SECTION I OPERATIONS ANALYSES AND PROJECTIONS

A Purposes of the Institution and Music Unit

The purposes of Kentucky State University and its Music Unit are delineated within the following components of the Management Documents Portfolio Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue pp 10-19 p 150 pp 156-157 Exhibit A2a KSU Mission and Vision and Exhibit A2b DOFA Mission and Vision These exhibits support our belief that the mission goals and objectives of the Music Unit are directly related to strategically aligned with and fully supportive of the mission goals and objectives of Kentucky State University Furthermore taken together Exhibit I1 MusicKentucky State University Website Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and Exhibit A2c KSU 2016-2020 Strategic Plan offer further documentation that planning assessment and comprehensive strategic efforts are ongoing Both strategic planning efforts relied on rigorous SWOT analyses and have resulted in performance objectives that are designed to address current and perceived threats to the institution and the Music Unit respectively More important the Music Unit ensures common understanding and compliance with both plans through the strategies delineated within the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan

The 2006 NASM self-study identified the Universitys liberal studies mission as a tremendous opportunity for the Unit via its Bachelor of Arts degree options All of our recent strategic efforts fully acknowledge the importance of KSUs liberal arts programs because they draw upon the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage and the goals objectives articulated within our Strategic Plan as well as the resulting curricular experiences of the Music Unit reflect that unique diversity and heritage and are threshold compliant They are designed to satisfy the requirements of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education the Kentucky Department of Education the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education the Kentucky Association of College Music Departments and the National Association of Schools of Music

Definitions of major minor concentration track emphasis etc are clearly delineated within Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue pp 58-61 Music Unit goals objectives and course offerings are adopted by a consensus of the Music faculty and transmitted through the University administrative structuremdashthe Chairperson of the Division of Fine Arts (currently the Music Executive) the Dean of the College of Arts Social Sciences and Interdisciplinary Studies and the ProvostVice President for Academic Affairsmdashto the President for approval Objectives of new programs must also be transmitted to the appropriate University committeemdashthe Curriculum Committee of the Faculty Senate or the University Teacher Education Committee

Page 4 of 60

The strategic goals objectives policies and procedures of the Music Unit are transmitted

1 To students through meetings with their major advisors regularly scheduled meetings with music students and faculty members Music Unit brochure the University Catalogue and other various written communications such as the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook

2 To University administrators and faculty through Unit meetings Fine Arts Divisional meetings University Teacher Education Committee meetings departmental brochures Faculty Senate meetings and written communications through the University administrative chain and

3 To the public through the University Catalogue Music Unit brochures website recruitment visits and meetings of professional music organizations attended by members of the Music faculty

Upon approval the Music Units objectives are summarized in the University Catalogue and other public communications

B Size and Scope andC Finances

Sections B and C are combined for the sake of clarity and continuity Once again statements of purposes and specific aims for Kentucky State University and the Music Unit are delineated in Exhibit A2a KSU Mission and Vision and Exhibit A2b DOFA Mission and Vision respectively

Not unlike many similar institutions over the past eight years Kentucky State University has been significantly challenged to overcome the fiscal impediments caused by the Great Recession a plummeting stock market and revised student aid guidelines These circumstances caused the entire institution to implement austere measures that were necessary to simply allow it to remain open and viable Additional mitigating issues have resulted from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years necessitating an increased tuition burden on our students as indicated in Exhibit I7 Costs of Attendance

Exhibit C1 Music Budget Trends indicates that while such austerity remains highly necessary the Music Unit has maintained a commensurate level of institutional support Music enrollments have remained stable and the Unit has been able to expand its curricular offerings and experiences to include more strategic focus on the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage As is indicated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments the University maintains sufficient enrollment to cover the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and to support the various service courses offered by the Music Unit

The ensemble experiences provided are diversemdashranging from small instrumental and vocal ensembles the OperaMusical Theater Workshop to large ensembles such as the Concert Choir Symphonic Band the Commercial Music Ensemble Jazz Ensemble and Marching

Page 5 of 60

Thorobred Band The vitality of these ensembles is evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

The size of the Music Unit although small is comparable to that of other universities of similar size and as delineated within Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors ndash Fall 2016 our enrollment of student majors has remained steady With the exception of a string specialist academic and applied disciplines are adequately addressed Despite limited operating resources the Music Unit is consistently able to advance its mission goals and objectives As is indicated by the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae Exhibit E3 Faculty Teaching Assignments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit A1 Faculty Kentucky State University 2016 Catalogue pp 554-564 the Unitrsquos faculty is academically well-prepared and committed to the delivery of a current quality curriculum that prepares its students for professional careers

The 1996 NASM self-study identified the need for additional classroom office practice and storage space and that need has yet to be fully addressed Even though additional space is needed the Unit continues to do remarkably well at creatively leveraging the current available space and resources toward the advancement of our program Exhibit B1 HEADS DATA SUMMARIES and Exhibit C1 Music Budget Trends provide additional datainformation as it regards affirming threshold compliance with the respective standards of these two sections

D Governance and Administration

The internal organization of the Music Unit and its relation to the institutional structure are indicated in the Exhibit D1 Organizational Chart and faculty governance and administrative responsibilities are clearly delineated within Exhibit D4 Governance and Administrative Responsibilities Consistent with the by-laws of the Board of Regents established University policies and procedures and the Constitution of the University Faculty Senate the Music Unit faculty maintains a vital role in the collegial governance of the University Through the Faculty Senate various committees councils and task forces the faculty approves curricular changes and makes recommendations to the administration in many other areas Copies of these policies and procedures are available in various University documents such as the Appendix 4 KSU Faculty Handbook 2011 and the Faculty Senate Constitution The faculty of the Music Unit holds regularly scheduled meetings In addition it meets in special general sessions on the call of the Provost the President or at the request of a number of its membership as prescribed by its rules Copies of the minutes of faculty meetings are provided to the President the Provost Nice President for Academic Affairs the secretary of the University Faculty Senate and each member of the Music Unit faculty Within the limits established by University policies and the Faculty Senate Constitution the faculty of the Music Unit determines the educational policies of the unit

Noticeably absent from this current organizational structure are the deanship levels that have been associated with this structure for the past self-study cycles which were eliminated in 2015 The music executiversquos responsibilities and authority are clearly articulated and delineated within the Exhibit D3 Chairpersonrsquos Job Description The elimination of the deanship administrative

Page 6 of 60

level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive and necessitated a streamlined and closer working relationship with upper level administrators which has been highly effective

While the Exhibit D5 Chairpersonrsquos Duties and Responsibilities clearly delineates the direct responsibilities as well as the respective methods of appointment and evaluation regarding the music executive it is highly unclear regarding the term of the chief music executive The communication policies and patterns within the Music Unit are consistent with those delineated within the institutionrsquos Exhibit D6 Communications Policy and are threshold compliant

The issue of clerical professional and technical support is a constant concern of the Music Unit The Unit shares one administrative secretary with the Areas of Art and SpeechCommunicationTheater and reports to the Chairperson of the Division of Fine Arts Not unlike the previously referenced impact of austere measures this component of the program is also impacted and the Unit has lost one principal secretary position since the last self-study of 2006 To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending Exhibit D7 Clerical Professional and Technical Support delineates the Music Unitrsquos clerical professional and technical support

Exhibit D8 Jointly Administered Programs delineates the Music Unitrsquos jointly administered program and the Unitrsquos collaboration with the institutionrsquos Teacher Education Program is threshold compliant

E Faculty and Staff

Perhaps the most obvious impact of necessary and continuing institutional austerity has been absorbed by Unit faculty lines The number of Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time (exclusive of the Music Executive) and 3 part-time positions Since the last Self Study the program has experienced the retirement and loss of longstanding and seasoned components of its faculty and as indicated by the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table we have attempted to replace those position lines in as creatively and effectively as possible The aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals remains appropriate to cover the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

Exhibit E1a Faculty Loading Guidelines delineates the Music Unitrsquos specific policies and procedures for calculating faculty loads which has proven highly effective in ensuring and maintaining the equity delineated within the Exhibit E3 Faculty Teaching Assignments

The facilitation of exemplary teaching and ample Professional Development opportunities are highly related standards and are foundations of the Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN Exhibit E1c Demonstration of Teaching Effectiveness Checklist and Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae provide additional datainformation as it regards threshold compliance with these respective standards

Page 7 of 60

Likewise Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion Exhibit E5 Policy on Compensation and Exhibit E6 Faculty Fringe Benefits offer supportive evidence of threshold compliance as it regards (1) the institutionrsquos published policies concerning appointment tenure and promotions for full-time and part-time faculty and (2) compensation increases in salary and fringe benefits

F Facilities Equipment Technology Health and Safety

The Music Unit is located in the west wing of Bradford Hall which is further and specifically detailed within Exhibit F1 Facilities

In addition to the Music Unit facilities Bradford Hall houses two performance hallsmdashBradford Hall Auditorium (900 capacity) and the Little Theatre (250 capacity)mdashas well as facilities in the buildings east wing for the School of Business Consequently there is heavy traffic in the building from students faculty staff and the community

The performance halls related facilities (stage shop green room and dressing rooms) and equipment (two concert grand pianos a 56 grand piano a Steiner pipe organ one upright pianos lighting risers etc) are used extensively by on- and off-campus groups for a variety of arts and non-arts eventsmdashincluding Music Unit large and small ensemble concerts student and faculty solo recitals the annual Middle School Band Workshop guest artist performances and Frankfort Arts Foundation concerts

While these performance halls and their utilization policies are sufficient for the purposes of the Unit this is not the case (when considering the mission goals and objectives of the Music Unit and its faculty) as all regard the general state of the Bradford Hall physical plant and future facilities and equipment needs Exhibit F1 Facilities provides specific recommendations that were proposed during the last Self-Study to address the facilities needs of the Music Unit which have yet to be fully addressed Those recommendations were developed in accordance with music instructional facilities guidelines published by MENCmdashThe National Association for Music Education To date the University administration continues to seek ways to address the facilities needs of the Music Unit and to ensure threshold compliance

Additionally Blazer Library houses the Music Listening Laboratory and compact disc sound recording collection as detailed in the following Section G Library and Learning Resources

Exhibit F2 Comprehensive Music Inventory delineates the Music Unitrsquos current inventory of equipment and technology for music as required by the institution While that inventory has well-served the Unit Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements further delineates critical enhancements that have been proposed for expanding the Unitrsquos technology and curricular capabilities and ensuring threshold compliance

Page 8 of 60

Kentucky State University maintains a 24-hour Police Department to provide security for the campus Officers duties include the monitoring of Bradford Hall and maintaining its general security Additionally faculty and staff are accountable to the extent possible for the security of the specific areas under their direct control to avoid thefts of equipment and vandalism

The Division of Fine Arts Chairperson (the Music Executive) Campus Police and University Facilities Management officials continue to monitor and address security and safety issues Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp5-6 delineates the Music Unitrsquos means for informing students and others regarding health and safety issues hazards and procedures inherent to practice performance teaching and listening both in general and as applicable to their specialization Recent key stakeholders survey results regarding hazards health and safety issues indicate that this strategy is meeting with mixed results regarding threshold compliance

G Library and Learning Resources

The Music Unit does not maintain a music library separate from the campus library However the Unit does have access to the library learning and information resources necessary to fulfill its mission goals and objectives which are appropriate for the size and scope of its operations and threshold compliance

Exhibit G1a Narrative clearly delineates the operational standards governance and administration collections development personnel services access facilities and finances associated with the Paul G Blazer Library in accordance with University policy approved by the Board of Regents

The Paul G Blazer Library music collections learning and information resources and listening accommodations are delineated within Exhibit G1b Comprehensive Holdings Exhibit G1d Music Periodicals Exhibit G1e Music Scores Exhibit G1f Music Titles and Exhibit G1c Music Listening Lab respectively

The Music Unit additionally maintains the Music Technology Laboratory (BH-G8) which accommodates structured listening activities As previously discussed above Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements delineates those critical enhancements of the Laboratory deemed necessary to bring the facility to threshold compliance Finally the operational policies and procedures for access are appropriate to the needs of the Unitrsquos students and faculty and are delineated within Exhibit G1g Music Technology Lab Policies

H Recruitment AdmissionndashRetention Record Keeping and Advisement

The Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices are governed by and in accord with those of the University as delineated within Exhibit A1 Admissions Policy and Procedures KSU 2016 Cataloguepp21-26 p29 Additionally to insure ethical recruitment practices statewide the Kentucky Association of College Music Departments (KACMD) has established the following guidelines for accepting music scholarships at any public or private college or university in Kentucky

(1) Students accepting their awards are declaring their intent to attend the school making the offer

(2) Students may accept a music scholarship from only ONE member institution

(3) The written acceptance of music scholarships from more than one member institution signed after May 1 will result in the withdrawal of scholarship offers to the student by member institutions involved

(5) Awards may be offered and accepted only in written form Verbal commitments are not permissible and are not binding

(6) Upon accepting scholarships from a member institution students cannot be released from their commitment to that institution without written permission from the schools music executive

(7) Transferring students are ineligible for music scholarships at the new institution until the completion of one semester of full-time study unless specifically released in writing by the music executive of the original school

The Unitrsquos Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with these policies Furthermore both Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and Exhibit A2c KSU 2016-2020 Strategic Plan articulate clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories that are designed to offset the sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment experienced over the past five years Our efforts are additionally better facilitated through the Unitrsquos Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals

Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow facilitates our efforts to ensure that all prospect communications are in accord with the Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices and specific procedures and music unit standards used for prospect and student placements are delineated within Exhibit A1 Program Proficiency Expectations KSU 2016 Catalogue pp156-157

The Music Unit fully acknowledges sustaining an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both recruitment and retention and our respective efforts additionally acknowledge the critical role assumed by intrusive advisement strategies in reaching the Unitrsquos retention trajectories While Exhibit H3a KSU Centralized Advising Model delineates Kentucky State Universityrsquos procedures for student advisement the Music Unit has assumed a

Page 10 of 60

more intrusive model of advising and counseling through its Exhibit H3b DOFA Advising Handbook For example Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting ensures that every music major experiences a comprehensive review before the entire Unit faculty each semester of their matriculation In our pursuit of threshold compliance these reviews have been highly effective in (1) identifying specific threats to individual student success (2) acknowledging and reinforcing positive behaviors (3) counseling majors on preparing for careers and anticipating the continuation of studies and (4) facilitating continuous student focus on the valuable precepts necessary for student success

Exhibit H4 KSU Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures delineates the institutional policy and procedures for the submission processing and consideration of student complaints Exhibit H5 KSU Teacher Educator Preparation Program delineates specific guidelines and procedures for counseling students preparing to be elementarysecondary specialist music teachers and are threshold compliant

Exhibit H6 KSU Department of Music Advisee Folio Required Components delineates the mandatory and required components of each student folio which fully informs the Unitrsquos advising and counseling efforts Student data is updated continuously during each semester by Music faculty advisors who have real-time access via their office computers to student academic and financial records maintained on the Universitys student information system This process is threshold compliant and these data are contained in curriculum checklists which clearly specify graduation andor certification requirements and are included in each music majors folio along with a current transcript and other documents pertaining to their academic progress Students repertory studied and performances are recorded at the end of each semester on the Applied Music Record form Faculty members have immediate access to most student records via their personal computers

Digital recording resources are in place in Bradford Hall Auditorium nevertheless no policy is in place to require the recording and maintenance of audio andor video tape recordings for an archival record of a students performance of the junior or senior recital Any audio andor video recording that takes place is usually effected through the efforts of the individual applied instructors or the student

Finally the specific means of assessing our progress on these critical issues are delineated within Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan and specifically detailed below in Section N of the Self-Study

Page 11 of 60

I Published Materials and Web Sites

The institution and the Music Unit ensure threshold compliance in all of its published materials Those materials are clear detailed accurate and readily available

Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue Appendix 3 KSU Student Handbook and Appendix 4 KSU Faculty Handbook 2011 represent the primary repositories of the institution and the Unitrsquos policies and procedures and those publications are cited throughout this document in providing evidence of threshold compliance with respective standards

Likewise the Kentucky State University website provides online portable document format files calendars and other accessible information of interest Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit delineates the various accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates Promotional materials associated with the student recruitment process provided by the Office of Admissions are comparable in content and format to those of the other state-supported and private colleges and universities in Kentucky The Music executive has secured permission to directly control and revise the contents of the Unitrsquos website which has resulted in critical updates and enhancements such as Exhibit J2 Echoes Our Online Newsletter The Music Unit continuously updates the contents and information contained within those materials as well within the University website

A comprehensive listing with appropriate exhibit links of all relevant materials are included within Section IV the Management Documents Portfolio Contents Table of this Self-Study as Section I Published Materials and Website and are threshold compliant

K Community Involvement

The Music Unit maintains a documented commitment to the cultural enrichment of the Frankfort community and the University service area counties For example the Unitrsquos Exhibit J3 The Keys to the Community Project and Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation

Threshold compliance is advanced through the Unitrsquos Arts in Education initiative where ensembles such as the Marching Thorobred Band Jazz Ensemble our new Commercial Music Ensemble Concert Choir Show Choir and Gospel Ensemble regularly perform for University public schools and community events and the OperaMusical Theater Workshop has presented numerous performances of operas and opera scenes for area public schools Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdashwas established to create musical awareness in young children enrich their self-esteem enhance their social skills and reinforce basic literacy skills

Page 12 of 60

through community outreach activities Although the initiative served as a critical component of the Unitrsquos community involvement it has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding and has been identified for revitalization in the Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements

N Evaluation Planning and Projections

The review and evaluation of the Music Unitrsquos current activities and planning to effect needed changes are the primary responsibility of the administrator of the Music Unit (Division of Fine Arts Chairperson) and involve all music faculty and the upper level administrators to whom the Chairperson reports Major structures and activities which provide planning projection of data and threshold compliance are the Music Unit Committee Structure and the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty which includes student evaluations of the music curricular experiences

The music faculty meeting represents the most critical component of the unit structure These meetings occur on an average of two or three times a month On a less regular basis the unit undergoes periodic assessment by outside agencies (such as SACS NASM NCATE) or external evaluators such as the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Educationrsquos Appendix 2 CPE Program Review-Music 2013 and Appendix 9 CPE Program Review -Music-2015 As previously noted within this Self-Study six of the Unitrsquos faculty have been appointed within the last two years and the Music executive ensures familiarity and compliance with these critical expectations through the Appendix 10 Faculty Responsibilities- Expectations And Compliance Policies and the Appendix 8 The Implementation of a Pre-tenure Mentorship and Advisory Council

Music Unit committees report to the Chairperson and to the Unit Faculty The Unit Curriculum Committee and Tenure and Promotion Committee make recommendations through the Chairperson and the Provost to the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee and to the University Tenure and Promotion Committee respectively The activities of these two committees are governed by University policies the Curriculum Committee by the Faculty Senate Constitution and the Tenure and Promotion Committee by Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion

Page 13 of 60

Unit faculty members meeting as a committee of the whole debate and make decisions in areas such as the academic program recruitment of students planning events and so forth Specific issues are advanced and discussed and the entire faculty always participates in major projects or initiatives such as this or any other self-study In other areas individual faculty members assist the chairperson with specific assignments On the whole our discussion of issues include the current status and the specific factors contributing to that status (evaluation) the necessary changes to bring about the desired future improvements (planning) and the metrics and trajectories that will demonstrate the attainment of those improvements (projections)

The evaluation of student achievement is facilitated in several ways which are further delineated within Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 and especially most recently Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 The Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination recitals keyboard proficiency assessments and Unit juries provide data on knowledge and skills acquired in music Surveys of graduates provide additional information on the relationship between quality of instruction and the music curriculum with success in post-graduate employment Correlation of these data and data from external evaluations are conducted by the Music executive Such overall assessments are generally presented to the music faculty acting as a committee of the whole These data become the basis for future planning

The main opportunity available to the Unitrsquos students to formally evaluate their curricular experiences is the Student Evaluation of Instruction which is further detailed on the next page of the Self-Study Additionally the evaluation of Unit faculty is facilitated by the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty and the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks

The Music Unit is guided by a newly (2015) developed Strategic Plan that embraces KSUrsquos rich history traditions and diversity in preparing our students for careers as practicing artists educators and performers Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan are provided as evidence of the Unitrsquos efforts and threshold compliance with the standards of this section of the Self-Study

The Music executive aggressively engaged all key stakeholders in a yearlong pursuit of the present long-term strategic plan That involvement was pursued in a critical effort to articulate and capture perceptual data from all key stakeholders ie our students faculty staff and alumni as they regard perceived Unit strengths weaknesses threats and opportunities We engaged our key stakeholders in this process since the efficacy of these efforts remain highly dependent on programmatic ownership

SWOT Analyses commenced in September of 2014 when formal surveys were administered to all key stakeholders seeking their vital perceptions and opinions The item responses of those surveys were tabulated commentary was aggregated and specific thematic trends were identified The Music executive pursued a yearlong period of observations in an effort to either validate or invalidate the themes that arose from the environmental scan The

Page 14 of 60

thematic trends that were validated through direct observation subsequently fully informed the construction and development of specific Goals Objectives and Strategic Priorities

The resulting Strategic Plan evolved from the unique value and positioning of Kentucky State University and the Music Unit moves to marketing communication and exemplary engagement as recruitment and retention mechanisms and finally addresses longstanding programmatic issues We view this as an integrated approach starting with each individual associated with the Unit and ending with a systematic view of all functions that make up the Unit and its programs

Our immediate vision has been aligned with the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks and seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices The Unit is additionally pursuing programmatic and curricular revisions which will maximize efficiency in matriculation and time-to-degree while expanding the latitude of options for meeting student competencies and proficiencies within the context of current accreditations Whether through presentations such as concerts recitals productions exhibitions lectures or workshops our global focus seeks to advance an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

Provided immediately below are the resulting Unit Goals with selective assessment commentary on the Unitrsquos current progress

GOAL 1 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Teaching Learning and Assessment

Unit faculty pursued the exhaustive development of Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes These outcomes are designed to better document the Unitrsquos evaluation of student achievement and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are aligned with the essential student competencies articulated by NASM NCATE and the institutional Appendix 11 Liberal Studies Core Essential Competencies

Unit faculty are subsequently utilizing Blackboard and Live Text to implement appropriate assessment modules as a means of assessing student achievement as it regards our SLOs and which are delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Faculty document the development and implementation of at least one major assessment project for each course of instruction and disseminate those assessments within the Annual Self Evaluation Form SES 1

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit I1 Music at Kentucky State University Website Unit faculty have significantly infused global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices a primary theme that resulted from our SWOT analyses We have implemented three additional Commercial ensembles and revitalized our elective courses in Jazz and African American Music

Page 15 of 60

Finally regarding Student Evaluations of Instruction the Unit has this year abandoned the more traditional opinion survey and migrated to the use of the IDEA assessment systems This change resulted from our observation that the previous survey instrument did little to measure teaching effectiveness nor to advance the improvement of instruction Exhibit E7 An Analysis and Critique of the Methods of Student Evaluation of Faculty pp 1-3 clearly delineates our rationale for doing so Moreover the primary benefit of this platform is that it requires the alignment of all questions or inquiries with specific student learning goals that are identified by each individual faculty member

GOAL 2 Implement intrusive recruitment strategies that will ensure a representative community of aspiring scholars artists and musicians

The Unit has developed and implemented Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures and Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting to immediately advance our recruitment and retention efforts Faculty are additionally implementing the EAB Campus Student Success Collaborative as an intrusive mode of student engagement Progress reports are generated throughout each semester for each student in each class under their instruction The impact of these innovations has been immediate as the Unit has exceeded its recruitment targets for the current year and expanded our first to second year retention rate to over 60

GOAL 3 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Scholarship Performance and Creative Activity

As is delineated within Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 the frequency and quality of performance seminars and recitals have doubled over the past two years Likewise Unit faculty creative activities have significantly increased as delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae

GOAL 4 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Service and Professional Development

As delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae Unit faculty service and professional development activities have significantly increased

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses In addition to the requirements of the students major field of study Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University The Liberal Studies Requirements are divided into two parts The General Core Requirements and the Integrative Studies Requirements

The previous 2006 Self-Study expressed legitimate concerns that the high credit hour requirement for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements consistently jeopardized new student recruitment efforts as well as placed additional burden on students matriculating through the Bachelor of Music degree program Two occurrences have mitigated those legitimate concerns and vastly improved the time-to-degree prospects for those students majoring in Music First the University has subsequently reviewed the Liberal Studies General Core and Integrative Studies Requirements and fully implemented the changes necessary to decrease those requirements for specific majors including Music

Second the university has mandated that all degree programs strictly adhere to a maximum of 120 credit hours for all baccalaureate degrees While this latter occurrence has necessitated critical curricular and experiential revisions they have required that the Unit approach threshold compliance from the perspective of meeting competencies through a variety on means and experiences as opposed to specifically designated courses Subsequent to the latter occurrence the Unit reorganized common courses within our degree options into a Music Core Curriculummdashwith instrumental keyboard and vocal major tracks

The implementation of various ldquoSpecializationsrdquo within the ldquoBachelor of Musicrdquo degree option represents a related by product of that curricular reorganization That strategy was

Page 17 of 60

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

4 History and Repertory

The Music Unit is committed to providing its students and the University community with a variety of musical experiences that are reflective of diverse stylistic historical and cultural traditions The Unit offers specific courses in music history and music literature that are designed to provide students with opportunities to study and examine such stylistic historical and cultural

Page 20 of 60

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

5 Synthesis

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

As such music majors at Kentucky State University demonstrate a synthesis of their musical study through numerous requirements and activities For example in the music theory sequence students must relate to music literature from a wide variety of musical periods and styles in several different ways historically analytically aurally and compositionally Moreover the Sophomore Proficiency applied music juries course examinations and Junior and Senior Recitals all provide opportunities to assess students abilities to synthesize their musical and educational experiences

IIA3 Teacher Education Programs

The Music Education Specialization is offered in conjunction with the School of Education Kentucky State Universityrsquos undergraduate Music Education program prepares prospective music teachers for the Kentucky teacher certification in music K-12 Students acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in pedagogy music theory musical performance history and literature to earn the Bachelor of Music Education credentials

The Unitrsquos process for selecting supervising and cooperating teachers and sites is dictated by standards and procedures established by the Education Professional Standards Board and delineated within Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching This administrative regulation describes the special requirements for certification that affect the teacher training program in music education and establishes the

Page 21 of 60

standards for admission placement and supervision in student teaching within the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The institutionrsquos educator preparation program selects clinical faculty member to serve as the University Supervisor according to the guidelines delineated within the Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching Cooperating teachers are teachers employed in a public school or a nonpublic school which meets the state performance standards as established in KRS 156160 or which has been accredited by a regional or national accrediting association who is contracting with an educator preparation institution to supervise a student teacher for the purpose of fulfilling the student teaching requirement of the approved educator preparation program The quality of cooperating schools remains high while the variety of placements is limited and primarily influenced by the requirements outlined immediately above

Music Education candidates must interact with school personnel and parents in tutorial assignments field and clinical experiences and supervised teaching The Music Unit ensures collaboration with the professional community through several initiatives Unit faculty members also collaborate with public school music educators in the provision of field and clinical experiences Additionally candidates collaborate with each other in completing and implementing various laboratory and course assignments

One of the significant aspects of the music education program is the low teacher-to-student ratio and the resulting high level of personal attention students receive With small classes professors are able to know each student especially regarding academic and musical strengths and weaknesses motivation and professional goals In such an environment aspects such as field activities are tailored to the needs of the individual student

One Music Unit faculty representative serves on the Teacher Education Committee and has primary responsibility to monitor the progress of Unit candidates The advisor is assigned one-quarter time to the education unit and advises music Education majors teaches methods of music courses and observes candidates in their supervised teaching As a member of the Teacher Education Committee and the education unit the advisor is informed about the performance of each candidate on all criteria in the Continuous Assessment Plan As a member of the music faculty the advisor is also informed about the progress of each candidate in satisfactorily completing the required music courses

As delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Music education candidates are well grounded in content knowledge displaying basic music competencies essential to teaching music in addition to a broad knowledge acquired through general studies Students are prohibited from concurrent enrollment during student teaching and Unit candidates complete a 12 credit hour dual placement at the primary and the secondary levels which include observation and practice of lesson planning classroom teaching classroom management and assessment of learning under the guidance of the supervising teacher and a university supervisor They additionally synthesize content theory

A primary goal of the Music Unit is to provide courses and experiences in support of the institutionrsquos Liberal Studies Mission its unique diversity and heritage and the requirements of other academic units for service courses and the Unitrsquos efforts in this area meet and exceed institution-wide aspirations for developing positive values for music

Kentucky State University focuses on liberal studies programming in accordance with its mission and since music is an integral part of the traditional liberal arts curriculum the Music program is considered by Kentucky State University as an essential component of the Universitys mission The Unit provides the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree and a Minor option in Performance both of which are intended for the Kentucky State University student who wishes to study music within a liberal studies framework and use the degree as a foundation for a wide range of career options andor graduate study in music or other academic areas Of the twelve Liberal Studies-based general education learning outcomes required for all students the Music program directly addresses three

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Numerous performances are sponsored by the Frankfort Arts Foundation Through a partnership with Kentucky State University the City of Frankfort Franklin County Fiscal Court and with the support of the Kentucky Arts Council local businesses patron and friends the Frankfort Arts Foundation (FAF) provides an average of some eight subscription concerts each year to the city with performances taking place in Bradford Hall of Kentucky State University The FAF also sponsors Artists in the Schools programs and community master classes This organization is instrumental in bringing a variety of high quality arts programming to the Frankfort community and University students Free admission is provided to students of Kentucky State University and Unit faculty members have and continue to provide their

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

SECTION I OPERATIONS ANALYSES AND PROJECTIONS

A Purposes of the Institution and Music Unit

The purposes of Kentucky State University and its Music Unit are delineated within the following components of the Management Documents Portfolio Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue pp 10-19 p 150 pp 156-157 Exhibit A2a KSU Mission and Vision and Exhibit A2b DOFA Mission and Vision These exhibits support our belief that the mission goals and objectives of the Music Unit are directly related to strategically aligned with and fully supportive of the mission goals and objectives of Kentucky State University Furthermore taken together Exhibit I1 MusicKentucky State University Website Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and Exhibit A2c KSU 2016-2020 Strategic Plan offer further documentation that planning assessment and comprehensive strategic efforts are ongoing Both strategic planning efforts relied on rigorous SWOT analyses and have resulted in performance objectives that are designed to address current and perceived threats to the institution and the Music Unit respectively More important the Music Unit ensures common understanding and compliance with both plans through the strategies delineated within the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan

The 2006 NASM self-study identified the Universitys liberal studies mission as a tremendous opportunity for the Unit via its Bachelor of Arts degree options All of our recent strategic efforts fully acknowledge the importance of KSUs liberal arts programs because they draw upon the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage and the goals objectives articulated within our Strategic Plan as well as the resulting curricular experiences of the Music Unit reflect that unique diversity and heritage and are threshold compliant They are designed to satisfy the requirements of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education the Kentucky Department of Education the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education the Kentucky Association of College Music Departments and the National Association of Schools of Music

Definitions of major minor concentration track emphasis etc are clearly delineated within Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue pp 58-61 Music Unit goals objectives and course offerings are adopted by a consensus of the Music faculty and transmitted through the University administrative structuremdashthe Chairperson of the Division of Fine Arts (currently the Music Executive) the Dean of the College of Arts Social Sciences and Interdisciplinary Studies and the ProvostVice President for Academic Affairsmdashto the President for approval Objectives of new programs must also be transmitted to the appropriate University committeemdashthe Curriculum Committee of the Faculty Senate or the University Teacher Education Committee

Page 4 of 60

The strategic goals objectives policies and procedures of the Music Unit are transmitted

1 To students through meetings with their major advisors regularly scheduled meetings with music students and faculty members Music Unit brochure the University Catalogue and other various written communications such as the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook

2 To University administrators and faculty through Unit meetings Fine Arts Divisional meetings University Teacher Education Committee meetings departmental brochures Faculty Senate meetings and written communications through the University administrative chain and

3 To the public through the University Catalogue Music Unit brochures website recruitment visits and meetings of professional music organizations attended by members of the Music faculty

Upon approval the Music Units objectives are summarized in the University Catalogue and other public communications

B Size and Scope andC Finances

Sections B and C are combined for the sake of clarity and continuity Once again statements of purposes and specific aims for Kentucky State University and the Music Unit are delineated in Exhibit A2a KSU Mission and Vision and Exhibit A2b DOFA Mission and Vision respectively

Not unlike many similar institutions over the past eight years Kentucky State University has been significantly challenged to overcome the fiscal impediments caused by the Great Recession a plummeting stock market and revised student aid guidelines These circumstances caused the entire institution to implement austere measures that were necessary to simply allow it to remain open and viable Additional mitigating issues have resulted from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years necessitating an increased tuition burden on our students as indicated in Exhibit I7 Costs of Attendance

Exhibit C1 Music Budget Trends indicates that while such austerity remains highly necessary the Music Unit has maintained a commensurate level of institutional support Music enrollments have remained stable and the Unit has been able to expand its curricular offerings and experiences to include more strategic focus on the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage As is indicated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments the University maintains sufficient enrollment to cover the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and to support the various service courses offered by the Music Unit

The ensemble experiences provided are diversemdashranging from small instrumental and vocal ensembles the OperaMusical Theater Workshop to large ensembles such as the Concert Choir Symphonic Band the Commercial Music Ensemble Jazz Ensemble and Marching

Page 5 of 60

Thorobred Band The vitality of these ensembles is evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

The size of the Music Unit although small is comparable to that of other universities of similar size and as delineated within Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors ndash Fall 2016 our enrollment of student majors has remained steady With the exception of a string specialist academic and applied disciplines are adequately addressed Despite limited operating resources the Music Unit is consistently able to advance its mission goals and objectives As is indicated by the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae Exhibit E3 Faculty Teaching Assignments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit A1 Faculty Kentucky State University 2016 Catalogue pp 554-564 the Unitrsquos faculty is academically well-prepared and committed to the delivery of a current quality curriculum that prepares its students for professional careers

The 1996 NASM self-study identified the need for additional classroom office practice and storage space and that need has yet to be fully addressed Even though additional space is needed the Unit continues to do remarkably well at creatively leveraging the current available space and resources toward the advancement of our program Exhibit B1 HEADS DATA SUMMARIES and Exhibit C1 Music Budget Trends provide additional datainformation as it regards affirming threshold compliance with the respective standards of these two sections

D Governance and Administration

The internal organization of the Music Unit and its relation to the institutional structure are indicated in the Exhibit D1 Organizational Chart and faculty governance and administrative responsibilities are clearly delineated within Exhibit D4 Governance and Administrative Responsibilities Consistent with the by-laws of the Board of Regents established University policies and procedures and the Constitution of the University Faculty Senate the Music Unit faculty maintains a vital role in the collegial governance of the University Through the Faculty Senate various committees councils and task forces the faculty approves curricular changes and makes recommendations to the administration in many other areas Copies of these policies and procedures are available in various University documents such as the Appendix 4 KSU Faculty Handbook 2011 and the Faculty Senate Constitution The faculty of the Music Unit holds regularly scheduled meetings In addition it meets in special general sessions on the call of the Provost the President or at the request of a number of its membership as prescribed by its rules Copies of the minutes of faculty meetings are provided to the President the Provost Nice President for Academic Affairs the secretary of the University Faculty Senate and each member of the Music Unit faculty Within the limits established by University policies and the Faculty Senate Constitution the faculty of the Music Unit determines the educational policies of the unit

Noticeably absent from this current organizational structure are the deanship levels that have been associated with this structure for the past self-study cycles which were eliminated in 2015 The music executiversquos responsibilities and authority are clearly articulated and delineated within the Exhibit D3 Chairpersonrsquos Job Description The elimination of the deanship administrative

Page 6 of 60

level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive and necessitated a streamlined and closer working relationship with upper level administrators which has been highly effective

While the Exhibit D5 Chairpersonrsquos Duties and Responsibilities clearly delineates the direct responsibilities as well as the respective methods of appointment and evaluation regarding the music executive it is highly unclear regarding the term of the chief music executive The communication policies and patterns within the Music Unit are consistent with those delineated within the institutionrsquos Exhibit D6 Communications Policy and are threshold compliant

The issue of clerical professional and technical support is a constant concern of the Music Unit The Unit shares one administrative secretary with the Areas of Art and SpeechCommunicationTheater and reports to the Chairperson of the Division of Fine Arts Not unlike the previously referenced impact of austere measures this component of the program is also impacted and the Unit has lost one principal secretary position since the last self-study of 2006 To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending Exhibit D7 Clerical Professional and Technical Support delineates the Music Unitrsquos clerical professional and technical support

Exhibit D8 Jointly Administered Programs delineates the Music Unitrsquos jointly administered program and the Unitrsquos collaboration with the institutionrsquos Teacher Education Program is threshold compliant

E Faculty and Staff

Perhaps the most obvious impact of necessary and continuing institutional austerity has been absorbed by Unit faculty lines The number of Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time (exclusive of the Music Executive) and 3 part-time positions Since the last Self Study the program has experienced the retirement and loss of longstanding and seasoned components of its faculty and as indicated by the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table we have attempted to replace those position lines in as creatively and effectively as possible The aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals remains appropriate to cover the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

Exhibit E1a Faculty Loading Guidelines delineates the Music Unitrsquos specific policies and procedures for calculating faculty loads which has proven highly effective in ensuring and maintaining the equity delineated within the Exhibit E3 Faculty Teaching Assignments

The facilitation of exemplary teaching and ample Professional Development opportunities are highly related standards and are foundations of the Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN Exhibit E1c Demonstration of Teaching Effectiveness Checklist and Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae provide additional datainformation as it regards threshold compliance with these respective standards

Page 7 of 60

Likewise Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion Exhibit E5 Policy on Compensation and Exhibit E6 Faculty Fringe Benefits offer supportive evidence of threshold compliance as it regards (1) the institutionrsquos published policies concerning appointment tenure and promotions for full-time and part-time faculty and (2) compensation increases in salary and fringe benefits

F Facilities Equipment Technology Health and Safety

The Music Unit is located in the west wing of Bradford Hall which is further and specifically detailed within Exhibit F1 Facilities

In addition to the Music Unit facilities Bradford Hall houses two performance hallsmdashBradford Hall Auditorium (900 capacity) and the Little Theatre (250 capacity)mdashas well as facilities in the buildings east wing for the School of Business Consequently there is heavy traffic in the building from students faculty staff and the community

The performance halls related facilities (stage shop green room and dressing rooms) and equipment (two concert grand pianos a 56 grand piano a Steiner pipe organ one upright pianos lighting risers etc) are used extensively by on- and off-campus groups for a variety of arts and non-arts eventsmdashincluding Music Unit large and small ensemble concerts student and faculty solo recitals the annual Middle School Band Workshop guest artist performances and Frankfort Arts Foundation concerts

While these performance halls and their utilization policies are sufficient for the purposes of the Unit this is not the case (when considering the mission goals and objectives of the Music Unit and its faculty) as all regard the general state of the Bradford Hall physical plant and future facilities and equipment needs Exhibit F1 Facilities provides specific recommendations that were proposed during the last Self-Study to address the facilities needs of the Music Unit which have yet to be fully addressed Those recommendations were developed in accordance with music instructional facilities guidelines published by MENCmdashThe National Association for Music Education To date the University administration continues to seek ways to address the facilities needs of the Music Unit and to ensure threshold compliance

Additionally Blazer Library houses the Music Listening Laboratory and compact disc sound recording collection as detailed in the following Section G Library and Learning Resources

Exhibit F2 Comprehensive Music Inventory delineates the Music Unitrsquos current inventory of equipment and technology for music as required by the institution While that inventory has well-served the Unit Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements further delineates critical enhancements that have been proposed for expanding the Unitrsquos technology and curricular capabilities and ensuring threshold compliance

Page 8 of 60

Kentucky State University maintains a 24-hour Police Department to provide security for the campus Officers duties include the monitoring of Bradford Hall and maintaining its general security Additionally faculty and staff are accountable to the extent possible for the security of the specific areas under their direct control to avoid thefts of equipment and vandalism

The Division of Fine Arts Chairperson (the Music Executive) Campus Police and University Facilities Management officials continue to monitor and address security and safety issues Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp5-6 delineates the Music Unitrsquos means for informing students and others regarding health and safety issues hazards and procedures inherent to practice performance teaching and listening both in general and as applicable to their specialization Recent key stakeholders survey results regarding hazards health and safety issues indicate that this strategy is meeting with mixed results regarding threshold compliance

G Library and Learning Resources

The Music Unit does not maintain a music library separate from the campus library However the Unit does have access to the library learning and information resources necessary to fulfill its mission goals and objectives which are appropriate for the size and scope of its operations and threshold compliance

Exhibit G1a Narrative clearly delineates the operational standards governance and administration collections development personnel services access facilities and finances associated with the Paul G Blazer Library in accordance with University policy approved by the Board of Regents

The Paul G Blazer Library music collections learning and information resources and listening accommodations are delineated within Exhibit G1b Comprehensive Holdings Exhibit G1d Music Periodicals Exhibit G1e Music Scores Exhibit G1f Music Titles and Exhibit G1c Music Listening Lab respectively

The Music Unit additionally maintains the Music Technology Laboratory (BH-G8) which accommodates structured listening activities As previously discussed above Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements delineates those critical enhancements of the Laboratory deemed necessary to bring the facility to threshold compliance Finally the operational policies and procedures for access are appropriate to the needs of the Unitrsquos students and faculty and are delineated within Exhibit G1g Music Technology Lab Policies

Page 9 of 60

H Recruitment AdmissionndashRetention Record Keeping and Advisement

The Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices are governed by and in accord with those of the University as delineated within Exhibit A1 Admissions Policy and Procedures KSU 2016 Cataloguepp21-26 p29 Additionally to insure ethical recruitment practices statewide the Kentucky Association of College Music Departments (KACMD) has established the following guidelines for accepting music scholarships at any public or private college or university in Kentucky

(1) Students accepting their awards are declaring their intent to attend the school making the offer

(2) Students may accept a music scholarship from only ONE member institution

(3) The written acceptance of music scholarships from more than one member institution signed after May 1 will result in the withdrawal of scholarship offers to the student by member institutions involved

(5) Awards may be offered and accepted only in written form Verbal commitments are not permissible and are not binding

(6) Upon accepting scholarships from a member institution students cannot be released from their commitment to that institution without written permission from the schools music executive

(7) Transferring students are ineligible for music scholarships at the new institution until the completion of one semester of full-time study unless specifically released in writing by the music executive of the original school

The Unitrsquos Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with these policies Furthermore both Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and Exhibit A2c KSU 2016-2020 Strategic Plan articulate clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories that are designed to offset the sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment experienced over the past five years Our efforts are additionally better facilitated through the Unitrsquos Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals

Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow facilitates our efforts to ensure that all prospect communications are in accord with the Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices and specific procedures and music unit standards used for prospect and student placements are delineated within Exhibit A1 Program Proficiency Expectations KSU 2016 Catalogue pp156-157

The Music Unit fully acknowledges sustaining an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both recruitment and retention and our respective efforts additionally acknowledge the critical role assumed by intrusive advisement strategies in reaching the Unitrsquos retention trajectories While Exhibit H3a KSU Centralized Advising Model delineates Kentucky State Universityrsquos procedures for student advisement the Music Unit has assumed a

