisfactorily a 3 credit music course outside of the curricular requirements, selected by the student with the advisor's approval. A request for change of applied music instructor may be considered before the junior year and may not be made without permission of the Department of Music chairman. The Performance Examination (jury) is required each semester of all students who have completed two full semesters of Applied Music study at the major or minor level. In the area of Ear Training, students are required to pass a Comprehensive Examination following 400004 and 400 012 in order to pass these courses.

The Technical Examination is a comprehensive examination required of students taking major or minor courses in Applied Music.

The Proficiency Examination is required of non keyboard music majors enrolled in Functional Piano courses for two years. This examination is also required of all music education majors as a prerequisite for student teaching. It may be taken at the end of any semester during the freshman or sophomore year upon recommendation of the piano instructor. Additional study, which may be required to pass the proficiency examination, will be on a noncredit basis.

Performance requirements in the form of recital appearances are made by the students in their area of specialization. Recital descriptions and requirements follow.

Major Qualifying Recital: a 30 to 40 minute qualifying recital in the second semester of the sophomore year, required of students who desire certification for upper level study as Applied Music majors.

Senior Major Recital: a solo recital, of at least one hour in length, required of all graduating seniors in applied music.

Senior Minor Recital: given jointly by two students (in exceptional cases, three students). Music education majors of special attainment in their Applied minor may be granted permission to give a full recital, upon recommendation of their instructor and approval of the applied music faculty.

Student Recital/: weekly Recital is essentially a ``performance laboratory." Beginning with the sophomore year, majors in applied music are required to appear on student recitals twice each semester. Applied music minors must appear at least once each year beginning in the sophomore year.

Ensembles: all music students must participate for six semesters in a large ensemble of their area of performance, and two semesters in a small ensemble of their choice The following ensemble experiences are available according to categories: Orchestral Instruments Concert Band, Marching Band, Orchestra (available through the Consortium); Vocal University Choir, University Chorale, University Collegium; Keyboard accompaniment for large and small ensembles; Jazz Studies Jazz Ensembles; Music Education (Instrumental) Orchestra is required for 6 semesters for string players.
