Music is offered at the University of North Dakota in the belief that it contributes to the aesthetic development of humankind. The UND Music Department seeks to provide a multi-faceted environment of excellence in which students and faculty realize their full potential as musicians and scholars. As a learning community, we value mutual respect and cooperation and we acknowledge local roots and a global perspective. An accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music, the Department of Music through its curricula and performance opportunities serves a broad constituency of students in their preparatory, life-long, pre-professional, and inservice learning endeavors.
Music courses that are specifically designed for general education include: Music 100, 101, 203, and Fine Arts 150. These courses, along with performing ensembles, can fulfill the Arts and Humanities portion of the University’s General Education Requirements. Individual lessons for credit are offered to music majors and minors, although talented non-majors may audition for lessons (Music 153) and are accepted in proportion to faculty loads.
Prior to admission to any of the music degree programs, students’ musical background and skills will be evaluated, and a meeting with the appropriate faculty member(s) will be scheduled. Prospective students are also encouraged to contribute any other materials (compositions, papers, recordings, etc.) for consideration. The purpose of this advisory process is to ensure that students are capable of college-level music study, and to select the degree program most appropriate to their goals and abilities.
The study of music at the University begins with a series of core courses common to all music major degree programs, along with individual lessons in the appropriate area and ensemble participation. Students must complete an audition in their major performing medium prior to acceptance for individual lessons. First-year students in a music major or minor should register initially for Music 130 and 131, as well as for individual lessons and the major ensemble within their area of concentration. In addition, music majors should also register for Music 133. Placement tests administered during the first week of classes will evaluate the student’s readiness for Music Theory. Deficiencies revealed by the examination may require remedial study in Music 101 prior to beginning Music 130 and 131. Upper-division courses are pursued in accordance with the specific degree program selected by the student.
Each music major degree program has a specific piano proficiency requirement, which all music majors must fulfill. Students in the Bachelor of Music degrees in Performance, Music Education, or Music Therapy must pass all levels of Piano Proficiency (Music 133, 136, 233, 236 or equivalent). Bachelor of Arts students must pass Piano Proficiency Level I (Music 133). These requirements must be met prior to graduation, or prior to registration for either Student Teaching or Music Therapy Internship.
Ensemble participation is a component of each
of the degree programs offered within the department.
Normally, students in the Bachelor of Music program
participate in an ensemble each semester of residence
except for the semester of student teaching.
For Music Education students this should be the
large ensemble of their major instrumental or
vocal area. The number of ensemble credits for
each degree is listed below. More information
about the ensemble requirement for each degree
program can be found in the Department of Music
Undergraduate Handbook available in the department
office.
Individual Applied Music Lessons are an essential
part of all music degrees. The number of applied
lesson credits for each degree is listed below.
Individual lessons and ensembles may be repeated
for credit without limitation. A maximum of 12
hours of credit in ensembles, however, may apply
for graduation.
The Bachelor of Music degree program offers majors
in Performance, Music Education, and Music Therapy.
The Performance major is designed for the student
who wishes to pursue a career in performance
and who has the ability and commitment to achieve
that goal. Students desiring admission into the
applied lesson sequence for performance majors
(Musc 155, 255, 355, 455) must present a formal
audition before the appropriate applied faculty.
Students accepted for this program must demonstrate
exceptional potential for performance excellence.
The Performance student is expected to pass a
qualifying jury examination on the major instrument
or voice by the end of the second year, to present
a shared recital during the third year, and to
present a full recital during the fourth year.
The Music Education major is designed for the
student who wishes to become a music teacher
in the elementary and secondary schools and is
intended to develop the requisite knowledge,
performance, and teaching abilities needed to
function as a professional music educator. The
student will select either an instrumental or
vocal/choral emphasis, culminating in the presentation
of a half recital. The successful completion
of this program will qualify the student for
state licensure in instrumental, choral, and
general music, grades K-12.
Music Education majors must complete seven semesters,
not semester hours, of applied lessons. They
are similarly required to complete a minimum
of seven semesters in a major performing ensemble
in their major performing area, i.e., Concert
Choir, Women’s Choir, Varsity Bards, Wind
Ensemble, University Band, or University Chamber
Orchestra.
The Music Therapy major is a competency-based program,
which includes both academic and clinical work,
culminating in an American Music Therapy Association
approved internship. Academic requirements include
courses in Sociology and Psychology as well as
Music and Music Therapy courses. Clinical requirements
include four levels of practica in a variety of
community settings under the guidance of a music
therapist in cooperation with community clinicians.
The program is designed to produce highly skilled
and broadly based music therapists who will meet
the requirements for accreditation by the American
Music Therapy Association.
The Bachelor of Arts degree program in music is
designed for the student who wishes a general liberal
arts education with emphasis in music. Along with
a broad coverage of the discipline, the student
selects an area of concentration, e.g., music history,
music theory, music technology, composition, culminating
in a final project.
In addition to examinations in traditional classroom
courses, student progress in Applied Lessons is
evaluated every semester through Applied Music
jury examinations. Assessment of progress towards
degree also includes a fourth-semester mid-program
review, and a pre-graduation review. Music Education
students must complete a portfolio review as required
by the Department of Teaching and Learning.
A Department of Music Student Handbook is available to students as a supplement to this catalog. That volume includes the most recent updates of policies and procedures and may supersede information presented here.