Page 10 of 60

more intrusive model of advising and counseling through its Exhibit H3b DOFA Advising Handbook For example Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting ensures that every music major experiences a comprehensive review before the entire Unit faculty each semester of their matriculation In our pursuit of threshold compliance these reviews have been highly effective in (1) identifying specific threats to individual student success (2) acknowledging and reinforcing positive behaviors (3) counseling majors on preparing for careers and anticipating the continuation of studies and (4) facilitating continuous student focus on the valuable precepts necessary for student success

N Evaluation Planning and Projections

The review and evaluation of the Music Unitrsquos current activities and planning to effect needed changes are the primary responsibility of the administrator of the Music Unit (Division of Fine Arts Chairperson) and involve all music faculty and the upper level administrators to whom the Chairperson reports Major structures and activities which provide planning projection of data and threshold compliance are the Music Unit Committee Structure and the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty which includes student evaluations of the music curricular experiences

The music faculty meeting represents the most critical component of the unit structure These meetings occur on an average of two or three times a month On a less regular basis the unit undergoes periodic assessment by outside agencies (such as SACS NASM NCATE) or external evaluators such as the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Educationrsquos Appendix 2 CPE Program Review-Music 2013 and Appendix 9 CPE Program Review -Music-2015 As previously noted within this Self-Study six of the Unitrsquos faculty have been appointed within the last two years and the Music executive ensures familiarity and compliance with these critical expectations through the Appendix 10 Faculty Responsibilities- Expectations And Compliance Policies and the Appendix 8 The Implementation of a Pre-tenure Mentorship and Advisory Council

Music Unit committees report to the Chairperson and to the Unit Faculty The Unit Curriculum Committee and Tenure and Promotion Committee make recommendations through the Chairperson and the Provost to the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee and to the University Tenure and Promotion Committee respectively The activities of these two committees are governed by University policies the Curriculum Committee by the Faculty Senate Constitution and the Tenure and Promotion Committee by Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion

Page 13 of 60

Unit faculty members meeting as a committee of the whole debate and make decisions in areas such as the academic program recruitment of students planning events and so forth Specific issues are advanced and discussed and the entire faculty always participates in major projects or initiatives such as this or any other self-study In other areas individual faculty members assist the chairperson with specific assignments On the whole our discussion of issues include the current status and the specific factors contributing to that status (evaluation) the necessary changes to bring about the desired future improvements (planning) and the metrics and trajectories that will demonstrate the attainment of those improvements (projections)

The evaluation of student achievement is facilitated in several ways which are further delineated within Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 and especially most recently Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 The Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination recitals keyboard proficiency assessments and Unit juries provide data on knowledge and skills acquired in music Surveys of graduates provide additional information on the relationship between quality of instruction and the music curriculum with success in post-graduate employment Correlation of these data and data from external evaluations are conducted by the Music executive Such overall assessments are generally presented to the music faculty acting as a committee of the whole These data become the basis for future planning

The main opportunity available to the Unitrsquos students to formally evaluate their curricular experiences is the Student Evaluation of Instruction which is further detailed on the next page of the Self-Study Additionally the evaluation of Unit faculty is facilitated by the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty and the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks

The Music Unit is guided by a newly (2015) developed Strategic Plan that embraces KSUrsquos rich history traditions and diversity in preparing our students for careers as practicing artists educators and performers Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan are provided as evidence of the Unitrsquos efforts and threshold compliance with the standards of this section of the Self-Study

The Music executive aggressively engaged all key stakeholders in a yearlong pursuit of the present long-term strategic plan That involvement was pursued in a critical effort to articulate and capture perceptual data from all key stakeholders ie our students faculty staff and alumni as they regard perceived Unit strengths weaknesses threats and opportunities We engaged our key stakeholders in this process since the efficacy of these efforts remain highly dependent on programmatic ownership

SWOT Analyses commenced in September of 2014 when formal surveys were administered to all key stakeholders seeking their vital perceptions and opinions The item responses of those surveys were tabulated commentary was aggregated and specific thematic trends were identified The Music executive pursued a yearlong period of observations in an effort to either validate or invalidate the themes that arose from the environmental scan The

Page 14 of 60

thematic trends that were validated through direct observation subsequently fully informed the construction and development of specific Goals Objectives and Strategic Priorities

The resulting Strategic Plan evolved from the unique value and positioning of Kentucky State University and the Music Unit moves to marketing communication and exemplary engagement as recruitment and retention mechanisms and finally addresses longstanding programmatic issues We view this as an integrated approach starting with each individual associated with the Unit and ending with a systematic view of all functions that make up the Unit and its programs

Our immediate vision has been aligned with the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks and seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices The Unit is additionally pursuing programmatic and curricular revisions which will maximize efficiency in matriculation and time-to-degree while expanding the latitude of options for meeting student competencies and proficiencies within the context of current accreditations Whether through presentations such as concerts recitals productions exhibitions lectures or workshops our global focus seeks to advance an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

Provided immediately below are the resulting Unit Goals with selective assessment commentary on the Unitrsquos current progress

GOAL 1 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Teaching Learning and Assessment

Unit faculty pursued the exhaustive development of Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes These outcomes are designed to better document the Unitrsquos evaluation of student achievement and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are aligned with the essential student competencies articulated by NASM NCATE and the institutional Appendix 11 Liberal Studies Core Essential Competencies

Unit faculty are subsequently utilizing Blackboard and Live Text to implement appropriate assessment modules as a means of assessing student achievement as it regards our SLOs and which are delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Faculty document the development and implementation of at least one major assessment project for each course of instruction and disseminate those assessments within the Annual Self Evaluation Form SES 1

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit I1 Music at Kentucky State University Website Unit faculty have significantly infused global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices a primary theme that resulted from our SWOT analyses We have implemented three additional Commercial ensembles and revitalized our elective courses in Jazz and African American Music

Page 15 of 60

Finally regarding Student Evaluations of Instruction the Unit has this year abandoned the more traditional opinion survey and migrated to the use of the IDEA assessment systems This change resulted from our observation that the previous survey instrument did little to measure teaching effectiveness nor to advance the improvement of instruction Exhibit E7 An Analysis and Critique of the Methods of Student Evaluation of Faculty pp 1-3 clearly delineates our rationale for doing so Moreover the primary benefit of this platform is that it requires the alignment of all questions or inquiries with specific student learning goals that are identified by each individual faculty member

GOAL 2 Implement intrusive recruitment strategies that will ensure a representative community of aspiring scholars artists and musicians

The Unit has developed and implemented Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures and Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting to immediately advance our recruitment and retention efforts Faculty are additionally implementing the EAB Campus Student Success Collaborative as an intrusive mode of student engagement Progress reports are generated throughout each semester for each student in each class under their instruction The impact of these innovations has been immediate as the Unit has exceeded its recruitment targets for the current year and expanded our first to second year retention rate to over 60

GOAL 3 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Scholarship Performance and Creative Activity

As is delineated within Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 the frequency and quality of performance seminars and recitals have doubled over the past two years Likewise Unit faculty creative activities have significantly increased as delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae

GOAL 4 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Service and Professional Development

As delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae Unit faculty service and professional development activities have significantly increased

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses In addition to the requirements of the students major field of study Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University The Liberal Studies Requirements are divided into two parts The General Core Requirements and the Integrative Studies Requirements

The previous 2006 Self-Study expressed legitimate concerns that the high credit hour requirement for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements consistently jeopardized new student recruitment efforts as well as placed additional burden on students matriculating through the Bachelor of Music degree program Two occurrences have mitigated those legitimate concerns and vastly improved the time-to-degree prospects for those students majoring in Music First the University has subsequently reviewed the Liberal Studies General Core and Integrative Studies Requirements and fully implemented the changes necessary to decrease those requirements for specific majors including Music

Second the university has mandated that all degree programs strictly adhere to a maximum of 120 credit hours for all baccalaureate degrees While this latter occurrence has necessitated critical curricular and experiential revisions they have required that the Unit approach threshold compliance from the perspective of meeting competencies through a variety on means and experiences as opposed to specifically designated courses Subsequent to the latter occurrence the Unit reorganized common courses within our degree options into a Music Core Curriculummdashwith instrumental keyboard and vocal major tracks

The implementation of various ldquoSpecializationsrdquo within the ldquoBachelor of Musicrdquo degree option represents a related by product of that curricular reorganization That strategy was

Page 17 of 60

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

General descriptions of the Unitrsquos performance evaluation policies and procedures are published in the Exhibit A1 Bachelor of Music KSU 2016 Catalogue pp157-158 and the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 Spec

All music majors are required to successfully complete applied performance courses and an accompanying performance laboratory each semester except for music education students during the semester in which they complete student teaching Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes fully informs all the Units performance curricula experiences and practices

Instrumental majors (wind brass percussion) must demonstrate mastery of the specific performance skills knowledge and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study

Page 18 of 60

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

4 History and Repertory

The Music Unit is committed to providing its students and the University community with a variety of musical experiences that are reflective of diverse stylistic historical and cultural traditions The Unit offers specific courses in music history and music literature that are designed to provide students with opportunities to study and examine such stylistic historical and cultural

Page 20 of 60

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

5 Synthesis

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

As such music majors at Kentucky State University demonstrate a synthesis of their musical study through numerous requirements and activities For example in the music theory sequence students must relate to music literature from a wide variety of musical periods and styles in several different ways historically analytically aurally and compositionally Moreover the Sophomore Proficiency applied music juries course examinations and Junior and Senior Recitals all provide opportunities to assess students abilities to synthesize their musical and educational experiences

IIA3 Teacher Education Programs

The Music Education Specialization is offered in conjunction with the School of Education Kentucky State Universityrsquos undergraduate Music Education program prepares prospective music teachers for the Kentucky teacher certification in music K-12 Students acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in pedagogy music theory musical performance history and literature to earn the Bachelor of Music Education credentials

The Unitrsquos process for selecting supervising and cooperating teachers and sites is dictated by standards and procedures established by the Education Professional Standards Board and delineated within Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching This administrative regulation describes the special requirements for certification that affect the teacher training program in music education and establishes the

Page 21 of 60

standards for admission placement and supervision in student teaching within the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The institutionrsquos educator preparation program selects clinical faculty member to serve as the University Supervisor according to the guidelines delineated within the Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching Cooperating teachers are teachers employed in a public school or a nonpublic school which meets the state performance standards as established in KRS 156160 or which has been accredited by a regional or national accrediting association who is contracting with an educator preparation institution to supervise a student teacher for the purpose of fulfilling the student teaching requirement of the approved educator preparation program The quality of cooperating schools remains high while the variety of placements is limited and primarily influenced by the requirements outlined immediately above

Music Education candidates must interact with school personnel and parents in tutorial assignments field and clinical experiences and supervised teaching The Music Unit ensures collaboration with the professional community through several initiatives Unit faculty members also collaborate with public school music educators in the provision of field and clinical experiences Additionally candidates collaborate with each other in completing and implementing various laboratory and course assignments

One of the significant aspects of the music education program is the low teacher-to-student ratio and the resulting high level of personal attention students receive With small classes professors are able to know each student especially regarding academic and musical strengths and weaknesses motivation and professional goals In such an environment aspects such as field activities are tailored to the needs of the individual student

One Music Unit faculty representative serves on the Teacher Education Committee and has primary responsibility to monitor the progress of Unit candidates The advisor is assigned one-quarter time to the education unit and advises music Education majors teaches methods of music courses and observes candidates in their supervised teaching As a member of the Teacher Education Committee and the education unit the advisor is informed about the performance of each candidate on all criteria in the Continuous Assessment Plan As a member of the music faculty the advisor is also informed about the progress of each candidate in satisfactorily completing the required music courses

As delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Music education candidates are well grounded in content knowledge displaying basic music competencies essential to teaching music in addition to a broad knowledge acquired through general studies Students are prohibited from concurrent enrollment during student teaching and Unit candidates complete a 12 credit hour dual placement at the primary and the secondary levels which include observation and practice of lesson planning classroom teaching classroom management and assessment of learning under the guidance of the supervising teacher and a university supervisor They additionally synthesize content theory

A primary goal of the Music Unit is to provide courses and experiences in support of the institutionrsquos Liberal Studies Mission its unique diversity and heritage and the requirements of other academic units for service courses and the Unitrsquos efforts in this area meet and exceed institution-wide aspirations for developing positive values for music

Kentucky State University focuses on liberal studies programming in accordance with its mission and since music is an integral part of the traditional liberal arts curriculum the Music program is considered by Kentucky State University as an essential component of the Universitys mission The Unit provides the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree and a Minor option in Performance both of which are intended for the Kentucky State University student who wishes to study music within a liberal studies framework and use the degree as a foundation for a wide range of career options andor graduate study in music or other academic areas Of the twelve Liberal Studies-based general education learning outcomes required for all students the Music program directly addresses three

1) To recognize and value both the global diversity of cultures by study of Western and non-Western cultures and by study of foreign language and the multicultural nature of American society including the cultural contributions of African Americans (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 6)

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Numerous performances are sponsored by the Frankfort Arts Foundation Through a partnership with Kentucky State University the City of Frankfort Franklin County Fiscal Court and with the support of the Kentucky Arts Council local businesses patron and friends the Frankfort Arts Foundation (FAF) provides an average of some eight subscription concerts each year to the city with performances taking place in Bradford Hall of Kentucky State University The FAF also sponsors Artists in the Schools programs and community master classes This organization is instrumental in bringing a variety of high quality arts programming to the Frankfort community and University students Free admission is provided to students of Kentucky State University and Unit faculty members have and continue to provide their

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

A Purposes of the Institution and Music Unit

The purposes of Kentucky State University and its Music Unit are delineated within the following components of the Management Documents Portfolio Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue pp 10-19 p 150 pp 156-157 Exhibit A2a KSU Mission and Vision and Exhibit A2b DOFA Mission and Vision These exhibits support our belief that the mission goals and objectives of the Music Unit are directly related to strategically aligned with and fully supportive of the mission goals and objectives of Kentucky State University Furthermore taken together Exhibit I1 MusicKentucky State University Website Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and Exhibit A2c KSU 2016-2020 Strategic Plan offer further documentation that planning assessment and comprehensive strategic efforts are ongoing Both strategic planning efforts relied on rigorous SWOT analyses and have resulted in performance objectives that are designed to address current and perceived threats to the institution and the Music Unit respectively More important the Music Unit ensures common understanding and compliance with both plans through the strategies delineated within the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan

The 2006 NASM self-study identified the Universitys liberal studies mission as a tremendous opportunity for the Unit via its Bachelor of Arts degree options All of our recent strategic efforts fully acknowledge the importance of KSUs liberal arts programs because they draw upon the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage and the goals objectives articulated within our Strategic Plan as well as the resulting curricular experiences of the Music Unit reflect that unique diversity and heritage and are threshold compliant They are designed to satisfy the requirements of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education the Kentucky Department of Education the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education the Kentucky Association of College Music Departments and the National Association of Schools of Music

Definitions of major minor concentration track emphasis etc are clearly delineated within Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue pp 58-61 Music Unit goals objectives and course offerings are adopted by a consensus of the Music faculty and transmitted through the University administrative structuremdashthe Chairperson of the Division of Fine Arts (currently the Music Executive) the Dean of the College of Arts Social Sciences and Interdisciplinary Studies and the ProvostVice President for Academic Affairsmdashto the President for approval Objectives of new programs must also be transmitted to the appropriate University committeemdashthe Curriculum Committee of the Faculty Senate or the University Teacher Education Committee

Page 4 of 60

The strategic goals objectives policies and procedures of the Music Unit are transmitted

1 To students through meetings with their major advisors regularly scheduled meetings with music students and faculty members Music Unit brochure the University Catalogue and other various written communications such as the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook

2 To University administrators and faculty through Unit meetings Fine Arts Divisional meetings University Teacher Education Committee meetings departmental brochures Faculty Senate meetings and written communications through the University administrative chain and

3 To the public through the University Catalogue Music Unit brochures website recruitment visits and meetings of professional music organizations attended by members of the Music faculty

Upon approval the Music Units objectives are summarized in the University Catalogue and other public communications

B Size and Scope andC Finances

Sections B and C are combined for the sake of clarity and continuity Once again statements of purposes and specific aims for Kentucky State University and the Music Unit are delineated in Exhibit A2a KSU Mission and Vision and Exhibit A2b DOFA Mission and Vision respectively

Not unlike many similar institutions over the past eight years Kentucky State University has been significantly challenged to overcome the fiscal impediments caused by the Great Recession a plummeting stock market and revised student aid guidelines These circumstances caused the entire institution to implement austere measures that were necessary to simply allow it to remain open and viable Additional mitigating issues have resulted from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years necessitating an increased tuition burden on our students as indicated in Exhibit I7 Costs of Attendance

Exhibit C1 Music Budget Trends indicates that while such austerity remains highly necessary the Music Unit has maintained a commensurate level of institutional support Music enrollments have remained stable and the Unit has been able to expand its curricular offerings and experiences to include more strategic focus on the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage As is indicated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments the University maintains sufficient enrollment to cover the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and to support the various service courses offered by the Music Unit

The ensemble experiences provided are diversemdashranging from small instrumental and vocal ensembles the OperaMusical Theater Workshop to large ensembles such as the Concert Choir Symphonic Band the Commercial Music Ensemble Jazz Ensemble and Marching

Page 5 of 60

Thorobred Band The vitality of these ensembles is evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

The size of the Music Unit although small is comparable to that of other universities of similar size and as delineated within Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors ndash Fall 2016 our enrollment of student majors has remained steady With the exception of a string specialist academic and applied disciplines are adequately addressed Despite limited operating resources the Music Unit is consistently able to advance its mission goals and objectives As is indicated by the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae Exhibit E3 Faculty Teaching Assignments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit A1 Faculty Kentucky State University 2016 Catalogue pp 554-564 the Unitrsquos faculty is academically well-prepared and committed to the delivery of a current quality curriculum that prepares its students for professional careers

The 1996 NASM self-study identified the need for additional classroom office practice and storage space and that need has yet to be fully addressed Even though additional space is needed the Unit continues to do remarkably well at creatively leveraging the current available space and resources toward the advancement of our program Exhibit B1 HEADS DATA SUMMARIES and Exhibit C1 Music Budget Trends provide additional datainformation as it regards affirming threshold compliance with the respective standards of these two sections

D Governance and Administration

The internal organization of the Music Unit and its relation to the institutional structure are indicated in the Exhibit D1 Organizational Chart and faculty governance and administrative responsibilities are clearly delineated within Exhibit D4 Governance and Administrative Responsibilities Consistent with the by-laws of the Board of Regents established University policies and procedures and the Constitution of the University Faculty Senate the Music Unit faculty maintains a vital role in the collegial governance of the University Through the Faculty Senate various committees councils and task forces the faculty approves curricular changes and makes recommendations to the administration in many other areas Copies of these policies and procedures are available in various University documents such as the Appendix 4 KSU Faculty Handbook 2011 and the Faculty Senate Constitution The faculty of the Music Unit holds regularly scheduled meetings In addition it meets in special general sessions on the call of the Provost the President or at the request of a number of its membership as prescribed by its rules Copies of the minutes of faculty meetings are provided to the President the Provost Nice President for Academic Affairs the secretary of the University Faculty Senate and each member of the Music Unit faculty Within the limits established by University policies and the Faculty Senate Constitution the faculty of the Music Unit determines the educational policies of the unit

Noticeably absent from this current organizational structure are the deanship levels that have been associated with this structure for the past self-study cycles which were eliminated in 2015 The music executiversquos responsibilities and authority are clearly articulated and delineated within the Exhibit D3 Chairpersonrsquos Job Description The elimination of the deanship administrative

Page 6 of 60

level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive and necessitated a streamlined and closer working relationship with upper level administrators which has been highly effective

While the Exhibit D5 Chairpersonrsquos Duties and Responsibilities clearly delineates the direct responsibilities as well as the respective methods of appointment and evaluation regarding the music executive it is highly unclear regarding the term of the chief music executive The communication policies and patterns within the Music Unit are consistent with those delineated within the institutionrsquos Exhibit D6 Communications Policy and are threshold compliant

The issue of clerical professional and technical support is a constant concern of the Music Unit The Unit shares one administrative secretary with the Areas of Art and SpeechCommunicationTheater and reports to the Chairperson of the Division of Fine Arts Not unlike the previously referenced impact of austere measures this component of the program is also impacted and the Unit has lost one principal secretary position since the last self-study of 2006 To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending Exhibit D7 Clerical Professional and Technical Support delineates the Music Unitrsquos clerical professional and technical support

Exhibit D8 Jointly Administered Programs delineates the Music Unitrsquos jointly administered program and the Unitrsquos collaboration with the institutionrsquos Teacher Education Program is threshold compliant

E Faculty and Staff

Perhaps the most obvious impact of necessary and continuing institutional austerity has been absorbed by Unit faculty lines The number of Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time (exclusive of the Music Executive) and 3 part-time positions Since the last Self Study the program has experienced the retirement and loss of longstanding and seasoned components of its faculty and as indicated by the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table we have attempted to replace those position lines in as creatively and effectively as possible The aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals remains appropriate to cover the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

Exhibit E1a Faculty Loading Guidelines delineates the Music Unitrsquos specific policies and procedures for calculating faculty loads which has proven highly effective in ensuring and maintaining the equity delineated within the Exhibit E3 Faculty Teaching Assignments

The facilitation of exemplary teaching and ample Professional Development opportunities are highly related standards and are foundations of the Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN Exhibit E1c Demonstration of Teaching Effectiveness Checklist and Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae provide additional datainformation as it regards threshold compliance with these respective standards

Page 7 of 60

Likewise Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion Exhibit E5 Policy on Compensation and Exhibit E6 Faculty Fringe Benefits offer supportive evidence of threshold compliance as it regards (1) the institutionrsquos published policies concerning appointment tenure and promotions for full-time and part-time faculty and (2) compensation increases in salary and fringe benefits

F Facilities Equipment Technology Health and Safety

The Music Unit is located in the west wing of Bradford Hall which is further and specifically detailed within Exhibit F1 Facilities

In addition to the Music Unit facilities Bradford Hall houses two performance hallsmdashBradford Hall Auditorium (900 capacity) and the Little Theatre (250 capacity)mdashas well as facilities in the buildings east wing for the School of Business Consequently there is heavy traffic in the building from students faculty staff and the community

The performance halls related facilities (stage shop green room and dressing rooms) and equipment (two concert grand pianos a 56 grand piano a Steiner pipe organ one upright pianos lighting risers etc) are used extensively by on- and off-campus groups for a variety of arts and non-arts eventsmdashincluding Music Unit large and small ensemble concerts student and faculty solo recitals the annual Middle School Band Workshop guest artist performances and Frankfort Arts Foundation concerts

While these performance halls and their utilization policies are sufficient for the purposes of the Unit this is not the case (when considering the mission goals and objectives of the Music Unit and its faculty) as all regard the general state of the Bradford Hall physical plant and future facilities and equipment needs Exhibit F1 Facilities provides specific recommendations that were proposed during the last Self-Study to address the facilities needs of the Music Unit which have yet to be fully addressed Those recommendations were developed in accordance with music instructional facilities guidelines published by MENCmdashThe National Association for Music Education To date the University administration continues to seek ways to address the facilities needs of the Music Unit and to ensure threshold compliance

Additionally Blazer Library houses the Music Listening Laboratory and compact disc sound recording collection as detailed in the following Section G Library and Learning Resources

Exhibit F2 Comprehensive Music Inventory delineates the Music Unitrsquos current inventory of equipment and technology for music as required by the institution While that inventory has well-served the Unit Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements further delineates critical enhancements that have been proposed for expanding the Unitrsquos technology and curricular capabilities and ensuring threshold compliance

Page 8 of 60

Kentucky State University maintains a 24-hour Police Department to provide security for the campus Officers duties include the monitoring of Bradford Hall and maintaining its general security Additionally faculty and staff are accountable to the extent possible for the security of the specific areas under their direct control to avoid thefts of equipment and vandalism

The Division of Fine Arts Chairperson (the Music Executive) Campus Police and University Facilities Management officials continue to monitor and address security and safety issues Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp5-6 delineates the Music Unitrsquos means for informing students and others regarding health and safety issues hazards and procedures inherent to practice performance teaching and listening both in general and as applicable to their specialization Recent key stakeholders survey results regarding hazards health and safety issues indicate that this strategy is meeting with mixed results regarding threshold compliance

G Library and Learning Resources

The Music Unit does not maintain a music library separate from the campus library However the Unit does have access to the library learning and information resources necessary to fulfill its mission goals and objectives which are appropriate for the size and scope of its operations and threshold compliance

Exhibit G1a Narrative clearly delineates the operational standards governance and administration collections development personnel services access facilities and finances associated with the Paul G Blazer Library in accordance with University policy approved by the Board of Regents

H Recruitment AdmissionndashRetention Record Keeping and Advisement

The Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices are governed by and in accord with those of the University as delineated within Exhibit A1 Admissions Policy and Procedures KSU 2016 Cataloguepp21-26 p29 Additionally to insure ethical recruitment practices statewide the Kentucky Association of College Music Departments (KACMD) has established the following guidelines for accepting music scholarships at any public or private college or university in Kentucky

(1) Students accepting their awards are declaring their intent to attend the school making the offer

(2) Students may accept a music scholarship from only ONE member institution

(3) The written acceptance of music scholarships from more than one member institution signed after May 1 will result in the withdrawal of scholarship offers to the student by member institutions involved

(5) Awards may be offered and accepted only in written form Verbal commitments are not permissible and are not binding

(6) Upon accepting scholarships from a member institution students cannot be released from their commitment to that institution without written permission from the schools music executive

(7) Transferring students are ineligible for music scholarships at the new institution until the completion of one semester of full-time study unless specifically released in writing by the music executive of the original school

The Unitrsquos Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with these policies Furthermore both Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and Exhibit A2c KSU 2016-2020 Strategic Plan articulate clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories that are designed to offset the sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment experienced over the past five years Our efforts are additionally better facilitated through the Unitrsquos Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals

Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow facilitates our efforts to ensure that all prospect communications are in accord with the Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices and specific procedures and music unit standards used for prospect and student placements are delineated within Exhibit A1 Program Proficiency Expectations KSU 2016 Catalogue pp156-157

The Music Unit fully acknowledges sustaining an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both recruitment and retention and our respective efforts additionally acknowledge the critical role assumed by intrusive advisement strategies in reaching the Unitrsquos retention trajectories While Exhibit H3a KSU Centralized Advising Model delineates Kentucky State Universityrsquos procedures for student advisement the Music Unit has assumed a

Page 10 of 60

more intrusive model of advising and counseling through its Exhibit H3b DOFA Advising Handbook For example Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting ensures that every music major experiences a comprehensive review before the entire Unit faculty each semester of their matriculation In our pursuit of threshold compliance these reviews have been highly effective in (1) identifying specific threats to individual student success (2) acknowledging and reinforcing positive behaviors (3) counseling majors on preparing for careers and anticipating the continuation of studies and (4) facilitating continuous student focus on the valuable precepts necessary for student success

Exhibit H4 KSU Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures delineates the institutional policy and procedures for the submission processing and consideration of student complaints Exhibit H5 KSU Teacher Educator Preparation Program delineates specific guidelines and procedures for counseling students preparing to be elementarysecondary specialist music teachers and are threshold compliant

Exhibit H6 KSU Department of Music Advisee Folio Required Components delineates the mandatory and required components of each student folio which fully informs the Unitrsquos advising and counseling efforts Student data is updated continuously during each semester by Music faculty advisors who have real-time access via their office computers to student academic and financial records maintained on the Universitys student information system This process is threshold compliant and these data are contained in curriculum checklists which clearly specify graduation andor certification requirements and are included in each music majors folio along with a current transcript and other documents pertaining to their academic progress Students repertory studied and performances are recorded at the end of each semester on the Applied Music Record form Faculty members have immediate access to most student records via their personal computers

Digital recording resources are in place in Bradford Hall Auditorium nevertheless no policy is in place to require the recording and maintenance of audio andor video tape recordings for an archival record of a students performance of the junior or senior recital Any audio andor video recording that takes place is usually effected through the efforts of the individual applied instructors or the student

Finally the specific means of assessing our progress on these critical issues are delineated within Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan and specifically detailed below in Section N of the Self-Study

N Evaluation Planning and Projections

The review and evaluation of the Music Unitrsquos current activities and planning to effect needed changes are the primary responsibility of the administrator of the Music Unit (Division of Fine Arts Chairperson) and involve all music faculty and the upper level administrators to whom the Chairperson reports Major structures and activities which provide planning projection of data and threshold compliance are the Music Unit Committee Structure and the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty which includes student evaluations of the music curricular experiences

The music faculty meeting represents the most critical component of the unit structure These meetings occur on an average of two or three times a month On a less regular basis the unit undergoes periodic assessment by outside agencies (such as SACS NASM NCATE) or external evaluators such as the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Educationrsquos Appendix 2 CPE Program Review-Music 2013 and Appendix 9 CPE Program Review -Music-2015 As previously noted within this Self-Study six of the Unitrsquos faculty have been appointed within the last two years and the Music executive ensures familiarity and compliance with these critical expectations through the Appendix 10 Faculty Responsibilities- Expectations And Compliance Policies and the Appendix 8 The Implementation of a Pre-tenure Mentorship and Advisory Council

Music Unit committees report to the Chairperson and to the Unit Faculty The Unit Curriculum Committee and Tenure and Promotion Committee make recommendations through the Chairperson and the Provost to the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee and to the University Tenure and Promotion Committee respectively The activities of these two committees are governed by University policies the Curriculum Committee by the Faculty Senate Constitution and the Tenure and Promotion Committee by Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion

Page 13 of 60

Unit faculty members meeting as a committee of the whole debate and make decisions in areas such as the academic program recruitment of students planning events and so forth Specific issues are advanced and discussed and the entire faculty always participates in major projects or initiatives such as this or any other self-study In other areas individual faculty members assist the chairperson with specific assignments On the whole our discussion of issues include the current status and the specific factors contributing to that status (evaluation) the necessary changes to bring about the desired future improvements (planning) and the metrics and trajectories that will demonstrate the attainment of those improvements (projections)

The evaluation of student achievement is facilitated in several ways which are further delineated within Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 and especially most recently Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 The Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination recitals keyboard proficiency assessments and Unit juries provide data on knowledge and skills acquired in music Surveys of graduates provide additional information on the relationship between quality of instruction and the music curriculum with success in post-graduate employment Correlation of these data and data from external evaluations are conducted by the Music executive Such overall assessments are generally presented to the music faculty acting as a committee of the whole These data become the basis for future planning

The main opportunity available to the Unitrsquos students to formally evaluate their curricular experiences is the Student Evaluation of Instruction which is further detailed on the next page of the Self-Study Additionally the evaluation of Unit faculty is facilitated by the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty and the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks

The Music Unit is guided by a newly (2015) developed Strategic Plan that embraces KSUrsquos rich history traditions and diversity in preparing our students for careers as practicing artists educators and performers Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan are provided as evidence of the Unitrsquos efforts and threshold compliance with the standards of this section of the Self-Study

The Music executive aggressively engaged all key stakeholders in a yearlong pursuit of the present long-term strategic plan That involvement was pursued in a critical effort to articulate and capture perceptual data from all key stakeholders ie our students faculty staff and alumni as they regard perceived Unit strengths weaknesses threats and opportunities We engaged our key stakeholders in this process since the efficacy of these efforts remain highly dependent on programmatic ownership

SWOT Analyses commenced in September of 2014 when formal surveys were administered to all key stakeholders seeking their vital perceptions and opinions The item responses of those surveys were tabulated commentary was aggregated and specific thematic trends were identified The Music executive pursued a yearlong period of observations in an effort to either validate or invalidate the themes that arose from the environmental scan The

Page 14 of 60

thematic trends that were validated through direct observation subsequently fully informed the construction and development of specific Goals Objectives and Strategic Priorities

The resulting Strategic Plan evolved from the unique value and positioning of Kentucky State University and the Music Unit moves to marketing communication and exemplary engagement as recruitment and retention mechanisms and finally addresses longstanding programmatic issues We view this as an integrated approach starting with each individual associated with the Unit and ending with a systematic view of all functions that make up the Unit and its programs

Our immediate vision has been aligned with the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks and seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices The Unit is additionally pursuing programmatic and curricular revisions which will maximize efficiency in matriculation and time-to-degree while expanding the latitude of options for meeting student competencies and proficiencies within the context of current accreditations Whether through presentations such as concerts recitals productions exhibitions lectures or workshops our global focus seeks to advance an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

Provided immediately below are the resulting Unit Goals with selective assessment commentary on the Unitrsquos current progress

GOAL 1 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Teaching Learning and Assessment

Unit faculty pursued the exhaustive development of Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes These outcomes are designed to better document the Unitrsquos evaluation of student achievement and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are aligned with the essential student competencies articulated by NASM NCATE and the institutional Appendix 11 Liberal Studies Core Essential Competencies

Unit faculty are subsequently utilizing Blackboard and Live Text to implement appropriate assessment modules as a means of assessing student achievement as it regards our SLOs and which are delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Faculty document the development and implementation of at least one major assessment project for each course of instruction and disseminate those assessments within the Annual Self Evaluation Form SES 1

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit I1 Music at Kentucky State University Website Unit faculty have significantly infused global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices a primary theme that resulted from our SWOT analyses We have implemented three additional Commercial ensembles and revitalized our elective courses in Jazz and African American Music

Page 15 of 60

Finally regarding Student Evaluations of Instruction the Unit has this year abandoned the more traditional opinion survey and migrated to the use of the IDEA assessment systems This change resulted from our observation that the previous survey instrument did little to measure teaching effectiveness nor to advance the improvement of instruction Exhibit E7 An Analysis and Critique of the Methods of Student Evaluation of Faculty pp 1-3 clearly delineates our rationale for doing so Moreover the primary benefit of this platform is that it requires the alignment of all questions or inquiries with specific student learning goals that are identified by each individual faculty member

GOAL 2 Implement intrusive recruitment strategies that will ensure a representative community of aspiring scholars artists and musicians

The Unit has developed and implemented Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures and Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting to immediately advance our recruitment and retention efforts Faculty are additionally implementing the EAB Campus Student Success Collaborative as an intrusive mode of student engagement Progress reports are generated throughout each semester for each student in each class under their instruction The impact of these innovations has been immediate as the Unit has exceeded its recruitment targets for the current year and expanded our first to second year retention rate to over 60

GOAL 3 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Scholarship Performance and Creative Activity

As is delineated within Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 the frequency and quality of performance seminars and recitals have doubled over the past two years Likewise Unit faculty creative activities have significantly increased as delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae

GOAL 4 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Service and Professional Development

As delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae Unit faculty service and professional development activities have significantly increased

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses In addition to the requirements of the students major field of study Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University The Liberal Studies Requirements are divided into two parts The General Core Requirements and the Integrative Studies Requirements

The previous 2006 Self-Study expressed legitimate concerns that the high credit hour requirement for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements consistently jeopardized new student recruitment efforts as well as placed additional burden on students matriculating through the Bachelor of Music degree program Two occurrences have mitigated those legitimate concerns and vastly improved the time-to-degree prospects for those students majoring in Music First the University has subsequently reviewed the Liberal Studies General Core and Integrative Studies Requirements and fully implemented the changes necessary to decrease those requirements for specific majors including Music

Second the university has mandated that all degree programs strictly adhere to a maximum of 120 credit hours for all baccalaureate degrees While this latter occurrence has necessitated critical curricular and experiential revisions they have required that the Unit approach threshold compliance from the perspective of meeting competencies through a variety on means and experiences as opposed to specifically designated courses Subsequent to the latter occurrence the Unit reorganized common courses within our degree options into a Music Core Curriculummdashwith instrumental keyboard and vocal major tracks

The implementation of various ldquoSpecializationsrdquo within the ldquoBachelor of Musicrdquo degree option represents a related by product of that curricular reorganization That strategy was

Page 17 of 60

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

One semester credit hour generally represents one clock hour of recitation or lecture or two clock hours of laboratory per week for one semester for most University courses Credit requirements for music coursesmdashMUA Music Applied MUC MusicClass Instruction MUE Music Education MUP Music Performance Ensemble and MUS Music are in accordance with NASM standards and are published in the Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue pp 407-417 In granting course credit to transfer students Kentucky State University maintains academic policies that assure that the overall educational experiences of transferring students are equivalent in quality and content to those provided by KSU and these policies are published in the Exhibit A1 Transfer Policies KSU 2016 Catalogue p57

1 Performance

The Music Unit is committed to the highest possible standards in its performance areas Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi delineates various curricular and experiential processes that are designed to ensure threshold compliance with expected competencies The Music Theory Placement Examination and the Piano Placement Examination further delineated in the Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency are administered to determine the studentrsquos level of entry into the music theory and piano sequences respectively

General descriptions of the Unitrsquos performance evaluation policies and procedures are published in the Exhibit A1 Bachelor of Music KSU 2016 Catalogue pp157-158 and the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 Spec

All music majors are required to successfully complete applied performance courses and an accompanying performance laboratory each semester except for music education students during the semester in which they complete student teaching Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes fully informs all the Units performance curricula experiences and practices

Instrumental majors (wind brass percussion) must demonstrate mastery of the specific performance skills knowledge and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study

Page 18 of 60

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

4 History and Repertory

The Music Unit is committed to providing its students and the University community with a variety of musical experiences that are reflective of diverse stylistic historical and cultural traditions The Unit offers specific courses in music history and music literature that are designed to provide students with opportunities to study and examine such stylistic historical and cultural

Page 20 of 60

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

5 Synthesis

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

1 The diversity variety and vitality of ensemble experiences provided as evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

2 The exemplary accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates as delineated within Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit

3 Stable Music enrollments and expanded curricular offerings and experiences that strategically focus on the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage

4 The Unitrsquos Strategic Plan which addresses longstanding programmatic issues

5 Our immediate Vision which seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices and to advances an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

6 The Unit facultyrsquos commitment to the delivery of a current quality curriculum as delineated within Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi and their documented commitment to the cultural enrichment of the Frankfort community and the University service area counties

7 The Unitrsquos wide variety of Music courses and experiences offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University

Most of the Music Units student body maintain better than a C average in all required music courses (with some exceptions that are detailed below) and upon reaching the appropriate level most have successfully completed the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination the Keyboard Proficiency Examination and their Applied Music Juries Additionally most students who have reached that level have successfully completed and performed their Junior andor Senior Recitals demonstrating a synthesis of their music study at the University Those students who have graduated and applied to graduate schools have generally been admitted without experiencing any difficulties or deficiencies

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

SECTION I OPERATIONS ANALYSES AND PROJECTIONS

A Purposes of the Institution and Music Unit

The purposes of Kentucky State University and its Music Unit are delineated within the following components of the Management Documents Portfolio Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue pp 10-19 p 150 pp 156-157 Exhibit A2a KSU Mission and Vision and Exhibit A2b DOFA Mission and Vision These exhibits support our belief that the mission goals and objectives of the Music Unit are directly related to strategically aligned with and fully supportive of the mission goals and objectives of Kentucky State University Furthermore taken together Exhibit I1 MusicKentucky State University Website Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and Exhibit A2c KSU 2016-2020 Strategic Plan offer further documentation that planning assessment and comprehensive strategic efforts are ongoing Both strategic planning efforts relied on rigorous SWOT analyses and have resulted in performance objectives that are designed to address current and perceived threats to the institution and the Music Unit respectively More important the Music Unit ensures common understanding and compliance with both plans through the strategies delineated within the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan

The 2006 NASM self-study identified the Universitys liberal studies mission as a tremendous opportunity for the Unit via its Bachelor of Arts degree options All of our recent strategic efforts fully acknowledge the importance of KSUs liberal arts programs because they draw upon the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage and the goals objectives articulated within our Strategic Plan as well as the resulting curricular experiences of the Music Unit reflect that unique diversity and heritage and are threshold compliant They are designed to satisfy the requirements of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education the Kentucky Department of Education the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education the Kentucky Association of College Music Departments and the National Association of Schools of Music

Definitions of major minor concentration track emphasis etc are clearly delineated within Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue pp 58-61 Music Unit goals objectives and course offerings are adopted by a consensus of the Music faculty and transmitted through the University administrative structuremdashthe Chairperson of the Division of Fine Arts (currently the Music Executive) the Dean of the College of Arts Social Sciences and Interdisciplinary Studies and the ProvostVice President for Academic Affairsmdashto the President for approval Objectives of new programs must also be transmitted to the appropriate University committeemdashthe Curriculum Committee of the Faculty Senate or the University Teacher Education Committee

Page 4 of 60

The strategic goals objectives policies and procedures of the Music Unit are transmitted

1 To students through meetings with their major advisors regularly scheduled meetings with music students and faculty members Music Unit brochure the University Catalogue and other various written communications such as the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook

2 To University administrators and faculty through Unit meetings Fine Arts Divisional meetings University Teacher Education Committee meetings departmental brochures Faculty Senate meetings and written communications through the University administrative chain and

3 To the public through the University Catalogue Music Unit brochures website recruitment visits and meetings of professional music organizations attended by members of the Music faculty

Upon approval the Music Units objectives are summarized in the University Catalogue and other public communications

B Size and Scope andC Finances

Sections B and C are combined for the sake of clarity and continuity Once again statements of purposes and specific aims for Kentucky State University and the Music Unit are delineated in Exhibit A2a KSU Mission and Vision and Exhibit A2b DOFA Mission and Vision respectively

Not unlike many similar institutions over the past eight years Kentucky State University has been significantly challenged to overcome the fiscal impediments caused by the Great Recession a plummeting stock market and revised student aid guidelines These circumstances caused the entire institution to implement austere measures that were necessary to simply allow it to remain open and viable Additional mitigating issues have resulted from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years necessitating an increased tuition burden on our students as indicated in Exhibit I7 Costs of Attendance

Exhibit C1 Music Budget Trends indicates that while such austerity remains highly necessary the Music Unit has maintained a commensurate level of institutional support Music enrollments have remained stable and the Unit has been able to expand its curricular offerings and experiences to include more strategic focus on the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage As is indicated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments the University maintains sufficient enrollment to cover the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and to support the various service courses offered by the Music Unit

The ensemble experiences provided are diversemdashranging from small instrumental and vocal ensembles the OperaMusical Theater Workshop to large ensembles such as the Concert Choir Symphonic Band the Commercial Music Ensemble Jazz Ensemble and Marching

Page 5 of 60

Thorobred Band The vitality of these ensembles is evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

The size of the Music Unit although small is comparable to that of other universities of similar size and as delineated within Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors ndash Fall 2016 our enrollment of student majors has remained steady With the exception of a string specialist academic and applied disciplines are adequately addressed Despite limited operating resources the Music Unit is consistently able to advance its mission goals and objectives As is indicated by the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae Exhibit E3 Faculty Teaching Assignments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit A1 Faculty Kentucky State University 2016 Catalogue pp 554-564 the Unitrsquos faculty is academically well-prepared and committed to the delivery of a current quality curriculum that prepares its students for professional careers

The 1996 NASM self-study identified the need for additional classroom office practice and storage space and that need has yet to be fully addressed Even though additional space is needed the Unit continues to do remarkably well at creatively leveraging the current available space and resources toward the advancement of our program Exhibit B1 HEADS DATA SUMMARIES and Exhibit C1 Music Budget Trends provide additional datainformation as it regards affirming threshold compliance with the respective standards of these two sections

