SELECTING RECITAL DATES: Recital requests are for REQUIRED recitals only:

• Students eligible to participate in recital date selection are Performance Majors, Composition, Conducting, and students with Performance Honors who have required recitals.

• Students who wish to arrange a lecture recital who want to use a classroom will discuss this with their advisor and should schedule with Michelle directly.

• Elective recitals are available to music majors only, and only if scheduling is possible. Elective recitals must meet all recital requirements, including faculty approval, a passed PRJ, and meeting all deadlines for paperwork and program submissions.

Students generally select dates in the order below:

•  

  • FALL RECITALS - anyone who needs to schedule a recital but will be off campus in the spring

  • GRAD II – requests open for one week or until all required dates are confirmed, filled in order received

  • GRAD I – requests open when notified until all required dates are confirmed (if students do not reply, open dates will move to the next group after two attempts at contact), filled in order received
