Jury Information
All piano majors (BA, Music Ed, and Music Performance) are required to do juries each year. Piano juries, as well as department-wide Sophomore Juries, will be held during Finals Week of each semester in Stretansky Recital Hall. A jury sign-up sheet for piano juries will be posted on the Piano Board (second floor by my office) towards the end of the semester. The Sophomore Jury sign-up sheet will be posted on the first floor in the practice room hallway. Any student giving a degree recital is exempt from doing a jury in that year (see Recital Hearing below). Any student petitioning to do an additional recital on top of their required degree recital(s) must sign up for the Sophomore department-wide jury, regardless of class year.
Freshmen:
Freshmen do a jury in both the fall and spring semesters.
Jury Requirements:
2 major and 2 harmonic minor scales, 4 octaves hands together, minimum 3 sharps or flats, student chooses keys
2 works of contrasting styles and periods
Fall semester: at least 1 work from memory; instructor may require both works from memory if short
Spring semester: BA students - at least 1 work from memory; BM students - both works from memory
Sophomores:
Sophomores do a department-wide jury during the spring semester only.
Jury Requirements:
2 major and 2 harmonic minor scales, 4 octaves hands together
BM students: 3 works of contrasting styles and periods, all from memory
BA students: 2 works of contrasting style and periods, at least 1 work from memory
Juniors:
Junior pianists do a jury during the spring semester only.

Recital Information: Recital Hearing and Recital Scheduling Information
BM Performance and BM Music Education students are required to give a recital(s) as part of their degree. BM Performance students give a half-recital (25 to 30 minutes) their junior year and a full recital (50 to 60 minutes) their senior year. BM Music Education students give a half-recital during either their junior or senior year. BA music major students are not required to give a recital for their degree. If you would like to give a non-degree recital, you must petition to do so with the Music Department faculty by signing up for a department-wide jury with the sophomore class the year prior to when you would like to do a recital.
To schedule your recital:
Scheduling of all recitals will now happen during the beginning of the fall semester. Schedule your recital date with Juli Boggs after conferring with all studio teachers involved and any accompanist(s) needed. You may also schedule a dress rehearsal time (two hour block) with Juli. Please make sure that your dress rehearsal time works for all students, accompanists, and studio teachers involved.
To schedule your Recital Hearing:
You must schedule a Recital Hearing to occur at least three weeks before your recital date. Three faculty members must be present at the Recital Hearing. It is recommended that you inquire with faculty as to their availability at least five weeks before your recital so you have ample time to find a date, time, and place for your hearing that works for everyone (faculty, performing student(s), and accompanists). Piano students should have their Recital Hearing in Stretansky Recital Hall. Once you have a date and time, you may reserve the hall through Juli Boggs.