D Governance and Administration

The internal organization of the Music Unit and its relation to the institutional structure are indicated in the Exhibit D1 Organizational Chart and faculty governance and administrative responsibilities are clearly delineated within Exhibit D4 Governance and Administrative Responsibilities Consistent with the by-laws of the Board of Regents established University policies and procedures and the Constitution of the University Faculty Senate the Music Unit faculty maintains a vital role in the collegial governance of the University Through the Faculty Senate various committees councils and task forces the faculty approves curricular changes and makes recommendations to the administration in many other areas Copies of these policies and procedures are available in various University documents such as the Appendix 4 KSU Faculty Handbook 2011 and the Faculty Senate Constitution The faculty of the Music Unit holds regularly scheduled meetings In addition it meets in special general sessions on the call of the Provost the President or at the request of a number of its membership as prescribed by its rules Copies of the minutes of faculty meetings are provided to the President the Provost Nice President for Academic Affairs the secretary of the University Faculty Senate and each member of the Music Unit faculty Within the limits established by University policies and the Faculty Senate Constitution the faculty of the Music Unit determines the educational policies of the unit

Noticeably absent from this current organizational structure are the deanship levels that have been associated with this structure for the past self-study cycles which were eliminated in 2015 The music executiversquos responsibilities and authority are clearly articulated and delineated within the Exhibit D3 Chairpersonrsquos Job Description The elimination of the deanship administrative

Page 6 of 60

level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive and necessitated a streamlined and closer working relationship with upper level administrators which has been highly effective

While the Exhibit D5 Chairpersonrsquos Duties and Responsibilities clearly delineates the direct responsibilities as well as the respective methods of appointment and evaluation regarding the music executive it is highly unclear regarding the term of the chief music executive The communication policies and patterns within the Music Unit are consistent with those delineated within the institutionrsquos Exhibit D6 Communications Policy and are threshold compliant

The issue of clerical professional and technical support is a constant concern of the Music Unit The Unit shares one administrative secretary with the Areas of Art and SpeechCommunicationTheater and reports to the Chairperson of the Division of Fine Arts Not unlike the previously referenced impact of austere measures this component of the program is also impacted and the Unit has lost one principal secretary position since the last self-study of 2006 To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending Exhibit D7 Clerical Professional and Technical Support delineates the Music Unitrsquos clerical professional and technical support

Exhibit D8 Jointly Administered Programs delineates the Music Unitrsquos jointly administered program and the Unitrsquos collaboration with the institutionrsquos Teacher Education Program is threshold compliant

E Faculty and Staff

Perhaps the most obvious impact of necessary and continuing institutional austerity has been absorbed by Unit faculty lines The number of Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time (exclusive of the Music Executive) and 3 part-time positions Since the last Self Study the program has experienced the retirement and loss of longstanding and seasoned components of its faculty and as indicated by the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table we have attempted to replace those position lines in as creatively and effectively as possible The aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals remains appropriate to cover the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

Exhibit E1a Faculty Loading Guidelines delineates the Music Unitrsquos specific policies and procedures for calculating faculty loads which has proven highly effective in ensuring and maintaining the equity delineated within the Exhibit E3 Faculty Teaching Assignments

The facilitation of exemplary teaching and ample Professional Development opportunities are highly related standards and are foundations of the Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN Exhibit E1c Demonstration of Teaching Effectiveness Checklist and Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae provide additional datainformation as it regards threshold compliance with these respective standards

Page 7 of 60

Likewise Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion Exhibit E5 Policy on Compensation and Exhibit E6 Faculty Fringe Benefits offer supportive evidence of threshold compliance as it regards (1) the institutionrsquos published policies concerning appointment tenure and promotions for full-time and part-time faculty and (2) compensation increases in salary and fringe benefits

F Facilities Equipment Technology Health and Safety

The Music Unit is located in the west wing of Bradford Hall which is further and specifically detailed within Exhibit F1 Facilities

In addition to the Music Unit facilities Bradford Hall houses two performance hallsmdashBradford Hall Auditorium (900 capacity) and the Little Theatre (250 capacity)mdashas well as facilities in the buildings east wing for the School of Business Consequently there is heavy traffic in the building from students faculty staff and the community

The performance halls related facilities (stage shop green room and dressing rooms) and equipment (two concert grand pianos a 56 grand piano a Steiner pipe organ one upright pianos lighting risers etc) are used extensively by on- and off-campus groups for a variety of arts and non-arts eventsmdashincluding Music Unit large and small ensemble concerts student and faculty solo recitals the annual Middle School Band Workshop guest artist performances and Frankfort Arts Foundation concerts

While these performance halls and their utilization policies are sufficient for the purposes of the Unit this is not the case (when considering the mission goals and objectives of the Music Unit and its faculty) as all regard the general state of the Bradford Hall physical plant and future facilities and equipment needs Exhibit F1 Facilities provides specific recommendations that were proposed during the last Self-Study to address the facilities needs of the Music Unit which have yet to be fully addressed Those recommendations were developed in accordance with music instructional facilities guidelines published by MENCmdashThe National Association for Music Education To date the University administration continues to seek ways to address the facilities needs of the Music Unit and to ensure threshold compliance

Additionally Blazer Library houses the Music Listening Laboratory and compact disc sound recording collection as detailed in the following Section G Library and Learning Resources

Exhibit F2 Comprehensive Music Inventory delineates the Music Unitrsquos current inventory of equipment and technology for music as required by the institution While that inventory has well-served the Unit Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements further delineates critical enhancements that have been proposed for expanding the Unitrsquos technology and curricular capabilities and ensuring threshold compliance

Page 8 of 60

Kentucky State University maintains a 24-hour Police Department to provide security for the campus Officers duties include the monitoring of Bradford Hall and maintaining its general security Additionally faculty and staff are accountable to the extent possible for the security of the specific areas under their direct control to avoid thefts of equipment and vandalism

The Division of Fine Arts Chairperson (the Music Executive) Campus Police and University Facilities Management officials continue to monitor and address security and safety issues Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp5-6 delineates the Music Unitrsquos means for informing students and others regarding health and safety issues hazards and procedures inherent to practice performance teaching and listening both in general and as applicable to their specialization Recent key stakeholders survey results regarding hazards health and safety issues indicate that this strategy is meeting with mixed results regarding threshold compliance

G Library and Learning Resources

The Music Unit does not maintain a music library separate from the campus library However the Unit does have access to the library learning and information resources necessary to fulfill its mission goals and objectives which are appropriate for the size and scope of its operations and threshold compliance

Exhibit G1a Narrative clearly delineates the operational standards governance and administration collections development personnel services access facilities and finances associated with the Paul G Blazer Library in accordance with University policy approved by the Board of Regents

The Paul G Blazer Library music collections learning and information resources and listening accommodations are delineated within Exhibit G1b Comprehensive Holdings Exhibit G1d Music Periodicals Exhibit G1e Music Scores Exhibit G1f Music Titles and Exhibit G1c Music Listening Lab respectively

The Music Unit additionally maintains the Music Technology Laboratory (BH-G8) which accommodates structured listening activities As previously discussed above Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements delineates those critical enhancements of the Laboratory deemed necessary to bring the facility to threshold compliance Finally the operational policies and procedures for access are appropriate to the needs of the Unitrsquos students and faculty and are delineated within Exhibit G1g Music Technology Lab Policies

H Recruitment AdmissionndashRetention Record Keeping and Advisement

The Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices are governed by and in accord with those of the University as delineated within Exhibit A1 Admissions Policy and Procedures KSU 2016 Cataloguepp21-26 p29 Additionally to insure ethical recruitment practices statewide the Kentucky Association of College Music Departments (KACMD) has established the following guidelines for accepting music scholarships at any public or private college or university in Kentucky

(1) Students accepting their awards are declaring their intent to attend the school making the offer

(2) Students may accept a music scholarship from only ONE member institution

(3) The written acceptance of music scholarships from more than one member institution signed after May 1 will result in the withdrawal of scholarship offers to the student by member institutions involved

(5) Awards may be offered and accepted only in written form Verbal commitments are not permissible and are not binding

(6) Upon accepting scholarships from a member institution students cannot be released from their commitment to that institution without written permission from the schools music executive

(7) Transferring students are ineligible for music scholarships at the new institution until the completion of one semester of full-time study unless specifically released in writing by the music executive of the original school

The Unitrsquos Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with these policies Furthermore both Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and Exhibit A2c KSU 2016-2020 Strategic Plan articulate clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories that are designed to offset the sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment experienced over the past five years Our efforts are additionally better facilitated through the Unitrsquos Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals

Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow facilitates our efforts to ensure that all prospect communications are in accord with the Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices and specific procedures and music unit standards used for prospect and student placements are delineated within Exhibit A1 Program Proficiency Expectations KSU 2016 Catalogue pp156-157

The Music Unit fully acknowledges sustaining an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both recruitment and retention and our respective efforts additionally acknowledge the critical role assumed by intrusive advisement strategies in reaching the Unitrsquos retention trajectories While Exhibit H3a KSU Centralized Advising Model delineates Kentucky State Universityrsquos procedures for student advisement the Music Unit has assumed a

Page 10 of 60

more intrusive model of advising and counseling through its Exhibit H3b DOFA Advising Handbook For example Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting ensures that every music major experiences a comprehensive review before the entire Unit faculty each semester of their matriculation In our pursuit of threshold compliance these reviews have been highly effective in (1) identifying specific threats to individual student success (2) acknowledging and reinforcing positive behaviors (3) counseling majors on preparing for careers and anticipating the continuation of studies and (4) facilitating continuous student focus on the valuable precepts necessary for student success

Exhibit H4 KSU Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures delineates the institutional policy and procedures for the submission processing and consideration of student complaints Exhibit H5 KSU Teacher Educator Preparation Program delineates specific guidelines and procedures for counseling students preparing to be elementarysecondary specialist music teachers and are threshold compliant

Exhibit H6 KSU Department of Music Advisee Folio Required Components delineates the mandatory and required components of each student folio which fully informs the Unitrsquos advising and counseling efforts Student data is updated continuously during each semester by Music faculty advisors who have real-time access via their office computers to student academic and financial records maintained on the Universitys student information system This process is threshold compliant and these data are contained in curriculum checklists which clearly specify graduation andor certification requirements and are included in each music majors folio along with a current transcript and other documents pertaining to their academic progress Students repertory studied and performances are recorded at the end of each semester on the Applied Music Record form Faculty members have immediate access to most student records via their personal computers

Digital recording resources are in place in Bradford Hall Auditorium nevertheless no policy is in place to require the recording and maintenance of audio andor video tape recordings for an archival record of a students performance of the junior or senior recital Any audio andor video recording that takes place is usually effected through the efforts of the individual applied instructors or the student

Finally the specific means of assessing our progress on these critical issues are delineated within Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan and specifically detailed below in Section N of the Self-Study

Page 11 of 60

I Published Materials and Web Sites

The institution and the Music Unit ensure threshold compliance in all of its published materials Those materials are clear detailed accurate and readily available

Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue Appendix 3 KSU Student Handbook and Appendix 4 KSU Faculty Handbook 2011 represent the primary repositories of the institution and the Unitrsquos policies and procedures and those publications are cited throughout this document in providing evidence of threshold compliance with respective standards

Likewise the Kentucky State University website provides online portable document format files calendars and other accessible information of interest Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit delineates the various accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates Promotional materials associated with the student recruitment process provided by the Office of Admissions are comparable in content and format to those of the other state-supported and private colleges and universities in Kentucky The Music executive has secured permission to directly control and revise the contents of the Unitrsquos website which has resulted in critical updates and enhancements such as Exhibit J2 Echoes Our Online Newsletter The Music Unit continuously updates the contents and information contained within those materials as well within the University website

A comprehensive listing with appropriate exhibit links of all relevant materials are included within Section IV the Management Documents Portfolio Contents Table of this Self-Study as Section I Published Materials and Website and are threshold compliant

K Community Involvement

The Music Unit maintains a documented commitment to the cultural enrichment of the Frankfort community and the University service area counties For example the Unitrsquos Exhibit J3 The Keys to the Community Project and Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation

Threshold compliance is advanced through the Unitrsquos Arts in Education initiative where ensembles such as the Marching Thorobred Band Jazz Ensemble our new Commercial Music Ensemble Concert Choir Show Choir and Gospel Ensemble regularly perform for University public schools and community events and the OperaMusical Theater Workshop has presented numerous performances of operas and opera scenes for area public schools Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdashwas established to create musical awareness in young children enrich their self-esteem enhance their social skills and reinforce basic literacy skills

Page 12 of 60

through community outreach activities Although the initiative served as a critical component of the Unitrsquos community involvement it has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding and has been identified for revitalization in the Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements

N Evaluation Planning and Projections

The review and evaluation of the Music Unitrsquos current activities and planning to effect needed changes are the primary responsibility of the administrator of the Music Unit (Division of Fine Arts Chairperson) and involve all music faculty and the upper level administrators to whom the Chairperson reports Major structures and activities which provide planning projection of data and threshold compliance are the Music Unit Committee Structure and the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty which includes student evaluations of the music curricular experiences

The music faculty meeting represents the most critical component of the unit structure These meetings occur on an average of two or three times a month On a less regular basis the unit undergoes periodic assessment by outside agencies (such as SACS NASM NCATE) or external evaluators such as the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Educationrsquos Appendix 2 CPE Program Review-Music 2013 and Appendix 9 CPE Program Review -Music-2015 As previously noted within this Self-Study six of the Unitrsquos faculty have been appointed within the last two years and the Music executive ensures familiarity and compliance with these critical expectations through the Appendix 10 Faculty Responsibilities- Expectations And Compliance Policies and the Appendix 8 The Implementation of a Pre-tenure Mentorship and Advisory Council

Music Unit committees report to the Chairperson and to the Unit Faculty The Unit Curriculum Committee and Tenure and Promotion Committee make recommendations through the Chairperson and the Provost to the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee and to the University Tenure and Promotion Committee respectively The activities of these two committees are governed by University policies the Curriculum Committee by the Faculty Senate Constitution and the Tenure and Promotion Committee by Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion

Page 13 of 60

Unit faculty members meeting as a committee of the whole debate and make decisions in areas such as the academic program recruitment of students planning events and so forth Specific issues are advanced and discussed and the entire faculty always participates in major projects or initiatives such as this or any other self-study In other areas individual faculty members assist the chairperson with specific assignments On the whole our discussion of issues include the current status and the specific factors contributing to that status (evaluation) the necessary changes to bring about the desired future improvements (planning) and the metrics and trajectories that will demonstrate the attainment of those improvements (projections)

The evaluation of student achievement is facilitated in several ways which are further delineated within Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 and especially most recently Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 The Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination recitals keyboard proficiency assessments and Unit juries provide data on knowledge and skills acquired in music Surveys of graduates provide additional information on the relationship between quality of instruction and the music curriculum with success in post-graduate employment Correlation of these data and data from external evaluations are conducted by the Music executive Such overall assessments are generally presented to the music faculty acting as a committee of the whole These data become the basis for future planning

The main opportunity available to the Unitrsquos students to formally evaluate their curricular experiences is the Student Evaluation of Instruction which is further detailed on the next page of the Self-Study Additionally the evaluation of Unit faculty is facilitated by the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty and the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks

The Music Unit is guided by a newly (2015) developed Strategic Plan that embraces KSUrsquos rich history traditions and diversity in preparing our students for careers as practicing artists educators and performers Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan are provided as evidence of the Unitrsquos efforts and threshold compliance with the standards of this section of the Self-Study

The Music executive aggressively engaged all key stakeholders in a yearlong pursuit of the present long-term strategic plan That involvement was pursued in a critical effort to articulate and capture perceptual data from all key stakeholders ie our students faculty staff and alumni as they regard perceived Unit strengths weaknesses threats and opportunities We engaged our key stakeholders in this process since the efficacy of these efforts remain highly dependent on programmatic ownership

SWOT Analyses commenced in September of 2014 when formal surveys were administered to all key stakeholders seeking their vital perceptions and opinions The item responses of those surveys were tabulated commentary was aggregated and specific thematic trends were identified The Music executive pursued a yearlong period of observations in an effort to either validate or invalidate the themes that arose from the environmental scan The

Page 14 of 60

thematic trends that were validated through direct observation subsequently fully informed the construction and development of specific Goals Objectives and Strategic Priorities

The resulting Strategic Plan evolved from the unique value and positioning of Kentucky State University and the Music Unit moves to marketing communication and exemplary engagement as recruitment and retention mechanisms and finally addresses longstanding programmatic issues We view this as an integrated approach starting with each individual associated with the Unit and ending with a systematic view of all functions that make up the Unit and its programs

Our immediate vision has been aligned with the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks and seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices The Unit is additionally pursuing programmatic and curricular revisions which will maximize efficiency in matriculation and time-to-degree while expanding the latitude of options for meeting student competencies and proficiencies within the context of current accreditations Whether through presentations such as concerts recitals productions exhibitions lectures or workshops our global focus seeks to advance an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

Provided immediately below are the resulting Unit Goals with selective assessment commentary on the Unitrsquos current progress

GOAL 1 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Teaching Learning and Assessment

Unit faculty pursued the exhaustive development of Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes These outcomes are designed to better document the Unitrsquos evaluation of student achievement and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are aligned with the essential student competencies articulated by NASM NCATE and the institutional Appendix 11 Liberal Studies Core Essential Competencies

Unit faculty are subsequently utilizing Blackboard and Live Text to implement appropriate assessment modules as a means of assessing student achievement as it regards our SLOs and which are delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Faculty document the development and implementation of at least one major assessment project for each course of instruction and disseminate those assessments within the Annual Self Evaluation Form SES 1

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit I1 Music at Kentucky State University Website Unit faculty have significantly infused global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices a primary theme that resulted from our SWOT analyses We have implemented three additional Commercial ensembles and revitalized our elective courses in Jazz and African American Music

Finally regarding Student Evaluations of Instruction the Unit has this year abandoned the more traditional opinion survey and migrated to the use of the IDEA assessment systems This change resulted from our observation that the previous survey instrument did little to measure teaching effectiveness nor to advance the improvement of instruction Exhibit E7 An Analysis and Critique of the Methods of Student Evaluation of Faculty pp 1-3 clearly delineates our rationale for doing so Moreover the primary benefit of this platform is that it requires the alignment of all questions or inquiries with specific student learning goals that are identified by each individual faculty member

GOAL 2 Implement intrusive recruitment strategies that will ensure a representative community of aspiring scholars artists and musicians

The Unit has developed and implemented Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures and Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting to immediately advance our recruitment and retention efforts Faculty are additionally implementing the EAB Campus Student Success Collaborative as an intrusive mode of student engagement Progress reports are generated throughout each semester for each student in each class under their instruction The impact of these innovations has been immediate as the Unit has exceeded its recruitment targets for the current year and expanded our first to second year retention rate to over 60

GOAL 3 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Scholarship Performance and Creative Activity

As is delineated within Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 the frequency and quality of performance seminars and recitals have doubled over the past two years Likewise Unit faculty creative activities have significantly increased as delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae

GOAL 4 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Service and Professional Development

As delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae Unit faculty service and professional development activities have significantly increased

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses In addition to the requirements of the students major field of study Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University The Liberal Studies Requirements are divided into two parts The General Core Requirements and the Integrative Studies Requirements

The previous 2006 Self-Study expressed legitimate concerns that the high credit hour requirement for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements consistently jeopardized new student recruitment efforts as well as placed additional burden on students matriculating through the Bachelor of Music degree program Two occurrences have mitigated those legitimate concerns and vastly improved the time-to-degree prospects for those students majoring in Music First the University has subsequently reviewed the Liberal Studies General Core and Integrative Studies Requirements and fully implemented the changes necessary to decrease those requirements for specific majors including Music

Second the university has mandated that all degree programs strictly adhere to a maximum of 120 credit hours for all baccalaureate degrees While this latter occurrence has necessitated critical curricular and experiential revisions they have required that the Unit approach threshold compliance from the perspective of meeting competencies through a variety on means and experiences as opposed to specifically designated courses Subsequent to the latter occurrence the Unit reorganized common courses within our degree options into a Music Core Curriculummdashwith instrumental keyboard and vocal major tracks

The implementation of various ldquoSpecializationsrdquo within the ldquoBachelor of Musicrdquo degree option represents a related by product of that curricular reorganization That strategy was

Page 17 of 60

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

One semester credit hour generally represents one clock hour of recitation or lecture or two clock hours of laboratory per week for one semester for most University courses Credit requirements for music coursesmdashMUA Music Applied MUC MusicClass Instruction MUE Music Education MUP Music Performance Ensemble and MUS Music are in accordance with NASM standards and are published in the Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue pp 407-417 In granting course credit to transfer students Kentucky State University maintains academic policies that assure that the overall educational experiences of transferring students are equivalent in quality and content to those provided by KSU and these policies are published in the Exhibit A1 Transfer Policies KSU 2016 Catalogue p57

IIA2 All Professional Baccalaureate Degrees in MusicmdashCommon Body of Knowledge and Skills Evaluation of the Development of Competencies

1 Performance

The Music Unit is committed to the highest possible standards in its performance areas Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi delineates various curricular and experiential processes that are designed to ensure threshold compliance with expected competencies The Music Theory Placement Examination and the Piano Placement Examination further delineated in the Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency are administered to determine the studentrsquos level of entry into the music theory and piano sequences respectively

General descriptions of the Unitrsquos performance evaluation policies and procedures are published in the Exhibit A1 Bachelor of Music KSU 2016 Catalogue pp157-158 and the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 Spec

All music majors are required to successfully complete applied performance courses and an accompanying performance laboratory each semester except for music education students during the semester in which they complete student teaching Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes fully informs all the Units performance curricula experiences and practices

Instrumental majors (wind brass percussion) must demonstrate mastery of the specific performance skills knowledge and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study

Page 18 of 60

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

4 History and Repertory

The Music Unit is committed to providing its students and the University community with a variety of musical experiences that are reflective of diverse stylistic historical and cultural traditions The Unit offers specific courses in music history and music literature that are designed to provide students with opportunities to study and examine such stylistic historical and cultural

Page 20 of 60

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

5 Synthesis

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

As such music majors at Kentucky State University demonstrate a synthesis of their musical study through numerous requirements and activities For example in the music theory sequence students must relate to music literature from a wide variety of musical periods and styles in several different ways historically analytically aurally and compositionally Moreover the Sophomore Proficiency applied music juries course examinations and Junior and Senior Recitals all provide opportunities to assess students abilities to synthesize their musical and educational experiences

IIA3 Teacher Education Programs

The Music Education Specialization is offered in conjunction with the School of Education Kentucky State Universityrsquos undergraduate Music Education program prepares prospective music teachers for the Kentucky teacher certification in music K-12 Students acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in pedagogy music theory musical performance history and literature to earn the Bachelor of Music Education credentials

The Unitrsquos process for selecting supervising and cooperating teachers and sites is dictated by standards and procedures established by the Education Professional Standards Board and delineated within Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching This administrative regulation describes the special requirements for certification that affect the teacher training program in music education and establishes the

Page 21 of 60

standards for admission placement and supervision in student teaching within the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The institutionrsquos educator preparation program selects clinical faculty member to serve as the University Supervisor according to the guidelines delineated within the Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching Cooperating teachers are teachers employed in a public school or a nonpublic school which meets the state performance standards as established in KRS 156160 or which has been accredited by a regional or national accrediting association who is contracting with an educator preparation institution to supervise a student teacher for the purpose of fulfilling the student teaching requirement of the approved educator preparation program The quality of cooperating schools remains high while the variety of placements is limited and primarily influenced by the requirements outlined immediately above

Music Education candidates must interact with school personnel and parents in tutorial assignments field and clinical experiences and supervised teaching The Music Unit ensures collaboration with the professional community through several initiatives Unit faculty members also collaborate with public school music educators in the provision of field and clinical experiences Additionally candidates collaborate with each other in completing and implementing various laboratory and course assignments

One of the significant aspects of the music education program is the low teacher-to-student ratio and the resulting high level of personal attention students receive With small classes professors are able to know each student especially regarding academic and musical strengths and weaknesses motivation and professional goals In such an environment aspects such as field activities are tailored to the needs of the individual student

One Music Unit faculty representative serves on the Teacher Education Committee and has primary responsibility to monitor the progress of Unit candidates The advisor is assigned one-quarter time to the education unit and advises music Education majors teaches methods of music courses and observes candidates in their supervised teaching As a member of the Teacher Education Committee and the education unit the advisor is informed about the performance of each candidate on all criteria in the Continuous Assessment Plan As a member of the music faculty the advisor is also informed about the progress of each candidate in satisfactorily completing the required music courses

As delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Music education candidates are well grounded in content knowledge displaying basic music competencies essential to teaching music in addition to a broad knowledge acquired through general studies Students are prohibited from concurrent enrollment during student teaching and Unit candidates complete a 12 credit hour dual placement at the primary and the secondary levels which include observation and practice of lesson planning classroom teaching classroom management and assessment of learning under the guidance of the supervising teacher and a university supervisor They additionally synthesize content theory

Page 36 of 60

A primary goal of the Music Unit is to provide courses and experiences in support of the institutionrsquos Liberal Studies Mission its unique diversity and heritage and the requirements of other academic units for service courses and the Unitrsquos efforts in this area meet and exceed institution-wide aspirations for developing positive values for music

Kentucky State University focuses on liberal studies programming in accordance with its mission and since music is an integral part of the traditional liberal arts curriculum the Music program is considered by Kentucky State University as an essential component of the Universitys mission The Unit provides the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree and a Minor option in Performance both of which are intended for the Kentucky State University student who wishes to study music within a liberal studies framework and use the degree as a foundation for a wide range of career options andor graduate study in music or other academic areas Of the twelve Liberal Studies-based general education learning outcomes required for all students the Music program directly addresses three

1) To recognize and value both the global diversity of cultures by study of Western and non-Western cultures and by study of foreign language and the multicultural nature of American society including the cultural contributions of African Americans (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 6)

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Numerous performances are sponsored by the Frankfort Arts Foundation Through a partnership with Kentucky State University the City of Frankfort Franklin County Fiscal Court and with the support of the Kentucky Arts Council local businesses patron and friends the Frankfort Arts Foundation (FAF) provides an average of some eight subscription concerts each year to the city with performances taking place in Bradford Hall of Kentucky State University The FAF also sponsors Artists in the Schools programs and community master classes This organization is instrumental in bringing a variety of high quality arts programming to the Frankfort community and University students Free admission is provided to students of Kentucky State University and Unit faculty members have and continue to provide their

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

The strategic goals objectives policies and procedures of the Music Unit are transmitted

1 To students through meetings with their major advisors regularly scheduled meetings with music students and faculty members Music Unit brochure the University Catalogue and other various written communications such as the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook

2 To University administrators and faculty through Unit meetings Fine Arts Divisional meetings University Teacher Education Committee meetings departmental brochures Faculty Senate meetings and written communications through the University administrative chain and

3 To the public through the University Catalogue Music Unit brochures website recruitment visits and meetings of professional music organizations attended by members of the Music faculty

Upon approval the Music Units objectives are summarized in the University Catalogue and other public communications

B Size and Scope andC Finances

Sections B and C are combined for the sake of clarity and continuity Once again statements of purposes and specific aims for Kentucky State University and the Music Unit are delineated in Exhibit A2a KSU Mission and Vision and Exhibit A2b DOFA Mission and Vision respectively

Not unlike many similar institutions over the past eight years Kentucky State University has been significantly challenged to overcome the fiscal impediments caused by the Great Recession a plummeting stock market and revised student aid guidelines These circumstances caused the entire institution to implement austere measures that were necessary to simply allow it to remain open and viable Additional mitigating issues have resulted from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years necessitating an increased tuition burden on our students as indicated in Exhibit I7 Costs of Attendance

Exhibit C1 Music Budget Trends indicates that while such austerity remains highly necessary the Music Unit has maintained a commensurate level of institutional support Music enrollments have remained stable and the Unit has been able to expand its curricular offerings and experiences to include more strategic focus on the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage As is indicated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments the University maintains sufficient enrollment to cover the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and to support the various service courses offered by the Music Unit

The ensemble experiences provided are diversemdashranging from small instrumental and vocal ensembles the OperaMusical Theater Workshop to large ensembles such as the Concert Choir Symphonic Band the Commercial Music Ensemble Jazz Ensemble and Marching

Page 5 of 60

Thorobred Band The vitality of these ensembles is evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

The size of the Music Unit although small is comparable to that of other universities of similar size and as delineated within Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors ndash Fall 2016 our enrollment of student majors has remained steady With the exception of a string specialist academic and applied disciplines are adequately addressed Despite limited operating resources the Music Unit is consistently able to advance its mission goals and objectives As is indicated by the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae Exhibit E3 Faculty Teaching Assignments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit A1 Faculty Kentucky State University 2016 Catalogue pp 554-564 the Unitrsquos faculty is academically well-prepared and committed to the delivery of a current quality curriculum that prepares its students for professional careers

The 1996 NASM self-study identified the need for additional classroom office practice and storage space and that need has yet to be fully addressed Even though additional space is needed the Unit continues to do remarkably well at creatively leveraging the current available space and resources toward the advancement of our program Exhibit B1 HEADS DATA SUMMARIES and Exhibit C1 Music Budget Trends provide additional datainformation as it regards affirming threshold compliance with the respective standards of these two sections

D Governance and Administration

The internal organization of the Music Unit and its relation to the institutional structure are indicated in the Exhibit D1 Organizational Chart and faculty governance and administrative responsibilities are clearly delineated within Exhibit D4 Governance and Administrative Responsibilities Consistent with the by-laws of the Board of Regents established University policies and procedures and the Constitution of the University Faculty Senate the Music Unit faculty maintains a vital role in the collegial governance of the University Through the Faculty Senate various committees councils and task forces the faculty approves curricular changes and makes recommendations to the administration in many other areas Copies of these policies and procedures are available in various University documents such as the Appendix 4 KSU Faculty Handbook 2011 and the Faculty Senate Constitution The faculty of the Music Unit holds regularly scheduled meetings In addition it meets in special general sessions on the call of the Provost the President or at the request of a number of its membership as prescribed by its rules Copies of the minutes of faculty meetings are provided to the President the Provost Nice President for Academic Affairs the secretary of the University Faculty Senate and each member of the Music Unit faculty Within the limits established by University policies and the Faculty Senate Constitution the faculty of the Music Unit determines the educational policies of the unit

Noticeably absent from this current organizational structure are the deanship levels that have been associated with this structure for the past self-study cycles which were eliminated in 2015 The music executiversquos responsibilities and authority are clearly articulated and delineated within the Exhibit D3 Chairpersonrsquos Job Description The elimination of the deanship administrative

Page 6 of 60

level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive and necessitated a streamlined and closer working relationship with upper level administrators which has been highly effective

While the Exhibit D5 Chairpersonrsquos Duties and Responsibilities clearly delineates the direct responsibilities as well as the respective methods of appointment and evaluation regarding the music executive it is highly unclear regarding the term of the chief music executive The communication policies and patterns within the Music Unit are consistent with those delineated within the institutionrsquos Exhibit D6 Communications Policy and are threshold compliant

The issue of clerical professional and technical support is a constant concern of the Music Unit The Unit shares one administrative secretary with the Areas of Art and SpeechCommunicationTheater and reports to the Chairperson of the Division of Fine Arts Not unlike the previously referenced impact of austere measures this component of the program is also impacted and the Unit has lost one principal secretary position since the last self-study of 2006 To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending Exhibit D7 Clerical Professional and Technical Support delineates the Music Unitrsquos clerical professional and technical support

Exhibit D8 Jointly Administered Programs delineates the Music Unitrsquos jointly administered program and the Unitrsquos collaboration with the institutionrsquos Teacher Education Program is threshold compliant

E Faculty and Staff

Perhaps the most obvious impact of necessary and continuing institutional austerity has been absorbed by Unit faculty lines The number of Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time (exclusive of the Music Executive) and 3 part-time positions Since the last Self Study the program has experienced the retirement and loss of longstanding and seasoned components of its faculty and as indicated by the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table we have attempted to replace those position lines in as creatively and effectively as possible The aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals remains appropriate to cover the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

Exhibit E1a Faculty Loading Guidelines delineates the Music Unitrsquos specific policies and procedures for calculating faculty loads which has proven highly effective in ensuring and maintaining the equity delineated within the Exhibit E3 Faculty Teaching Assignments

The facilitation of exemplary teaching and ample Professional Development opportunities are highly related standards and are foundations of the Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN Exhibit E1c Demonstration of Teaching Effectiveness Checklist and Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae provide additional datainformation as it regards threshold compliance with these respective standards

Page 7 of 60

Likewise Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion Exhibit E5 Policy on Compensation and Exhibit E6 Faculty Fringe Benefits offer supportive evidence of threshold compliance as it regards (1) the institutionrsquos published policies concerning appointment tenure and promotions for full-time and part-time faculty and (2) compensation increases in salary and fringe benefits

F Facilities Equipment Technology Health and Safety

The Music Unit is located in the west wing of Bradford Hall which is further and specifically detailed within Exhibit F1 Facilities

In addition to the Music Unit facilities Bradford Hall houses two performance hallsmdashBradford Hall Auditorium (900 capacity) and the Little Theatre (250 capacity)mdashas well as facilities in the buildings east wing for the School of Business Consequently there is heavy traffic in the building from students faculty staff and the community

The performance halls related facilities (stage shop green room and dressing rooms) and equipment (two concert grand pianos a 56 grand piano a Steiner pipe organ one upright pianos lighting risers etc) are used extensively by on- and off-campus groups for a variety of arts and non-arts eventsmdashincluding Music Unit large and small ensemble concerts student and faculty solo recitals the annual Middle School Band Workshop guest artist performances and Frankfort Arts Foundation concerts

While these performance halls and their utilization policies are sufficient for the purposes of the Unit this is not the case (when considering the mission goals and objectives of the Music Unit and its faculty) as all regard the general state of the Bradford Hall physical plant and future facilities and equipment needs Exhibit F1 Facilities provides specific recommendations that were proposed during the last Self-Study to address the facilities needs of the Music Unit which have yet to be fully addressed Those recommendations were developed in accordance with music instructional facilities guidelines published by MENCmdashThe National Association for Music Education To date the University administration continues to seek ways to address the facilities needs of the Music Unit and to ensure threshold compliance

Additionally Blazer Library houses the Music Listening Laboratory and compact disc sound recording collection as detailed in the following Section G Library and Learning Resources

Exhibit F2 Comprehensive Music Inventory delineates the Music Unitrsquos current inventory of equipment and technology for music as required by the institution While that inventory has well-served the Unit Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements further delineates critical enhancements that have been proposed for expanding the Unitrsquos technology and curricular capabilities and ensuring threshold compliance

Page 8 of 60

Kentucky State University maintains a 24-hour Police Department to provide security for the campus Officers duties include the monitoring of Bradford Hall and maintaining its general security Additionally faculty and staff are accountable to the extent possible for the security of the specific areas under their direct control to avoid thefts of equipment and vandalism

The Division of Fine Arts Chairperson (the Music Executive) Campus Police and University Facilities Management officials continue to monitor and address security and safety issues Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp5-6 delineates the Music Unitrsquos means for informing students and others regarding health and safety issues hazards and procedures inherent to practice performance teaching and listening both in general and as applicable to their specialization Recent key stakeholders survey results regarding hazards health and safety issues indicate that this strategy is meeting with mixed results regarding threshold compliance

G Library and Learning Resources

The Music Unit does not maintain a music library separate from the campus library However the Unit does have access to the library learning and information resources necessary to fulfill its mission goals and objectives which are appropriate for the size and scope of its operations and threshold compliance

Exhibit G1a Narrative clearly delineates the operational standards governance and administration collections development personnel services access facilities and finances associated with the Paul G Blazer Library in accordance with University policy approved by the Board of Regents

The Paul G Blazer Library music collections learning and information resources and listening accommodations are delineated within Exhibit G1b Comprehensive Holdings Exhibit G1d Music Periodicals Exhibit G1e Music Scores Exhibit G1f Music Titles and Exhibit G1c Music Listening Lab respectively

The Music Unit additionally maintains the Music Technology Laboratory (BH-G8) which accommodates structured listening activities As previously discussed above Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements delineates those critical enhancements of the Laboratory deemed necessary to bring the facility to threshold compliance Finally the operational policies and procedures for access are appropriate to the needs of the Unitrsquos students and faculty and are delineated within Exhibit G1g Music Technology Lab Policies

Page 9 of 60

H Recruitment AdmissionndashRetention Record Keeping and Advisement

The Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices are governed by and in accord with those of the University as delineated within Exhibit A1 Admissions Policy and Procedures KSU 2016 Cataloguepp21-26 p29 Additionally to insure ethical recruitment practices statewide the Kentucky Association of College Music Departments (KACMD) has established the following guidelines for accepting music scholarships at any public or private college or university in Kentucky

(1) Students accepting their awards are declaring their intent to attend the school making the offer

(2) Students may accept a music scholarship from only ONE member institution

(3) The written acceptance of music scholarships from more than one member institution signed after May 1 will result in the withdrawal of scholarship offers to the student by member institutions involved

(5) Awards may be offered and accepted only in written form Verbal commitments are not permissible and are not binding

(6) Upon accepting scholarships from a member institution students cannot be released from their commitment to that institution without written permission from the schools music executive

(7) Transferring students are ineligible for music scholarships at the new institution until the completion of one semester of full-time study unless specifically released in writing by the music executive of the original school

The Unitrsquos Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with these policies Furthermore both Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and Exhibit A2c KSU 2016-2020 Strategic Plan articulate clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories that are designed to offset the sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment experienced over the past five years Our efforts are additionally better facilitated through the Unitrsquos Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals

Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow facilitates our efforts to ensure that all prospect communications are in accord with the Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices and specific procedures and music unit standards used for prospect and student placements are delineated within Exhibit A1 Program Proficiency Expectations KSU 2016 Catalogue pp156-157

The Music Unit fully acknowledges sustaining an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both recruitment and retention and our respective efforts additionally acknowledge the critical role assumed by intrusive advisement strategies in reaching the Unitrsquos retention trajectories While Exhibit H3a KSU Centralized Advising Model delineates Kentucky State Universityrsquos procedures for student advisement the Music Unit has assumed a

Page 10 of 60

more intrusive model of advising and counseling through its Exhibit H3b DOFA Advising Handbook For example Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting ensures that every music major experiences a comprehensive review before the entire Unit faculty each semester of their matriculation In our pursuit of threshold compliance these reviews have been highly effective in (1) identifying specific threats to individual student success (2) acknowledging and reinforcing positive behaviors (3) counseling majors on preparing for careers and anticipating the continuation of studies and (4) facilitating continuous student focus on the valuable precepts necessary for student success

Exhibit H4 KSU Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures delineates the institutional policy and procedures for the submission processing and consideration of student complaints Exhibit H5 KSU Teacher Educator Preparation Program delineates specific guidelines and procedures for counseling students preparing to be elementarysecondary specialist music teachers and are threshold compliant

Exhibit H6 KSU Department of Music Advisee Folio Required Components delineates the mandatory and required components of each student folio which fully informs the Unitrsquos advising and counseling efforts Student data is updated continuously during each semester by Music faculty advisors who have real-time access via their office computers to student academic and financial records maintained on the Universitys student information system This process is threshold compliant and these data are contained in curriculum checklists which clearly specify graduation andor certification requirements and are included in each music majors folio along with a current transcript and other documents pertaining to their academic progress Students repertory studied and performances are recorded at the end of each semester on the Applied Music Record form Faculty members have immediate access to most student records via their personal computers

Digital recording resources are in place in Bradford Hall Auditorium nevertheless no policy is in place to require the recording and maintenance of audio andor video tape recordings for an archival record of a students performance of the junior or senior recital Any audio andor video recording that takes place is usually effected through the efforts of the individual applied instructors or the student

Finally the specific means of assessing our progress on these critical issues are delineated within Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan and specifically detailed below in Section N of the Self-Study

N Evaluation Planning and Projections

The review and evaluation of the Music Unitrsquos current activities and planning to effect needed changes are the primary responsibility of the administrator of the Music Unit (Division of Fine Arts Chairperson) and involve all music faculty and the upper level administrators to whom the Chairperson reports Major structures and activities which provide planning projection of data and threshold compliance are the Music Unit Committee Structure and the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty which includes student evaluations of the music curricular experiences

The music faculty meeting represents the most critical component of the unit structure These meetings occur on an average of two or three times a month On a less regular basis the unit undergoes periodic assessment by outside agencies (such as SACS NASM NCATE) or external evaluators such as the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Educationrsquos Appendix 2 CPE Program Review-Music 2013 and Appendix 9 CPE Program Review -Music-2015 As previously noted within this Self-Study six of the Unitrsquos faculty have been appointed within the last two years and the Music executive ensures familiarity and compliance with these critical expectations through the Appendix 10 Faculty Responsibilities- Expectations And Compliance Policies and the Appendix 8 The Implementation of a Pre-tenure Mentorship and Advisory Council

Music Unit committees report to the Chairperson and to the Unit Faculty The Unit Curriculum Committee and Tenure and Promotion Committee make recommendations through the Chairperson and the Provost to the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee and to the University Tenure and Promotion Committee respectively The activities of these two committees are governed by University policies the Curriculum Committee by the Faculty Senate Constitution and the Tenure and Promotion Committee by Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion

Page 13 of 60

Unit faculty members meeting as a committee of the whole debate and make decisions in areas such as the academic program recruitment of students planning events and so forth Specific issues are advanced and discussed and the entire faculty always participates in major projects or initiatives such as this or any other self-study In other areas individual faculty members assist the chairperson with specific assignments On the whole our discussion of issues include the current status and the specific factors contributing to that status (evaluation) the necessary changes to bring about the desired future improvements (planning) and the metrics and trajectories that will demonstrate the attainment of those improvements (projections)

The evaluation of student achievement is facilitated in several ways which are further delineated within Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 and especially most recently Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 The Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination recitals keyboard proficiency assessments and Unit juries provide data on knowledge and skills acquired in music Surveys of graduates provide additional information on the relationship between quality of instruction and the music curriculum with success in post-graduate employment Correlation of these data and data from external evaluations are conducted by the Music executive Such overall assessments are generally presented to the music faculty acting as a committee of the whole These data become the basis for future planning

The main opportunity available to the Unitrsquos students to formally evaluate their curricular experiences is the Student Evaluation of Instruction which is further detailed on the next page of the Self-Study Additionally the evaluation of Unit faculty is facilitated by the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty and the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks

The Music Unit is guided by a newly (2015) developed Strategic Plan that embraces KSUrsquos rich history traditions and diversity in preparing our students for careers as practicing artists educators and performers Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan are provided as evidence of the Unitrsquos efforts and threshold compliance with the standards of this section of the Self-Study

The Music executive aggressively engaged all key stakeholders in a yearlong pursuit of the present long-term strategic plan That involvement was pursued in a critical effort to articulate and capture perceptual data from all key stakeholders ie our students faculty staff and alumni as they regard perceived Unit strengths weaknesses threats and opportunities We engaged our key stakeholders in this process since the efficacy of these efforts remain highly dependent on programmatic ownership

SWOT Analyses commenced in September of 2014 when formal surveys were administered to all key stakeholders seeking their vital perceptions and opinions The item responses of those surveys were tabulated commentary was aggregated and specific thematic trends were identified The Music executive pursued a yearlong period of observations in an effort to either validate or invalidate the themes that arose from the environmental scan The

Page 14 of 60

thematic trends that were validated through direct observation subsequently fully informed the construction and development of specific Goals Objectives and Strategic Priorities

The resulting Strategic Plan evolved from the unique value and positioning of Kentucky State University and the Music Unit moves to marketing communication and exemplary engagement as recruitment and retention mechanisms and finally addresses longstanding programmatic issues We view this as an integrated approach starting with each individual associated with the Unit and ending with a systematic view of all functions that make up the Unit and its programs

