Music faculty members have received recognition for distinguished achievements in conducting, composition, and performance. The faculty is also recognized for research in musicology and music education. Part-time applied music lecturers are all professional musicians.

The music department is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music.

Membership in Music Department performing ensembles (choral, orchestral, band, jazz, chamber, etc.) is open to UM-St. Louis students in all majors and minors. Admission to most ensembles is by audition (consent of the instructor). Music 1400, University Chorus, is open to all university students without audition.

General Information

Degrees and Areas of Concentration
The Department of Music offers programs of study leading to the B.M. degree in music education (and state teaching certification in grades K-12); the B.M. degree with an emphasis in performance; the B.M. degree with elective studies in business; and the B.A. degree in music.

Instruction in piano, organ, voice, and all band and orchestral instruments is given by full-time faculty and part-time professional musicians, many of who are members of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. Faculty recitals are regularly scheduled.

Music Minors Three minors in music are available: a minor in music; a minor in music education
(choral/vocal, grades K-9); and a minor in jazz studies.

Facilities All of the department's facilities, classrooms, rehearsal rooms, studios, practice rooms, and listening labs are located in the Music Building.

Undergraduate Studies

General Education Requirements
General education requirements apply to all majors, except students in the B.M. with elective studies in business and B.M. in music education degree programs who are not required to take a foreign language. Courses required for degree programs may not be taken on a satisfactory/ unsatisfactory basis. All music courses presented to meet degree requirements must be completed with a grade of C or better

Students may complete any number of hours of applied music (private lesson) toward a degree. Non-music majors may complete no more than 8 hours in music-performing organizations Music 1400(40), University Chorus; 1410(41A), University Singers; 1500(50), University Orchestra; 1520(52), University Band, et. seq. toward graduation, including credit transferred. Courses in applied music (private lessons and performing organizations) do not fulfill the humanities general education requirement. Department courses, which meet the non-Euro-American study requirement, are Music 1090(9), Non-Western Music I, and Music 1100(10), Non-Western Music II.

Degree Requirements
Admission to all music degree programs is by audition and interview to demonstrate musical aptitude and potential, moderate technical proficiency, and seriousness in selecting music as a four-year course of study. In addition to the applied music audition, examinations in music theory and music history must be taken. Students in applied music must pass a junior-standing examination to confirm their level of performance skills for enrollment in Music 3440 – 3459 (244 A – T) or Music 4440 – 4459(254 A – T). This examination is usually taken at the same time as the applied music jury for the fourth semester of enrollment in Music 1440 - 1459 (44 A – T).

Evidence of sound musicianship, a close acquaintance with an appropriate portion of musical literature, and the ability to bring it to actual performance are required for graduation in all music degree programs. Students in the bachelor of music-performance emphasis fulfill this requirement with junior and senior recitals. Those in all other degree programs must satisfy the requirement by participating in three regularly scheduled student recitals during the last two semesters of applied music study, or by performing for a special jury of faculty members. The faculty may invite students who are not in the bachelor of music-performance emphasis program to give public senior recitals with the recommendation of the applied music instructor.

Music majors are required to participate in an approved ensemble (University Band, University Singers, University Chorus, or Orchestra) and to study one applied area progressively each semester, and to attend pedagogy and literature seminars each semester of the degree program. (Music education majors are exempt from these requirements during the student teaching semester.) The following specific ensemble enrollments, depending upon the applied music area, are required:

Wind and percussion students—University Band; string students--University Orchestra; voice students

--University Singers; keyboard and guitar students--any approved ensemble, but those in the bachelor of music in music education program must enroll in an ensemble compatible with the teaching certification they are pursuing. Instrumental students may be required to participate in additional ensembles to enhance their musical development.

Majors are required to appear in performance at the department's discretion and to attend a prescribed number of departmental recitals. Non-keyboard players are required to pass an exam in piano proficiency: Music 2180(118), Intermediate Piano Proficiency, or equivalent for instrumentalists, or Music 3290(120), Intermediate Piano Proficiency, or equivalent for vocalists.

The music department may require students to pass a placement test in order to enroll in the next level course, provided this or an equivalent test is administered to all students seeking to enroll in that course.

Career Outlook

Undergraduate
A music degree builds the foundation for a career in professional performance, for teaching in a school or private studio or for serving as a church music director. A music degree may also prepare one for positions in the music industry (recording, publishing, radio programming, manufacturing, or music retail). A trained artistic mind can also be valuable in the fields of advertising, public relations, and consumer services.

A number of UM-St. Louis music graduates have been readily accepted into outstanding graduate programs, including that at UM-St. Louis. Many are pursuing successful careers in music education, business, and industry, or as professional performers.

Graduate
Many graduate students in music education will already hold full-time music teaching positions. A graduate degree in music education allows for continued professional growth. Music specialists may refine their teaching expertise, add to their understanding and knowledge about music and educational processes, become more specialized in a specific emphasis area of music education (choral, instrumental, general music or music technology), or any combination of these professional growth areas.

Graduate-level work in music education is often required to renew a teacher's certificate or to satisfy professional growth requirements specified by an employing school or school district or to advance to new positions within the field of music education.

Course Descriptions
Prerequisites may be waived by consent of the department.

Students who have earned 24 or more semester hours of credit at any accredited post-secondary institutions(s) before the start of the fall 2002 semester must meet the general education requirements stipulated in the UM-St Louis 2001-2002 Bulletin.
