Music Performance

MUSic Performance courses which encompass studio and class lessons are offered in voice, piano, organ, carillon, violin, viola, violoncello, string bass, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, tuba, percussion, saxophone, harpsichord, recorder and historical instruments. These courses are primarily for music majors and are open to non-majors only by audition and consent of the instructor.

The student registering for the first time for courses in music performance reports to the Director of Admissions in the School of Music, who designates a faculty member to audition and/or consult with the student and assign the student to the proper level and performance course number.

S-U Grade options and auditing of courses in Music Performance are not permitted. Performance courses (1000 level) emphasize basic techniques. Music education, theory/composition, music history/literature, church music, and B.A. majors, secondary and non-majors take these courses in their first year.

Performance courses (2000 level) emphasize repertory and mastery of the basic techniques of the performing medium. Students majoring in performance will begin 2000 level courses in the first year.

Performance courses (3000 level) and (4000 level) are for advanced study. A student takes two semesters at the 3000 level. A full performance faculty jury exam is required for admission to 4000 level. Two semesters at the 4000 level are required of all performance and church music majors. Degree recitals must be presented at the University of Florida. All students accepted for music performance study must register and participate in an appropriate ensemble each semester of study. Consult the Department of Music student handbook for further information on the ensemble policy.

The performer’s certificate will be awarded at the discretion of the faculty to non-performance degree students who complete the graduation requirements of the (4000) level. Students must be recommended by their performance teacher for the performer’s certificate program at the beginning of their junior year.

Courses in performance, theory/composition, music history/literature and music education at the 3000-4000 level may be taken only after a student has achieved professional status by passing the musicianship assessment jury and the preprofessional performance jury. Other requirements include successfully completing musical styles, four semesters of ensemble (if required for degree) and four semesters of satisfactory recital attendance.

Since some students may need additional time to successfully complete the musicianship assessment jury and the preprofessional performance jury, students will be allowed to register for up to nine hours at the 3000 level prior to becoming a professional level music major. Consult the Department of Music Student Information Handbook for a list of specific 3000-4000 level courses which can be taken before achieving professional level status.

Non-majors may only take music performance courses and certain others after an audition with the instructor and the student is found acceptable to the studio, space available only. Courses are departmentally controlled and all students must see an academic advisor in music before registration.