Our immediate vision has been aligned with the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks and seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices The Unit is additionally pursuing programmatic and curricular revisions which will maximize efficiency in matriculation and time-to-degree while expanding the latitude of options for meeting student competencies and proficiencies within the context of current accreditations Whether through presentations such as concerts recitals productions exhibitions lectures or workshops our global focus seeks to advance an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

Provided immediately below are the resulting Unit Goals with selective assessment commentary on the Unitrsquos current progress

GOAL 1 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Teaching Learning and Assessment

Unit faculty pursued the exhaustive development of Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes These outcomes are designed to better document the Unitrsquos evaluation of student achievement and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are aligned with the essential student competencies articulated by NASM NCATE and the institutional Appendix 11 Liberal Studies Core Essential Competencies

Unit faculty are subsequently utilizing Blackboard and Live Text to implement appropriate assessment modules as a means of assessing student achievement as it regards our SLOs and which are delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Faculty document the development and implementation of at least one major assessment project for each course of instruction and disseminate those assessments within the Annual Self Evaluation Form SES 1

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit I1 Music at Kentucky State University Website Unit faculty have significantly infused global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices a primary theme that resulted from our SWOT analyses We have implemented three additional Commercial ensembles and revitalized our elective courses in Jazz and African American Music

Page 15 of 60

Finally regarding Student Evaluations of Instruction the Unit has this year abandoned the more traditional opinion survey and migrated to the use of the IDEA assessment systems This change resulted from our observation that the previous survey instrument did little to measure teaching effectiveness nor to advance the improvement of instruction Exhibit E7 An Analysis and Critique of the Methods of Student Evaluation of Faculty pp 1-3 clearly delineates our rationale for doing so Moreover the primary benefit of this platform is that it requires the alignment of all questions or inquiries with specific student learning goals that are identified by each individual faculty member

GOAL 2 Implement intrusive recruitment strategies that will ensure a representative community of aspiring scholars artists and musicians

The Unit has developed and implemented Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures and Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting to immediately advance our recruitment and retention efforts Faculty are additionally implementing the EAB Campus Student Success Collaborative as an intrusive mode of student engagement Progress reports are generated throughout each semester for each student in each class under their instruction The impact of these innovations has been immediate as the Unit has exceeded its recruitment targets for the current year and expanded our first to second year retention rate to over 60

GOAL 3 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Scholarship Performance and Creative Activity

As is delineated within Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 the frequency and quality of performance seminars and recitals have doubled over the past two years Likewise Unit faculty creative activities have significantly increased as delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae

GOAL 4 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Service and Professional Development

As delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae Unit faculty service and professional development activities have significantly increased

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses In addition to the requirements of the students major field of study Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University The Liberal Studies Requirements are divided into two parts The General Core Requirements and the Integrative Studies Requirements

The previous 2006 Self-Study expressed legitimate concerns that the high credit hour requirement for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements consistently jeopardized new student recruitment efforts as well as placed additional burden on students matriculating through the Bachelor of Music degree program Two occurrences have mitigated those legitimate concerns and vastly improved the time-to-degree prospects for those students majoring in Music First the University has subsequently reviewed the Liberal Studies General Core and Integrative Studies Requirements and fully implemented the changes necessary to decrease those requirements for specific majors including Music

Second the university has mandated that all degree programs strictly adhere to a maximum of 120 credit hours for all baccalaureate degrees While this latter occurrence has necessitated critical curricular and experiential revisions they have required that the Unit approach threshold compliance from the perspective of meeting competencies through a variety on means and experiences as opposed to specifically designated courses Subsequent to the latter occurrence the Unit reorganized common courses within our degree options into a Music Core Curriculummdashwith instrumental keyboard and vocal major tracks

The implementation of various ldquoSpecializationsrdquo within the ldquoBachelor of Musicrdquo degree option represents a related by product of that curricular reorganization That strategy was

Page 17 of 60

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

IIA2 All Professional Baccalaureate Degrees in MusicmdashCommon Body of Knowledge and Skills Evaluation of the Development of Competencies

1 Performance

The Music Unit is committed to the highest possible standards in its performance areas Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi delineates various curricular and experiential processes that are designed to ensure threshold compliance with expected competencies The Music Theory Placement Examination and the Piano Placement Examination further delineated in the Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency are administered to determine the studentrsquos level of entry into the music theory and piano sequences respectively

General descriptions of the Unitrsquos performance evaluation policies and procedures are published in the Exhibit A1 Bachelor of Music KSU 2016 Catalogue pp157-158 and the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 Spec

All music majors are required to successfully complete applied performance courses and an accompanying performance laboratory each semester except for music education students during the semester in which they complete student teaching Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes fully informs all the Units performance curricula experiences and practices

Instrumental majors (wind brass percussion) must demonstrate mastery of the specific performance skills knowledge and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study

Page 18 of 60

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

4 History and Repertory

The Music Unit is committed to providing its students and the University community with a variety of musical experiences that are reflective of diverse stylistic historical and cultural traditions The Unit offers specific courses in music history and music literature that are designed to provide students with opportunities to study and examine such stylistic historical and cultural

Page 20 of 60

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

5 Synthesis

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

As such music majors at Kentucky State University demonstrate a synthesis of their musical study through numerous requirements and activities For example in the music theory sequence students must relate to music literature from a wide variety of musical periods and styles in several different ways historically analytically aurally and compositionally Moreover the Sophomore Proficiency applied music juries course examinations and Junior and Senior Recitals all provide opportunities to assess students abilities to synthesize their musical and educational experiences

IIA3 Teacher Education Programs

The Music Education Specialization is offered in conjunction with the School of Education Kentucky State Universityrsquos undergraduate Music Education program prepares prospective music teachers for the Kentucky teacher certification in music K-12 Students acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in pedagogy music theory musical performance history and literature to earn the Bachelor of Music Education credentials

The Unitrsquos process for selecting supervising and cooperating teachers and sites is dictated by standards and procedures established by the Education Professional Standards Board and delineated within Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching This administrative regulation describes the special requirements for certification that affect the teacher training program in music education and establishes the

Page 21 of 60

standards for admission placement and supervision in student teaching within the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The institutionrsquos educator preparation program selects clinical faculty member to serve as the University Supervisor according to the guidelines delineated within the Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching Cooperating teachers are teachers employed in a public school or a nonpublic school which meets the state performance standards as established in KRS 156160 or which has been accredited by a regional or national accrediting association who is contracting with an educator preparation institution to supervise a student teacher for the purpose of fulfilling the student teaching requirement of the approved educator preparation program The quality of cooperating schools remains high while the variety of placements is limited and primarily influenced by the requirements outlined immediately above

Music Education candidates must interact with school personnel and parents in tutorial assignments field and clinical experiences and supervised teaching The Music Unit ensures collaboration with the professional community through several initiatives Unit faculty members also collaborate with public school music educators in the provision of field and clinical experiences Additionally candidates collaborate with each other in completing and implementing various laboratory and course assignments

One of the significant aspects of the music education program is the low teacher-to-student ratio and the resulting high level of personal attention students receive With small classes professors are able to know each student especially regarding academic and musical strengths and weaknesses motivation and professional goals In such an environment aspects such as field activities are tailored to the needs of the individual student

One Music Unit faculty representative serves on the Teacher Education Committee and has primary responsibility to monitor the progress of Unit candidates The advisor is assigned one-quarter time to the education unit and advises music Education majors teaches methods of music courses and observes candidates in their supervised teaching As a member of the Teacher Education Committee and the education unit the advisor is informed about the performance of each candidate on all criteria in the Continuous Assessment Plan As a member of the music faculty the advisor is also informed about the progress of each candidate in satisfactorily completing the required music courses

As delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Music education candidates are well grounded in content knowledge displaying basic music competencies essential to teaching music in addition to a broad knowledge acquired through general studies Students are prohibited from concurrent enrollment during student teaching and Unit candidates complete a 12 credit hour dual placement at the primary and the secondary levels which include observation and practice of lesson planning classroom teaching classroom management and assessment of learning under the guidance of the supervising teacher and a university supervisor They additionally synthesize content theory

Page 36 of 60

A primary goal of the Music Unit is to provide courses and experiences in support of the institutionrsquos Liberal Studies Mission its unique diversity and heritage and the requirements of other academic units for service courses and the Unitrsquos efforts in this area meet and exceed institution-wide aspirations for developing positive values for music

Kentucky State University focuses on liberal studies programming in accordance with its mission and since music is an integral part of the traditional liberal arts curriculum the Music program is considered by Kentucky State University as an essential component of the Universitys mission The Unit provides the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree and a Minor option in Performance both of which are intended for the Kentucky State University student who wishes to study music within a liberal studies framework and use the degree as a foundation for a wide range of career options andor graduate study in music or other academic areas Of the twelve Liberal Studies-based general education learning outcomes required for all students the Music program directly addresses three

1) To recognize and value both the global diversity of cultures by study of Western and non-Western cultures and by study of foreign language and the multicultural nature of American society including the cultural contributions of African Americans (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 6)

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Numerous performances are sponsored by the Frankfort Arts Foundation Through a partnership with Kentucky State University the City of Frankfort Franklin County Fiscal Court and with the support of the Kentucky Arts Council local businesses patron and friends the Frankfort Arts Foundation (FAF) provides an average of some eight subscription concerts each year to the city with performances taking place in Bradford Hall of Kentucky State University The FAF also sponsors Artists in the Schools programs and community master classes This organization is instrumental in bringing a variety of high quality arts programming to the Frankfort community and University students Free admission is provided to students of Kentucky State University and Unit faculty members have and continue to provide their

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

Thorobred Band The vitality of these ensembles is evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

The size of the Music Unit although small is comparable to that of other universities of similar size and as delineated within Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors ndash Fall 2016 our enrollment of student majors has remained steady With the exception of a string specialist academic and applied disciplines are adequately addressed Despite limited operating resources the Music Unit is consistently able to advance its mission goals and objectives As is indicated by the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae Exhibit E3 Faculty Teaching Assignments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit A1 Faculty Kentucky State University 2016 Catalogue pp 554-564 the Unitrsquos faculty is academically well-prepared and committed to the delivery of a current quality curriculum that prepares its students for professional careers

The 1996 NASM self-study identified the need for additional classroom office practice and storage space and that need has yet to be fully addressed Even though additional space is needed the Unit continues to do remarkably well at creatively leveraging the current available space and resources toward the advancement of our program Exhibit B1 HEADS DATA SUMMARIES and Exhibit C1 Music Budget Trends provide additional datainformation as it regards affirming threshold compliance with the respective standards of these two sections

D Governance and Administration

The internal organization of the Music Unit and its relation to the institutional structure are indicated in the Exhibit D1 Organizational Chart and faculty governance and administrative responsibilities are clearly delineated within Exhibit D4 Governance and Administrative Responsibilities Consistent with the by-laws of the Board of Regents established University policies and procedures and the Constitution of the University Faculty Senate the Music Unit faculty maintains a vital role in the collegial governance of the University Through the Faculty Senate various committees councils and task forces the faculty approves curricular changes and makes recommendations to the administration in many other areas Copies of these policies and procedures are available in various University documents such as the Appendix 4 KSU Faculty Handbook 2011 and the Faculty Senate Constitution The faculty of the Music Unit holds regularly scheduled meetings In addition it meets in special general sessions on the call of the Provost the President or at the request of a number of its membership as prescribed by its rules Copies of the minutes of faculty meetings are provided to the President the Provost Nice President for Academic Affairs the secretary of the University Faculty Senate and each member of the Music Unit faculty Within the limits established by University policies and the Faculty Senate Constitution the faculty of the Music Unit determines the educational policies of the unit

Noticeably absent from this current organizational structure are the deanship levels that have been associated with this structure for the past self-study cycles which were eliminated in 2015 The music executiversquos responsibilities and authority are clearly articulated and delineated within the Exhibit D3 Chairpersonrsquos Job Description The elimination of the deanship administrative

Page 6 of 60

level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive and necessitated a streamlined and closer working relationship with upper level administrators which has been highly effective

While the Exhibit D5 Chairpersonrsquos Duties and Responsibilities clearly delineates the direct responsibilities as well as the respective methods of appointment and evaluation regarding the music executive it is highly unclear regarding the term of the chief music executive The communication policies and patterns within the Music Unit are consistent with those delineated within the institutionrsquos Exhibit D6 Communications Policy and are threshold compliant

The issue of clerical professional and technical support is a constant concern of the Music Unit The Unit shares one administrative secretary with the Areas of Art and SpeechCommunicationTheater and reports to the Chairperson of the Division of Fine Arts Not unlike the previously referenced impact of austere measures this component of the program is also impacted and the Unit has lost one principal secretary position since the last self-study of 2006 To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending Exhibit D7 Clerical Professional and Technical Support delineates the Music Unitrsquos clerical professional and technical support

Exhibit D8 Jointly Administered Programs delineates the Music Unitrsquos jointly administered program and the Unitrsquos collaboration with the institutionrsquos Teacher Education Program is threshold compliant

E Faculty and Staff

Perhaps the most obvious impact of necessary and continuing institutional austerity has been absorbed by Unit faculty lines The number of Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time (exclusive of the Music Executive) and 3 part-time positions Since the last Self Study the program has experienced the retirement and loss of longstanding and seasoned components of its faculty and as indicated by the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table we have attempted to replace those position lines in as creatively and effectively as possible The aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals remains appropriate to cover the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

Exhibit E1a Faculty Loading Guidelines delineates the Music Unitrsquos specific policies and procedures for calculating faculty loads which has proven highly effective in ensuring and maintaining the equity delineated within the Exhibit E3 Faculty Teaching Assignments

The facilitation of exemplary teaching and ample Professional Development opportunities are highly related standards and are foundations of the Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN Exhibit E1c Demonstration of Teaching Effectiveness Checklist and Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae provide additional datainformation as it regards threshold compliance with these respective standards

Page 7 of 60

Likewise Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion Exhibit E5 Policy on Compensation and Exhibit E6 Faculty Fringe Benefits offer supportive evidence of threshold compliance as it regards (1) the institutionrsquos published policies concerning appointment tenure and promotions for full-time and part-time faculty and (2) compensation increases in salary and fringe benefits

F Facilities Equipment Technology Health and Safety

The Music Unit is located in the west wing of Bradford Hall which is further and specifically detailed within Exhibit F1 Facilities

In addition to the Music Unit facilities Bradford Hall houses two performance hallsmdashBradford Hall Auditorium (900 capacity) and the Little Theatre (250 capacity)mdashas well as facilities in the buildings east wing for the School of Business Consequently there is heavy traffic in the building from students faculty staff and the community

The performance halls related facilities (stage shop green room and dressing rooms) and equipment (two concert grand pianos a 56 grand piano a Steiner pipe organ one upright pianos lighting risers etc) are used extensively by on- and off-campus groups for a variety of arts and non-arts eventsmdashincluding Music Unit large and small ensemble concerts student and faculty solo recitals the annual Middle School Band Workshop guest artist performances and Frankfort Arts Foundation concerts

While these performance halls and their utilization policies are sufficient for the purposes of the Unit this is not the case (when considering the mission goals and objectives of the Music Unit and its faculty) as all regard the general state of the Bradford Hall physical plant and future facilities and equipment needs Exhibit F1 Facilities provides specific recommendations that were proposed during the last Self-Study to address the facilities needs of the Music Unit which have yet to be fully addressed Those recommendations were developed in accordance with music instructional facilities guidelines published by MENCmdashThe National Association for Music Education To date the University administration continues to seek ways to address the facilities needs of the Music Unit and to ensure threshold compliance

Additionally Blazer Library houses the Music Listening Laboratory and compact disc sound recording collection as detailed in the following Section G Library and Learning Resources

H Recruitment AdmissionndashRetention Record Keeping and Advisement

The Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices are governed by and in accord with those of the University as delineated within Exhibit A1 Admissions Policy and Procedures KSU 2016 Cataloguepp21-26 p29 Additionally to insure ethical recruitment practices statewide the Kentucky Association of College Music Departments (KACMD) has established the following guidelines for accepting music scholarships at any public or private college or university in Kentucky

(1) Students accepting their awards are declaring their intent to attend the school making the offer

(2) Students may accept a music scholarship from only ONE member institution

(3) The written acceptance of music scholarships from more than one member institution signed after May 1 will result in the withdrawal of scholarship offers to the student by member institutions involved

(5) Awards may be offered and accepted only in written form Verbal commitments are not permissible and are not binding

(6) Upon accepting scholarships from a member institution students cannot be released from their commitment to that institution without written permission from the schools music executive

(7) Transferring students are ineligible for music scholarships at the new institution until the completion of one semester of full-time study unless specifically released in writing by the music executive of the original school

The Unitrsquos Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with these policies Furthermore both Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and Exhibit A2c KSU 2016-2020 Strategic Plan articulate clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories that are designed to offset the sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment experienced over the past five years Our efforts are additionally better facilitated through the Unitrsquos Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals

Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow facilitates our efforts to ensure that all prospect communications are in accord with the Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices and specific procedures and music unit standards used for prospect and student placements are delineated within Exhibit A1 Program Proficiency Expectations KSU 2016 Catalogue pp156-157

The Music Unit fully acknowledges sustaining an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both recruitment and retention and our respective efforts additionally acknowledge the critical role assumed by intrusive advisement strategies in reaching the Unitrsquos retention trajectories While Exhibit H3a KSU Centralized Advising Model delineates Kentucky State Universityrsquos procedures for student advisement the Music Unit has assumed a

Page 10 of 60

more intrusive model of advising and counseling through its Exhibit H3b DOFA Advising Handbook For example Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting ensures that every music major experiences a comprehensive review before the entire Unit faculty each semester of their matriculation In our pursuit of threshold compliance these reviews have been highly effective in (1) identifying specific threats to individual student success (2) acknowledging and reinforcing positive behaviors (3) counseling majors on preparing for careers and anticipating the continuation of studies and (4) facilitating continuous student focus on the valuable precepts necessary for student success

Exhibit H4 KSU Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures delineates the institutional policy and procedures for the submission processing and consideration of student complaints Exhibit H5 KSU Teacher Educator Preparation Program delineates specific guidelines and procedures for counseling students preparing to be elementarysecondary specialist music teachers and are threshold compliant

Exhibit H6 KSU Department of Music Advisee Folio Required Components delineates the mandatory and required components of each student folio which fully informs the Unitrsquos advising and counseling efforts Student data is updated continuously during each semester by Music faculty advisors who have real-time access via their office computers to student academic and financial records maintained on the Universitys student information system This process is threshold compliant and these data are contained in curriculum checklists which clearly specify graduation andor certification requirements and are included in each music majors folio along with a current transcript and other documents pertaining to their academic progress Students repertory studied and performances are recorded at the end of each semester on the Applied Music Record form Faculty members have immediate access to most student records via their personal computers

Digital recording resources are in place in Bradford Hall Auditorium nevertheless no policy is in place to require the recording and maintenance of audio andor video tape recordings for an archival record of a students performance of the junior or senior recital Any audio andor video recording that takes place is usually effected through the efforts of the individual applied instructors or the student

Finally the specific means of assessing our progress on these critical issues are delineated within Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan and specifically detailed below in Section N of the Self-Study

N Evaluation Planning and Projections

The review and evaluation of the Music Unitrsquos current activities and planning to effect needed changes are the primary responsibility of the administrator of the Music Unit (Division of Fine Arts Chairperson) and involve all music faculty and the upper level administrators to whom the Chairperson reports Major structures and activities which provide planning projection of data and threshold compliance are the Music Unit Committee Structure and the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty which includes student evaluations of the music curricular experiences

The music faculty meeting represents the most critical component of the unit structure These meetings occur on an average of two or three times a month On a less regular basis the unit undergoes periodic assessment by outside agencies (such as SACS NASM NCATE) or external evaluators such as the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Educationrsquos Appendix 2 CPE Program Review-Music 2013 and Appendix 9 CPE Program Review -Music-2015 As previously noted within this Self-Study six of the Unitrsquos faculty have been appointed within the last two years and the Music executive ensures familiarity and compliance with these critical expectations through the Appendix 10 Faculty Responsibilities- Expectations And Compliance Policies and the Appendix 8 The Implementation of a Pre-tenure Mentorship and Advisory Council

Music Unit committees report to the Chairperson and to the Unit Faculty The Unit Curriculum Committee and Tenure and Promotion Committee make recommendations through the Chairperson and the Provost to the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee and to the University Tenure and Promotion Committee respectively The activities of these two committees are governed by University policies the Curriculum Committee by the Faculty Senate Constitution and the Tenure and Promotion Committee by Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion

Page 13 of 60

Unit faculty members meeting as a committee of the whole debate and make decisions in areas such as the academic program recruitment of students planning events and so forth Specific issues are advanced and discussed and the entire faculty always participates in major projects or initiatives such as this or any other self-study In other areas individual faculty members assist the chairperson with specific assignments On the whole our discussion of issues include the current status and the specific factors contributing to that status (evaluation) the necessary changes to bring about the desired future improvements (planning) and the metrics and trajectories that will demonstrate the attainment of those improvements (projections)

The evaluation of student achievement is facilitated in several ways which are further delineated within Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 and especially most recently Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 The Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination recitals keyboard proficiency assessments and Unit juries provide data on knowledge and skills acquired in music Surveys of graduates provide additional information on the relationship between quality of instruction and the music curriculum with success in post-graduate employment Correlation of these data and data from external evaluations are conducted by the Music executive Such overall assessments are generally presented to the music faculty acting as a committee of the whole These data become the basis for future planning

The main opportunity available to the Unitrsquos students to formally evaluate their curricular experiences is the Student Evaluation of Instruction which is further detailed on the next page of the Self-Study Additionally the evaluation of Unit faculty is facilitated by the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty and the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks

The Music Unit is guided by a newly (2015) developed Strategic Plan that embraces KSUrsquos rich history traditions and diversity in preparing our students for careers as practicing artists educators and performers Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan are provided as evidence of the Unitrsquos efforts and threshold compliance with the standards of this section of the Self-Study

The Music executive aggressively engaged all key stakeholders in a yearlong pursuit of the present long-term strategic plan That involvement was pursued in a critical effort to articulate and capture perceptual data from all key stakeholders ie our students faculty staff and alumni as they regard perceived Unit strengths weaknesses threats and opportunities We engaged our key stakeholders in this process since the efficacy of these efforts remain highly dependent on programmatic ownership

SWOT Analyses commenced in September of 2014 when formal surveys were administered to all key stakeholders seeking their vital perceptions and opinions The item responses of those surveys were tabulated commentary was aggregated and specific thematic trends were identified The Music executive pursued a yearlong period of observations in an effort to either validate or invalidate the themes that arose from the environmental scan The

Page 14 of 60

thematic trends that were validated through direct observation subsequently fully informed the construction and development of specific Goals Objectives and Strategic Priorities

The resulting Strategic Plan evolved from the unique value and positioning of Kentucky State University and the Music Unit moves to marketing communication and exemplary engagement as recruitment and retention mechanisms and finally addresses longstanding programmatic issues We view this as an integrated approach starting with each individual associated with the Unit and ending with a systematic view of all functions that make up the Unit and its programs

Our immediate vision has been aligned with the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks and seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices The Unit is additionally pursuing programmatic and curricular revisions which will maximize efficiency in matriculation and time-to-degree while expanding the latitude of options for meeting student competencies and proficiencies within the context of current accreditations Whether through presentations such as concerts recitals productions exhibitions lectures or workshops our global focus seeks to advance an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

Provided immediately below are the resulting Unit Goals with selective assessment commentary on the Unitrsquos current progress

GOAL 1 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Teaching Learning and Assessment

Unit faculty pursued the exhaustive development of Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes These outcomes are designed to better document the Unitrsquos evaluation of student achievement and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are aligned with the essential student competencies articulated by NASM NCATE and the institutional Appendix 11 Liberal Studies Core Essential Competencies

Unit faculty are subsequently utilizing Blackboard and Live Text to implement appropriate assessment modules as a means of assessing student achievement as it regards our SLOs and which are delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Faculty document the development and implementation of at least one major assessment project for each course of instruction and disseminate those assessments within the Annual Self Evaluation Form SES 1

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit I1 Music at Kentucky State University Website Unit faculty have significantly infused global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices a primary theme that resulted from our SWOT analyses We have implemented three additional Commercial ensembles and revitalized our elective courses in Jazz and African American Music

Page 15 of 60

Finally regarding Student Evaluations of Instruction the Unit has this year abandoned the more traditional opinion survey and migrated to the use of the IDEA assessment systems This change resulted from our observation that the previous survey instrument did little to measure teaching effectiveness nor to advance the improvement of instruction Exhibit E7 An Analysis and Critique of the Methods of Student Evaluation of Faculty pp 1-3 clearly delineates our rationale for doing so Moreover the primary benefit of this platform is that it requires the alignment of all questions or inquiries with specific student learning goals that are identified by each individual faculty member

GOAL 2 Implement intrusive recruitment strategies that will ensure a representative community of aspiring scholars artists and musicians

The Unit has developed and implemented Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures and Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting to immediately advance our recruitment and retention efforts Faculty are additionally implementing the EAB Campus Student Success Collaborative as an intrusive mode of student engagement Progress reports are generated throughout each semester for each student in each class under their instruction The impact of these innovations has been immediate as the Unit has exceeded its recruitment targets for the current year and expanded our first to second year retention rate to over 60

GOAL 3 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Scholarship Performance and Creative Activity

As is delineated within Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 the frequency and quality of performance seminars and recitals have doubled over the past two years Likewise Unit faculty creative activities have significantly increased as delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae

GOAL 4 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Service and Professional Development

As delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae Unit faculty service and professional development activities have significantly increased

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses In addition to the requirements of the students major field of study Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University The Liberal Studies Requirements are divided into two parts The General Core Requirements and the Integrative Studies Requirements

The previous 2006 Self-Study expressed legitimate concerns that the high credit hour requirement for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements consistently jeopardized new student recruitment efforts as well as placed additional burden on students matriculating through the Bachelor of Music degree program Two occurrences have mitigated those legitimate concerns and vastly improved the time-to-degree prospects for those students majoring in Music First the University has subsequently reviewed the Liberal Studies General Core and Integrative Studies Requirements and fully implemented the changes necessary to decrease those requirements for specific majors including Music

Second the university has mandated that all degree programs strictly adhere to a maximum of 120 credit hours for all baccalaureate degrees While this latter occurrence has necessitated critical curricular and experiential revisions they have required that the Unit approach threshold compliance from the perspective of meeting competencies through a variety on means and experiences as opposed to specifically designated courses Subsequent to the latter occurrence the Unit reorganized common courses within our degree options into a Music Core Curriculummdashwith instrumental keyboard and vocal major tracks

The implementation of various ldquoSpecializationsrdquo within the ldquoBachelor of Musicrdquo degree option represents a related by product of that curricular reorganization That strategy was

Page 17 of 60

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

All music majors are required to successfully complete applied performance courses and an accompanying performance laboratory each semester except for music education students during the semester in which they complete student teaching Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes fully informs all the Units performance curricula experiences and practices

Instrumental majors (wind brass percussion) must demonstrate mastery of the specific performance skills knowledge and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study

Page 18 of 60

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

4 History and Repertory

The Music Unit is committed to providing its students and the University community with a variety of musical experiences that are reflective of diverse stylistic historical and cultural traditions The Unit offers specific courses in music history and music literature that are designed to provide students with opportunities to study and examine such stylistic historical and cultural

Page 20 of 60

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

5 Synthesis

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

As such music majors at Kentucky State University demonstrate a synthesis of their musical study through numerous requirements and activities For example in the music theory sequence students must relate to music literature from a wide variety of musical periods and styles in several different ways historically analytically aurally and compositionally Moreover the Sophomore Proficiency applied music juries course examinations and Junior and Senior Recitals all provide opportunities to assess students abilities to synthesize their musical and educational experiences

IIA3 Teacher Education Programs

The Music Education Specialization is offered in conjunction with the School of Education Kentucky State Universityrsquos undergraduate Music Education program prepares prospective music teachers for the Kentucky teacher certification in music K-12 Students acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in pedagogy music theory musical performance history and literature to earn the Bachelor of Music Education credentials

The Unitrsquos process for selecting supervising and cooperating teachers and sites is dictated by standards and procedures established by the Education Professional Standards Board and delineated within Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching This administrative regulation describes the special requirements for certification that affect the teacher training program in music education and establishes the

Page 21 of 60

standards for admission placement and supervision in student teaching within the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The institutionrsquos educator preparation program selects clinical faculty member to serve as the University Supervisor according to the guidelines delineated within the Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching Cooperating teachers are teachers employed in a public school or a nonpublic school which meets the state performance standards as established in KRS 156160 or which has been accredited by a regional or national accrediting association who is contracting with an educator preparation institution to supervise a student teacher for the purpose of fulfilling the student teaching requirement of the approved educator preparation program The quality of cooperating schools remains high while the variety of placements is limited and primarily influenced by the requirements outlined immediately above

Music Education candidates must interact with school personnel and parents in tutorial assignments field and clinical experiences and supervised teaching The Music Unit ensures collaboration with the professional community through several initiatives Unit faculty members also collaborate with public school music educators in the provision of field and clinical experiences Additionally candidates collaborate with each other in completing and implementing various laboratory and course assignments

One of the significant aspects of the music education program is the low teacher-to-student ratio and the resulting high level of personal attention students receive With small classes professors are able to know each student especially regarding academic and musical strengths and weaknesses motivation and professional goals In such an environment aspects such as field activities are tailored to the needs of the individual student

One Music Unit faculty representative serves on the Teacher Education Committee and has primary responsibility to monitor the progress of Unit candidates The advisor is assigned one-quarter time to the education unit and advises music Education majors teaches methods of music courses and observes candidates in their supervised teaching As a member of the Teacher Education Committee and the education unit the advisor is informed about the performance of each candidate on all criteria in the Continuous Assessment Plan As a member of the music faculty the advisor is also informed about the progress of each candidate in satisfactorily completing the required music courses

As delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Music education candidates are well grounded in content knowledge displaying basic music competencies essential to teaching music in addition to a broad knowledge acquired through general studies Students are prohibited from concurrent enrollment during student teaching and Unit candidates complete a 12 credit hour dual placement at the primary and the secondary levels which include observation and practice of lesson planning classroom teaching classroom management and assessment of learning under the guidance of the supervising teacher and a university supervisor They additionally synthesize content theory

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive and necessitated a streamlined and closer working relationship with upper level administrators which has been highly effective

While the Exhibit D5 Chairpersonrsquos Duties and Responsibilities clearly delineates the direct responsibilities as well as the respective methods of appointment and evaluation regarding the music executive it is highly unclear regarding the term of the chief music executive The communication policies and patterns within the Music Unit are consistent with those delineated within the institutionrsquos Exhibit D6 Communications Policy and are threshold compliant

The issue of clerical professional and technical support is a constant concern of the Music Unit The Unit shares one administrative secretary with the Areas of Art and SpeechCommunicationTheater and reports to the Chairperson of the Division of Fine Arts Not unlike the previously referenced impact of austere measures this component of the program is also impacted and the Unit has lost one principal secretary position since the last self-study of 2006 To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending Exhibit D7 Clerical Professional and Technical Support delineates the Music Unitrsquos clerical professional and technical support

Exhibit D8 Jointly Administered Programs delineates the Music Unitrsquos jointly administered program and the Unitrsquos collaboration with the institutionrsquos Teacher Education Program is threshold compliant

E Faculty and Staff

Perhaps the most obvious impact of necessary and continuing institutional austerity has been absorbed by Unit faculty lines The number of Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time (exclusive of the Music Executive) and 3 part-time positions Since the last Self Study the program has experienced the retirement and loss of longstanding and seasoned components of its faculty and as indicated by the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table we have attempted to replace those position lines in as creatively and effectively as possible The aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals remains appropriate to cover the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

Exhibit E1a Faculty Loading Guidelines delineates the Music Unitrsquos specific policies and procedures for calculating faculty loads which has proven highly effective in ensuring and maintaining the equity delineated within the Exhibit E3 Faculty Teaching Assignments

The facilitation of exemplary teaching and ample Professional Development opportunities are highly related standards and are foundations of the Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN Exhibit E1c Demonstration of Teaching Effectiveness Checklist and Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae provide additional datainformation as it regards threshold compliance with these respective standards

Page 7 of 60

Likewise Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion Exhibit E5 Policy on Compensation and Exhibit E6 Faculty Fringe Benefits offer supportive evidence of threshold compliance as it regards (1) the institutionrsquos published policies concerning appointment tenure and promotions for full-time and part-time faculty and (2) compensation increases in salary and fringe benefits

F Facilities Equipment Technology Health and Safety

The Music Unit is located in the west wing of Bradford Hall which is further and specifically detailed within Exhibit F1 Facilities

In addition to the Music Unit facilities Bradford Hall houses two performance hallsmdashBradford Hall Auditorium (900 capacity) and the Little Theatre (250 capacity)mdashas well as facilities in the buildings east wing for the School of Business Consequently there is heavy traffic in the building from students faculty staff and the community

The performance halls related facilities (stage shop green room and dressing rooms) and equipment (two concert grand pianos a 56 grand piano a Steiner pipe organ one upright pianos lighting risers etc) are used extensively by on- and off-campus groups for a variety of arts and non-arts eventsmdashincluding Music Unit large and small ensemble concerts student and faculty solo recitals the annual Middle School Band Workshop guest artist performances and Frankfort Arts Foundation concerts

While these performance halls and their utilization policies are sufficient for the purposes of the Unit this is not the case (when considering the mission goals and objectives of the Music Unit and its faculty) as all regard the general state of the Bradford Hall physical plant and future facilities and equipment needs Exhibit F1 Facilities provides specific recommendations that were proposed during the last Self-Study to address the facilities needs of the Music Unit which have yet to be fully addressed Those recommendations were developed in accordance with music instructional facilities guidelines published by MENCmdashThe National Association for Music Education To date the University administration continues to seek ways to address the facilities needs of the Music Unit and to ensure threshold compliance

Additionally Blazer Library houses the Music Listening Laboratory and compact disc sound recording collection as detailed in the following Section G Library and Learning Resources

Exhibit F2 Comprehensive Music Inventory delineates the Music Unitrsquos current inventory of equipment and technology for music as required by the institution While that inventory has well-served the Unit Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements further delineates critical enhancements that have been proposed for expanding the Unitrsquos technology and curricular capabilities and ensuring threshold compliance

Page 8 of 60

Kentucky State University maintains a 24-hour Police Department to provide security for the campus Officers duties include the monitoring of Bradford Hall and maintaining its general security Additionally faculty and staff are accountable to the extent possible for the security of the specific areas under their direct control to avoid thefts of equipment and vandalism

The Division of Fine Arts Chairperson (the Music Executive) Campus Police and University Facilities Management officials continue to monitor and address security and safety issues Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp5-6 delineates the Music Unitrsquos means for informing students and others regarding health and safety issues hazards and procedures inherent to practice performance teaching and listening both in general and as applicable to their specialization Recent key stakeholders survey results regarding hazards health and safety issues indicate that this strategy is meeting with mixed results regarding threshold compliance

G Library and Learning Resources

The Music Unit does not maintain a music library separate from the campus library However the Unit does have access to the library learning and information resources necessary to fulfill its mission goals and objectives which are appropriate for the size and scope of its operations and threshold compliance

Exhibit G1a Narrative clearly delineates the operational standards governance and administration collections development personnel services access facilities and finances associated with the Paul G Blazer Library in accordance with University policy approved by the Board of Regents

The Paul G Blazer Library music collections learning and information resources and listening accommodations are delineated within Exhibit G1b Comprehensive Holdings Exhibit G1d Music Periodicals Exhibit G1e Music Scores Exhibit G1f Music Titles and Exhibit G1c Music Listening Lab respectively

The Music Unit additionally maintains the Music Technology Laboratory (BH-G8) which accommodates structured listening activities As previously discussed above Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements delineates those critical enhancements of the Laboratory deemed necessary to bring the facility to threshold compliance Finally the operational policies and procedures for access are appropriate to the needs of the Unitrsquos students and faculty and are delineated within Exhibit G1g Music Technology Lab Policies

H Recruitment AdmissionndashRetention Record Keeping and Advisement

The Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices are governed by and in accord with those of the University as delineated within Exhibit A1 Admissions Policy and Procedures KSU 2016 Cataloguepp21-26 p29 Additionally to insure ethical recruitment practices statewide the Kentucky Association of College Music Departments (KACMD) has established the following guidelines for accepting music scholarships at any public or private college or university in Kentucky

(1) Students accepting their awards are declaring their intent to attend the school making the offer

(2) Students may accept a music scholarship from only ONE member institution

(3) The written acceptance of music scholarships from more than one member institution signed after May 1 will result in the withdrawal of scholarship offers to the student by member institutions involved

(5) Awards may be offered and accepted only in written form Verbal commitments are not permissible and are not binding

(6) Upon accepting scholarships from a member institution students cannot be released from their commitment to that institution without written permission from the schools music executive

(7) Transferring students are ineligible for music scholarships at the new institution until the completion of one semester of full-time study unless specifically released in writing by the music executive of the original school

The Unitrsquos Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with these policies Furthermore both Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and Exhibit A2c KSU 2016-2020 Strategic Plan articulate clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories that are designed to offset the sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment experienced over the past five years Our efforts are additionally better facilitated through the Unitrsquos Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals

Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow facilitates our efforts to ensure that all prospect communications are in accord with the Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices and specific procedures and music unit standards used for prospect and student placements are delineated within Exhibit A1 Program Proficiency Expectations KSU 2016 Catalogue pp156-157

The Music Unit fully acknowledges sustaining an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both recruitment and retention and our respective efforts additionally acknowledge the critical role assumed by intrusive advisement strategies in reaching the Unitrsquos retention trajectories While Exhibit H3a KSU Centralized Advising Model delineates Kentucky State Universityrsquos procedures for student advisement the Music Unit has assumed a

Page 10 of 60

more intrusive model of advising and counseling through its Exhibit H3b DOFA Advising Handbook For example Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting ensures that every music major experiences a comprehensive review before the entire Unit faculty each semester of their matriculation In our pursuit of threshold compliance these reviews have been highly effective in (1) identifying specific threats to individual student success (2) acknowledging and reinforcing positive behaviors (3) counseling majors on preparing for careers and anticipating the continuation of studies and (4) facilitating continuous student focus on the valuable precepts necessary for student success

Exhibit H4 KSU Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures delineates the institutional policy and procedures for the submission processing and consideration of student complaints Exhibit H5 KSU Teacher Educator Preparation Program delineates specific guidelines and procedures for counseling students preparing to be elementarysecondary specialist music teachers and are threshold compliant

Exhibit H6 KSU Department of Music Advisee Folio Required Components delineates the mandatory and required components of each student folio which fully informs the Unitrsquos advising and counseling efforts Student data is updated continuously during each semester by Music faculty advisors who have real-time access via their office computers to student academic and financial records maintained on the Universitys student information system This process is threshold compliant and these data are contained in curriculum checklists which clearly specify graduation andor certification requirements and are included in each music majors folio along with a current transcript and other documents pertaining to their academic progress Students repertory studied and performances are recorded at the end of each semester on the Applied Music Record form Faculty members have immediate access to most student records via their personal computers

Digital recording resources are in place in Bradford Hall Auditorium nevertheless no policy is in place to require the recording and maintenance of audio andor video tape recordings for an archival record of a students performance of the junior or senior recital Any audio andor video recording that takes place is usually effected through the efforts of the individual applied instructors or the student

Finally the specific means of assessing our progress on these critical issues are delineated within Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan and specifically detailed below in Section N of the Self-Study

I Published Materials and Web Sites

The institution and the Music Unit ensure threshold compliance in all of its published materials Those materials are clear detailed accurate and readily available

Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue Appendix 3 KSU Student Handbook and Appendix 4 KSU Faculty Handbook 2011 represent the primary repositories of the institution and the Unitrsquos policies and procedures and those publications are cited throughout this document in providing evidence of threshold compliance with respective standards

Likewise the Kentucky State University website provides online portable document format files calendars and other accessible information of interest Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit delineates the various accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates Promotional materials associated with the student recruitment process provided by the Office of Admissions are comparable in content and format to those of the other state-supported and private colleges and universities in Kentucky The Music executive has secured permission to directly control and revise the contents of the Unitrsquos website which has resulted in critical updates and enhancements such as Exhibit J2 Echoes Our Online Newsletter The Music Unit continuously updates the contents and information contained within those materials as well within the University website

A comprehensive listing with appropriate exhibit links of all relevant materials are included within Section IV the Management Documents Portfolio Contents Table of this Self-Study as Section I Published Materials and Website and are threshold compliant

K Community Involvement

The Music Unit maintains a documented commitment to the cultural enrichment of the Frankfort community and the University service area counties For example the Unitrsquos Exhibit J3 The Keys to the Community Project and Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation

Threshold compliance is advanced through the Unitrsquos Arts in Education initiative where ensembles such as the Marching Thorobred Band Jazz Ensemble our new Commercial Music Ensemble Concert Choir Show Choir and Gospel Ensemble regularly perform for University public schools and community events and the OperaMusical Theater Workshop has presented numerous performances of operas and opera scenes for area public schools Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdashwas established to create musical awareness in young children enrich their self-esteem enhance their social skills and reinforce basic literacy skills

N Evaluation Planning and Projections

The review and evaluation of the Music Unitrsquos current activities and planning to effect needed changes are the primary responsibility of the administrator of the Music Unit (Division of Fine Arts Chairperson) and involve all music faculty and the upper level administrators to whom the Chairperson reports Major structures and activities which provide planning projection of data and threshold compliance are the Music Unit Committee Structure and the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty which includes student evaluations of the music curricular experiences

The music faculty meeting represents the most critical component of the unit structure These meetings occur on an average of two or three times a month On a less regular basis the unit undergoes periodic assessment by outside agencies (such as SACS NASM NCATE) or external evaluators such as the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Educationrsquos Appendix 2 CPE Program Review-Music 2013 and Appendix 9 CPE Program Review -Music-2015 As previously noted within this Self-Study six of the Unitrsquos faculty have been appointed within the last two years and the Music executive ensures familiarity and compliance with these critical expectations through the Appendix 10 Faculty Responsibilities- Expectations And Compliance Policies and the Appendix 8 The Implementation of a Pre-tenure Mentorship and Advisory Council

Music Unit committees report to the Chairperson and to the Unit Faculty The Unit Curriculum Committee and Tenure and Promotion Committee make recommendations through the Chairperson and the Provost to the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee and to the University Tenure and Promotion Committee respectively The activities of these two committees are governed by University policies the Curriculum Committee by the Faculty Senate Constitution and the Tenure and Promotion Committee by Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion

Page 13 of 60

Unit faculty members meeting as a committee of the whole debate and make decisions in areas such as the academic program recruitment of students planning events and so forth Specific issues are advanced and discussed and the entire faculty always participates in major projects or initiatives such as this or any other self-study In other areas individual faculty members assist the chairperson with specific assignments On the whole our discussion of issues include the current status and the specific factors contributing to that status (evaluation) the necessary changes to bring about the desired future improvements (planning) and the metrics and trajectories that will demonstrate the attainment of those improvements (projections)

The evaluation of student achievement is facilitated in several ways which are further delineated within Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 and especially most recently Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 The Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination recitals keyboard proficiency assessments and Unit juries provide data on knowledge and skills acquired in music Surveys of graduates provide additional information on the relationship between quality of instruction and the music curriculum with success in post-graduate employment Correlation of these data and data from external evaluations are conducted by the Music executive Such overall assessments are generally presented to the music faculty acting as a committee of the whole These data become the basis for future planning

