The sounds that we hear sung or played have a deep meaning to us. The study of music develops the student's ability to understand and communicate that meaning through performance, composition, music history, theory, and experiences in teaching. Within the framework of the liberal arts offerings of the college, the study of music provides a rigorous technical preparation while fostering the growth of both mind and spirit. At St. Olaf, music majors have the opportunity to pursue study in instruments or voice, composition, music education, music history, and music theory, and to participate in a wide range of vocal and instrumental ensembles. Music ensembles and many areas of study are also open to non-music majors. GENERAL EDUCATION CREDIT Among the courses that meet the Artistic and Literary Studies requirement of the General Education curriculum are: Performance Studies (lessons in voice and instruments), The Art of Music, The Music Spectrum, Composition I, World Music, Orchestral Music, Music in the Electronic Medium, History of Jazz, and America's Hit Parade. DEGREES OFFERED The Music Department offers Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Music degrees, which are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music: BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE IN MUSIC This is a liberal arts degree, with approximately one-third of the course work in music. It is available in general music studies, or with a Teaching Credential, or with emphasis in History-Literature or Theory-Composition. The breadth of study of a liberal arts degree offers students a wide range of career options in music and related fields. Examples include performance, broadcasting, arts administration, advertising, education, arts journalism, music librarianship, or music therapy. Graduate study is also an option. BACHELOR OF MUSIC
AUDITIONS, EXAMS, AND FEES Auditions and Musicianship Exams Lesson Fees CANDIDATES FOR TEACHER EDUCATION Applications for the Music Education program, both B.A. and B.M., are processed in the second semester of the sophomore year. All prospective music education students are classified as B.A. music majors until that time, except for students who, by audition, received provisional acceptance into the B.M. Music Education program before beginning their studies at St. Olaf. Before applying to the Teacher Education program, the student must have completed or be enrolled in Music 112 (Ear Training II), Music 114 (Theory II), and Music 251 (Conducting). The application procedure includes a performance on a recital and examinations in conducting (Music 251) and piano proficiency. Students are reviewed for continuance in the Teacher Education program, usually in the first semester of the junior year. The continuance procedure includes a performance in a recital, examinations in conducting (Music 252 or 253), piano and guitar proficiency and observations of teaching behavior, which are assessed in Education 330 (Principles of Education). A student not approved for continuance in the program is no longer in that program. A student whose principal performing instrument is piano must perform on both piano and the secondary instrument in recital during the entrance and continuance semesters.

DISTINCTION Senior music majors, upon nomination by a music faculty member and a two-thirds majority vote of the Music Department faculty, are eligible for departmental distinction in Music, and will be advised of this fact by October 1 of their senior year. Senior candidates wishing departmental distinction are required to do a special project in their major area of emphasis. Examples of projects include: a full recital (Performance and Church Music); a major paper (History-Literature); a substantial composition (Theory-Composition); a student teaching portfolio (Music Education). Exceptions to the typical distinction project will be considered by the Music Department faculty. A music faculty member must approve the project and serve as project advisor. For each senior project, the department chair will solicit three faculty members who will serve on an evaluation committee. Each member of the committee assigns a letter grade to the project along with a recommendation and comments which are shared with the full music faculty. A two-thirds majority vote of the Music Department faculty in favor of granting distinction is required.
