Bachelor of Music (Education)

The mission of the School of Music at Chapman University is to provide education in music with emphasis on traditional academic disciplines, combined with concern for development of personal performance skills, within the setting of a liberal arts institution. While specificity may be self-limiting, an education with focus on understanding the basic principles found in the
finest of Western musical traditions will provide the tools necessary for future developments, even if they are stylistically, educationally, or technically diverse.

Consistent with the broad mission of the university, our aim is to produce responsible citizens, well-informed about the past, and able to contribute to the future. The School of Music concentrates on undergraduate education, offering the bachelor of arts in music and pre-professional programs leading to the bachelor of music in composition, conducting, music education, music therapy, and performance (conducting, instrumental, and vocal). Further, our aim is to enrich the artistic atmosphere of the campus and community and to provide opportunity for creative, re-creative, and scholarly excellence.

Chapman University first offered the bachelor of music degree in 1930-31, and has striven to present thorough music curricula, blended with liberal learning ever since. The university's music facilities compare with institutions far larger in size and offer a fine setting for both instruction and musical presentations. The School of Music is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music.

Admission to Degree Programs

Students interested in pursuing any of the degree programs in music should have completed three credits of English, two credits of a foreign language, one credit of history, and one credit of mathematics in high school. In addition, students will be auditioned as performers, appropriate to their objectives, and will be tested on their basic knowledge of music at the time of entrance.
Those not passing will be advised to take remedial study and will not be admitted to Mus 133 Theory I until sufficient basic knowledge or proficiency can be shown.

Transfer students with advanced standing are required to take placement tests in theory and piano and their principal performance area. Credit for music courses may be transferred from an accredited institution upon demonstration of competence.

Students may declare an intention to major in composition at entrance. Formal admission to the bachelor of music in composition degree program normally will be granted prior to the junior year, after competence levels in theoretical work, compositional skills, and demonstrated potential have been evaluated by a jury of faculty, headed by a composition professor,
to determine the appropriateness of the degree objective.

Students accepted into the program must demonstrate an acceptable level of proficiency on a major instrument or voice. A senior recital must be completed with approval of, and while enrolled for study with, the student's major professor of composition.

Students may declare an intention to major in conducting at entrance. Formal admission to the bachelor of music in performance, conducting emphasis program normally will be granted prior to the junior year, after student preparation and demonstrated potential have been evaluated by a jury of faculty, headed by the instrumental or choral conducting professor, to determine the appropriateness of the degree objective. Students admitted into the program must demonstrate an acceptable level of proficiency on a major instrument or in voice, and appropriate keyboard skills. A senior recital must be completed with approval of, and while enrolled for study with, the student's major professor of conducting.

Students may declare an intention to major in music therapy at entrance. Formal admission to the bachelor of music in music therapy degree program normally will be granted prior to the junior year, after theoretical work, music performance skills, and demonstrated potential for success in the field of music therapy have been evaluated by a committee headed by the director of
music therapy.

Applied Music Courses
Applied music lessons in voice, orchestral instruments, guitar, piano, and organ are available to any student regardless of major. Performance organizations are open to all students with consent of the instructor. All individual lessons for credit must be taken with applied music faculty of the Chapman School of Music. Students enrolled in applied private instruction should not be
studying the same performance area concurrently with another teacher.

All students enrolled in applied music lessons are encouraged to enroll concurrently in the appropriate section of Mus 116/ 316 Master Class, ½ credit. Students pursuing degrees in performance, vocal, and instrumental emphases, and those in music education are required to do so.

Students taking lessons for credit are required to take jury examinations at the end of each semester, regardless of their major. All music majors must pass a piano proficiency examination, normally taken prior to the junior year. All or part of the four-credit piano requirement may be waived, depending on demonstrated piano proficiency.

Student recitals are presented under the auspices of the School of Music with the permission of the appropriate applied music faculty member and the dean. Student recitals are presented only by those currently enrolled for private applied music instruction with appropriate Chapman applied music faculty.

All music majors are required to participate in at least one major ensemble each semester while in full-time residence.

Bachelor of Arts in Music
In addition to the following requirements, students seeking the bachelor of arts in music should have a knowledge of German, French, or Italian. Six semester hours must be selected from one or a combination of those languages, in addition to the foreign language component of the Chapman Common Requirements. This requirement can be met in whole or part by examination. Students who want to build on previous language study will be tested by the foreign language department for placement in the course for which they seem best qualified.