The main opportunity available to the Unitrsquos students to formally evaluate their curricular experiences is the Student Evaluation of Instruction which is further detailed on the next page of the Self-Study Additionally the evaluation of Unit faculty is facilitated by the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty and the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks

The Music Unit is guided by a newly (2015) developed Strategic Plan that embraces KSUrsquos rich history traditions and diversity in preparing our students for careers as practicing artists educators and performers Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan are provided as evidence of the Unitrsquos efforts and threshold compliance with the standards of this section of the Self-Study

The Music executive aggressively engaged all key stakeholders in a yearlong pursuit of the present long-term strategic plan That involvement was pursued in a critical effort to articulate and capture perceptual data from all key stakeholders ie our students faculty staff and alumni as they regard perceived Unit strengths weaknesses threats and opportunities We engaged our key stakeholders in this process since the efficacy of these efforts remain highly dependent on programmatic ownership

SWOT Analyses commenced in September of 2014 when formal surveys were administered to all key stakeholders seeking their vital perceptions and opinions The item responses of those surveys were tabulated commentary was aggregated and specific thematic trends were identified The Music executive pursued a yearlong period of observations in an effort to either validate or invalidate the themes that arose from the environmental scan The

Page 14 of 60

thematic trends that were validated through direct observation subsequently fully informed the construction and development of specific Goals Objectives and Strategic Priorities

The resulting Strategic Plan evolved from the unique value and positioning of Kentucky State University and the Music Unit moves to marketing communication and exemplary engagement as recruitment and retention mechanisms and finally addresses longstanding programmatic issues We view this as an integrated approach starting with each individual associated with the Unit and ending with a systematic view of all functions that make up the Unit and its programs

Our immediate vision has been aligned with the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks and seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices The Unit is additionally pursuing programmatic and curricular revisions which will maximize efficiency in matriculation and time-to-degree while expanding the latitude of options for meeting student competencies and proficiencies within the context of current accreditations Whether through presentations such as concerts recitals productions exhibitions lectures or workshops our global focus seeks to advance an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

Provided immediately below are the resulting Unit Goals with selective assessment commentary on the Unitrsquos current progress

GOAL 1 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Teaching Learning and Assessment

Unit faculty pursued the exhaustive development of Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes These outcomes are designed to better document the Unitrsquos evaluation of student achievement and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are aligned with the essential student competencies articulated by NASM NCATE and the institutional Appendix 11 Liberal Studies Core Essential Competencies

Unit faculty are subsequently utilizing Blackboard and Live Text to implement appropriate assessment modules as a means of assessing student achievement as it regards our SLOs and which are delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Faculty document the development and implementation of at least one major assessment project for each course of instruction and disseminate those assessments within the Annual Self Evaluation Form SES 1

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit I1 Music at Kentucky State University Website Unit faculty have significantly infused global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices a primary theme that resulted from our SWOT analyses We have implemented three additional Commercial ensembles and revitalized our elective courses in Jazz and African American Music

Page 15 of 60

Finally regarding Student Evaluations of Instruction the Unit has this year abandoned the more traditional opinion survey and migrated to the use of the IDEA assessment systems This change resulted from our observation that the previous survey instrument did little to measure teaching effectiveness nor to advance the improvement of instruction Exhibit E7 An Analysis and Critique of the Methods of Student Evaluation of Faculty pp 1-3 clearly delineates our rationale for doing so Moreover the primary benefit of this platform is that it requires the alignment of all questions or inquiries with specific student learning goals that are identified by each individual faculty member

GOAL 2 Implement intrusive recruitment strategies that will ensure a representative community of aspiring scholars artists and musicians

The Unit has developed and implemented Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures and Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting to immediately advance our recruitment and retention efforts Faculty are additionally implementing the EAB Campus Student Success Collaborative as an intrusive mode of student engagement Progress reports are generated throughout each semester for each student in each class under their instruction The impact of these innovations has been immediate as the Unit has exceeded its recruitment targets for the current year and expanded our first to second year retention rate to over 60

GOAL 3 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Scholarship Performance and Creative Activity

As is delineated within Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 the frequency and quality of performance seminars and recitals have doubled over the past two years Likewise Unit faculty creative activities have significantly increased as delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae

GOAL 4 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Service and Professional Development

As delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae Unit faculty service and professional development activities have significantly increased

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses In addition to the requirements of the students major field of study Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University The Liberal Studies Requirements are divided into two parts The General Core Requirements and the Integrative Studies Requirements

The previous 2006 Self-Study expressed legitimate concerns that the high credit hour requirement for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements consistently jeopardized new student recruitment efforts as well as placed additional burden on students matriculating through the Bachelor of Music degree program Two occurrences have mitigated those legitimate concerns and vastly improved the time-to-degree prospects for those students majoring in Music First the University has subsequently reviewed the Liberal Studies General Core and Integrative Studies Requirements and fully implemented the changes necessary to decrease those requirements for specific majors including Music

Second the university has mandated that all degree programs strictly adhere to a maximum of 120 credit hours for all baccalaureate degrees While this latter occurrence has necessitated critical curricular and experiential revisions they have required that the Unit approach threshold compliance from the perspective of meeting competencies through a variety on means and experiences as opposed to specifically designated courses Subsequent to the latter occurrence the Unit reorganized common courses within our degree options into a Music Core Curriculummdashwith instrumental keyboard and vocal major tracks

The implementation of various ldquoSpecializationsrdquo within the ldquoBachelor of Musicrdquo degree option represents a related by product of that curricular reorganization That strategy was

Page 17 of 60

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

One semester credit hour generally represents one clock hour of recitation or lecture or two clock hours of laboratory per week for one semester for most University courses Credit requirements for music coursesmdashMUA Music Applied MUC MusicClass Instruction MUE Music Education MUP Music Performance Ensemble and MUS Music are in accordance with NASM standards and are published in the Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue pp 407-417 In granting course credit to transfer students Kentucky State University maintains academic policies that assure that the overall educational experiences of transferring students are equivalent in quality and content to those provided by KSU and these policies are published in the Exhibit A1 Transfer Policies KSU 2016 Catalogue p57

1 Performance

The Music Unit is committed to the highest possible standards in its performance areas Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi delineates various curricular and experiential processes that are designed to ensure threshold compliance with expected competencies The Music Theory Placement Examination and the Piano Placement Examination further delineated in the Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency are administered to determine the studentrsquos level of entry into the music theory and piano sequences respectively

General descriptions of the Unitrsquos performance evaluation policies and procedures are published in the Exhibit A1 Bachelor of Music KSU 2016 Catalogue pp157-158 and the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 Spec

All music majors are required to successfully complete applied performance courses and an accompanying performance laboratory each semester except for music education students during the semester in which they complete student teaching Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes fully informs all the Units performance curricula experiences and practices

Instrumental majors (wind brass percussion) must demonstrate mastery of the specific performance skills knowledge and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study

Page 18 of 60

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

4 History and Repertory

The Music Unit is committed to providing its students and the University community with a variety of musical experiences that are reflective of diverse stylistic historical and cultural traditions The Unit offers specific courses in music history and music literature that are designed to provide students with opportunities to study and examine such stylistic historical and cultural

Page 20 of 60

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

5 Synthesis

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

As such music majors at Kentucky State University demonstrate a synthesis of their musical study through numerous requirements and activities For example in the music theory sequence students must relate to music literature from a wide variety of musical periods and styles in several different ways historically analytically aurally and compositionally Moreover the Sophomore Proficiency applied music juries course examinations and Junior and Senior Recitals all provide opportunities to assess students abilities to synthesize their musical and educational experiences

IIA3 Teacher Education Programs

The Music Education Specialization is offered in conjunction with the School of Education Kentucky State Universityrsquos undergraduate Music Education program prepares prospective music teachers for the Kentucky teacher certification in music K-12 Students acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in pedagogy music theory musical performance history and literature to earn the Bachelor of Music Education credentials

The Unitrsquos process for selecting supervising and cooperating teachers and sites is dictated by standards and procedures established by the Education Professional Standards Board and delineated within Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching This administrative regulation describes the special requirements for certification that affect the teacher training program in music education and establishes the

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Most of the Music Units student body maintain better than a C average in all required music courses (with some exceptions that are detailed below) and upon reaching the appropriate level most have successfully completed the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination the Keyboard Proficiency Examination and their Applied Music Juries Additionally most students who have reached that level have successfully completed and performed their Junior andor Senior Recitals demonstrating a synthesis of their music study at the University Those students who have graduated and applied to graduate schools have generally been admitted without experiencing any difficulties or deficiencies

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

Likewise Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion Exhibit E5 Policy on Compensation and Exhibit E6 Faculty Fringe Benefits offer supportive evidence of threshold compliance as it regards (1) the institutionrsquos published policies concerning appointment tenure and promotions for full-time and part-time faculty and (2) compensation increases in salary and fringe benefits

F Facilities Equipment Technology Health and Safety

The Music Unit is located in the west wing of Bradford Hall which is further and specifically detailed within Exhibit F1 Facilities

In addition to the Music Unit facilities Bradford Hall houses two performance hallsmdashBradford Hall Auditorium (900 capacity) and the Little Theatre (250 capacity)mdashas well as facilities in the buildings east wing for the School of Business Consequently there is heavy traffic in the building from students faculty staff and the community

The performance halls related facilities (stage shop green room and dressing rooms) and equipment (two concert grand pianos a 56 grand piano a Steiner pipe organ one upright pianos lighting risers etc) are used extensively by on- and off-campus groups for a variety of arts and non-arts eventsmdashincluding Music Unit large and small ensemble concerts student and faculty solo recitals the annual Middle School Band Workshop guest artist performances and Frankfort Arts Foundation concerts

While these performance halls and their utilization policies are sufficient for the purposes of the Unit this is not the case (when considering the mission goals and objectives of the Music Unit and its faculty) as all regard the general state of the Bradford Hall physical plant and future facilities and equipment needs Exhibit F1 Facilities provides specific recommendations that were proposed during the last Self-Study to address the facilities needs of the Music Unit which have yet to be fully addressed Those recommendations were developed in accordance with music instructional facilities guidelines published by MENCmdashThe National Association for Music Education To date the University administration continues to seek ways to address the facilities needs of the Music Unit and to ensure threshold compliance

Additionally Blazer Library houses the Music Listening Laboratory and compact disc sound recording collection as detailed in the following Section G Library and Learning Resources

Exhibit F2 Comprehensive Music Inventory delineates the Music Unitrsquos current inventory of equipment and technology for music as required by the institution While that inventory has well-served the Unit Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements further delineates critical enhancements that have been proposed for expanding the Unitrsquos technology and curricular capabilities and ensuring threshold compliance

Page 8 of 60

Kentucky State University maintains a 24-hour Police Department to provide security for the campus Officers duties include the monitoring of Bradford Hall and maintaining its general security Additionally faculty and staff are accountable to the extent possible for the security of the specific areas under their direct control to avoid thefts of equipment and vandalism

The Division of Fine Arts Chairperson (the Music Executive) Campus Police and University Facilities Management officials continue to monitor and address security and safety issues Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp5-6 delineates the Music Unitrsquos means for informing students and others regarding health and safety issues hazards and procedures inherent to practice performance teaching and listening both in general and as applicable to their specialization Recent key stakeholders survey results regarding hazards health and safety issues indicate that this strategy is meeting with mixed results regarding threshold compliance

G Library and Learning Resources

The Music Unit does not maintain a music library separate from the campus library However the Unit does have access to the library learning and information resources necessary to fulfill its mission goals and objectives which are appropriate for the size and scope of its operations and threshold compliance

Exhibit G1a Narrative clearly delineates the operational standards governance and administration collections development personnel services access facilities and finances associated with the Paul G Blazer Library in accordance with University policy approved by the Board of Regents

The Paul G Blazer Library music collections learning and information resources and listening accommodations are delineated within Exhibit G1b Comprehensive Holdings Exhibit G1d Music Periodicals Exhibit G1e Music Scores Exhibit G1f Music Titles and Exhibit G1c Music Listening Lab respectively

The Music Unit additionally maintains the Music Technology Laboratory (BH-G8) which accommodates structured listening activities As previously discussed above Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements delineates those critical enhancements of the Laboratory deemed necessary to bring the facility to threshold compliance Finally the operational policies and procedures for access are appropriate to the needs of the Unitrsquos students and faculty and are delineated within Exhibit G1g Music Technology Lab Policies

H Recruitment AdmissionndashRetention Record Keeping and Advisement

The Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices are governed by and in accord with those of the University as delineated within Exhibit A1 Admissions Policy and Procedures KSU 2016 Cataloguepp21-26 p29 Additionally to insure ethical recruitment practices statewide the Kentucky Association of College Music Departments (KACMD) has established the following guidelines for accepting music scholarships at any public or private college or university in Kentucky

(1) Students accepting their awards are declaring their intent to attend the school making the offer

(2) Students may accept a music scholarship from only ONE member institution

(3) The written acceptance of music scholarships from more than one member institution signed after May 1 will result in the withdrawal of scholarship offers to the student by member institutions involved

(5) Awards may be offered and accepted only in written form Verbal commitments are not permissible and are not binding

(6) Upon accepting scholarships from a member institution students cannot be released from their commitment to that institution without written permission from the schools music executive

(7) Transferring students are ineligible for music scholarships at the new institution until the completion of one semester of full-time study unless specifically released in writing by the music executive of the original school

The Unitrsquos Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with these policies Furthermore both Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and Exhibit A2c KSU 2016-2020 Strategic Plan articulate clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories that are designed to offset the sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment experienced over the past five years Our efforts are additionally better facilitated through the Unitrsquos Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals

Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow facilitates our efforts to ensure that all prospect communications are in accord with the Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices and specific procedures and music unit standards used for prospect and student placements are delineated within Exhibit A1 Program Proficiency Expectations KSU 2016 Catalogue pp156-157

The Music Unit fully acknowledges sustaining an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both recruitment and retention and our respective efforts additionally acknowledge the critical role assumed by intrusive advisement strategies in reaching the Unitrsquos retention trajectories While Exhibit H3a KSU Centralized Advising Model delineates Kentucky State Universityrsquos procedures for student advisement the Music Unit has assumed a

Page 10 of 60

more intrusive model of advising and counseling through its Exhibit H3b DOFA Advising Handbook For example Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting ensures that every music major experiences a comprehensive review before the entire Unit faculty each semester of their matriculation In our pursuit of threshold compliance these reviews have been highly effective in (1) identifying specific threats to individual student success (2) acknowledging and reinforcing positive behaviors (3) counseling majors on preparing for careers and anticipating the continuation of studies and (4) facilitating continuous student focus on the valuable precepts necessary for student success

Exhibit H4 KSU Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures delineates the institutional policy and procedures for the submission processing and consideration of student complaints Exhibit H5 KSU Teacher Educator Preparation Program delineates specific guidelines and procedures for counseling students preparing to be elementarysecondary specialist music teachers and are threshold compliant

Exhibit H6 KSU Department of Music Advisee Folio Required Components delineates the mandatory and required components of each student folio which fully informs the Unitrsquos advising and counseling efforts Student data is updated continuously during each semester by Music faculty advisors who have real-time access via their office computers to student academic and financial records maintained on the Universitys student information system This process is threshold compliant and these data are contained in curriculum checklists which clearly specify graduation andor certification requirements and are included in each music majors folio along with a current transcript and other documents pertaining to their academic progress Students repertory studied and performances are recorded at the end of each semester on the Applied Music Record form Faculty members have immediate access to most student records via their personal computers

Digital recording resources are in place in Bradford Hall Auditorium nevertheless no policy is in place to require the recording and maintenance of audio andor video tape recordings for an archival record of a students performance of the junior or senior recital Any audio andor video recording that takes place is usually effected through the efforts of the individual applied instructors or the student

Finally the specific means of assessing our progress on these critical issues are delineated within Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan and specifically detailed below in Section N of the Self-Study

I Published Materials and Web Sites

The institution and the Music Unit ensure threshold compliance in all of its published materials Those materials are clear detailed accurate and readily available

Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue Appendix 3 KSU Student Handbook and Appendix 4 KSU Faculty Handbook 2011 represent the primary repositories of the institution and the Unitrsquos policies and procedures and those publications are cited throughout this document in providing evidence of threshold compliance with respective standards

Likewise the Kentucky State University website provides online portable document format files calendars and other accessible information of interest Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit delineates the various accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates Promotional materials associated with the student recruitment process provided by the Office of Admissions are comparable in content and format to those of the other state-supported and private colleges and universities in Kentucky The Music executive has secured permission to directly control and revise the contents of the Unitrsquos website which has resulted in critical updates and enhancements such as Exhibit J2 Echoes Our Online Newsletter The Music Unit continuously updates the contents and information contained within those materials as well within the University website

A comprehensive listing with appropriate exhibit links of all relevant materials are included within Section IV the Management Documents Portfolio Contents Table of this Self-Study as Section I Published Materials and Website and are threshold compliant

K Community Involvement

The Music Unit maintains a documented commitment to the cultural enrichment of the Frankfort community and the University service area counties For example the Unitrsquos Exhibit J3 The Keys to the Community Project and Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation

Threshold compliance is advanced through the Unitrsquos Arts in Education initiative where ensembles such as the Marching Thorobred Band Jazz Ensemble our new Commercial Music Ensemble Concert Choir Show Choir and Gospel Ensemble regularly perform for University public schools and community events and the OperaMusical Theater Workshop has presented numerous performances of operas and opera scenes for area public schools Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdashwas established to create musical awareness in young children enrich their self-esteem enhance their social skills and reinforce basic literacy skills

N Evaluation Planning and Projections

The review and evaluation of the Music Unitrsquos current activities and planning to effect needed changes are the primary responsibility of the administrator of the Music Unit (Division of Fine Arts Chairperson) and involve all music faculty and the upper level administrators to whom the Chairperson reports Major structures and activities which provide planning projection of data and threshold compliance are the Music Unit Committee Structure and the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty which includes student evaluations of the music curricular experiences

The music faculty meeting represents the most critical component of the unit structure These meetings occur on an average of two or three times a month On a less regular basis the unit undergoes periodic assessment by outside agencies (such as SACS NASM NCATE) or external evaluators such as the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Educationrsquos Appendix 2 CPE Program Review-Music 2013 and Appendix 9 CPE Program Review -Music-2015 As previously noted within this Self-Study six of the Unitrsquos faculty have been appointed within the last two years and the Music executive ensures familiarity and compliance with these critical expectations through the Appendix 10 Faculty Responsibilities- Expectations And Compliance Policies and the Appendix 8 The Implementation of a Pre-tenure Mentorship and Advisory Council

Music Unit committees report to the Chairperson and to the Unit Faculty The Unit Curriculum Committee and Tenure and Promotion Committee make recommendations through the Chairperson and the Provost to the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee and to the University Tenure and Promotion Committee respectively The activities of these two committees are governed by University policies the Curriculum Committee by the Faculty Senate Constitution and the Tenure and Promotion Committee by Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion

Page 13 of 60

Unit faculty members meeting as a committee of the whole debate and make decisions in areas such as the academic program recruitment of students planning events and so forth Specific issues are advanced and discussed and the entire faculty always participates in major projects or initiatives such as this or any other self-study In other areas individual faculty members assist the chairperson with specific assignments On the whole our discussion of issues include the current status and the specific factors contributing to that status (evaluation) the necessary changes to bring about the desired future improvements (planning) and the metrics and trajectories that will demonstrate the attainment of those improvements (projections)

The evaluation of student achievement is facilitated in several ways which are further delineated within Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 and especially most recently Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 The Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination recitals keyboard proficiency assessments and Unit juries provide data on knowledge and skills acquired in music Surveys of graduates provide additional information on the relationship between quality of instruction and the music curriculum with success in post-graduate employment Correlation of these data and data from external evaluations are conducted by the Music executive Such overall assessments are generally presented to the music faculty acting as a committee of the whole These data become the basis for future planning

The main opportunity available to the Unitrsquos students to formally evaluate their curricular experiences is the Student Evaluation of Instruction which is further detailed on the next page of the Self-Study Additionally the evaluation of Unit faculty is facilitated by the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty and the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks

The Music Unit is guided by a newly (2015) developed Strategic Plan that embraces KSUrsquos rich history traditions and diversity in preparing our students for careers as practicing artists educators and performers Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan are provided as evidence of the Unitrsquos efforts and threshold compliance with the standards of this section of the Self-Study

The Music executive aggressively engaged all key stakeholders in a yearlong pursuit of the present long-term strategic plan That involvement was pursued in a critical effort to articulate and capture perceptual data from all key stakeholders ie our students faculty staff and alumni as they regard perceived Unit strengths weaknesses threats and opportunities We engaged our key stakeholders in this process since the efficacy of these efforts remain highly dependent on programmatic ownership

SWOT Analyses commenced in September of 2014 when formal surveys were administered to all key stakeholders seeking their vital perceptions and opinions The item responses of those surveys were tabulated commentary was aggregated and specific thematic trends were identified The Music executive pursued a yearlong period of observations in an effort to either validate or invalidate the themes that arose from the environmental scan The

Page 14 of 60

thematic trends that were validated through direct observation subsequently fully informed the construction and development of specific Goals Objectives and Strategic Priorities

The resulting Strategic Plan evolved from the unique value and positioning of Kentucky State University and the Music Unit moves to marketing communication and exemplary engagement as recruitment and retention mechanisms and finally addresses longstanding programmatic issues We view this as an integrated approach starting with each individual associated with the Unit and ending with a systematic view of all functions that make up the Unit and its programs

Our immediate vision has been aligned with the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks and seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices The Unit is additionally pursuing programmatic and curricular revisions which will maximize efficiency in matriculation and time-to-degree while expanding the latitude of options for meeting student competencies and proficiencies within the context of current accreditations Whether through presentations such as concerts recitals productions exhibitions lectures or workshops our global focus seeks to advance an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

Provided immediately below are the resulting Unit Goals with selective assessment commentary on the Unitrsquos current progress

GOAL 1 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Teaching Learning and Assessment

Unit faculty pursued the exhaustive development of Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes These outcomes are designed to better document the Unitrsquos evaluation of student achievement and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are aligned with the essential student competencies articulated by NASM NCATE and the institutional Appendix 11 Liberal Studies Core Essential Competencies

Unit faculty are subsequently utilizing Blackboard and Live Text to implement appropriate assessment modules as a means of assessing student achievement as it regards our SLOs and which are delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Faculty document the development and implementation of at least one major assessment project for each course of instruction and disseminate those assessments within the Annual Self Evaluation Form SES 1

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit I1 Music at Kentucky State University Website Unit faculty have significantly infused global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices a primary theme that resulted from our SWOT analyses We have implemented three additional Commercial ensembles and revitalized our elective courses in Jazz and African American Music

Page 15 of 60

Finally regarding Student Evaluations of Instruction the Unit has this year abandoned the more traditional opinion survey and migrated to the use of the IDEA assessment systems This change resulted from our observation that the previous survey instrument did little to measure teaching effectiveness nor to advance the improvement of instruction Exhibit E7 An Analysis and Critique of the Methods of Student Evaluation of Faculty pp 1-3 clearly delineates our rationale for doing so Moreover the primary benefit of this platform is that it requires the alignment of all questions or inquiries with specific student learning goals that are identified by each individual faculty member

GOAL 2 Implement intrusive recruitment strategies that will ensure a representative community of aspiring scholars artists and musicians

The Unit has developed and implemented Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures and Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting to immediately advance our recruitment and retention efforts Faculty are additionally implementing the EAB Campus Student Success Collaborative as an intrusive mode of student engagement Progress reports are generated throughout each semester for each student in each class under their instruction The impact of these innovations has been immediate as the Unit has exceeded its recruitment targets for the current year and expanded our first to second year retention rate to over 60

GOAL 3 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Scholarship Performance and Creative Activity

As is delineated within Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 the frequency and quality of performance seminars and recitals have doubled over the past two years Likewise Unit faculty creative activities have significantly increased as delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae

GOAL 4 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Service and Professional Development

As delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae Unit faculty service and professional development activities have significantly increased

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses In addition to the requirements of the students major field of study Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University The Liberal Studies Requirements are divided into two parts The General Core Requirements and the Integrative Studies Requirements

The previous 2006 Self-Study expressed legitimate concerns that the high credit hour requirement for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements consistently jeopardized new student recruitment efforts as well as placed additional burden on students matriculating through the Bachelor of Music degree program Two occurrences have mitigated those legitimate concerns and vastly improved the time-to-degree prospects for those students majoring in Music First the University has subsequently reviewed the Liberal Studies General Core and Integrative Studies Requirements and fully implemented the changes necessary to decrease those requirements for specific majors including Music

Second the university has mandated that all degree programs strictly adhere to a maximum of 120 credit hours for all baccalaureate degrees While this latter occurrence has necessitated critical curricular and experiential revisions they have required that the Unit approach threshold compliance from the perspective of meeting competencies through a variety on means and experiences as opposed to specifically designated courses Subsequent to the latter occurrence the Unit reorganized common courses within our degree options into a Music Core Curriculummdashwith instrumental keyboard and vocal major tracks

The implementation of various ldquoSpecializationsrdquo within the ldquoBachelor of Musicrdquo degree option represents a related by product of that curricular reorganization That strategy was

Page 17 of 60

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

1 Performance

The Music Unit is committed to the highest possible standards in its performance areas Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi delineates various curricular and experiential processes that are designed to ensure threshold compliance with expected competencies The Music Theory Placement Examination and the Piano Placement Examination further delineated in the Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency are administered to determine the studentrsquos level of entry into the music theory and piano sequences respectively

General descriptions of the Unitrsquos performance evaluation policies and procedures are published in the Exhibit A1 Bachelor of Music KSU 2016 Catalogue pp157-158 and the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 Spec

All music majors are required to successfully complete applied performance courses and an accompanying performance laboratory each semester except for music education students during the semester in which they complete student teaching Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes fully informs all the Units performance curricula experiences and practices

Instrumental majors (wind brass percussion) must demonstrate mastery of the specific performance skills knowledge and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study

Page 18 of 60

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

4 History and Repertory

One of the significant aspects of the music education program is the low teacher-to-student ratio and the resulting high level of personal attention students receive With small classes professors are able to know each student especially regarding academic and musical strengths and weaknesses motivation and professional goals In such an environment aspects such as field activities are tailored to the needs of the individual student

One Music Unit faculty representative serves on the Teacher Education Committee and has primary responsibility to monitor the progress of Unit candidates The advisor is assigned one-quarter time to the education unit and advises music Education majors teaches methods of music courses and observes candidates in their supervised teaching As a member of the Teacher Education Committee and the education unit the advisor is informed about the performance of each candidate on all criteria in the Continuous Assessment Plan As a member of the music faculty the advisor is also informed about the progress of each candidate in satisfactorily completing the required music courses

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

SECTION III SUMMARY

Strengths

Page 39 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary strengths of the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The diversity variety and vitality of ensemble experiences provided as evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

2 The exemplary accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates as delineated within Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit

3 Stable Music enrollments and expanded curricular offerings and experiences that strategically focus on the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage

4 The Unitrsquos Strategic Plan which addresses longstanding programmatic issues

5 Our immediate Vision which seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices and to advances an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

6 The Unit facultyrsquos commitment to the delivery of a current quality curriculum as delineated within Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi and their documented commitment to the cultural enrichment of the Frankfort community and the University service area counties

7 The Unitrsquos wide variety of Music courses and experiences offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University

Most of the Music Units student body maintain better than a C average in all required music courses (with some exceptions that are detailed below) and upon reaching the appropriate level most have successfully completed the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination the Keyboard Proficiency Examination and their Applied Music Juries Additionally most students who have reached that level have successfully completed and performed their Junior andor Senior Recitals demonstrating a synthesis of their music study at the University Those students who have graduated and applied to graduate schools have generally been admitted without experiencing any difficulties or deficiencies

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

Kentucky State University maintains a 24-hour Police Department to provide security for the campus Officers duties include the monitoring of Bradford Hall and maintaining its general security Additionally faculty and staff are accountable to the extent possible for the security of the specific areas under their direct control to avoid thefts of equipment and vandalism

The Division of Fine Arts Chairperson (the Music Executive) Campus Police and University Facilities Management officials continue to monitor and address security and safety issues Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp5-6 delineates the Music Unitrsquos means for informing students and others regarding health and safety issues hazards and procedures inherent to practice performance teaching and listening both in general and as applicable to their specialization Recent key stakeholders survey results regarding hazards health and safety issues indicate that this strategy is meeting with mixed results regarding threshold compliance

G Library and Learning Resources

The Music Unit does not maintain a music library separate from the campus library However the Unit does have access to the library learning and information resources necessary to fulfill its mission goals and objectives which are appropriate for the size and scope of its operations and threshold compliance

Exhibit G1a Narrative clearly delineates the operational standards governance and administration collections development personnel services access facilities and finances associated with the Paul G Blazer Library in accordance with University policy approved by the Board of Regents

The Paul G Blazer Library music collections learning and information resources and listening accommodations are delineated within Exhibit G1b Comprehensive Holdings Exhibit G1d Music Periodicals Exhibit G1e Music Scores Exhibit G1f Music Titles and Exhibit G1c Music Listening Lab respectively

The Music Unit additionally maintains the Music Technology Laboratory (BH-G8) which accommodates structured listening activities As previously discussed above Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements delineates those critical enhancements of the Laboratory deemed necessary to bring the facility to threshold compliance Finally the operational policies and procedures for access are appropriate to the needs of the Unitrsquos students and faculty and are delineated within Exhibit G1g Music Technology Lab Policies

H Recruitment AdmissionndashRetention Record Keeping and Advisement

The Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices are governed by and in accord with those of the University as delineated within Exhibit A1 Admissions Policy and Procedures KSU 2016 Cataloguepp21-26 p29 Additionally to insure ethical recruitment practices statewide the Kentucky Association of College Music Departments (KACMD) has established the following guidelines for accepting music scholarships at any public or private college or university in Kentucky

(1) Students accepting their awards are declaring their intent to attend the school making the offer

(2) Students may accept a music scholarship from only ONE member institution

(3) The written acceptance of music scholarships from more than one member institution signed after May 1 will result in the withdrawal of scholarship offers to the student by member institutions involved

(5) Awards may be offered and accepted only in written form Verbal commitments are not permissible and are not binding

(6) Upon accepting scholarships from a member institution students cannot be released from their commitment to that institution without written permission from the schools music executive

(7) Transferring students are ineligible for music scholarships at the new institution until the completion of one semester of full-time study unless specifically released in writing by the music executive of the original school

The Unitrsquos Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with these policies Furthermore both Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and Exhibit A2c KSU 2016-2020 Strategic Plan articulate clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories that are designed to offset the sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment experienced over the past five years Our efforts are additionally better facilitated through the Unitrsquos Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals

Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow facilitates our efforts to ensure that all prospect communications are in accord with the Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices and specific procedures and music unit standards used for prospect and student placements are delineated within Exhibit A1 Program Proficiency Expectations KSU 2016 Catalogue pp156-157

The Music Unit fully acknowledges sustaining an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both recruitment and retention and our respective efforts additionally acknowledge the critical role assumed by intrusive advisement strategies in reaching the Unitrsquos retention trajectories While Exhibit H3a KSU Centralized Advising Model delineates Kentucky State Universityrsquos procedures for student advisement the Music Unit has assumed a

Page 10 of 60

more intrusive model of advising and counseling through its Exhibit H3b DOFA Advising Handbook For example Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting ensures that every music major experiences a comprehensive review before the entire Unit faculty each semester of their matriculation In our pursuit of threshold compliance these reviews have been highly effective in (1) identifying specific threats to individual student success (2) acknowledging and reinforcing positive behaviors (3) counseling majors on preparing for careers and anticipating the continuation of studies and (4) facilitating continuous student focus on the valuable precepts necessary for student success

Exhibit H4 KSU Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures delineates the institutional policy and procedures for the submission processing and consideration of student complaints Exhibit H5 KSU Teacher Educator Preparation Program delineates specific guidelines and procedures for counseling students preparing to be elementarysecondary specialist music teachers and are threshold compliant

Exhibit H6 KSU Department of Music Advisee Folio Required Components delineates the mandatory and required components of each student folio which fully informs the Unitrsquos advising and counseling efforts Student data is updated continuously during each semester by Music faculty advisors who have real-time access via their office computers to student academic and financial records maintained on the Universitys student information system This process is threshold compliant and these data are contained in curriculum checklists which clearly specify graduation andor certification requirements and are included in each music majors folio along with a current transcript and other documents pertaining to their academic progress Students repertory studied and performances are recorded at the end of each semester on the Applied Music Record form Faculty members have immediate access to most student records via their personal computers

Digital recording resources are in place in Bradford Hall Auditorium nevertheless no policy is in place to require the recording and maintenance of audio andor video tape recordings for an archival record of a students performance of the junior or senior recital Any audio andor video recording that takes place is usually effected through the efforts of the individual applied instructors or the student

Finally the specific means of assessing our progress on these critical issues are delineated within Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan and specifically detailed below in Section N of the Self-Study

I Published Materials and Web Sites

The institution and the Music Unit ensure threshold compliance in all of its published materials Those materials are clear detailed accurate and readily available

Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue Appendix 3 KSU Student Handbook and Appendix 4 KSU Faculty Handbook 2011 represent the primary repositories of the institution and the Unitrsquos policies and procedures and those publications are cited throughout this document in providing evidence of threshold compliance with respective standards

Likewise the Kentucky State University website provides online portable document format files calendars and other accessible information of interest Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit delineates the various accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates Promotional materials associated with the student recruitment process provided by the Office of Admissions are comparable in content and format to those of the other state-supported and private colleges and universities in Kentucky The Music executive has secured permission to directly control and revise the contents of the Unitrsquos website which has resulted in critical updates and enhancements such as Exhibit J2 Echoes Our Online Newsletter The Music Unit continuously updates the contents and information contained within those materials as well within the University website

N Evaluation Planning and Projections

The review and evaluation of the Music Unitrsquos current activities and planning to effect needed changes are the primary responsibility of the administrator of the Music Unit (Division of Fine Arts Chairperson) and involve all music faculty and the upper level administrators to whom the Chairperson reports Major structures and activities which provide planning projection of data and threshold compliance are the Music Unit Committee Structure and the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty which includes student evaluations of the music curricular experiences

The music faculty meeting represents the most critical component of the unit structure These meetings occur on an average of two or three times a month On a less regular basis the unit undergoes periodic assessment by outside agencies (such as SACS NASM NCATE) or external evaluators such as the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Educationrsquos Appendix 2 CPE Program Review-Music 2013 and Appendix 9 CPE Program Review -Music-2015 As previously noted within this Self-Study six of the Unitrsquos faculty have been appointed within the last two years and the Music executive ensures familiarity and compliance with these critical expectations through the Appendix 10 Faculty Responsibilities- Expectations And Compliance Policies and the Appendix 8 The Implementation of a Pre-tenure Mentorship and Advisory Council

Music Unit committees report to the Chairperson and to the Unit Faculty The Unit Curriculum Committee and Tenure and Promotion Committee make recommendations through the Chairperson and the Provost to the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee and to the University Tenure and Promotion Committee respectively The activities of these two committees are governed by University policies the Curriculum Committee by the Faculty Senate Constitution and the Tenure and Promotion Committee by Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion

Page 13 of 60

Unit faculty members meeting as a committee of the whole debate and make decisions in areas such as the academic program recruitment of students planning events and so forth Specific issues are advanced and discussed and the entire faculty always participates in major projects or initiatives such as this or any other self-study In other areas individual faculty members assist the chairperson with specific assignments On the whole our discussion of issues include the current status and the specific factors contributing to that status (evaluation) the necessary changes to bring about the desired future improvements (planning) and the metrics and trajectories that will demonstrate the attainment of those improvements (projections)

The evaluation of student achievement is facilitated in several ways which are further delineated within Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 and especially most recently Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 The Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination recitals keyboard proficiency assessments and Unit juries provide data on knowledge and skills acquired in music Surveys of graduates provide additional information on the relationship between quality of instruction and the music curriculum with success in post-graduate employment Correlation of these data and data from external evaluations are conducted by the Music executive Such overall assessments are generally presented to the music faculty acting as a committee of the whole These data become the basis for future planning

The main opportunity available to the Unitrsquos students to formally evaluate their curricular experiences is the Student Evaluation of Instruction which is further detailed on the next page of the Self-Study Additionally the evaluation of Unit faculty is facilitated by the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty and the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks

The Music Unit is guided by a newly (2015) developed Strategic Plan that embraces KSUrsquos rich history traditions and diversity in preparing our students for careers as practicing artists educators and performers Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan are provided as evidence of the Unitrsquos efforts and threshold compliance with the standards of this section of the Self-Study

The Music executive aggressively engaged all key stakeholders in a yearlong pursuit of the present long-term strategic plan That involvement was pursued in a critical effort to articulate and capture perceptual data from all key stakeholders ie our students faculty staff and alumni as they regard perceived Unit strengths weaknesses threats and opportunities We engaged our key stakeholders in this process since the efficacy of these efforts remain highly dependent on programmatic ownership

SWOT Analyses commenced in September of 2014 when formal surveys were administered to all key stakeholders seeking their vital perceptions and opinions The item responses of those surveys were tabulated commentary was aggregated and specific thematic trends were identified The Music executive pursued a yearlong period of observations in an effort to either validate or invalidate the themes that arose from the environmental scan The

Page 14 of 60

thematic trends that were validated through direct observation subsequently fully informed the construction and development of specific Goals Objectives and Strategic Priorities

The resulting Strategic Plan evolved from the unique value and positioning of Kentucky State University and the Music Unit moves to marketing communication and exemplary engagement as recruitment and retention mechanisms and finally addresses longstanding programmatic issues We view this as an integrated approach starting with each individual associated with the Unit and ending with a systematic view of all functions that make up the Unit and its programs

Our immediate vision has been aligned with the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks and seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices The Unit is additionally pursuing programmatic and curricular revisions which will maximize efficiency in matriculation and time-to-degree while expanding the latitude of options for meeting student competencies and proficiencies within the context of current accreditations Whether through presentations such as concerts recitals productions exhibitions lectures or workshops our global focus seeks to advance an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

Provided immediately below are the resulting Unit Goals with selective assessment commentary on the Unitrsquos current progress

GOAL 1 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Teaching Learning and Assessment

Unit faculty pursued the exhaustive development of Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes These outcomes are designed to better document the Unitrsquos evaluation of student achievement and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are aligned with the essential student competencies articulated by NASM NCATE and the institutional Appendix 11 Liberal Studies Core Essential Competencies

Unit faculty are subsequently utilizing Blackboard and Live Text to implement appropriate assessment modules as a means of assessing student achievement as it regards our SLOs and which are delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Faculty document the development and implementation of at least one major assessment project for each course of instruction and disseminate those assessments within the Annual Self Evaluation Form SES 1

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit I1 Music at Kentucky State University Website Unit faculty have significantly infused global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices a primary theme that resulted from our SWOT analyses We have implemented three additional Commercial ensembles and revitalized our elective courses in Jazz and African American Music

Page 15 of 60

Finally regarding Student Evaluations of Instruction the Unit has this year abandoned the more traditional opinion survey and migrated to the use of the IDEA assessment systems This change resulted from our observation that the previous survey instrument did little to measure teaching effectiveness nor to advance the improvement of instruction Exhibit E7 An Analysis and Critique of the Methods of Student Evaluation of Faculty pp 1-3 clearly delineates our rationale for doing so Moreover the primary benefit of this platform is that it requires the alignment of all questions or inquiries with specific student learning goals that are identified by each individual faculty member

GOAL 2 Implement intrusive recruitment strategies that will ensure a representative community of aspiring scholars artists and musicians

The Unit has developed and implemented Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures and Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting to immediately advance our recruitment and retention efforts Faculty are additionally implementing the EAB Campus Student Success Collaborative as an intrusive mode of student engagement Progress reports are generated throughout each semester for each student in each class under their instruction The impact of these innovations has been immediate as the Unit has exceeded its recruitment targets for the current year and expanded our first to second year retention rate to over 60

GOAL 3 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Scholarship Performance and Creative Activity

As is delineated within Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 the frequency and quality of performance seminars and recitals have doubled over the past two years Likewise Unit faculty creative activities have significantly increased as delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae

GOAL 4 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Service and Professional Development

As delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae Unit faculty service and professional development activities have significantly increased

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses In addition to the requirements of the students major field of study Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University The Liberal Studies Requirements are divided into two parts The General Core Requirements and the Integrative Studies Requirements

The previous 2006 Self-Study expressed legitimate concerns that the high credit hour requirement for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements consistently jeopardized new student recruitment efforts as well as placed additional burden on students matriculating through the Bachelor of Music degree program Two occurrences have mitigated those legitimate concerns and vastly improved the time-to-degree prospects for those students majoring in Music First the University has subsequently reviewed the Liberal Studies General Core and Integrative Studies Requirements and fully implemented the changes necessary to decrease those requirements for specific majors including Music

Second the university has mandated that all degree programs strictly adhere to a maximum of 120 credit hours for all baccalaureate degrees While this latter occurrence has necessitated critical curricular and experiential revisions they have required that the Unit approach threshold compliance from the perspective of meeting competencies through a variety on means and experiences as opposed to specifically designated courses Subsequent to the latter occurrence the Unit reorganized common courses within our degree options into a Music Core Curriculummdashwith instrumental keyboard and vocal major tracks

The implementation of various ldquoSpecializationsrdquo within the ldquoBachelor of Musicrdquo degree option represents a related by product of that curricular reorganization That strategy was

Page 17 of 60

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

1 Performance

The Music Unit is committed to the highest possible standards in its performance areas Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi delineates various curricular and experiential processes that are designed to ensure threshold compliance with expected competencies The Music Theory Placement Examination and the Piano Placement Examination further delineated in the Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency are administered to determine the studentrsquos level of entry into the music theory and piano sequences respectively

General descriptions of the Unitrsquos performance evaluation policies and procedures are published in the Exhibit A1 Bachelor of Music KSU 2016 Catalogue pp157-158 and the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 Spec

All music majors are required to successfully complete applied performance courses and an accompanying performance laboratory each semester except for music education students during the semester in which they complete student teaching Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes fully informs all the Units performance curricula experiences and practices

Instrumental majors (wind brass percussion) must demonstrate mastery of the specific performance skills knowledge and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study

Page 18 of 60

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

SECTION III SUMMARY

Strengths

Page 39 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary strengths of the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The diversity variety and vitality of ensemble experiences provided as evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

2 The exemplary accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates as delineated within Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit

3 Stable Music enrollments and expanded curricular offerings and experiences that strategically focus on the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage

4 The Unitrsquos Strategic Plan which addresses longstanding programmatic issues

5 Our immediate Vision which seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices and to advances an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

6 The Unit facultyrsquos commitment to the delivery of a current quality curriculum as delineated within Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi and their documented commitment to the cultural enrichment of the Frankfort community and the University service area counties

7 The Unitrsquos wide variety of Music courses and experiences offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University

Most of the Music Units student body maintain better than a C average in all required music courses (with some exceptions that are detailed below) and upon reaching the appropriate level most have successfully completed the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination the Keyboard Proficiency Examination and their Applied Music Juries Additionally most students who have reached that level have successfully completed and performed their Junior andor Senior Recitals demonstrating a synthesis of their music study at the University Those students who have graduated and applied to graduate schools have generally been admitted without experiencing any difficulties or deficiencies

