高级顶点 Projects

Senior Projects come in four broad types: composition project, music technology project, 朗诵和论文. 

学生 interested in doing a project should begin planning 和 even conducting preliminary work during their Junior year 和 be enrolled in the appropriate classes during the fall semester of their Senior year. For a general overview of the goals 和 expectations for a project, consult "So you want to do a senior project in music..." For complete details about prerequisites, about deadlines for proposing 和 completing a project, 和 about what to include in a project proposal, please consult the Music Major 顶石 projects guidelines. Please print both of these documents out 和 consult them frequently as you plan 你的项目.  

A key component is beginning work with the faculty advisor appropriate for the project. The advisor can help you define your particular interest 和 identify achievable goals. Discussions with the 椅子 of the Department are strongly encouraged.

For Composition, Music Technology, or Thesis projects, a brief (100 words) statement of the project concept must be given to the 椅子 by October 1, 和 a full written proposal for the projects is due to the 系主任 by November 15th. 这个提议 should be a thoughtfully prepared, thorough document outlining the scope of the project. (见 顶石 Project guidelines 欲知详情.)  

The faculty will consider proposals at the first faculty meeting in December. 学生 will meet individually with the faculty at that meeting to describe their proposals 和 to answer questions.

高级演出 require auditions in the semester preceding the recital. 请注意 the varying audition requirements for Classical 高级演出和 爵士高级独奏会. If you are considering auditioning, contact the current Head of the Artists-in-Residence 和 talk your plans through with your private teacher.  If a student wishes to perform a hybrid program, lecture-recital or combination of Classical 和 Jazz, students should consult with their studio instructor as well as the 音乐系 Senior Recital Auditions coordinator to determine appropriate audition requirements.
