A Half Recital consists of approximately 25 minutes of music, which is selected in consultation with the appropriate applied music instructor. For students lacking a previously documented chamber music experience, the Half Recital must include one selection of appropriate chamber music repertoire. Two students will share a single recital date and time, each performing for approximately 30 minutes. A Half Recital is required for B. Mus. majors and is optional, though encouraged, for BA majors. All Half Recitals require the appropriate instructor permission and may be given at the MUS 371 applied level or higher.
Students must obtain permission from either the Vocal or Instrumental Coordinator as appropriate in the semester prior to the proposed recital. Students who successfully perform a Half Recital may seek permission to be excused from performing a jury for the semester in which the recital occurred. Permission will be granted by the either the Vocal or Instrumental Coordinator, in consultation with the applied instructor.
The prospective recitalist must submit the Online Recital Booking Form by the last day of classes before CEP week of the semester prior to the proposed recital, and pass a recital jury at least four weeks prior to the scheduled recital date. At the recital jury, members of the applied music faculty will hear the student perform selections from his/her recital program. The student should be prepared to demonstrate a degree of technical and musical mastery of his/her program, sufficient to indicate to the faculty that a successful recital will be given. At the discretion of the music faculty, an unsuccessful recital jury will result in a re-scheduling or cancellation of the recital.
Arrangements for an accompanist must be made one semester in advance. A faculty/staff accompanist may not be able to accommodate all requests. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the student, not the BSC Music Department, to provide and secure accompanists. The appropriate applied music instructor must approve any arrangements for accompanying that are not covered by a faculty/staff accompanist.
To secure a faculty/staff accompanist for a student recital, the recitalist is required to register MUS 410 “Recital Accompanist”. This registration is to be concurrent with MUS 110 "Accompanist/Coach". This dual registration in MUS 110 and MUS 410 will afford the student 1 hour with the accompanist each week as well as provide for the dress rehearsal and performance.
The recital program must follow a standard format and be submitted for proofreading to the appropriate applied music instructor at least two weeks prior to the recital. Sample programs are available from the faculty. Following successful completion of the recital, a recital program music be submitted to the music office to be stored in the student files.

Full Recitals require the appropriate instructor permission and may be given at the MUS 373 applied level or higher.
Students must also obtain permission from either the Vocal or Instrumental Coordinator as appropriate in the semester prior to the proposed recital. Permission will be granted based on the student’s previous performance on a Half Recital and history of demonstrated preparation habits, availability of resources, and other factors.