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

H Recruitment AdmissionndashRetention Record Keeping and Advisement

The Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices are governed by and in accord with those of the University as delineated within Exhibit A1 Admissions Policy and Procedures KSU 2016 Cataloguepp21-26 p29 Additionally to insure ethical recruitment practices statewide the Kentucky Association of College Music Departments (KACMD) has established the following guidelines for accepting music scholarships at any public or private college or university in Kentucky

(1) Students accepting their awards are declaring their intent to attend the school making the offer

(2) Students may accept a music scholarship from only ONE member institution

(3) The written acceptance of music scholarships from more than one member institution signed after May 1 will result in the withdrawal of scholarship offers to the student by member institutions involved

(5) Awards may be offered and accepted only in written form Verbal commitments are not permissible and are not binding

(6) Upon accepting scholarships from a member institution students cannot be released from their commitment to that institution without written permission from the schools music executive

(7) Transferring students are ineligible for music scholarships at the new institution until the completion of one semester of full-time study unless specifically released in writing by the music executive of the original school

The Unitrsquos Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with these policies Furthermore both Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and Exhibit A2c KSU 2016-2020 Strategic Plan articulate clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories that are designed to offset the sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment experienced over the past five years Our efforts are additionally better facilitated through the Unitrsquos Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals

Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow facilitates our efforts to ensure that all prospect communications are in accord with the Music Unitrsquos admissions and student recruitment policies and practices and specific procedures and music unit standards used for prospect and student placements are delineated within Exhibit A1 Program Proficiency Expectations KSU 2016 Catalogue pp156-157

The Music Unit fully acknowledges sustaining an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both recruitment and retention and our respective efforts additionally acknowledge the critical role assumed by intrusive advisement strategies in reaching the Unitrsquos retention trajectories While Exhibit H3a KSU Centralized Advising Model delineates Kentucky State Universityrsquos procedures for student advisement the Music Unit has assumed a

Page 10 of 60

more intrusive model of advising and counseling through its Exhibit H3b DOFA Advising Handbook For example Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting ensures that every music major experiences a comprehensive review before the entire Unit faculty each semester of their matriculation In our pursuit of threshold compliance these reviews have been highly effective in (1) identifying specific threats to individual student success (2) acknowledging and reinforcing positive behaviors (3) counseling majors on preparing for careers and anticipating the continuation of studies and (4) facilitating continuous student focus on the valuable precepts necessary for student success

Exhibit H4 KSU Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures delineates the institutional policy and procedures for the submission processing and consideration of student complaints Exhibit H5 KSU Teacher Educator Preparation Program delineates specific guidelines and procedures for counseling students preparing to be elementarysecondary specialist music teachers and are threshold compliant

Exhibit H6 KSU Department of Music Advisee Folio Required Components delineates the mandatory and required components of each student folio which fully informs the Unitrsquos advising and counseling efforts Student data is updated continuously during each semester by Music faculty advisors who have real-time access via their office computers to student academic and financial records maintained on the Universitys student information system This process is threshold compliant and these data are contained in curriculum checklists which clearly specify graduation andor certification requirements and are included in each music majors folio along with a current transcript and other documents pertaining to their academic progress Students repertory studied and performances are recorded at the end of each semester on the Applied Music Record form Faculty members have immediate access to most student records via their personal computers

Digital recording resources are in place in Bradford Hall Auditorium nevertheless no policy is in place to require the recording and maintenance of audio andor video tape recordings for an archival record of a students performance of the junior or senior recital Any audio andor video recording that takes place is usually effected through the efforts of the individual applied instructors or the student

Finally the specific means of assessing our progress on these critical issues are delineated within Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan and specifically detailed below in Section N of the Self-Study

I Published Materials and Web Sites

The institution and the Music Unit ensure threshold compliance in all of its published materials Those materials are clear detailed accurate and readily available

Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue Appendix 3 KSU Student Handbook and Appendix 4 KSU Faculty Handbook 2011 represent the primary repositories of the institution and the Unitrsquos policies and procedures and those publications are cited throughout this document in providing evidence of threshold compliance with respective standards

Likewise the Kentucky State University website provides online portable document format files calendars and other accessible information of interest Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit delineates the various accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates Promotional materials associated with the student recruitment process provided by the Office of Admissions are comparable in content and format to those of the other state-supported and private colleges and universities in Kentucky The Music executive has secured permission to directly control and revise the contents of the Unitrsquos website which has resulted in critical updates and enhancements such as Exhibit J2 Echoes Our Online Newsletter The Music Unit continuously updates the contents and information contained within those materials as well within the University website

A comprehensive listing with appropriate exhibit links of all relevant materials are included within Section IV the Management Documents Portfolio Contents Table of this Self-Study as Section I Published Materials and Website and are threshold compliant

K Community Involvement

The Music Unit maintains a documented commitment to the cultural enrichment of the Frankfort community and the University service area counties For example the Unitrsquos Exhibit J3 The Keys to the Community Project and Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation

Threshold compliance is advanced through the Unitrsquos Arts in Education initiative where ensembles such as the Marching Thorobred Band Jazz Ensemble our new Commercial Music Ensemble Concert Choir Show Choir and Gospel Ensemble regularly perform for University public schools and community events and the OperaMusical Theater Workshop has presented numerous performances of operas and opera scenes for area public schools Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdashwas established to create musical awareness in young children enrich their self-esteem enhance their social skills and reinforce basic literacy skills

N Evaluation Planning and Projections

The review and evaluation of the Music Unitrsquos current activities and planning to effect needed changes are the primary responsibility of the administrator of the Music Unit (Division of Fine Arts Chairperson) and involve all music faculty and the upper level administrators to whom the Chairperson reports Major structures and activities which provide planning projection of data and threshold compliance are the Music Unit Committee Structure and the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty which includes student evaluations of the music curricular experiences

The music faculty meeting represents the most critical component of the unit structure These meetings occur on an average of two or three times a month On a less regular basis the unit undergoes periodic assessment by outside agencies (such as SACS NASM NCATE) or external evaluators such as the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Educationrsquos Appendix 2 CPE Program Review-Music 2013 and Appendix 9 CPE Program Review -Music-2015 As previously noted within this Self-Study six of the Unitrsquos faculty have been appointed within the last two years and the Music executive ensures familiarity and compliance with these critical expectations through the Appendix 10 Faculty Responsibilities- Expectations And Compliance Policies and the Appendix 8 The Implementation of a Pre-tenure Mentorship and Advisory Council

Music Unit committees report to the Chairperson and to the Unit Faculty The Unit Curriculum Committee and Tenure and Promotion Committee make recommendations through the Chairperson and the Provost to the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee and to the University Tenure and Promotion Committee respectively The activities of these two committees are governed by University policies the Curriculum Committee by the Faculty Senate Constitution and the Tenure and Promotion Committee by Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion

Page 13 of 60

Unit faculty members meeting as a committee of the whole debate and make decisions in areas such as the academic program recruitment of students planning events and so forth Specific issues are advanced and discussed and the entire faculty always participates in major projects or initiatives such as this or any other self-study In other areas individual faculty members assist the chairperson with specific assignments On the whole our discussion of issues include the current status and the specific factors contributing to that status (evaluation) the necessary changes to bring about the desired future improvements (planning) and the metrics and trajectories that will demonstrate the attainment of those improvements (projections)

The evaluation of student achievement is facilitated in several ways which are further delineated within Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 and especially most recently Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 The Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination recitals keyboard proficiency assessments and Unit juries provide data on knowledge and skills acquired in music Surveys of graduates provide additional information on the relationship between quality of instruction and the music curriculum with success in post-graduate employment Correlation of these data and data from external evaluations are conducted by the Music executive Such overall assessments are generally presented to the music faculty acting as a committee of the whole These data become the basis for future planning

The main opportunity available to the Unitrsquos students to formally evaluate their curricular experiences is the Student Evaluation of Instruction which is further detailed on the next page of the Self-Study Additionally the evaluation of Unit faculty is facilitated by the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty and the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks

The Music Unit is guided by a newly (2015) developed Strategic Plan that embraces KSUrsquos rich history traditions and diversity in preparing our students for careers as practicing artists educators and performers Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan are provided as evidence of the Unitrsquos efforts and threshold compliance with the standards of this section of the Self-Study

The Music executive aggressively engaged all key stakeholders in a yearlong pursuit of the present long-term strategic plan That involvement was pursued in a critical effort to articulate and capture perceptual data from all key stakeholders ie our students faculty staff and alumni as they regard perceived Unit strengths weaknesses threats and opportunities We engaged our key stakeholders in this process since the efficacy of these efforts remain highly dependent on programmatic ownership

SWOT Analyses commenced in September of 2014 when formal surveys were administered to all key stakeholders seeking their vital perceptions and opinions The item responses of those surveys were tabulated commentary was aggregated and specific thematic trends were identified The Music executive pursued a yearlong period of observations in an effort to either validate or invalidate the themes that arose from the environmental scan The

Page 14 of 60

thematic trends that were validated through direct observation subsequently fully informed the construction and development of specific Goals Objectives and Strategic Priorities

The resulting Strategic Plan evolved from the unique value and positioning of Kentucky State University and the Music Unit moves to marketing communication and exemplary engagement as recruitment and retention mechanisms and finally addresses longstanding programmatic issues We view this as an integrated approach starting with each individual associated with the Unit and ending with a systematic view of all functions that make up the Unit and its programs

Our immediate vision has been aligned with the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks and seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices The Unit is additionally pursuing programmatic and curricular revisions which will maximize efficiency in matriculation and time-to-degree while expanding the latitude of options for meeting student competencies and proficiencies within the context of current accreditations Whether through presentations such as concerts recitals productions exhibitions lectures or workshops our global focus seeks to advance an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

Provided immediately below are the resulting Unit Goals with selective assessment commentary on the Unitrsquos current progress

GOAL 1 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Teaching Learning and Assessment

Unit faculty pursued the exhaustive development of Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes These outcomes are designed to better document the Unitrsquos evaluation of student achievement and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are aligned with the essential student competencies articulated by NASM NCATE and the institutional Appendix 11 Liberal Studies Core Essential Competencies

Unit faculty are subsequently utilizing Blackboard and Live Text to implement appropriate assessment modules as a means of assessing student achievement as it regards our SLOs and which are delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Faculty document the development and implementation of at least one major assessment project for each course of instruction and disseminate those assessments within the Annual Self Evaluation Form SES 1

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit I1 Music at Kentucky State University Website Unit faculty have significantly infused global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices a primary theme that resulted from our SWOT analyses We have implemented three additional Commercial ensembles and revitalized our elective courses in Jazz and African American Music

Page 15 of 60

Finally regarding Student Evaluations of Instruction the Unit has this year abandoned the more traditional opinion survey and migrated to the use of the IDEA assessment systems This change resulted from our observation that the previous survey instrument did little to measure teaching effectiveness nor to advance the improvement of instruction Exhibit E7 An Analysis and Critique of the Methods of Student Evaluation of Faculty pp 1-3 clearly delineates our rationale for doing so Moreover the primary benefit of this platform is that it requires the alignment of all questions or inquiries with specific student learning goals that are identified by each individual faculty member

GOAL 2 Implement intrusive recruitment strategies that will ensure a representative community of aspiring scholars artists and musicians

The Unit has developed and implemented Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures and Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting to immediately advance our recruitment and retention efforts Faculty are additionally implementing the EAB Campus Student Success Collaborative as an intrusive mode of student engagement Progress reports are generated throughout each semester for each student in each class under their instruction The impact of these innovations has been immediate as the Unit has exceeded its recruitment targets for the current year and expanded our first to second year retention rate to over 60

GOAL 3 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Scholarship Performance and Creative Activity

As is delineated within Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 the frequency and quality of performance seminars and recitals have doubled over the past two years Likewise Unit faculty creative activities have significantly increased as delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae

GOAL 4 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Service and Professional Development

As delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae Unit faculty service and professional development activities have significantly increased

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses In addition to the requirements of the students major field of study Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University The Liberal Studies Requirements are divided into two parts The General Core Requirements and the Integrative Studies Requirements

The previous 2006 Self-Study expressed legitimate concerns that the high credit hour requirement for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements consistently jeopardized new student recruitment efforts as well as placed additional burden on students matriculating through the Bachelor of Music degree program Two occurrences have mitigated those legitimate concerns and vastly improved the time-to-degree prospects for those students majoring in Music First the University has subsequently reviewed the Liberal Studies General Core and Integrative Studies Requirements and fully implemented the changes necessary to decrease those requirements for specific majors including Music

Second the university has mandated that all degree programs strictly adhere to a maximum of 120 credit hours for all baccalaureate degrees While this latter occurrence has necessitated critical curricular and experiential revisions they have required that the Unit approach threshold compliance from the perspective of meeting competencies through a variety on means and experiences as opposed to specifically designated courses Subsequent to the latter occurrence the Unit reorganized common courses within our degree options into a Music Core Curriculummdashwith instrumental keyboard and vocal major tracks

The implementation of various ldquoSpecializationsrdquo within the ldquoBachelor of Musicrdquo degree option represents a related by product of that curricular reorganization That strategy was

Page 17 of 60

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

One semester credit hour generally represents one clock hour of recitation or lecture or two clock hours of laboratory per week for one semester for most University courses Credit requirements for music coursesmdashMUA Music Applied MUC MusicClass Instruction MUE Music Education MUP Music Performance Ensemble and MUS Music are in accordance with NASM standards and are published in the Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue pp 407-417 In granting course credit to transfer students Kentucky State University maintains academic policies that assure that the overall educational experiences of transferring students are equivalent in quality and content to those provided by KSU and these policies are published in the Exhibit A1 Transfer Policies KSU 2016 Catalogue p57

IIA2 All Professional Baccalaureate Degrees in MusicmdashCommon Body of Knowledge and Skills Evaluation of the Development of Competencies

1 Performance

The Music Unit is committed to the highest possible standards in its performance areas Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi delineates various curricular and experiential processes that are designed to ensure threshold compliance with expected competencies The Music Theory Placement Examination and the Piano Placement Examination further delineated in the Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency are administered to determine the studentrsquos level of entry into the music theory and piano sequences respectively

General descriptions of the Unitrsquos performance evaluation policies and procedures are published in the Exhibit A1 Bachelor of Music KSU 2016 Catalogue pp157-158 and the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 Spec

All music majors are required to successfully complete applied performance courses and an accompanying performance laboratory each semester except for music education students during the semester in which they complete student teaching Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes fully informs all the Units performance curricula experiences and practices

Instrumental majors (wind brass percussion) must demonstrate mastery of the specific performance skills knowledge and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study

Page 18 of 60

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

4 History and Repertory

The Music Unit is committed to providing its students and the University community with a variety of musical experiences that are reflective of diverse stylistic historical and cultural traditions The Unit offers specific courses in music history and music literature that are designed to provide students with opportunities to study and examine such stylistic historical and cultural

Page 20 of 60

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

SECTION III SUMMARY

Strengths

Page 39 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary strengths of the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The diversity variety and vitality of ensemble experiences provided as evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

2 The exemplary accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates as delineated within Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit

3 Stable Music enrollments and expanded curricular offerings and experiences that strategically focus on the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage

5 Our immediate Vision which seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices and to advances an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

6 The Unit facultyrsquos commitment to the delivery of a current quality curriculum as delineated within Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi and their documented commitment to the cultural enrichment of the Frankfort community and the University service area counties

7 The Unitrsquos wide variety of Music courses and experiences offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University

Most of the Music Units student body maintain better than a C average in all required music courses (with some exceptions that are detailed below) and upon reaching the appropriate level most have successfully completed the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination the Keyboard Proficiency Examination and their Applied Music Juries Additionally most students who have reached that level have successfully completed and performed their Junior andor Senior Recitals demonstrating a synthesis of their music study at the University Those students who have graduated and applied to graduate schools have generally been admitted without experiencing any difficulties or deficiencies

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

more intrusive model of advising and counseling through its Exhibit H3b DOFA Advising Handbook For example Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting ensures that every music major experiences a comprehensive review before the entire Unit faculty each semester of their matriculation In our pursuit of threshold compliance these reviews have been highly effective in (1) identifying specific threats to individual student success (2) acknowledging and reinforcing positive behaviors (3) counseling majors on preparing for careers and anticipating the continuation of studies and (4) facilitating continuous student focus on the valuable precepts necessary for student success

Exhibit H4 KSU Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures delineates the institutional policy and procedures for the submission processing and consideration of student complaints Exhibit H5 KSU Teacher Educator Preparation Program delineates specific guidelines and procedures for counseling students preparing to be elementarysecondary specialist music teachers and are threshold compliant

Exhibit H6 KSU Department of Music Advisee Folio Required Components delineates the mandatory and required components of each student folio which fully informs the Unitrsquos advising and counseling efforts Student data is updated continuously during each semester by Music faculty advisors who have real-time access via their office computers to student academic and financial records maintained on the Universitys student information system This process is threshold compliant and these data are contained in curriculum checklists which clearly specify graduation andor certification requirements and are included in each music majors folio along with a current transcript and other documents pertaining to their academic progress Students repertory studied and performances are recorded at the end of each semester on the Applied Music Record form Faculty members have immediate access to most student records via their personal computers

Digital recording resources are in place in Bradford Hall Auditorium nevertheless no policy is in place to require the recording and maintenance of audio andor video tape recordings for an archival record of a students performance of the junior or senior recital Any audio andor video recording that takes place is usually effected through the efforts of the individual applied instructors or the student

Finally the specific means of assessing our progress on these critical issues are delineated within Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan and specifically detailed below in Section N of the Self-Study

N Evaluation Planning and Projections

The review and evaluation of the Music Unitrsquos current activities and planning to effect needed changes are the primary responsibility of the administrator of the Music Unit (Division of Fine Arts Chairperson) and involve all music faculty and the upper level administrators to whom the Chairperson reports Major structures and activities which provide planning projection of data and threshold compliance are the Music Unit Committee Structure and the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty which includes student evaluations of the music curricular experiences

The music faculty meeting represents the most critical component of the unit structure These meetings occur on an average of two or three times a month On a less regular basis the unit undergoes periodic assessment by outside agencies (such as SACS NASM NCATE) or external evaluators such as the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Educationrsquos Appendix 2 CPE Program Review-Music 2013 and Appendix 9 CPE Program Review -Music-2015 As previously noted within this Self-Study six of the Unitrsquos faculty have been appointed within the last two years and the Music executive ensures familiarity and compliance with these critical expectations through the Appendix 10 Faculty Responsibilities- Expectations And Compliance Policies and the Appendix 8 The Implementation of a Pre-tenure Mentorship and Advisory Council

Music Unit committees report to the Chairperson and to the Unit Faculty The Unit Curriculum Committee and Tenure and Promotion Committee make recommendations through the Chairperson and the Provost to the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee and to the University Tenure and Promotion Committee respectively The activities of these two committees are governed by University policies the Curriculum Committee by the Faculty Senate Constitution and the Tenure and Promotion Committee by Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion

Page 13 of 60

Unit faculty members meeting as a committee of the whole debate and make decisions in areas such as the academic program recruitment of students planning events and so forth Specific issues are advanced and discussed and the entire faculty always participates in major projects or initiatives such as this or any other self-study In other areas individual faculty members assist the chairperson with specific assignments On the whole our discussion of issues include the current status and the specific factors contributing to that status (evaluation) the necessary changes to bring about the desired future improvements (planning) and the metrics and trajectories that will demonstrate the attainment of those improvements (projections)

The evaluation of student achievement is facilitated in several ways which are further delineated within Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 and especially most recently Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 The Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination recitals keyboard proficiency assessments and Unit juries provide data on knowledge and skills acquired in music Surveys of graduates provide additional information on the relationship between quality of instruction and the music curriculum with success in post-graduate employment Correlation of these data and data from external evaluations are conducted by the Music executive Such overall assessments are generally presented to the music faculty acting as a committee of the whole These data become the basis for future planning

The main opportunity available to the Unitrsquos students to formally evaluate their curricular experiences is the Student Evaluation of Instruction which is further detailed on the next page of the Self-Study Additionally the evaluation of Unit faculty is facilitated by the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty and the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks

The Music Unit is guided by a newly (2015) developed Strategic Plan that embraces KSUrsquos rich history traditions and diversity in preparing our students for careers as practicing artists educators and performers Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan are provided as evidence of the Unitrsquos efforts and threshold compliance with the standards of this section of the Self-Study

The Music executive aggressively engaged all key stakeholders in a yearlong pursuit of the present long-term strategic plan That involvement was pursued in a critical effort to articulate and capture perceptual data from all key stakeholders ie our students faculty staff and alumni as they regard perceived Unit strengths weaknesses threats and opportunities We engaged our key stakeholders in this process since the efficacy of these efforts remain highly dependent on programmatic ownership

SWOT Analyses commenced in September of 2014 when formal surveys were administered to all key stakeholders seeking their vital perceptions and opinions The item responses of those surveys were tabulated commentary was aggregated and specific thematic trends were identified The Music executive pursued a yearlong period of observations in an effort to either validate or invalidate the themes that arose from the environmental scan The

Page 14 of 60

thematic trends that were validated through direct observation subsequently fully informed the construction and development of specific Goals Objectives and Strategic Priorities

The resulting Strategic Plan evolved from the unique value and positioning of Kentucky State University and the Music Unit moves to marketing communication and exemplary engagement as recruitment and retention mechanisms and finally addresses longstanding programmatic issues We view this as an integrated approach starting with each individual associated with the Unit and ending with a systematic view of all functions that make up the Unit and its programs

Our immediate vision has been aligned with the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks and seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices The Unit is additionally pursuing programmatic and curricular revisions which will maximize efficiency in matriculation and time-to-degree while expanding the latitude of options for meeting student competencies and proficiencies within the context of current accreditations Whether through presentations such as concerts recitals productions exhibitions lectures or workshops our global focus seeks to advance an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

Provided immediately below are the resulting Unit Goals with selective assessment commentary on the Unitrsquos current progress

GOAL 1 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Teaching Learning and Assessment

Unit faculty pursued the exhaustive development of Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes These outcomes are designed to better document the Unitrsquos evaluation of student achievement and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are aligned with the essential student competencies articulated by NASM NCATE and the institutional Appendix 11 Liberal Studies Core Essential Competencies

Unit faculty are subsequently utilizing Blackboard and Live Text to implement appropriate assessment modules as a means of assessing student achievement as it regards our SLOs and which are delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Faculty document the development and implementation of at least one major assessment project for each course of instruction and disseminate those assessments within the Annual Self Evaluation Form SES 1

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit I1 Music at Kentucky State University Website Unit faculty have significantly infused global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices a primary theme that resulted from our SWOT analyses We have implemented three additional Commercial ensembles and revitalized our elective courses in Jazz and African American Music

Page 15 of 60

Finally regarding Student Evaluations of Instruction the Unit has this year abandoned the more traditional opinion survey and migrated to the use of the IDEA assessment systems This change resulted from our observation that the previous survey instrument did little to measure teaching effectiveness nor to advance the improvement of instruction Exhibit E7 An Analysis and Critique of the Methods of Student Evaluation of Faculty pp 1-3 clearly delineates our rationale for doing so Moreover the primary benefit of this platform is that it requires the alignment of all questions or inquiries with specific student learning goals that are identified by each individual faculty member

GOAL 2 Implement intrusive recruitment strategies that will ensure a representative community of aspiring scholars artists and musicians

The Unit has developed and implemented Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures and Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting to immediately advance our recruitment and retention efforts Faculty are additionally implementing the EAB Campus Student Success Collaborative as an intrusive mode of student engagement Progress reports are generated throughout each semester for each student in each class under their instruction The impact of these innovations has been immediate as the Unit has exceeded its recruitment targets for the current year and expanded our first to second year retention rate to over 60

GOAL 3 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Scholarship Performance and Creative Activity

As is delineated within Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 the frequency and quality of performance seminars and recitals have doubled over the past two years Likewise Unit faculty creative activities have significantly increased as delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae

GOAL 4 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Service and Professional Development

As delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae Unit faculty service and professional development activities have significantly increased

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses In addition to the requirements of the students major field of study Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University The Liberal Studies Requirements are divided into two parts The General Core Requirements and the Integrative Studies Requirements

The previous 2006 Self-Study expressed legitimate concerns that the high credit hour requirement for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements consistently jeopardized new student recruitment efforts as well as placed additional burden on students matriculating through the Bachelor of Music degree program Two occurrences have mitigated those legitimate concerns and vastly improved the time-to-degree prospects for those students majoring in Music First the University has subsequently reviewed the Liberal Studies General Core and Integrative Studies Requirements and fully implemented the changes necessary to decrease those requirements for specific majors including Music

Second the university has mandated that all degree programs strictly adhere to a maximum of 120 credit hours for all baccalaureate degrees While this latter occurrence has necessitated critical curricular and experiential revisions they have required that the Unit approach threshold compliance from the perspective of meeting competencies through a variety on means and experiences as opposed to specifically designated courses Subsequent to the latter occurrence the Unit reorganized common courses within our degree options into a Music Core Curriculummdashwith instrumental keyboard and vocal major tracks

The implementation of various ldquoSpecializationsrdquo within the ldquoBachelor of Musicrdquo degree option represents a related by product of that curricular reorganization That strategy was

Page 17 of 60

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

IIA2 All Professional Baccalaureate Degrees in MusicmdashCommon Body of Knowledge and Skills Evaluation of the Development of Competencies

1 Performance

The Music Unit is committed to the highest possible standards in its performance areas Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi delineates various curricular and experiential processes that are designed to ensure threshold compliance with expected competencies The Music Theory Placement Examination and the Piano Placement Examination further delineated in the Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency are administered to determine the studentrsquos level of entry into the music theory and piano sequences respectively

General descriptions of the Unitrsquos performance evaluation policies and procedures are published in the Exhibit A1 Bachelor of Music KSU 2016 Catalogue pp157-158 and the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 Spec

All music majors are required to successfully complete applied performance courses and an accompanying performance laboratory each semester except for music education students during the semester in which they complete student teaching Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes fully informs all the Units performance curricula experiences and practices

Instrumental majors (wind brass percussion) must demonstrate mastery of the specific performance skills knowledge and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study

Page 18 of 60

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

4 History and Repertory

The Music Unit is committed to providing its students and the University community with a variety of musical experiences that are reflective of diverse stylistic historical and cultural traditions The Unit offers specific courses in music history and music literature that are designed to provide students with opportunities to study and examine such stylistic historical and cultural

Page 20 of 60

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

5 Synthesis

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

As such music majors at Kentucky State University demonstrate a synthesis of their musical study through numerous requirements and activities For example in the music theory sequence students must relate to music literature from a wide variety of musical periods and styles in several different ways historically analytically aurally and compositionally Moreover the Sophomore Proficiency applied music juries course examinations and Junior and Senior Recitals all provide opportunities to assess students abilities to synthesize their musical and educational experiences

IIA3 Teacher Education Programs

The Music Education Specialization is offered in conjunction with the School of Education Kentucky State Universityrsquos undergraduate Music Education program prepares prospective music teachers for the Kentucky teacher certification in music K-12 Students acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in pedagogy music theory musical performance history and literature to earn the Bachelor of Music Education credentials

The Unitrsquos process for selecting supervising and cooperating teachers and sites is dictated by standards and procedures established by the Education Professional Standards Board and delineated within Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching This administrative regulation describes the special requirements for certification that affect the teacher training program in music education and establishes the

Page 21 of 60

standards for admission placement and supervision in student teaching within the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The institutionrsquos educator preparation program selects clinical faculty member to serve as the University Supervisor according to the guidelines delineated within the Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching Cooperating teachers are teachers employed in a public school or a nonpublic school which meets the state performance standards as established in KRS 156160 or which has been accredited by a regional or national accrediting association who is contracting with an educator preparation institution to supervise a student teacher for the purpose of fulfilling the student teaching requirement of the approved educator preparation program The quality of cooperating schools remains high while the variety of placements is limited and primarily influenced by the requirements outlined immediately above

Music Education candidates must interact with school personnel and parents in tutorial assignments field and clinical experiences and supervised teaching The Music Unit ensures collaboration with the professional community through several initiatives Unit faculty members also collaborate with public school music educators in the provision of field and clinical experiences Additionally candidates collaborate with each other in completing and implementing various laboratory and course assignments

One of the significant aspects of the music education program is the low teacher-to-student ratio and the resulting high level of personal attention students receive With small classes professors are able to know each student especially regarding academic and musical strengths and weaknesses motivation and professional goals In such an environment aspects such as field activities are tailored to the needs of the individual student

One Music Unit faculty representative serves on the Teacher Education Committee and has primary responsibility to monitor the progress of Unit candidates The advisor is assigned one-quarter time to the education unit and advises music Education majors teaches methods of music courses and observes candidates in their supervised teaching As a member of the Teacher Education Committee and the education unit the advisor is informed about the performance of each candidate on all criteria in the Continuous Assessment Plan As a member of the music faculty the advisor is also informed about the progress of each candidate in satisfactorily completing the required music courses

As delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Music education candidates are well grounded in content knowledge displaying basic music competencies essential to teaching music in addition to a broad knowledge acquired through general studies Students are prohibited from concurrent enrollment during student teaching and Unit candidates complete a 12 credit hour dual placement at the primary and the secondary levels which include observation and practice of lesson planning classroom teaching classroom management and assessment of learning under the guidance of the supervising teacher and a university supervisor They additionally synthesize content theory

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

N Evaluation Planning and Projections

The review and evaluation of the Music Unitrsquos current activities and planning to effect needed changes are the primary responsibility of the administrator of the Music Unit (Division of Fine Arts Chairperson) and involve all music faculty and the upper level administrators to whom the Chairperson reports Major structures and activities which provide planning projection of data and threshold compliance are the Music Unit Committee Structure and the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty which includes student evaluations of the music curricular experiences

The music faculty meeting represents the most critical component of the unit structure These meetings occur on an average of two or three times a month On a less regular basis the unit undergoes periodic assessment by outside agencies (such as SACS NASM NCATE) or external evaluators such as the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Educationrsquos Appendix 2 CPE Program Review-Music 2013 and Appendix 9 CPE Program Review -Music-2015 As previously noted within this Self-Study six of the Unitrsquos faculty have been appointed within the last two years and the Music executive ensures familiarity and compliance with these critical expectations through the Appendix 10 Faculty Responsibilities- Expectations And Compliance Policies and the Appendix 8 The Implementation of a Pre-tenure Mentorship and Advisory Council

Music Unit committees report to the Chairperson and to the Unit Faculty The Unit Curriculum Committee and Tenure and Promotion Committee make recommendations through the Chairperson and the Provost to the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee and to the University Tenure and Promotion Committee respectively The activities of these two committees are governed by University policies the Curriculum Committee by the Faculty Senate Constitution and the Tenure and Promotion Committee by Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion

Page 13 of 60

Unit faculty members meeting as a committee of the whole debate and make decisions in areas such as the academic program recruitment of students planning events and so forth Specific issues are advanced and discussed and the entire faculty always participates in major projects or initiatives such as this or any other self-study In other areas individual faculty members assist the chairperson with specific assignments On the whole our discussion of issues include the current status and the specific factors contributing to that status (evaluation) the necessary changes to bring about the desired future improvements (planning) and the metrics and trajectories that will demonstrate the attainment of those improvements (projections)

The evaluation of student achievement is facilitated in several ways which are further delineated within Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 and especially most recently Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 The Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination recitals keyboard proficiency assessments and Unit juries provide data on knowledge and skills acquired in music Surveys of graduates provide additional information on the relationship between quality of instruction and the music curriculum with success in post-graduate employment Correlation of these data and data from external evaluations are conducted by the Music executive Such overall assessments are generally presented to the music faculty acting as a committee of the whole These data become the basis for future planning

The main opportunity available to the Unitrsquos students to formally evaluate their curricular experiences is the Student Evaluation of Instruction which is further detailed on the next page of the Self-Study Additionally the evaluation of Unit faculty is facilitated by the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty and the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks

The Music Unit is guided by a newly (2015) developed Strategic Plan that embraces KSUrsquos rich history traditions and diversity in preparing our students for careers as practicing artists educators and performers Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan are provided as evidence of the Unitrsquos efforts and threshold compliance with the standards of this section of the Self-Study

The Music executive aggressively engaged all key stakeholders in a yearlong pursuit of the present long-term strategic plan That involvement was pursued in a critical effort to articulate and capture perceptual data from all key stakeholders ie our students faculty staff and alumni as they regard perceived Unit strengths weaknesses threats and opportunities We engaged our key stakeholders in this process since the efficacy of these efforts remain highly dependent on programmatic ownership

SWOT Analyses commenced in September of 2014 when formal surveys were administered to all key stakeholders seeking their vital perceptions and opinions The item responses of those surveys were tabulated commentary was aggregated and specific thematic trends were identified The Music executive pursued a yearlong period of observations in an effort to either validate or invalidate the themes that arose from the environmental scan The

Page 14 of 60

thematic trends that were validated through direct observation subsequently fully informed the construction and development of specific Goals Objectives and Strategic Priorities

The resulting Strategic Plan evolved from the unique value and positioning of Kentucky State University and the Music Unit moves to marketing communication and exemplary engagement as recruitment and retention mechanisms and finally addresses longstanding programmatic issues We view this as an integrated approach starting with each individual associated with the Unit and ending with a systematic view of all functions that make up the Unit and its programs

Our immediate vision has been aligned with the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks and seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices The Unit is additionally pursuing programmatic and curricular revisions which will maximize efficiency in matriculation and time-to-degree while expanding the latitude of options for meeting student competencies and proficiencies within the context of current accreditations Whether through presentations such as concerts recitals productions exhibitions lectures or workshops our global focus seeks to advance an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

Provided immediately below are the resulting Unit Goals with selective assessment commentary on the Unitrsquos current progress

GOAL 1 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Teaching Learning and Assessment

Unit faculty pursued the exhaustive development of Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes These outcomes are designed to better document the Unitrsquos evaluation of student achievement and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are aligned with the essential student competencies articulated by NASM NCATE and the institutional Appendix 11 Liberal Studies Core Essential Competencies

Unit faculty are subsequently utilizing Blackboard and Live Text to implement appropriate assessment modules as a means of assessing student achievement as it regards our SLOs and which are delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Faculty document the development and implementation of at least one major assessment project for each course of instruction and disseminate those assessments within the Annual Self Evaluation Form SES 1

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit I1 Music at Kentucky State University Website Unit faculty have significantly infused global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices a primary theme that resulted from our SWOT analyses We have implemented three additional Commercial ensembles and revitalized our elective courses in Jazz and African American Music

Page 15 of 60

Finally regarding Student Evaluations of Instruction the Unit has this year abandoned the more traditional opinion survey and migrated to the use of the IDEA assessment systems This change resulted from our observation that the previous survey instrument did little to measure teaching effectiveness nor to advance the improvement of instruction Exhibit E7 An Analysis and Critique of the Methods of Student Evaluation of Faculty pp 1-3 clearly delineates our rationale for doing so Moreover the primary benefit of this platform is that it requires the alignment of all questions or inquiries with specific student learning goals that are identified by each individual faculty member

GOAL 2 Implement intrusive recruitment strategies that will ensure a representative community of aspiring scholars artists and musicians

The Unit has developed and implemented Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures and Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting to immediately advance our recruitment and retention efforts Faculty are additionally implementing the EAB Campus Student Success Collaborative as an intrusive mode of student engagement Progress reports are generated throughout each semester for each student in each class under their instruction The impact of these innovations has been immediate as the Unit has exceeded its recruitment targets for the current year and expanded our first to second year retention rate to over 60

GOAL 3 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Scholarship Performance and Creative Activity

As is delineated within Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 the frequency and quality of performance seminars and recitals have doubled over the past two years Likewise Unit faculty creative activities have significantly increased as delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae

GOAL 4 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Service and Professional Development

As delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae Unit faculty service and professional development activities have significantly increased

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses In addition to the requirements of the students major field of study Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University The Liberal Studies Requirements are divided into two parts The General Core Requirements and the Integrative Studies Requirements

The previous 2006 Self-Study expressed legitimate concerns that the high credit hour requirement for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements consistently jeopardized new student recruitment efforts as well as placed additional burden on students matriculating through the Bachelor of Music degree program Two occurrences have mitigated those legitimate concerns and vastly improved the time-to-degree prospects for those students majoring in Music First the University has subsequently reviewed the Liberal Studies General Core and Integrative Studies Requirements and fully implemented the changes necessary to decrease those requirements for specific majors including Music

Second the university has mandated that all degree programs strictly adhere to a maximum of 120 credit hours for all baccalaureate degrees While this latter occurrence has necessitated critical curricular and experiential revisions they have required that the Unit approach threshold compliance from the perspective of meeting competencies through a variety on means and experiences as opposed to specifically designated courses Subsequent to the latter occurrence the Unit reorganized common courses within our degree options into a Music Core Curriculummdashwith instrumental keyboard and vocal major tracks

The implementation of various ldquoSpecializationsrdquo within the ldquoBachelor of Musicrdquo degree option represents a related by product of that curricular reorganization That strategy was

Page 17 of 60

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

1 Performance

The Music Unit is committed to the highest possible standards in its performance areas Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi delineates various curricular and experiential processes that are designed to ensure threshold compliance with expected competencies The Music Theory Placement Examination and the Piano Placement Examination further delineated in the Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency are administered to determine the studentrsquos level of entry into the music theory and piano sequences respectively

General descriptions of the Unitrsquos performance evaluation policies and procedures are published in the Exhibit A1 Bachelor of Music KSU 2016 Catalogue pp157-158 and the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 Spec

All music majors are required to successfully complete applied performance courses and an accompanying performance laboratory each semester except for music education students during the semester in which they complete student teaching Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes fully informs all the Units performance curricula experiences and practices

Instrumental majors (wind brass percussion) must demonstrate mastery of the specific performance skills knowledge and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study

Page 18 of 60

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

4 History and Repertory

The Music Unit is committed to providing its students and the University community with a variety of musical experiences that are reflective of diverse stylistic historical and cultural traditions The Unit offers specific courses in music history and music literature that are designed to provide students with opportunities to study and examine such stylistic historical and cultural

Page 20 of 60

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

5 Synthesis

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

As such music majors at Kentucky State University demonstrate a synthesis of their musical study through numerous requirements and activities For example in the music theory sequence students must relate to music literature from a wide variety of musical periods and styles in several different ways historically analytically aurally and compositionally Moreover the Sophomore Proficiency applied music juries course examinations and Junior and Senior Recitals all provide opportunities to assess students abilities to synthesize their musical and educational experiences

IIA3 Teacher Education Programs

The Music Education Specialization is offered in conjunction with the School of Education Kentucky State Universityrsquos undergraduate Music Education program prepares prospective music teachers for the Kentucky teacher certification in music K-12 Students acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in pedagogy music theory musical performance history and literature to earn the Bachelor of Music Education credentials

The Unitrsquos process for selecting supervising and cooperating teachers and sites is dictated by standards and procedures established by the Education Professional Standards Board and delineated within Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching This administrative regulation describes the special requirements for certification that affect the teacher training program in music education and establishes the

Page 21 of 60

standards for admission placement and supervision in student teaching within the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The institutionrsquos educator preparation program selects clinical faculty member to serve as the University Supervisor according to the guidelines delineated within the Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching Cooperating teachers are teachers employed in a public school or a nonpublic school which meets the state performance standards as established in KRS 156160 or which has been accredited by a regional or national accrediting association who is contracting with an educator preparation institution to supervise a student teacher for the purpose of fulfilling the student teaching requirement of the approved educator preparation program The quality of cooperating schools remains high while the variety of placements is limited and primarily influenced by the requirements outlined immediately above

Music Education candidates must interact with school personnel and parents in tutorial assignments field and clinical experiences and supervised teaching The Music Unit ensures collaboration with the professional community through several initiatives Unit faculty members also collaborate with public school music educators in the provision of field and clinical experiences Additionally candidates collaborate with each other in completing and implementing various laboratory and course assignments

One of the significant aspects of the music education program is the low teacher-to-student ratio and the resulting high level of personal attention students receive With small classes professors are able to know each student especially regarding academic and musical strengths and weaknesses motivation and professional goals In such an environment aspects such as field activities are tailored to the needs of the individual student

One Music Unit faculty representative serves on the Teacher Education Committee and has primary responsibility to monitor the progress of Unit candidates The advisor is assigned one-quarter time to the education unit and advises music Education majors teaches methods of music courses and observes candidates in their supervised teaching As a member of the Teacher Education Committee and the education unit the advisor is informed about the performance of each candidate on all criteria in the Continuous Assessment Plan As a member of the music faculty the advisor is also informed about the progress of each candidate in satisfactorily completing the required music courses

As delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Music education candidates are well grounded in content knowledge displaying basic music competencies essential to teaching music in addition to a broad knowledge acquired through general studies Students are prohibited from concurrent enrollment during student teaching and Unit candidates complete a 12 credit hour dual placement at the primary and the secondary levels which include observation and practice of lesson planning classroom teaching classroom management and assessment of learning under the guidance of the supervising teacher and a university supervisor They additionally synthesize content theory

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

N Evaluation Planning and Projections

The review and evaluation of the Music Unitrsquos current activities and planning to effect needed changes are the primary responsibility of the administrator of the Music Unit (Division of Fine Arts Chairperson) and involve all music faculty and the upper level administrators to whom the Chairperson reports Major structures and activities which provide planning projection of data and threshold compliance are the Music Unit Committee Structure and the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty which includes student evaluations of the music curricular experiences

The music faculty meeting represents the most critical component of the unit structure These meetings occur on an average of two or three times a month On a less regular basis the unit undergoes periodic assessment by outside agencies (such as SACS NASM NCATE) or external evaluators such as the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Educationrsquos Appendix 2 CPE Program Review-Music 2013 and Appendix 9 CPE Program Review -Music-2015 As previously noted within this Self-Study six of the Unitrsquos faculty have been appointed within the last two years and the Music executive ensures familiarity and compliance with these critical expectations through the Appendix 10 Faculty Responsibilities- Expectations And Compliance Policies and the Appendix 8 The Implementation of a Pre-tenure Mentorship and Advisory Council

Music Unit committees report to the Chairperson and to the Unit Faculty The Unit Curriculum Committee and Tenure and Promotion Committee make recommendations through the Chairperson and the Provost to the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee and to the University Tenure and Promotion Committee respectively The activities of these two committees are governed by University policies the Curriculum Committee by the Faculty Senate Constitution and the Tenure and Promotion Committee by Exhibit E4 Policy on Appointment Rank Tenure and Promotion

Unit faculty members meeting as a committee of the whole debate and make decisions in areas such as the academic program recruitment of students planning events and so forth Specific issues are advanced and discussed and the entire faculty always participates in major projects or initiatives such as this or any other self-study In other areas individual faculty members assist the chairperson with specific assignments On the whole our discussion of issues include the current status and the specific factors contributing to that status (evaluation) the necessary changes to bring about the desired future improvements (planning) and the metrics and trajectories that will demonstrate the attainment of those improvements (projections)

The evaluation of student achievement is facilitated in several ways which are further delineated within Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 and especially most recently Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 The Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination recitals keyboard proficiency assessments and Unit juries provide data on knowledge and skills acquired in music Surveys of graduates provide additional information on the relationship between quality of instruction and the music curriculum with success in post-graduate employment Correlation of these data and data from external evaluations are conducted by the Music executive Such overall assessments are generally presented to the music faculty acting as a committee of the whole These data become the basis for future planning

The main opportunity available to the Unitrsquos students to formally evaluate their curricular experiences is the Student Evaluation of Instruction which is further detailed on the next page of the Self-Study Additionally the evaluation of Unit faculty is facilitated by the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty and the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks

