NON-MUSIC MAJORS
Music
courses in the Fine Arts are a vital part of the General Education program
which is the foundation for all of the University's undergraduate degrees
(please note the music courses which have been approved for General Education
Credit). In addition, non-majors may also enroll in performance ensembles and
private lessons with the consent of the instructor.
THE MAJORS
The Department of
Music offers two degree programs. One program leads to the Bachelor of Music
degree, with a major in music performance, or a major in music education. The
second program leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree, with a major in music. The
Bachelor of Music degree is pursued by students planning a professional career
in music performance or in music education. The Bachelor of Arts degree with a
major in music is pursued by students who seek an emphasis in music within the
context of a Liberal Arts education. Incoming students who seek a music degree
are urged to declare their major as early as possible in order to come under
music faculty advisement.
BACHELOR OF ARTS, 124 hours
The
program leading to the Bachelor of Arts Degree with a major in Music is
designed for students seeking a Liberal Education with a concentration in
music. The degree does not carry departmental recommendation for a teaching
certificate. Students pursuing this degree must complete the General Education
requirements common to all Bachelor of Arts programs (with the addition of a
correlate requirement in the Social Sciences of AN 120), and the following
music requirements:

BACHELOR OF MUSIC
The Bachelor
of Music degree is a professional degree, designed for students who wish to
pursue careers in musical performance or music education. Majors are offered in
Music Performance and in Music Education. Freshmen who plan to pursue the
Bachelor of Music degree should have acquired reasonable skill in musical
performance before enrolling at Washburn. The following requirements must be
met for the Bachelor of Music degree:
Fourth Semester Performance Examination
-
Students aspiring to the B.M. degree will be examined by the
faculty at the end of the fourth semester of study for achievement in the
following four categories: 1) Performance proficiency, 2) Satisfactory
attendance and academic performance in all music major courses, 3) Successful
completion of the Rhythmic Proficiency Exam, and 4) Recital attendance.
Probation will be given to anyone who does not meet one or more of the four
categories of achievement. If the student receives probation at the end of the
second hearing the student will forfeit their status as a candidate for the
degree.
Senior Recital Jury Examination
A Senior Recital is required of all candidates for the Bachelor of Music
degree. For the recital to be credited toward the degree the student must be
currently enrolled for credit in private lessons. At least three weeks prior to
the scheduled public performance, the student will perform a complete recital
before a jury composed of his/her private teacher and two other faculty. If the
jury agrees, the student will then be allowed to present the recital publicly.
Recital Attendance
Students are
required to attend 12 approved recitals and concerts each semester for the
first four semesters of enrollment for a total of 48 recitals. Failure to meet
this obligation will result in probationary status being imposed during the
fifth semester.
Piano Proficiency
Candidates for
the Bachelor of Music degree, except those majoring in piano or organ
performance, are required to enroll in piano during each semester of full-time
enrollment until successful completion of the piano proficiency
examination.
Membership in Large Ensembles
All candidates except Piano/Organ performance majors are required to
participate in two large ensembles (band, orchestra, choir, etc.) each semester
of full-time enrollment. Keyboard majors and concentrations must participate in
Accompanying (Music 244, 444) during each semester of full-time enrollment and
must show enrollment in both large and small ensembles prior to graduation.
Music Education majors with a concentration in Keyboard may count accompanying
as one of their major ensembles. Music Education majors may count only six
hours of large ensemble credit toward graduation.
