Requirements
Juries will serve as the final examination in private instruction. In a ten-minute jury, the student will present a performance representative of that semester’s study. Juries are required every semester.
Repertoire
Students are expected to perform one or more solos demonstrating technical and musical proficiency appropriate to course level. Pieces will be selected by the student and teacher prior to the examination. The content of the material presented is at the discretion of the teacher but should exhibit continual progress and study undertaken during the semester. It is the student’s responsibility to make copies of the original for the jury panel. No scales required.
Evaluation
Written comments on a “Jury Evaluation Sheet” will be given to each student. A copy of this sheet will be retained by the instructor. The instructor’s copy, along with each student’s “Semester Repertoire Report” and the recommendation of the jury panel, will be placed in the student’s permanent file. The jury panel reserves the right to recommend or deny advancement to the next level, regardless of the grade awarded.
Each student who performs a jury is required to bring a completed Semester Repertory Report signed by the applied instructor. The form will include compositions begun and completed during the semester, completed compositions begun the previous semester, compositions begun but not completed, technical studies, and any ensemble music, chamber music, or accompaniments. This documentation will help faculty evaluate the progress of each student and allow the jury performance to consist of solo repertoire only. The semester repertoire report will prove invaluable to the student if there is ever a need to provide a comprehensive repertoire list.
Panels
Jury panels will consist of the applied instructor and two full-time faculty members.