The Music Unit is guided by a newly (2015) developed Strategic Plan that embraces KSUrsquos rich history traditions and diversity in preparing our students for careers as practicing artists educators and performers Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan are provided as evidence of the Unitrsquos efforts and threshold compliance with the standards of this section of the Self-Study

The Music executive aggressively engaged all key stakeholders in a yearlong pursuit of the present long-term strategic plan That involvement was pursued in a critical effort to articulate and capture perceptual data from all key stakeholders ie our students faculty staff and alumni as they regard perceived Unit strengths weaknesses threats and opportunities We engaged our key stakeholders in this process since the efficacy of these efforts remain highly dependent on programmatic ownership

SWOT Analyses commenced in September of 2014 when formal surveys were administered to all key stakeholders seeking their vital perceptions and opinions The item responses of those surveys were tabulated commentary was aggregated and specific thematic trends were identified The Music executive pursued a yearlong period of observations in an effort to either validate or invalidate the themes that arose from the environmental scan The

Page 14 of 60

thematic trends that were validated through direct observation subsequently fully informed the construction and development of specific Goals Objectives and Strategic Priorities

The resulting Strategic Plan evolved from the unique value and positioning of Kentucky State University and the Music Unit moves to marketing communication and exemplary engagement as recruitment and retention mechanisms and finally addresses longstanding programmatic issues We view this as an integrated approach starting with each individual associated with the Unit and ending with a systematic view of all functions that make up the Unit and its programs

Our immediate vision has been aligned with the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks and seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices The Unit is additionally pursuing programmatic and curricular revisions which will maximize efficiency in matriculation and time-to-degree while expanding the latitude of options for meeting student competencies and proficiencies within the context of current accreditations Whether through presentations such as concerts recitals productions exhibitions lectures or workshops our global focus seeks to advance an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

Provided immediately below are the resulting Unit Goals with selective assessment commentary on the Unitrsquos current progress

GOAL 1 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Teaching Learning and Assessment

Unit faculty pursued the exhaustive development of Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes These outcomes are designed to better document the Unitrsquos evaluation of student achievement and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are aligned with the essential student competencies articulated by NASM NCATE and the institutional Appendix 11 Liberal Studies Core Essential Competencies

Unit faculty are subsequently utilizing Blackboard and Live Text to implement appropriate assessment modules as a means of assessing student achievement as it regards our SLOs and which are delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Faculty document the development and implementation of at least one major assessment project for each course of instruction and disseminate those assessments within the Annual Self Evaluation Form SES 1

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit I1 Music at Kentucky State University Website Unit faculty have significantly infused global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices a primary theme that resulted from our SWOT analyses We have implemented three additional Commercial ensembles and revitalized our elective courses in Jazz and African American Music

Page 15 of 60

Finally regarding Student Evaluations of Instruction the Unit has this year abandoned the more traditional opinion survey and migrated to the use of the IDEA assessment systems This change resulted from our observation that the previous survey instrument did little to measure teaching effectiveness nor to advance the improvement of instruction Exhibit E7 An Analysis and Critique of the Methods of Student Evaluation of Faculty pp 1-3 clearly delineates our rationale for doing so Moreover the primary benefit of this platform is that it requires the alignment of all questions or inquiries with specific student learning goals that are identified by each individual faculty member

GOAL 2 Implement intrusive recruitment strategies that will ensure a representative community of aspiring scholars artists and musicians

The Unit has developed and implemented Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures and Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting to immediately advance our recruitment and retention efforts Faculty are additionally implementing the EAB Campus Student Success Collaborative as an intrusive mode of student engagement Progress reports are generated throughout each semester for each student in each class under their instruction The impact of these innovations has been immediate as the Unit has exceeded its recruitment targets for the current year and expanded our first to second year retention rate to over 60

GOAL 3 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Scholarship Performance and Creative Activity

As is delineated within Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 the frequency and quality of performance seminars and recitals have doubled over the past two years Likewise Unit faculty creative activities have significantly increased as delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae

GOAL 4 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Service and Professional Development

As delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae Unit faculty service and professional development activities have significantly increased

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses In addition to the requirements of the students major field of study Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University The Liberal Studies Requirements are divided into two parts The General Core Requirements and the Integrative Studies Requirements

The previous 2006 Self-Study expressed legitimate concerns that the high credit hour requirement for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements consistently jeopardized new student recruitment efforts as well as placed additional burden on students matriculating through the Bachelor of Music degree program Two occurrences have mitigated those legitimate concerns and vastly improved the time-to-degree prospects for those students majoring in Music First the University has subsequently reviewed the Liberal Studies General Core and Integrative Studies Requirements and fully implemented the changes necessary to decrease those requirements for specific majors including Music

Second the university has mandated that all degree programs strictly adhere to a maximum of 120 credit hours for all baccalaureate degrees While this latter occurrence has necessitated critical curricular and experiential revisions they have required that the Unit approach threshold compliance from the perspective of meeting competencies through a variety on means and experiences as opposed to specifically designated courses Subsequent to the latter occurrence the Unit reorganized common courses within our degree options into a Music Core Curriculummdashwith instrumental keyboard and vocal major tracks

The implementation of various ldquoSpecializationsrdquo within the ldquoBachelor of Musicrdquo degree option represents a related by product of that curricular reorganization That strategy was

Page 17 of 60

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

IIA2 All Professional Baccalaureate Degrees in MusicmdashCommon Body of Knowledge and Skills Evaluation of the Development of Competencies

1 Performance

The Music Unit is committed to the highest possible standards in its performance areas Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi delineates various curricular and experiential processes that are designed to ensure threshold compliance with expected competencies The Music Theory Placement Examination and the Piano Placement Examination further delineated in the Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency are administered to determine the studentrsquos level of entry into the music theory and piano sequences respectively

General descriptions of the Unitrsquos performance evaluation policies and procedures are published in the Exhibit A1 Bachelor of Music KSU 2016 Catalogue pp157-158 and the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 Spec

All music majors are required to successfully complete applied performance courses and an accompanying performance laboratory each semester except for music education students during the semester in which they complete student teaching Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes fully informs all the Units performance curricula experiences and practices

Instrumental majors (wind brass percussion) must demonstrate mastery of the specific performance skills knowledge and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study

Page 18 of 60

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

4 History and Repertory

The Music Unit is committed to providing its students and the University community with a variety of musical experiences that are reflective of diverse stylistic historical and cultural traditions The Unit offers specific courses in music history and music literature that are designed to provide students with opportunities to study and examine such stylistic historical and cultural

Page 20 of 60

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

5 Synthesis

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

As such music majors at Kentucky State University demonstrate a synthesis of their musical study through numerous requirements and activities For example in the music theory sequence students must relate to music literature from a wide variety of musical periods and styles in several different ways historically analytically aurally and compositionally Moreover the Sophomore Proficiency applied music juries course examinations and Junior and Senior Recitals all provide opportunities to assess students abilities to synthesize their musical and educational experiences

IIA3 Teacher Education Programs

The Music Education Specialization is offered in conjunction with the School of Education Kentucky State Universityrsquos undergraduate Music Education program prepares prospective music teachers for the Kentucky teacher certification in music K-12 Students acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in pedagogy music theory musical performance history and literature to earn the Bachelor of Music Education credentials

The Unitrsquos process for selecting supervising and cooperating teachers and sites is dictated by standards and procedures established by the Education Professional Standards Board and delineated within Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching This administrative regulation describes the special requirements for certification that affect the teacher training program in music education and establishes the

Page 21 of 60

standards for admission placement and supervision in student teaching within the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The institutionrsquos educator preparation program selects clinical faculty member to serve as the University Supervisor according to the guidelines delineated within the Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching Cooperating teachers are teachers employed in a public school or a nonpublic school which meets the state performance standards as established in KRS 156160 or which has been accredited by a regional or national accrediting association who is contracting with an educator preparation institution to supervise a student teacher for the purpose of fulfilling the student teaching requirement of the approved educator preparation program The quality of cooperating schools remains high while the variety of placements is limited and primarily influenced by the requirements outlined immediately above

Music Education candidates must interact with school personnel and parents in tutorial assignments field and clinical experiences and supervised teaching The Music Unit ensures collaboration with the professional community through several initiatives Unit faculty members also collaborate with public school music educators in the provision of field and clinical experiences Additionally candidates collaborate with each other in completing and implementing various laboratory and course assignments

One of the significant aspects of the music education program is the low teacher-to-student ratio and the resulting high level of personal attention students receive With small classes professors are able to know each student especially regarding academic and musical strengths and weaknesses motivation and professional goals In such an environment aspects such as field activities are tailored to the needs of the individual student

One Music Unit faculty representative serves on the Teacher Education Committee and has primary responsibility to monitor the progress of Unit candidates The advisor is assigned one-quarter time to the education unit and advises music Education majors teaches methods of music courses and observes candidates in their supervised teaching As a member of the Teacher Education Committee and the education unit the advisor is informed about the performance of each candidate on all criteria in the Continuous Assessment Plan As a member of the music faculty the advisor is also informed about the progress of each candidate in satisfactorily completing the required music courses

As delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Music education candidates are well grounded in content knowledge displaying basic music competencies essential to teaching music in addition to a broad knowledge acquired through general studies Students are prohibited from concurrent enrollment during student teaching and Unit candidates complete a 12 credit hour dual placement at the primary and the secondary levels which include observation and practice of lesson planning classroom teaching classroom management and assessment of learning under the guidance of the supervising teacher and a university supervisor They additionally synthesize content theory

Page 36 of 60

A primary goal of the Music Unit is to provide courses and experiences in support of the institutionrsquos Liberal Studies Mission its unique diversity and heritage and the requirements of other academic units for service courses and the Unitrsquos efforts in this area meet and exceed institution-wide aspirations for developing positive values for music

Kentucky State University focuses on liberal studies programming in accordance with its mission and since music is an integral part of the traditional liberal arts curriculum the Music program is considered by Kentucky State University as an essential component of the Universitys mission The Unit provides the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree and a Minor option in Performance both of which are intended for the Kentucky State University student who wishes to study music within a liberal studies framework and use the degree as a foundation for a wide range of career options andor graduate study in music or other academic areas Of the twelve Liberal Studies-based general education learning outcomes required for all students the Music program directly addresses three

1) To recognize and value both the global diversity of cultures by study of Western and non-Western cultures and by study of foreign language and the multicultural nature of American society including the cultural contributions of African Americans (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 6)

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Numerous performances are sponsored by the Frankfort Arts Foundation Through a partnership with Kentucky State University the City of Frankfort Franklin County Fiscal Court and with the support of the Kentucky Arts Council local businesses patron and friends the Frankfort Arts Foundation (FAF) provides an average of some eight subscription concerts each year to the city with performances taking place in Bradford Hall of Kentucky State University The FAF also sponsors Artists in the Schools programs and community master classes This organization is instrumental in bringing a variety of high quality arts programming to the Frankfort community and University students Free admission is provided to students of Kentucky State University and Unit faculty members have and continue to provide their

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

Unit faculty members meeting as a committee of the whole debate and make decisions in areas such as the academic program recruitment of students planning events and so forth Specific issues are advanced and discussed and the entire faculty always participates in major projects or initiatives such as this or any other self-study In other areas individual faculty members assist the chairperson with specific assignments On the whole our discussion of issues include the current status and the specific factors contributing to that status (evaluation) the necessary changes to bring about the desired future improvements (planning) and the metrics and trajectories that will demonstrate the attainment of those improvements (projections)

The evaluation of student achievement is facilitated in several ways which are further delineated within Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 and especially most recently Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 The Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination recitals keyboard proficiency assessments and Unit juries provide data on knowledge and skills acquired in music Surveys of graduates provide additional information on the relationship between quality of instruction and the music curriculum with success in post-graduate employment Correlation of these data and data from external evaluations are conducted by the Music executive Such overall assessments are generally presented to the music faculty acting as a committee of the whole These data become the basis for future planning

The main opportunity available to the Unitrsquos students to formally evaluate their curricular experiences is the Student Evaluation of Instruction which is further detailed on the next page of the Self-Study Additionally the evaluation of Unit faculty is facilitated by the Appendix 6 Comprehensive Evaluation System for Faculty and the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks

The Music Unit is guided by a newly (2015) developed Strategic Plan that embraces KSUrsquos rich history traditions and diversity in preparing our students for careers as practicing artists educators and performers Exhibit E1b DOFA 2015-2021 STRATEGIC PLAN and the Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan are provided as evidence of the Unitrsquos efforts and threshold compliance with the standards of this section of the Self-Study

The Music executive aggressively engaged all key stakeholders in a yearlong pursuit of the present long-term strategic plan That involvement was pursued in a critical effort to articulate and capture perceptual data from all key stakeholders ie our students faculty staff and alumni as they regard perceived Unit strengths weaknesses threats and opportunities We engaged our key stakeholders in this process since the efficacy of these efforts remain highly dependent on programmatic ownership

SWOT Analyses commenced in September of 2014 when formal surveys were administered to all key stakeholders seeking their vital perceptions and opinions The item responses of those surveys were tabulated commentary was aggregated and specific thematic trends were identified The Music executive pursued a yearlong period of observations in an effort to either validate or invalidate the themes that arose from the environmental scan The

Page 14 of 60

thematic trends that were validated through direct observation subsequently fully informed the construction and development of specific Goals Objectives and Strategic Priorities

The resulting Strategic Plan evolved from the unique value and positioning of Kentucky State University and the Music Unit moves to marketing communication and exemplary engagement as recruitment and retention mechanisms and finally addresses longstanding programmatic issues We view this as an integrated approach starting with each individual associated with the Unit and ending with a systematic view of all functions that make up the Unit and its programs

Our immediate vision has been aligned with the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks and seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices The Unit is additionally pursuing programmatic and curricular revisions which will maximize efficiency in matriculation and time-to-degree while expanding the latitude of options for meeting student competencies and proficiencies within the context of current accreditations Whether through presentations such as concerts recitals productions exhibitions lectures or workshops our global focus seeks to advance an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

Provided immediately below are the resulting Unit Goals with selective assessment commentary on the Unitrsquos current progress

GOAL 1 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Teaching Learning and Assessment

Unit faculty pursued the exhaustive development of Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes These outcomes are designed to better document the Unitrsquos evaluation of student achievement and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are aligned with the essential student competencies articulated by NASM NCATE and the institutional Appendix 11 Liberal Studies Core Essential Competencies

Unit faculty are subsequently utilizing Blackboard and Live Text to implement appropriate assessment modules as a means of assessing student achievement as it regards our SLOs and which are delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Faculty document the development and implementation of at least one major assessment project for each course of instruction and disseminate those assessments within the Annual Self Evaluation Form SES 1

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit I1 Music at Kentucky State University Website Unit faculty have significantly infused global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices a primary theme that resulted from our SWOT analyses We have implemented three additional Commercial ensembles and revitalized our elective courses in Jazz and African American Music

Page 15 of 60

Finally regarding Student Evaluations of Instruction the Unit has this year abandoned the more traditional opinion survey and migrated to the use of the IDEA assessment systems This change resulted from our observation that the previous survey instrument did little to measure teaching effectiveness nor to advance the improvement of instruction Exhibit E7 An Analysis and Critique of the Methods of Student Evaluation of Faculty pp 1-3 clearly delineates our rationale for doing so Moreover the primary benefit of this platform is that it requires the alignment of all questions or inquiries with specific student learning goals that are identified by each individual faculty member

GOAL 2 Implement intrusive recruitment strategies that will ensure a representative community of aspiring scholars artists and musicians

The Unit has developed and implemented Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures and Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting to immediately advance our recruitment and retention efforts Faculty are additionally implementing the EAB Campus Student Success Collaborative as an intrusive mode of student engagement Progress reports are generated throughout each semester for each student in each class under their instruction The impact of these innovations has been immediate as the Unit has exceeded its recruitment targets for the current year and expanded our first to second year retention rate to over 60

GOAL 3 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Scholarship Performance and Creative Activity

As is delineated within Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 the frequency and quality of performance seminars and recitals have doubled over the past two years Likewise Unit faculty creative activities have significantly increased as delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae

GOAL 4 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Service and Professional Development

As delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae Unit faculty service and professional development activities have significantly increased

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses In addition to the requirements of the students major field of study Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University The Liberal Studies Requirements are divided into two parts The General Core Requirements and the Integrative Studies Requirements

The previous 2006 Self-Study expressed legitimate concerns that the high credit hour requirement for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements consistently jeopardized new student recruitment efforts as well as placed additional burden on students matriculating through the Bachelor of Music degree program Two occurrences have mitigated those legitimate concerns and vastly improved the time-to-degree prospects for those students majoring in Music First the University has subsequently reviewed the Liberal Studies General Core and Integrative Studies Requirements and fully implemented the changes necessary to decrease those requirements for specific majors including Music

Second the university has mandated that all degree programs strictly adhere to a maximum of 120 credit hours for all baccalaureate degrees While this latter occurrence has necessitated critical curricular and experiential revisions they have required that the Unit approach threshold compliance from the perspective of meeting competencies through a variety on means and experiences as opposed to specifically designated courses Subsequent to the latter occurrence the Unit reorganized common courses within our degree options into a Music Core Curriculummdashwith instrumental keyboard and vocal major tracks

The implementation of various ldquoSpecializationsrdquo within the ldquoBachelor of Musicrdquo degree option represents a related by product of that curricular reorganization That strategy was

Page 17 of 60

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

Page 20 of 60

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

5 Synthesis

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

As such music majors at Kentucky State University demonstrate a synthesis of their musical study through numerous requirements and activities For example in the music theory sequence students must relate to music literature from a wide variety of musical periods and styles in several different ways historically analytically aurally and compositionally Moreover the Sophomore Proficiency applied music juries course examinations and Junior and Senior Recitals all provide opportunities to assess students abilities to synthesize their musical and educational experiences

IIA3 Teacher Education Programs

The Music Education Specialization is offered in conjunction with the School of Education Kentucky State Universityrsquos undergraduate Music Education program prepares prospective music teachers for the Kentucky teacher certification in music K-12 Students acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in pedagogy music theory musical performance history and literature to earn the Bachelor of Music Education credentials

The Unitrsquos process for selecting supervising and cooperating teachers and sites is dictated by standards and procedures established by the Education Professional Standards Board and delineated within Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching This administrative regulation describes the special requirements for certification that affect the teacher training program in music education and establishes the

Page 21 of 60

standards for admission placement and supervision in student teaching within the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The institutionrsquos educator preparation program selects clinical faculty member to serve as the University Supervisor according to the guidelines delineated within the Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching Cooperating teachers are teachers employed in a public school or a nonpublic school which meets the state performance standards as established in KRS 156160 or which has been accredited by a regional or national accrediting association who is contracting with an educator preparation institution to supervise a student teacher for the purpose of fulfilling the student teaching requirement of the approved educator preparation program The quality of cooperating schools remains high while the variety of placements is limited and primarily influenced by the requirements outlined immediately above

Music Education candidates must interact with school personnel and parents in tutorial assignments field and clinical experiences and supervised teaching The Music Unit ensures collaboration with the professional community through several initiatives Unit faculty members also collaborate with public school music educators in the provision of field and clinical experiences Additionally candidates collaborate with each other in completing and implementing various laboratory and course assignments

One of the significant aspects of the music education program is the low teacher-to-student ratio and the resulting high level of personal attention students receive With small classes professors are able to know each student especially regarding academic and musical strengths and weaknesses motivation and professional goals In such an environment aspects such as field activities are tailored to the needs of the individual student

One Music Unit faculty representative serves on the Teacher Education Committee and has primary responsibility to monitor the progress of Unit candidates The advisor is assigned one-quarter time to the education unit and advises music Education majors teaches methods of music courses and observes candidates in their supervised teaching As a member of the Teacher Education Committee and the education unit the advisor is informed about the performance of each candidate on all criteria in the Continuous Assessment Plan As a member of the music faculty the advisor is also informed about the progress of each candidate in satisfactorily completing the required music courses

As delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Music education candidates are well grounded in content knowledge displaying basic music competencies essential to teaching music in addition to a broad knowledge acquired through general studies Students are prohibited from concurrent enrollment during student teaching and Unit candidates complete a 12 credit hour dual placement at the primary and the secondary levels which include observation and practice of lesson planning classroom teaching classroom management and assessment of learning under the guidance of the supervising teacher and a university supervisor They additionally synthesize content theory

Kentucky State University focuses on liberal studies programming in accordance with its mission and since music is an integral part of the traditional liberal arts curriculum the Music program is considered by Kentucky State University as an essential component of the Universitys mission The Unit provides the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree and a Minor option in Performance both of which are intended for the Kentucky State University student who wishes to study music within a liberal studies framework and use the degree as a foundation for a wide range of career options andor graduate study in music or other academic areas Of the twelve Liberal Studies-based general education learning outcomes required for all students the Music program directly addresses three

1) To recognize and value both the global diversity of cultures by study of Western and non-Western cultures and by study of foreign language and the multicultural nature of American society including the cultural contributions of African Americans (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 6)

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Numerous performances are sponsored by the Frankfort Arts Foundation Through a partnership with Kentucky State University the City of Frankfort Franklin County Fiscal Court and with the support of the Kentucky Arts Council local businesses patron and friends the Frankfort Arts Foundation (FAF) provides an average of some eight subscription concerts each year to the city with performances taking place in Bradford Hall of Kentucky State University The FAF also sponsors Artists in the Schools programs and community master classes This organization is instrumental in bringing a variety of high quality arts programming to the Frankfort community and University students Free admission is provided to students of Kentucky State University and Unit faculty members have and continue to provide their

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

thematic trends that were validated through direct observation subsequently fully informed the construction and development of specific Goals Objectives and Strategic Priorities

The resulting Strategic Plan evolved from the unique value and positioning of Kentucky State University and the Music Unit moves to marketing communication and exemplary engagement as recruitment and retention mechanisms and finally addresses longstanding programmatic issues We view this as an integrated approach starting with each individual associated with the Unit and ending with a systematic view of all functions that make up the Unit and its programs

Our immediate vision has been aligned with the Appendix 7 Division of Fine Arts Faculty Performance Benchmarks and seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices The Unit is additionally pursuing programmatic and curricular revisions which will maximize efficiency in matriculation and time-to-degree while expanding the latitude of options for meeting student competencies and proficiencies within the context of current accreditations Whether through presentations such as concerts recitals productions exhibitions lectures or workshops our global focus seeks to advance an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

Provided immediately below are the resulting Unit Goals with selective assessment commentary on the Unitrsquos current progress

GOAL 1 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Teaching Learning and Assessment

Unit faculty pursued the exhaustive development of Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes These outcomes are designed to better document the Unitrsquos evaluation of student achievement and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are aligned with the essential student competencies articulated by NASM NCATE and the institutional Appendix 11 Liberal Studies Core Essential Competencies

Unit faculty are subsequently utilizing Blackboard and Live Text to implement appropriate assessment modules as a means of assessing student achievement as it regards our SLOs and which are delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Faculty document the development and implementation of at least one major assessment project for each course of instruction and disseminate those assessments within the Annual Self Evaluation Form SES 1

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments Exhibit I3 Music Faculty Kentucky State University Department of Music Website and Exhibit I1 Music at Kentucky State University Website Unit faculty have significantly infused global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices a primary theme that resulted from our SWOT analyses We have implemented three additional Commercial ensembles and revitalized our elective courses in Jazz and African American Music

Page 15 of 60

Finally regarding Student Evaluations of Instruction the Unit has this year abandoned the more traditional opinion survey and migrated to the use of the IDEA assessment systems This change resulted from our observation that the previous survey instrument did little to measure teaching effectiveness nor to advance the improvement of instruction Exhibit E7 An Analysis and Critique of the Methods of Student Evaluation of Faculty pp 1-3 clearly delineates our rationale for doing so Moreover the primary benefit of this platform is that it requires the alignment of all questions or inquiries with specific student learning goals that are identified by each individual faculty member

GOAL 2 Implement intrusive recruitment strategies that will ensure a representative community of aspiring scholars artists and musicians

The Unit has developed and implemented Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures and Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting to immediately advance our recruitment and retention efforts Faculty are additionally implementing the EAB Campus Student Success Collaborative as an intrusive mode of student engagement Progress reports are generated throughout each semester for each student in each class under their instruction The impact of these innovations has been immediate as the Unit has exceeded its recruitment targets for the current year and expanded our first to second year retention rate to over 60

GOAL 3 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Scholarship Performance and Creative Activity

As is delineated within Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 the frequency and quality of performance seminars and recitals have doubled over the past two years Likewise Unit faculty creative activities have significantly increased as delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae

GOAL 4 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Service and Professional Development

As delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae Unit faculty service and professional development activities have significantly increased

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses In addition to the requirements of the students major field of study Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University The Liberal Studies Requirements are divided into two parts The General Core Requirements and the Integrative Studies Requirements

The previous 2006 Self-Study expressed legitimate concerns that the high credit hour requirement for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements consistently jeopardized new student recruitment efforts as well as placed additional burden on students matriculating through the Bachelor of Music degree program Two occurrences have mitigated those legitimate concerns and vastly improved the time-to-degree prospects for those students majoring in Music First the University has subsequently reviewed the Liberal Studies General Core and Integrative Studies Requirements and fully implemented the changes necessary to decrease those requirements for specific majors including Music

Second the university has mandated that all degree programs strictly adhere to a maximum of 120 credit hours for all baccalaureate degrees While this latter occurrence has necessitated critical curricular and experiential revisions they have required that the Unit approach threshold compliance from the perspective of meeting competencies through a variety on means and experiences as opposed to specifically designated courses Subsequent to the latter occurrence the Unit reorganized common courses within our degree options into a Music Core Curriculummdashwith instrumental keyboard and vocal major tracks

The implementation of various ldquoSpecializationsrdquo within the ldquoBachelor of Musicrdquo degree option represents a related by product of that curricular reorganization That strategy was

Page 17 of 60

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

One semester credit hour generally represents one clock hour of recitation or lecture or two clock hours of laboratory per week for one semester for most University courses Credit requirements for music coursesmdashMUA Music Applied MUC MusicClass Instruction MUE Music Education MUP Music Performance Ensemble and MUS Music are in accordance with NASM standards and are published in the Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue pp 407-417 In granting course credit to transfer students Kentucky State University maintains academic policies that assure that the overall educational experiences of transferring students are equivalent in quality and content to those provided by KSU and these policies are published in the Exhibit A1 Transfer Policies KSU 2016 Catalogue p57

IIA2 All Professional Baccalaureate Degrees in MusicmdashCommon Body of Knowledge and Skills Evaluation of the Development of Competencies

1 Performance

The Music Unit is committed to the highest possible standards in its performance areas Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi delineates various curricular and experiential processes that are designed to ensure threshold compliance with expected competencies The Music Theory Placement Examination and the Piano Placement Examination further delineated in the Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency are administered to determine the studentrsquos level of entry into the music theory and piano sequences respectively

General descriptions of the Unitrsquos performance evaluation policies and procedures are published in the Exhibit A1 Bachelor of Music KSU 2016 Catalogue pp157-158 and the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 Spec

All music majors are required to successfully complete applied performance courses and an accompanying performance laboratory each semester except for music education students during the semester in which they complete student teaching Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes fully informs all the Units performance curricula experiences and practices

Instrumental majors (wind brass percussion) must demonstrate mastery of the specific performance skills knowledge and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study

Page 18 of 60

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

4 History and Repertory

The Music Unit is committed to providing its students and the University community with a variety of musical experiences that are reflective of diverse stylistic historical and cultural traditions The Unit offers specific courses in music history and music literature that are designed to provide students with opportunities to study and examine such stylistic historical and cultural

Page 20 of 60

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

5 Synthesis

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

As such music majors at Kentucky State University demonstrate a synthesis of their musical study through numerous requirements and activities For example in the music theory sequence students must relate to music literature from a wide variety of musical periods and styles in several different ways historically analytically aurally and compositionally Moreover the Sophomore Proficiency applied music juries course examinations and Junior and Senior Recitals all provide opportunities to assess students abilities to synthesize their musical and educational experiences

IIA3 Teacher Education Programs

The Music Education Specialization is offered in conjunction with the School of Education Kentucky State Universityrsquos undergraduate Music Education program prepares prospective music teachers for the Kentucky teacher certification in music K-12 Students acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in pedagogy music theory musical performance history and literature to earn the Bachelor of Music Education credentials

The Unitrsquos process for selecting supervising and cooperating teachers and sites is dictated by standards and procedures established by the Education Professional Standards Board and delineated within Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching This administrative regulation describes the special requirements for certification that affect the teacher training program in music education and establishes the

Page 21 of 60

standards for admission placement and supervision in student teaching within the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The institutionrsquos educator preparation program selects clinical faculty member to serve as the University Supervisor according to the guidelines delineated within the Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching Cooperating teachers are teachers employed in a public school or a nonpublic school which meets the state performance standards as established in KRS 156160 or which has been accredited by a regional or national accrediting association who is contracting with an educator preparation institution to supervise a student teacher for the purpose of fulfilling the student teaching requirement of the approved educator preparation program The quality of cooperating schools remains high while the variety of placements is limited and primarily influenced by the requirements outlined immediately above

Music Education candidates must interact with school personnel and parents in tutorial assignments field and clinical experiences and supervised teaching The Music Unit ensures collaboration with the professional community through several initiatives Unit faculty members also collaborate with public school music educators in the provision of field and clinical experiences Additionally candidates collaborate with each other in completing and implementing various laboratory and course assignments

One of the significant aspects of the music education program is the low teacher-to-student ratio and the resulting high level of personal attention students receive With small classes professors are able to know each student especially regarding academic and musical strengths and weaknesses motivation and professional goals In such an environment aspects such as field activities are tailored to the needs of the individual student

One Music Unit faculty representative serves on the Teacher Education Committee and has primary responsibility to monitor the progress of Unit candidates The advisor is assigned one-quarter time to the education unit and advises music Education majors teaches methods of music courses and observes candidates in their supervised teaching As a member of the Teacher Education Committee and the education unit the advisor is informed about the performance of each candidate on all criteria in the Continuous Assessment Plan As a member of the music faculty the advisor is also informed about the progress of each candidate in satisfactorily completing the required music courses

As delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Music education candidates are well grounded in content knowledge displaying basic music competencies essential to teaching music in addition to a broad knowledge acquired through general studies Students are prohibited from concurrent enrollment during student teaching and Unit candidates complete a 12 credit hour dual placement at the primary and the secondary levels which include observation and practice of lesson planning classroom teaching classroom management and assessment of learning under the guidance of the supervising teacher and a university supervisor They additionally synthesize content theory

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

Finally regarding Student Evaluations of Instruction the Unit has this year abandoned the more traditional opinion survey and migrated to the use of the IDEA assessment systems This change resulted from our observation that the previous survey instrument did little to measure teaching effectiveness nor to advance the improvement of instruction Exhibit E7 An Analysis and Critique of the Methods of Student Evaluation of Faculty pp 1-3 clearly delineates our rationale for doing so Moreover the primary benefit of this platform is that it requires the alignment of all questions or inquiries with specific student learning goals that are identified by each individual faculty member

GOAL 2 Implement intrusive recruitment strategies that will ensure a representative community of aspiring scholars artists and musicians

The Unit has developed and implemented Exhibit H1a Five-Year Recruitment Targets and Established Goals Exhibit H1b Recruitment and Communications Flow Exhibit H1c Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures and Exhibit H2 RAPS Review of Academic Progress Reporting to immediately advance our recruitment and retention efforts Faculty are additionally implementing the EAB Campus Student Success Collaborative as an intrusive mode of student engagement Progress reports are generated throughout each semester for each student in each class under their instruction The impact of these innovations has been immediate as the Unit has exceeded its recruitment targets for the current year and expanded our first to second year retention rate to over 60

GOAL 3 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Scholarship Performance and Creative Activity

As is delineated within Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 the frequency and quality of performance seminars and recitals have doubled over the past two years Likewise Unit faculty creative activities have significantly increased as delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae

GOAL 4 Pursue and Document the Efficacy of Divisional Service and Professional Development

As delineated within Appendix 1 Faculty Vitae Unit faculty service and professional development activities have significantly increased

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses In addition to the requirements of the students major field of study Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University The Liberal Studies Requirements are divided into two parts The General Core Requirements and the Integrative Studies Requirements

The previous 2006 Self-Study expressed legitimate concerns that the high credit hour requirement for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements consistently jeopardized new student recruitment efforts as well as placed additional burden on students matriculating through the Bachelor of Music degree program Two occurrences have mitigated those legitimate concerns and vastly improved the time-to-degree prospects for those students majoring in Music First the University has subsequently reviewed the Liberal Studies General Core and Integrative Studies Requirements and fully implemented the changes necessary to decrease those requirements for specific majors including Music

Second the university has mandated that all degree programs strictly adhere to a maximum of 120 credit hours for all baccalaureate degrees While this latter occurrence has necessitated critical curricular and experiential revisions they have required that the Unit approach threshold compliance from the perspective of meeting competencies through a variety on means and experiences as opposed to specifically designated courses Subsequent to the latter occurrence the Unit reorganized common courses within our degree options into a Music Core Curriculummdashwith instrumental keyboard and vocal major tracks

The implementation of various ldquoSpecializationsrdquo within the ldquoBachelor of Musicrdquo degree option represents a related by product of that curricular reorganization That strategy was

Page 17 of 60

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

One semester credit hour generally represents one clock hour of recitation or lecture or two clock hours of laboratory per week for one semester for most University courses Credit requirements for music coursesmdashMUA Music Applied MUC MusicClass Instruction MUE Music Education MUP Music Performance Ensemble and MUS Music are in accordance with NASM standards and are published in the Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue pp 407-417 In granting course credit to transfer students Kentucky State University maintains academic policies that assure that the overall educational experiences of transferring students are equivalent in quality and content to those provided by KSU and these policies are published in the Exhibit A1 Transfer Policies KSU 2016 Catalogue p57

IIA2 All Professional Baccalaureate Degrees in MusicmdashCommon Body of Knowledge and Skills Evaluation of the Development of Competencies

1 Performance

The Music Unit is committed to the highest possible standards in its performance areas Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi delineates various curricular and experiential processes that are designed to ensure threshold compliance with expected competencies The Music Theory Placement Examination and the Piano Placement Examination further delineated in the Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency are administered to determine the studentrsquos level of entry into the music theory and piano sequences respectively

General descriptions of the Unitrsquos performance evaluation policies and procedures are published in the Exhibit A1 Bachelor of Music KSU 2016 Catalogue pp157-158 and the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 Spec

All music majors are required to successfully complete applied performance courses and an accompanying performance laboratory each semester except for music education students during the semester in which they complete student teaching Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes fully informs all the Units performance curricula experiences and practices

Instrumental majors (wind brass percussion) must demonstrate mastery of the specific performance skills knowledge and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study

Page 18 of 60

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

4 History and Repertory

The Music Unit is committed to providing its students and the University community with a variety of musical experiences that are reflective of diverse stylistic historical and cultural traditions The Unit offers specific courses in music history and music literature that are designed to provide students with opportunities to study and examine such stylistic historical and cultural

Page 20 of 60

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

5 Synthesis

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

As such music majors at Kentucky State University demonstrate a synthesis of their musical study through numerous requirements and activities For example in the music theory sequence students must relate to music literature from a wide variety of musical periods and styles in several different ways historically analytically aurally and compositionally Moreover the Sophomore Proficiency applied music juries course examinations and Junior and Senior Recitals all provide opportunities to assess students abilities to synthesize their musical and educational experiences

IIA3 Teacher Education Programs

The Music Education Specialization is offered in conjunction with the School of Education Kentucky State Universityrsquos undergraduate Music Education program prepares prospective music teachers for the Kentucky teacher certification in music K-12 Students acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in pedagogy music theory musical performance history and literature to earn the Bachelor of Music Education credentials

The Unitrsquos process for selecting supervising and cooperating teachers and sites is dictated by standards and procedures established by the Education Professional Standards Board and delineated within Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching This administrative regulation describes the special requirements for certification that affect the teacher training program in music education and establishes the

Page 21 of 60

standards for admission placement and supervision in student teaching within the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The institutionrsquos educator preparation program selects clinical faculty member to serve as the University Supervisor according to the guidelines delineated within the Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching Cooperating teachers are teachers employed in a public school or a nonpublic school which meets the state performance standards as established in KRS 156160 or which has been accredited by a regional or national accrediting association who is contracting with an educator preparation institution to supervise a student teacher for the purpose of fulfilling the student teaching requirement of the approved educator preparation program The quality of cooperating schools remains high while the variety of placements is limited and primarily influenced by the requirements outlined immediately above

Music Education candidates must interact with school personnel and parents in tutorial assignments field and clinical experiences and supervised teaching The Music Unit ensures collaboration with the professional community through several initiatives Unit faculty members also collaborate with public school music educators in the provision of field and clinical experiences Additionally candidates collaborate with each other in completing and implementing various laboratory and course assignments

One of the significant aspects of the music education program is the low teacher-to-student ratio and the resulting high level of personal attention students receive With small classes professors are able to know each student especially regarding academic and musical strengths and weaknesses motivation and professional goals In such an environment aspects such as field activities are tailored to the needs of the individual student

One Music Unit faculty representative serves on the Teacher Education Committee and has primary responsibility to monitor the progress of Unit candidates The advisor is assigned one-quarter time to the education unit and advises music Education majors teaches methods of music courses and observes candidates in their supervised teaching As a member of the Teacher Education Committee and the education unit the advisor is informed about the performance of each candidate on all criteria in the Continuous Assessment Plan As a member of the music faculty the advisor is also informed about the progress of each candidate in satisfactorily completing the required music courses

As delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Music education candidates are well grounded in content knowledge displaying basic music competencies essential to teaching music in addition to a broad knowledge acquired through general studies Students are prohibited from concurrent enrollment during student teaching and Unit candidates complete a 12 credit hour dual placement at the primary and the secondary levels which include observation and practice of lesson planning classroom teaching classroom management and assessment of learning under the guidance of the supervising teacher and a university supervisor They additionally synthesize content theory

Page 36 of 60

A primary goal of the Music Unit is to provide courses and experiences in support of the institutionrsquos Liberal Studies Mission its unique diversity and heritage and the requirements of other academic units for service courses and the Unitrsquos efforts in this area meet and exceed institution-wide aspirations for developing positive values for music

Kentucky State University focuses on liberal studies programming in accordance with its mission and since music is an integral part of the traditional liberal arts curriculum the Music program is considered by Kentucky State University as an essential component of the Universitys mission The Unit provides the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree and a Minor option in Performance both of which are intended for the Kentucky State University student who wishes to study music within a liberal studies framework and use the degree as a foundation for a wide range of career options andor graduate study in music or other academic areas Of the twelve Liberal Studies-based general education learning outcomes required for all students the Music program directly addresses three

1) To recognize and value both the global diversity of cultures by study of Western and non-Western cultures and by study of foreign language and the multicultural nature of American society including the cultural contributions of African Americans (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 6)

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Numerous performances are sponsored by the Frankfort Arts Foundation Through a partnership with Kentucky State University the City of Frankfort Franklin County Fiscal Court and with the support of the Kentucky Arts Council local businesses patron and friends the Frankfort Arts Foundation (FAF) provides an average of some eight subscription concerts each year to the city with performances taking place in Bradford Hall of Kentucky State University The FAF also sponsors Artists in the Schools programs and community master classes This organization is instrumental in bringing a variety of high quality arts programming to the Frankfort community and University students Free admission is provided to students of Kentucky State University and Unit faculty members have and continue to provide their

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

SECTION III SUMMARY

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

Each student who enters Kentucky State University with the intention to earn a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the Liberal Studies Requirements Liberal studies courses serve as a foundation for many other courses In addition to the requirements of the students major field of study Liberal Studies Requirements constitute a carefully designed program of courses to be selected from the various academic offerings of the University The Liberal Studies Requirements are divided into two parts The General Core Requirements and the Integrative Studies Requirements

The previous 2006 Self-Study expressed legitimate concerns that the high credit hour requirement for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements consistently jeopardized new student recruitment efforts as well as placed additional burden on students matriculating through the Bachelor of Music degree program Two occurrences have mitigated those legitimate concerns and vastly improved the time-to-degree prospects for those students majoring in Music First the University has subsequently reviewed the Liberal Studies General Core and Integrative Studies Requirements and fully implemented the changes necessary to decrease those requirements for specific majors including Music

Second the university has mandated that all degree programs strictly adhere to a maximum of 120 credit hours for all baccalaureate degrees While this latter occurrence has necessitated critical curricular and experiential revisions they have required that the Unit approach threshold compliance from the perspective of meeting competencies through a variety on means and experiences as opposed to specifically designated courses Subsequent to the latter occurrence the Unit reorganized common courses within our degree options into a Music Core Curriculummdashwith instrumental keyboard and vocal major tracks

The implementation of various ldquoSpecializationsrdquo within the ldquoBachelor of Musicrdquo degree option represents a related by product of that curricular reorganization That strategy was

Page 17 of 60

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

One semester credit hour generally represents one clock hour of recitation or lecture or two clock hours of laboratory per week for one semester for most University courses Credit requirements for music coursesmdashMUA Music Applied MUC MusicClass Instruction MUE Music Education MUP Music Performance Ensemble and MUS Music are in accordance with NASM standards and are published in the Exhibit A1 KSU 2015-2016 Catalogue pp 407-417 In granting course credit to transfer students Kentucky State University maintains academic policies that assure that the overall educational experiences of transferring students are equivalent in quality and content to those provided by KSU and these policies are published in the Exhibit A1 Transfer Policies KSU 2016 Catalogue p57

IIA2 All Professional Baccalaureate Degrees in MusicmdashCommon Body of Knowledge and Skills Evaluation of the Development of Competencies

1 Performance

The Music Unit is committed to the highest possible standards in its performance areas Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi delineates various curricular and experiential processes that are designed to ensure threshold compliance with expected competencies The Music Theory Placement Examination and the Piano Placement Examination further delineated in the Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency are administered to determine the studentrsquos level of entry into the music theory and piano sequences respectively

General descriptions of the Unitrsquos performance evaluation policies and procedures are published in the Exhibit A1 Bachelor of Music KSU 2016 Catalogue pp157-158 and the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 Spec

All music majors are required to successfully complete applied performance courses and an accompanying performance laboratory each semester except for music education students during the semester in which they complete student teaching Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes fully informs all the Units performance curricula experiences and practices

Instrumental majors (wind brass percussion) must demonstrate mastery of the specific performance skills knowledge and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study

Page 18 of 60

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

4 History and Repertory

The Music Unit is committed to providing its students and the University community with a variety of musical experiences that are reflective of diverse stylistic historical and cultural traditions The Unit offers specific courses in music history and music literature that are designed to provide students with opportunities to study and examine such stylistic historical and cultural

Page 20 of 60

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

5 Synthesis

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

As such music majors at Kentucky State University demonstrate a synthesis of their musical study through numerous requirements and activities For example in the music theory sequence students must relate to music literature from a wide variety of musical periods and styles in several different ways historically analytically aurally and compositionally Moreover the Sophomore Proficiency applied music juries course examinations and Junior and Senior Recitals all provide opportunities to assess students abilities to synthesize their musical and educational experiences

IIA3 Teacher Education Programs

The Music Education Specialization is offered in conjunction with the School of Education Kentucky State Universityrsquos undergraduate Music Education program prepares prospective music teachers for the Kentucky teacher certification in music K-12 Students acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in pedagogy music theory musical performance history and literature to earn the Bachelor of Music Education credentials

The Unitrsquos process for selecting supervising and cooperating teachers and sites is dictated by standards and procedures established by the Education Professional Standards Board and delineated within Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching This administrative regulation describes the special requirements for certification that affect the teacher training program in music education and establishes the

Page 21 of 60

standards for admission placement and supervision in student teaching within the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The institutionrsquos educator preparation program selects clinical faculty member to serve as the University Supervisor according to the guidelines delineated within the Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching Cooperating teachers are teachers employed in a public school or a nonpublic school which meets the state performance standards as established in KRS 156160 or which has been accredited by a regional or national accrediting association who is contracting with an educator preparation institution to supervise a student teacher for the purpose of fulfilling the student teaching requirement of the approved educator preparation program The quality of cooperating schools remains high while the variety of placements is limited and primarily influenced by the requirements outlined immediately above

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

primarily precipitated by the desire to address the high credit hour requirements for the Liberal Studies General Core Requirements and degree options that exceeded 141 credit hours Ironically while the two institutional accommodations addressed the concerns regarding excessive credit hour requirements it also made the Music Unitrsquos implementation of ldquoSpecializationsrdquo unnecessary Unfortunately remnants of those practices remain in various publications and it is a primary objective of the present Self-Study to remove those remnants and restore consistency to our degree listings ie those presently ldquoSubmitted for Renewal of Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listingrdquo appearing on the cover page of this document

IIA2 All Professional Baccalaureate Degrees in MusicmdashCommon Body of Knowledge and Skills Evaluation of the Development of Competencies

1 Performance

The Music Unit is committed to the highest possible standards in its performance areas Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi delineates various curricular and experiential processes that are designed to ensure threshold compliance with expected competencies The Music Theory Placement Examination and the Piano Placement Examination further delineated in the Exhibit IIB4 KSU Piano Placement and Proficiency are administered to determine the studentrsquos level of entry into the music theory and piano sequences respectively

General descriptions of the Unitrsquos performance evaluation policies and procedures are published in the Exhibit A1 Bachelor of Music KSU 2016 Catalogue pp157-158 and the Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-15 Spec

All music majors are required to successfully complete applied performance courses and an accompanying performance laboratory each semester except for music education students during the semester in which they complete student teaching Exhibit IIB1 KSU Music Student Learning Outcomes fully informs all the Units performance curricula experiences and practices

Instrumental majors (wind brass percussion) must demonstrate mastery of the specific performance skills knowledge and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study

Page 18 of 60

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

4 History and Repertory

The Music Unit is committed to providing its students and the University community with a variety of musical experiences that are reflective of diverse stylistic historical and cultural traditions The Unit offers specific courses in music history and music literature that are designed to provide students with opportunities to study and examine such stylistic historical and cultural

Page 20 of 60

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

5 Synthesis

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

As such music majors at Kentucky State University demonstrate a synthesis of their musical study through numerous requirements and activities For example in the music theory sequence students must relate to music literature from a wide variety of musical periods and styles in several different ways historically analytically aurally and compositionally Moreover the Sophomore Proficiency applied music juries course examinations and Junior and Senior Recitals all provide opportunities to assess students abilities to synthesize their musical and educational experiences

IIA3 Teacher Education Programs

The Music Education Specialization is offered in conjunction with the School of Education Kentucky State Universityrsquos undergraduate Music Education program prepares prospective music teachers for the Kentucky teacher certification in music K-12 Students acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in pedagogy music theory musical performance history and literature to earn the Bachelor of Music Education credentials

The Unitrsquos process for selecting supervising and cooperating teachers and sites is dictated by standards and procedures established by the Education Professional Standards Board and delineated within Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching This administrative regulation describes the special requirements for certification that affect the teacher training program in music education and establishes the

Page 21 of 60

standards for admission placement and supervision in student teaching within the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The institutionrsquos educator preparation program selects clinical faculty member to serve as the University Supervisor according to the guidelines delineated within the Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching Cooperating teachers are teachers employed in a public school or a nonpublic school which meets the state performance standards as established in KRS 156160 or which has been accredited by a regional or national accrediting association who is contracting with an educator preparation institution to supervise a student teacher for the purpose of fulfilling the student teaching requirement of the approved educator preparation program The quality of cooperating schools remains high while the variety of placements is limited and primarily influenced by the requirements outlined immediately above

Music Education candidates must interact with school personnel and parents in tutorial assignments field and clinical experiences and supervised teaching The Music Unit ensures collaboration with the professional community through several initiatives Unit faculty members also collaborate with public school music educators in the provision of field and clinical experiences Additionally candidates collaborate with each other in completing and implementing various laboratory and course assignments

One of the significant aspects of the music education program is the low teacher-to-student ratio and the resulting high level of personal attention students receive With small classes professors are able to know each student especially regarding academic and musical strengths and weaknesses motivation and professional goals In such an environment aspects such as field activities are tailored to the needs of the individual student

One Music Unit faculty representative serves on the Teacher Education Committee and has primary responsibility to monitor the progress of Unit candidates The advisor is assigned one-quarter time to the education unit and advises music Education majors teaches methods of music courses and observes candidates in their supervised teaching As a member of the Teacher Education Committee and the education unit the advisor is informed about the performance of each candidate on all criteria in the Continuous Assessment Plan As a member of the music faculty the advisor is also informed about the progress of each candidate in satisfactorily completing the required music courses

As delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Music education candidates are well grounded in content knowledge displaying basic music competencies essential to teaching music in addition to a broad knowledge acquired through general studies Students are prohibited from concurrent enrollment during student teaching and Unit candidates complete a 12 credit hour dual placement at the primary and the secondary levels which include observation and practice of lesson planning classroom teaching classroom management and assessment of learning under the guidance of the supervising teacher and a university supervisor They additionally synthesize content theory

Page 36 of 60

A primary goal of the Music Unit is to provide courses and experiences in support of the institutionrsquos Liberal Studies Mission its unique diversity and heritage and the requirements of other academic units for service courses and the Unitrsquos efforts in this area meet and exceed institution-wide aspirations for developing positive values for music

Kentucky State University focuses on liberal studies programming in accordance with its mission and since music is an integral part of the traditional liberal arts curriculum the Music program is considered by Kentucky State University as an essential component of the Universitys mission The Unit provides the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree and a Minor option in Performance both of which are intended for the Kentucky State University student who wishes to study music within a liberal studies framework and use the degree as a foundation for a wide range of career options andor graduate study in music or other academic areas Of the twelve Liberal Studies-based general education learning outcomes required for all students the Music program directly addresses three

1) To recognize and value both the global diversity of cultures by study of Western and non-Western cultures and by study of foreign language and the multicultural nature of American society including the cultural contributions of African Americans (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 6)

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Numerous performances are sponsored by the Frankfort Arts Foundation Through a partnership with Kentucky State University the City of Frankfort Franklin County Fiscal Court and with the support of the Kentucky Arts Council local businesses patron and friends the Frankfort Arts Foundation (FAF) provides an average of some eight subscription concerts each year to the city with performances taking place in Bradford Hall of Kentucky State University The FAF also sponsors Artists in the Schools programs and community master classes This organization is instrumental in bringing a variety of high quality arts programming to the Frankfort community and University students Free admission is provided to students of Kentucky State University and Unit faculty members have and continue to provide their

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

SECTION III SUMMARY

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

This includes all major natural minor harmonic minor and melodic minor scales and arpeggios two octaves (quarter = MM 132) four prepared etudes one solo with piano accompaniment sight-reading

Piano majors must perform from memory compositions from three different stylistic periods Students are expected to play at a moderate tempo any major and harmonic minor scale covering three octaves

Vocal majors must demonstrate performance skills and techniques acquired during the first four semesters of study performing from memory repertoire from the MUA 161262 Major Applied (voice) courses

Students are evaluated each semester through performances before a jury of applied music faculty and this process is more specifically detailed in the Exhibit IIB3 KSU Music Jury and Recital Policies These evaluations are essential in the determination of satisfactory progress in applied music study Students are also required to perform every semester on the student recital part of the Applied Music Laboratory course Students must demonstrate competence in their selected performance area through a requisite mastery of those technical interpretive and music reading skills as well as a mastery of the representative repertory associated with their respective level of study

Exhibit IIB6 Department of Music Majors Handbook pp11-12 further delineates the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination which is administered concurrent with the MUA 262 jury and monitored by a quorum of applied music faculty The primary purpose of the examination is to assess a students mid-level performance skills that are prerequisite to matriculation through the 300- and 400-level applied music courses

All music majors performing recitals must first perform a recital hearing before the Faculty JuryRecital Committee Since all music majors are active participants in small and large ensembles responsibility for assessing student achievement in the area of performance rests with respective applied music faculty and to some extent respective ensemble directors Each music major is required to perform examinations at the conclusion of each semester prior to the Senior Recital

2 Musicianship Skills and Analysis

The Units Music Theory sequence of course requirements provides educational experiences which are totally integrated in discipline historically based designed to develop the aural and analytical skills of the students and to facilitate threshold compliance with the competencies associated with this standard

Analysis composition sight singing keyboard theory and ear training are fully integrated into each of the first four semesters of study MUS 101 102 201 and 202 Each of these three-hour courses meets four days a week and uses a combination of lecturediscussion and laboratory

Page 19 of 60

methods Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of those common elements of music and how those elements interact

These four historically based courses represent (1) Antiquity to 1450 (MUS 101) (2) 1450-1650 (MUS 102) (3) 1650-1820 (MUS 201) and (4) 1820-1900 (MUS 202) The final two courses in the sequencemdashForm and Analysis (MUS 301) and Twentieth Century Music (MUS 424) provide students with a knowledge of musical styles forms and analysis (MUS 301) and with an historical stylistic and cultural analysis of music of the twentieth century (MUS 424)

All courses in the sequence require that students perform at least one or more analysis assignments each week In each of the first four courses students must complete one or more composition projects in the style of composers studied In each of the last two courses students must complete analysis projects and term papers Opportunities for in-depth discussions and feedback on student verbal visual and aural analyses are provided during class Sight-singing and analysis assignments keyboard exercises and compositional projects are all directly related to the historicalcultural styles and compositions that are studied Additionally other evaluation procedures include the previously described sophomore review and the Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

3 CompositionImprovisation

Although numerous composition projects representative of diverse stylistic traditions are required in the Units music theory sequence of offerings other courses are specifically designed and structured to develop student skills in composition and improvisation While students develop such improvisational skills as realizing figured-bass examples in their basic theory courses of study they are also provided numerous opportunities for such skill development through the Units courses in Jazz Improvisation Jazz Piano Jazz Ensemble Vocal Commercial Music Ensemble and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensemble

Arranging courses are structured to meet the individual needs and interests of its students and to provide opportunities for experiences with the practical application of compositional techniques Courses such as Music Composition (I and II) Advanced Composition Jazz Arranging and Composition Introduction to Electronic Music and Instrumental and Vocal Arranging provide a variety of educational experiences that represent diverse approaches to the composing of music an advance threshold compliance

4 History and Repertory

The Music Unit is committed to providing its students and the University community with a variety of musical experiences that are reflective of diverse stylistic historical and cultural traditions The Unit offers specific courses in music history and music literature that are designed to provide students with opportunities to study and examine such stylistic historical and cultural

Page 20 of 60

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

5 Synthesis

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

As such music majors at Kentucky State University demonstrate a synthesis of their musical study through numerous requirements and activities For example in the music theory sequence students must relate to music literature from a wide variety of musical periods and styles in several different ways historically analytically aurally and compositionally Moreover the Sophomore Proficiency applied music juries course examinations and Junior and Senior Recitals all provide opportunities to assess students abilities to synthesize their musical and educational experiences

IIA3 Teacher Education Programs

The Music Education Specialization is offered in conjunction with the School of Education Kentucky State Universityrsquos undergraduate Music Education program prepares prospective music teachers for the Kentucky teacher certification in music K-12 Students acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in pedagogy music theory musical performance history and literature to earn the Bachelor of Music Education credentials

The Unitrsquos process for selecting supervising and cooperating teachers and sites is dictated by standards and procedures established by the Education Professional Standards Board and delineated within Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching This administrative regulation describes the special requirements for certification that affect the teacher training program in music education and establishes the

Page 21 of 60

standards for admission placement and supervision in student teaching within the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The institutionrsquos educator preparation program selects clinical faculty member to serve as the University Supervisor according to the guidelines delineated within the Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching Cooperating teachers are teachers employed in a public school or a nonpublic school which meets the state performance standards as established in KRS 156160 or which has been accredited by a regional or national accrediting association who is contracting with an educator preparation institution to supervise a student teacher for the purpose of fulfilling the student teaching requirement of the approved educator preparation program The quality of cooperating schools remains high while the variety of placements is limited and primarily influenced by the requirements outlined immediately above

Music Education candidates must interact with school personnel and parents in tutorial assignments field and clinical experiences and supervised teaching The Music Unit ensures collaboration with the professional community through several initiatives Unit faculty members also collaborate with public school music educators in the provision of field and clinical experiences Additionally candidates collaborate with each other in completing and implementing various laboratory and course assignments

One of the significant aspects of the music education program is the low teacher-to-student ratio and the resulting high level of personal attention students receive With small classes professors are able to know each student especially regarding academic and musical strengths and weaknesses motivation and professional goals In such an environment aspects such as field activities are tailored to the needs of the individual student

One Music Unit faculty representative serves on the Teacher Education Committee and has primary responsibility to monitor the progress of Unit candidates The advisor is assigned one-quarter time to the education unit and advises music Education majors teaches methods of music courses and observes candidates in their supervised teaching As a member of the Teacher Education Committee and the education unit the advisor is informed about the performance of each candidate on all criteria in the Continuous Assessment Plan As a member of the music faculty the advisor is also informed about the progress of each candidate in satisfactorily completing the required music courses

As delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Music education candidates are well grounded in content knowledge displaying basic music competencies essential to teaching music in addition to a broad knowledge acquired through general studies Students are prohibited from concurrent enrollment during student teaching and Unit candidates complete a 12 credit hour dual placement at the primary and the secondary levels which include observation and practice of lesson planning classroom teaching classroom management and assessment of learning under the guidance of the supervising teacher and a university supervisor They additionally synthesize content theory

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

As such music majors at Kentucky State University demonstrate a synthesis of their musical study through numerous requirements and activities For example in the music theory sequence students must relate to music literature from a wide variety of musical periods and styles in several different ways historically analytically aurally and compositionally Moreover the Sophomore Proficiency applied music juries course examinations and Junior and Senior Recitals all provide opportunities to assess students abilities to synthesize their musical and educational experiences

IIA3 Teacher Education Programs

The Music Education Specialization is offered in conjunction with the School of Education Kentucky State Universityrsquos undergraduate Music Education program prepares prospective music teachers for the Kentucky teacher certification in music K-12 Students acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in pedagogy music theory musical performance history and literature to earn the Bachelor of Music Education credentials

The Unitrsquos process for selecting supervising and cooperating teachers and sites is dictated by standards and procedures established by the Education Professional Standards Board and delineated within Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching This administrative regulation describes the special requirements for certification that affect the teacher training program in music education and establishes the

Page 21 of 60

standards for admission placement and supervision in student teaching within the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The institutionrsquos educator preparation program selects clinical faculty member to serve as the University Supervisor according to the guidelines delineated within the Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching Cooperating teachers are teachers employed in a public school or a nonpublic school which meets the state performance standards as established in KRS 156160 or which has been accredited by a regional or national accrediting association who is contracting with an educator preparation institution to supervise a student teacher for the purpose of fulfilling the student teaching requirement of the approved educator preparation program The quality of cooperating schools remains high while the variety of placements is limited and primarily influenced by the requirements outlined immediately above

Music Education candidates must interact with school personnel and parents in tutorial assignments field and clinical experiences and supervised teaching The Music Unit ensures collaboration with the professional community through several initiatives Unit faculty members also collaborate with public school music educators in the provision of field and clinical experiences Additionally candidates collaborate with each other in completing and implementing various laboratory and course assignments

One of the significant aspects of the music education program is the low teacher-to-student ratio and the resulting high level of personal attention students receive With small classes professors are able to know each student especially regarding academic and musical strengths and weaknesses motivation and professional goals In such an environment aspects such as field activities are tailored to the needs of the individual student

One Music Unit faculty representative serves on the Teacher Education Committee and has primary responsibility to monitor the progress of Unit candidates The advisor is assigned one-quarter time to the education unit and advises music Education majors teaches methods of music courses and observes candidates in their supervised teaching As a member of the Teacher Education Committee and the education unit the advisor is informed about the performance of each candidate on all criteria in the Continuous Assessment Plan As a member of the music faculty the advisor is also informed about the progress of each candidate in satisfactorily completing the required music courses

As delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Music education candidates are well grounded in content knowledge displaying basic music competencies essential to teaching music in addition to a broad knowledge acquired through general studies Students are prohibited from concurrent enrollment during student teaching and Unit candidates complete a 12 credit hour dual placement at the primary and the secondary levels which include observation and practice of lesson planning classroom teaching classroom management and assessment of learning under the guidance of the supervising teacher and a university supervisor They additionally synthesize content theory

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

SECTION III SUMMARY

Page 39 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary strengths of the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The diversity variety and vitality of ensemble experiences provided as evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

2 The exemplary accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates as delineated within Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit

3 Stable Music enrollments and expanded curricular offerings and experiences that strategically focus on the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage

7 The Unitrsquos wide variety of Music courses and experiences offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University

Most of the Music Units student body maintain better than a C average in all required music courses (with some exceptions that are detailed below) and upon reaching the appropriate level most have successfully completed the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination the Keyboard Proficiency Examination and their Applied Music Juries Additionally most students who have reached that level have successfully completed and performed their Junior andor Senior Recitals demonstrating a synthesis of their music study at the University Those students who have graduated and applied to graduate schools have generally been admitted without experiencing any difficulties or deficiencies

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

traditions Moreover the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from such study and examination is an integral component of the Units applied music instruction and ensembles

As previously emphasized in Section N of this Self-Study our immediate vision seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices especially those of African Americans women and other underrepresented populations The Unit unanimously embraces this vision in assuring threshold compliance and such diversity is comprehensive and further reflected in the Units faculty performance ensembles and repertory The Marching Thorobred Band Symphonic Band Concert Choir Gospel Ensemble Jazz Ensemble OperaMusic Theatre Workshop Vocal and Instrumental Commercial Music Ensembles Small Vocal Ensemble and instrumental chamber ensembles all expose students to a large and varied body of music

5 Synthesis

The variety of educational and musical experiences delivered to music majors represent a holistic attempt to produce independent fully literate and professionally-grounded music graduates Such graduates will be well prepared for graduate study in music and ultimately will make significant contributions to society as educators and performing artists within the 21st Century

As such music majors at Kentucky State University demonstrate a synthesis of their musical study through numerous requirements and activities For example in the music theory sequence students must relate to music literature from a wide variety of musical periods and styles in several different ways historically analytically aurally and compositionally Moreover the Sophomore Proficiency applied music juries course examinations and Junior and Senior Recitals all provide opportunities to assess students abilities to synthesize their musical and educational experiences

IIA3 Teacher Education Programs

The Music Education Specialization is offered in conjunction with the School of Education Kentucky State Universityrsquos undergraduate Music Education program prepares prospective music teachers for the Kentucky teacher certification in music K-12 Students acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in pedagogy music theory musical performance history and literature to earn the Bachelor of Music Education credentials

The Unitrsquos process for selecting supervising and cooperating teachers and sites is dictated by standards and procedures established by the Education Professional Standards Board and delineated within Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching This administrative regulation describes the special requirements for certification that affect the teacher training program in music education and establishes the

Page 21 of 60

standards for admission placement and supervision in student teaching within the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The institutionrsquos educator preparation program selects clinical faculty member to serve as the University Supervisor according to the guidelines delineated within the Appendix 12 16 KAR 5040 Admission Placement And Supervision In Student Teaching Cooperating teachers are teachers employed in a public school or a nonpublic school which meets the state performance standards as established in KRS 156160 or which has been accredited by a regional or national accrediting association who is contracting with an educator preparation institution to supervise a student teacher for the purpose of fulfilling the student teaching requirement of the approved educator preparation program The quality of cooperating schools remains high while the variety of placements is limited and primarily influenced by the requirements outlined immediately above

Music Education candidates must interact with school personnel and parents in tutorial assignments field and clinical experiences and supervised teaching The Music Unit ensures collaboration with the professional community through several initiatives Unit faculty members also collaborate with public school music educators in the provision of field and clinical experiences Additionally candidates collaborate with each other in completing and implementing various laboratory and course assignments

One of the significant aspects of the music education program is the low teacher-to-student ratio and the resulting high level of personal attention students receive With small classes professors are able to know each student especially regarding academic and musical strengths and weaknesses motivation and professional goals In such an environment aspects such as field activities are tailored to the needs of the individual student

One Music Unit faculty representative serves on the Teacher Education Committee and has primary responsibility to monitor the progress of Unit candidates The advisor is assigned one-quarter time to the education unit and advises music Education majors teaches methods of music courses and observes candidates in their supervised teaching As a member of the Teacher Education Committee and the education unit the advisor is informed about the performance of each candidate on all criteria in the Continuous Assessment Plan As a member of the music faculty the advisor is also informed about the progress of each candidate in satisfactorily completing the required music courses

As delineated within Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016 Music education candidates are well grounded in content knowledge displaying basic music competencies essential to teaching music in addition to a broad knowledge acquired through general studies Students are prohibited from concurrent enrollment during student teaching and Unit candidates complete a 12 credit hour dual placement at the primary and the secondary levels which include observation and practice of lesson planning classroom teaching classroom management and assessment of learning under the guidance of the supervising teacher and a university supervisor They additionally synthesize content theory

Page 36 of 60

A primary goal of the Music Unit is to provide courses and experiences in support of the institutionrsquos Liberal Studies Mission its unique diversity and heritage and the requirements of other academic units for service courses and the Unitrsquos efforts in this area meet and exceed institution-wide aspirations for developing positive values for music

Kentucky State University focuses on liberal studies programming in accordance with its mission and since music is an integral part of the traditional liberal arts curriculum the Music program is considered by Kentucky State University as an essential component of the Universitys mission The Unit provides the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree and a Minor option in Performance both of which are intended for the Kentucky State University student who wishes to study music within a liberal studies framework and use the degree as a foundation for a wide range of career options andor graduate study in music or other academic areas Of the twelve Liberal Studies-based general education learning outcomes required for all students the Music program directly addresses three

1) To recognize and value both the global diversity of cultures by study of Western and non-Western cultures and by study of foreign language and the multicultural nature of American society including the cultural contributions of African Americans (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 6)

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Numerous performances are sponsored by the Frankfort Arts Foundation Through a partnership with Kentucky State University the City of Frankfort Franklin County Fiscal Court and with the support of the Kentucky Arts Council local businesses patron and friends the Frankfort Arts Foundation (FAF) provides an average of some eight subscription concerts each year to the city with performances taking place in Bradford Hall of Kentucky State University The FAF also sponsors Artists in the Schools programs and community master classes This organization is instrumental in bringing a variety of high quality arts programming to the Frankfort community and University students Free admission is provided to students of Kentucky State University and Unit faculty members have and continue to provide their

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

A primary goal of the Music Unit is to provide courses and experiences in support of the institutionrsquos Liberal Studies Mission its unique diversity and heritage and the requirements of other academic units for service courses and the Unitrsquos efforts in this area meet and exceed institution-wide aspirations for developing positive values for music

Kentucky State University focuses on liberal studies programming in accordance with its mission and since music is an integral part of the traditional liberal arts curriculum the Music program is considered by Kentucky State University as an essential component of the Universitys mission The Unit provides the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree and a Minor option in Performance both of which are intended for the Kentucky State University student who wishes to study music within a liberal studies framework and use the degree as a foundation for a wide range of career options andor graduate study in music or other academic areas Of the twelve Liberal Studies-based general education learning outcomes required for all students the Music program directly addresses three

1) To recognize and value both the global diversity of cultures by study of Western and non-Western cultures and by study of foreign language and the multicultural nature of American society including the cultural contributions of African Americans (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 6)

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Numerous performances are sponsored by the Frankfort Arts Foundation Through a partnership with Kentucky State University the City of Frankfort Franklin County Fiscal Court and with the support of the Kentucky Arts Council local businesses patron and friends the Frankfort Arts Foundation (FAF) provides an average of some eight subscription concerts each year to the city with performances taking place in Bradford Hall of Kentucky State University The FAF also sponsors Artists in the Schools programs and community master classes This organization is instrumental in bringing a variety of high quality arts programming to the Frankfort community and University students Free admission is provided to students of Kentucky State University and Unit faculty members have and continue to provide their

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

A primary goal of the Music Unit is to provide courses and experiences in support of the institutionrsquos Liberal Studies Mission its unique diversity and heritage and the requirements of other academic units for service courses and the Unitrsquos efforts in this area meet and exceed institution-wide aspirations for developing positive values for music

Kentucky State University focuses on liberal studies programming in accordance with its mission and since music is an integral part of the traditional liberal arts curriculum the Music program is considered by Kentucky State University as an essential component of the Universitys mission The Unit provides the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree and a Minor option in Performance both of which are intended for the Kentucky State University student who wishes to study music within a liberal studies framework and use the degree as a foundation for a wide range of career options andor graduate study in music or other academic areas Of the twelve Liberal Studies-based general education learning outcomes required for all students the Music program directly addresses three

1) To recognize and value both the global diversity of cultures by study of Western and non-Western cultures and by study of foreign language and the multicultural nature of American society including the cultural contributions of African Americans (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 6)

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Numerous performances are sponsored by the Frankfort Arts Foundation Through a partnership with Kentucky State University the City of Frankfort Franklin County Fiscal Court and with the support of the Kentucky Arts Council local businesses patron and friends the Frankfort Arts Foundation (FAF) provides an average of some eight subscription concerts each year to the city with performances taking place in Bradford Hall of Kentucky State University The FAF also sponsors Artists in the Schools programs and community master classes This organization is instrumental in bringing a variety of high quality arts programming to the Frankfort community and University students Free admission is provided to students of Kentucky State University and Unit faculty members have and continue to provide their

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

SECTION III SUMMARY

Strengths

Page 39 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary strengths of the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The diversity variety and vitality of ensemble experiences provided as evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

2 The exemplary accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates as delineated within Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit

3 Stable Music enrollments and expanded curricular offerings and experiences that strategically focus on the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage

7 The Unitrsquos wide variety of Music courses and experiences offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University

Most of the Music Units student body maintain better than a C average in all required music courses (with some exceptions that are detailed below) and upon reaching the appropriate level most have successfully completed the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination the Keyboard Proficiency Examination and their Applied Music Juries Additionally most students who have reached that level have successfully completed and performed their Junior andor Senior Recitals demonstrating a synthesis of their music study at the University Those students who have graduated and applied to graduate schools have generally been admitted without experiencing any difficulties or deficiencies

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

Page 36 of 60

A primary goal of the Music Unit is to provide courses and experiences in support of the institutionrsquos Liberal Studies Mission its unique diversity and heritage and the requirements of other academic units for service courses and the Unitrsquos efforts in this area meet and exceed institution-wide aspirations for developing positive values for music

Kentucky State University focuses on liberal studies programming in accordance with its mission and since music is an integral part of the traditional liberal arts curriculum the Music program is considered by Kentucky State University as an essential component of the Universitys mission The Unit provides the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree and a Minor option in Performance both of which are intended for the Kentucky State University student who wishes to study music within a liberal studies framework and use the degree as a foundation for a wide range of career options andor graduate study in music or other academic areas Of the twelve Liberal Studies-based general education learning outcomes required for all students the Music program directly addresses three

1) To recognize and value both the global diversity of cultures by study of Western and non-Western cultures and by study of foreign language and the multicultural nature of American society including the cultural contributions of African Americans (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 6)

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Numerous performances are sponsored by the Frankfort Arts Foundation Through a partnership with Kentucky State University the City of Frankfort Franklin County Fiscal Court and with the support of the Kentucky Arts Council local businesses patron and friends the Frankfort Arts Foundation (FAF) provides an average of some eight subscription concerts each year to the city with performances taking place in Bradford Hall of Kentucky State University The FAF also sponsors Artists in the Schools programs and community master classes This organization is instrumental in bringing a variety of high quality arts programming to the Frankfort community and University students Free admission is provided to students of Kentucky State University and Unit faculty members have and continue to provide their

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

Page 36 of 60

A primary goal of the Music Unit is to provide courses and experiences in support of the institutionrsquos Liberal Studies Mission its unique diversity and heritage and the requirements of other academic units for service courses and the Unitrsquos efforts in this area meet and exceed institution-wide aspirations for developing positive values for music

Kentucky State University focuses on liberal studies programming in accordance with its mission and since music is an integral part of the traditional liberal arts curriculum the Music program is considered by Kentucky State University as an essential component of the Universitys mission The Unit provides the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree and a Minor option in Performance both of which are intended for the Kentucky State University student who wishes to study music within a liberal studies framework and use the degree as a foundation for a wide range of career options andor graduate study in music or other academic areas Of the twelve Liberal Studies-based general education learning outcomes required for all students the Music program directly addresses three

1) To recognize and value both the global diversity of cultures by study of Western and non-Western cultures and by study of foreign language and the multicultural nature of American society including the cultural contributions of African Americans (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 6)

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Numerous performances are sponsored by the Frankfort Arts Foundation Through a partnership with Kentucky State University the City of Frankfort Franklin County Fiscal Court and with the support of the Kentucky Arts Council local businesses patron and friends the Frankfort Arts Foundation (FAF) provides an average of some eight subscription concerts each year to the city with performances taking place in Bradford Hall of Kentucky State University The FAF also sponsors Artists in the Schools programs and community master classes This organization is instrumental in bringing a variety of high quality arts programming to the Frankfort community and University students Free admission is provided to students of Kentucky State University and Unit faculty members have and continue to provide their

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

SECTION III SUMMARY

Strengths

Page 39 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary strengths of the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The diversity variety and vitality of ensemble experiences provided as evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

2 The exemplary accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates as delineated within Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit

3 Stable Music enrollments and expanded curricular offerings and experiences that strategically focus on the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage

6 The Unit facultyrsquos commitment to the delivery of a current quality curriculum as delineated within Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi and their documented commitment to the cultural enrichment of the Frankfort community and the University service area counties

7 The Unitrsquos wide variety of Music courses and experiences offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University

Most of the Music Units student body maintain better than a C average in all required music courses (with some exceptions that are detailed below) and upon reaching the appropriate level most have successfully completed the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination the Keyboard Proficiency Examination and their Applied Music Juries Additionally most students who have reached that level have successfully completed and performed their Junior andor Senior Recitals demonstrating a synthesis of their music study at the University Those students who have graduated and applied to graduate schools have generally been admitted without experiencing any difficulties or deficiencies

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

Page 36 of 60

A primary goal of the Music Unit is to provide courses and experiences in support of the institutionrsquos Liberal Studies Mission its unique diversity and heritage and the requirements of other academic units for service courses and the Unitrsquos efforts in this area meet and exceed institution-wide aspirations for developing positive values for music

Kentucky State University focuses on liberal studies programming in accordance with its mission and since music is an integral part of the traditional liberal arts curriculum the Music program is considered by Kentucky State University as an essential component of the Universitys mission The Unit provides the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree and a Minor option in Performance both of which are intended for the Kentucky State University student who wishes to study music within a liberal studies framework and use the degree as a foundation for a wide range of career options andor graduate study in music or other academic areas Of the twelve Liberal Studies-based general education learning outcomes required for all students the Music program directly addresses three

1) To recognize and value both the global diversity of cultures by study of Western and non-Western cultures and by study of foreign language and the multicultural nature of American society including the cultural contributions of African Americans (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 6)

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Numerous performances are sponsored by the Frankfort Arts Foundation Through a partnership with Kentucky State University the City of Frankfort Franklin County Fiscal Court and with the support of the Kentucky Arts Council local businesses patron and friends the Frankfort Arts Foundation (FAF) provides an average of some eight subscription concerts each year to the city with performances taking place in Bradford Hall of Kentucky State University The FAF also sponsors Artists in the Schools programs and community master classes This organization is instrumental in bringing a variety of high quality arts programming to the Frankfort community and University students Free admission is provided to students of Kentucky State University and Unit faculty members have and continue to provide their

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

SECTION III SUMMARY

Most of the Music Units student body maintain better than a C average in all required music courses (with some exceptions that are detailed below) and upon reaching the appropriate level most have successfully completed the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination the Keyboard Proficiency Examination and their Applied Music Juries Additionally most students who have reached that level have successfully completed and performed their Junior andor Senior Recitals demonstrating a synthesis of their music study at the University Those students who have graduated and applied to graduate schools have generally been admitted without experiencing any difficulties or deficiencies

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

A primary goal of the Music Unit is to provide courses and experiences in support of the institutionrsquos Liberal Studies Mission its unique diversity and heritage and the requirements of other academic units for service courses and the Unitrsquos efforts in this area meet and exceed institution-wide aspirations for developing positive values for music

Kentucky State University focuses on liberal studies programming in accordance with its mission and since music is an integral part of the traditional liberal arts curriculum the Music program is considered by Kentucky State University as an essential component of the Universitys mission The Unit provides the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree and a Minor option in Performance both of which are intended for the Kentucky State University student who wishes to study music within a liberal studies framework and use the degree as a foundation for a wide range of career options andor graduate study in music or other academic areas Of the twelve Liberal Studies-based general education learning outcomes required for all students the Music program directly addresses three

1) To recognize and value both the global diversity of cultures by study of Western and non-Western cultures and by study of foreign language and the multicultural nature of American society including the cultural contributions of African Americans (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 6)

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Numerous performances are sponsored by the Frankfort Arts Foundation Through a partnership with Kentucky State University the City of Frankfort Franklin County Fiscal Court and with the support of the Kentucky Arts Council local businesses patron and friends the Frankfort Arts Foundation (FAF) provides an average of some eight subscription concerts each year to the city with performances taking place in Bradford Hall of Kentucky State University The FAF also sponsors Artists in the Schools programs and community master classes This organization is instrumental in bringing a variety of high quality arts programming to the Frankfort community and University students Free admission is provided to students of Kentucky State University and Unit faculty members have and continue to provide their

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

Page 36 of 60

A primary goal of the Music Unit is to provide courses and experiences in support of the institutionrsquos Liberal Studies Mission its unique diversity and heritage and the requirements of other academic units for service courses and the Unitrsquos efforts in this area meet and exceed institution-wide aspirations for developing positive values for music

Kentucky State University focuses on liberal studies programming in accordance with its mission and since music is an integral part of the traditional liberal arts curriculum the Music program is considered by Kentucky State University as an essential component of the Universitys mission The Unit provides the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree and a Minor option in Performance both of which are intended for the Kentucky State University student who wishes to study music within a liberal studies framework and use the degree as a foundation for a wide range of career options andor graduate study in music or other academic areas Of the twelve Liberal Studies-based general education learning outcomes required for all students the Music program directly addresses three

1) To recognize and value both the global diversity of cultures by study of Western and non-Western cultures and by study of foreign language and the multicultural nature of American society including the cultural contributions of African Americans (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 6)

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Numerous performances are sponsored by the Frankfort Arts Foundation Through a partnership with Kentucky State University the City of Frankfort Franklin County Fiscal Court and with the support of the Kentucky Arts Council local businesses patron and friends the Frankfort Arts Foundation (FAF) provides an average of some eight subscription concerts each year to the city with performances taking place in Bradford Hall of Kentucky State University The FAF also sponsors Artists in the Schools programs and community master classes This organization is instrumental in bringing a variety of high quality arts programming to the Frankfort community and University students Free admission is provided to students of Kentucky State University and Unit faculty members have and continue to provide their

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

SECTION III SUMMARY

Strengths

Page 39 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary strengths of the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The diversity variety and vitality of ensemble experiences provided as evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

2 The exemplary accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates as delineated within Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit

3 Stable Music enrollments and expanded curricular offerings and experiences that strategically focus on the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage

7 The Unitrsquos wide variety of Music courses and experiences offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University

Most of the Music Units student body maintain better than a C average in all required music courses (with some exceptions that are detailed below) and upon reaching the appropriate level most have successfully completed the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination the Keyboard Proficiency Examination and their Applied Music Juries Additionally most students who have reached that level have successfully completed and performed their Junior andor Senior Recitals demonstrating a synthesis of their music study at the University Those students who have graduated and applied to graduate schools have generally been admitted without experiencing any difficulties or deficiencies

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

A primary goal of the Music Unit is to provide courses and experiences in support of the institutionrsquos Liberal Studies Mission its unique diversity and heritage and the requirements of other academic units for service courses and the Unitrsquos efforts in this area meet and exceed institution-wide aspirations for developing positive values for music

Kentucky State University focuses on liberal studies programming in accordance with its mission and since music is an integral part of the traditional liberal arts curriculum the Music program is considered by Kentucky State University as an essential component of the Universitys mission The Unit provides the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree and a Minor option in Performance both of which are intended for the Kentucky State University student who wishes to study music within a liberal studies framework and use the degree as a foundation for a wide range of career options andor graduate study in music or other academic areas Of the twelve Liberal Studies-based general education learning outcomes required for all students the Music program directly addresses three

1) To recognize and value both the global diversity of cultures by study of Western and non-Western cultures and by study of foreign language and the multicultural nature of American society including the cultural contributions of African Americans (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 6)

2) To integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines cultures and historical contexts from the ancient to the modern world (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 9) and

3) To appreciate the aesthetic values embodied in human creative expression (Liberal Studies Learning Outcome 10)

As delineated within Exhibit IIF1 Non-Music Major Eligible Course Enrollments there is a wide variety of Music courses offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University The Unit encourages and allows non-music majors to enroll in all performing ensembles as well as the applied music courses and additionally fulfills a vital role in providing services to the general college student professional musicians and the local community through (1) producing andor sponsoring cultural activities in the arts through collaboration with the Exhibit J4 Frankfort Arts Foundation and (2) supporting and encouraging its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities

Numerous performances are sponsored by the Frankfort Arts Foundation Through a partnership with Kentucky State University the City of Frankfort Franklin County Fiscal Court and with the support of the Kentucky Arts Council local businesses patron and friends the Frankfort Arts Foundation (FAF) provides an average of some eight subscription concerts each year to the city with performances taking place in Bradford Hall of Kentucky State University The FAF also sponsors Artists in the Schools programs and community master classes This organization is instrumental in bringing a variety of high quality arts programming to the Frankfort community and University students Free admission is provided to students of Kentucky State University and Unit faculty members have and continue to provide their

Page 37 of 60

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

SECTION III SUMMARY

Strengths

Page 39 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary strengths of the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The diversity variety and vitality of ensemble experiences provided as evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

2 The exemplary accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates as delineated within Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit

3 Stable Music enrollments and expanded curricular offerings and experiences that strategically focus on the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage

6 The Unit facultyrsquos commitment to the delivery of a current quality curriculum as delineated within Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi and their documented commitment to the cultural enrichment of the Frankfort community and the University service area counties

7 The Unitrsquos wide variety of Music courses and experiences offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University

Most of the Music Units student body maintain better than a C average in all required music courses (with some exceptions that are detailed below) and upon reaching the appropriate level most have successfully completed the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination the Keyboard Proficiency Examination and their Applied Music Juries Additionally most students who have reached that level have successfully completed and performed their Junior andor Senior Recitals demonstrating a synthesis of their music study at the University Those students who have graduated and applied to graduate schools have generally been admitted without experiencing any difficulties or deficiencies

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

professional expertise as guests on local media programs and as consultants The local media are supportive of the Music Units programs and traditionally provide adequate coverage

The Music Unit utilizes both curricular and non-curricular activities to develop an awareness of the role and position of music in a greater societal context As delineated within Exhibit IIF2 Locus of Appointment KSU 2011 Faculty Handbook pp29-210 instructors for the Unitrsquos courses for non-majors are typically assigned by the divisional chairperson in full consideration of individual faculty loads and credit commitments and according to the individual faculty members area and level of expertise locus of assignment and interest Exhibit A1 Course Descriptions KSU 2016 Catalogue pp407 410 412-414 delineates the Music Unitrsquos policies with respect to enrollment of non-majors in (a) private studio instruction (b) ensembles and (c) courses intended primarily for music majors

Non-majors are encouraged to enroll in any of the Units courses including applied music ensembles and more traditional lecture courses with various courses requiring an audition andor the consent of the professor of record Music faculty members encourage interested non-majors to develop their performance skills through participation in large ensembles and chamber ensembles All students regardless of their major or level of musical study have ample opportunities to experience solo and ensemble performance The Units methods and performance techniques courses provide students with diverse experiences that allow them to better understand and teach music

Exhibit IIB5 KSU Music Seminars and Recitals 2013-2016 delineates the Unitrsquos weekly Performance Seminar which is utilized for student performances and critiques and provides opportunities to explore and discuss issues pertinent to the practicing professional music educator Faculty guest performers guest lecturers and other authorities in the field of music are utilized to embellish the professional training of the Universitys students Philosophical sociological pedagogical and administrative issues that are professionally relevant represent the core of this performance class Students have additional opportunities to professionally develop through participation in the numerous tours concerts and exhibitions provided by Unit

Unit faculty members are highly active in their contribution of presentations and performances on campus throughout the local community and throughout the country greatly contributing to the musical development of the entire university community Unit faculty members also are highly active in their professional collaborations and participation with local public schools Most major performances of Unit ensembles are available to local schools through special matinee performances

Performance

A primary objective of the Music Unit is to assist students in the development of a foundation of musical skills and knowledge for their personal expression through music performance and graduate study Both curricular and non-curricular approaches are utilized to attain this objective The Units applied music sequence recitals major and minor ensembles and the Music Units performance Seminars greatly contribute to this effort as does the Units vigorous schedule of campus and off-campus performances Such experiences represent integral

Page 38 of 60

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

SECTION III SUMMARY

Strengths

Page 39 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary strengths of the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The diversity variety and vitality of ensemble experiences provided as evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

2 The exemplary accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates as delineated within Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit

3 Stable Music enrollments and expanded curricular offerings and experiences that strategically focus on the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage

4 The Unitrsquos Strategic Plan which addresses longstanding programmatic issues

5 Our immediate Vision which seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices and to advances an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

6 The Unit facultyrsquos commitment to the delivery of a current quality curriculum as delineated within Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi and their documented commitment to the cultural enrichment of the Frankfort community and the University service area counties

7 The Unitrsquos wide variety of Music courses and experiences offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University

Most of the Music Units student body maintain better than a C average in all required music courses (with some exceptions that are detailed below) and upon reaching the appropriate level most have successfully completed the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination the Keyboard Proficiency Examination and their Applied Music Juries Additionally most students who have reached that level have successfully completed and performed their Junior andor Senior Recitals demonstrating a synthesis of their music study at the University Those students who have graduated and applied to graduate schools have generally been admitted without experiencing any difficulties or deficiencies

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

parts of the educational and cultural life of the University and the community For many years the Music Unit has held Thursday Performance Seminars (required for all music majors) where individual music students small ensembles and occasionally individual faculty members perform Each year on the University campus there are many recitals involving one or more faculty members visiting artists visiting orchestras and chamber groups University ensembles and individual students

Music students also have the opportunity to attend and present performances in other cities The level of involvement of music majors in performance goes beyond what is required in their curricula and includes performances for scholastic functions on campus performances for civic and church groups and extremely well received appearances at the annual in-serviceprofessional development conference of the Kentucky Music Educators Association Individual faculty and ensemble directors with the approval of the divisional chairperson are primarily responsible for securing off-campus performance opportunities for their respective students or ensembles Numerous instances occur when specific requests for performances are made on all such occasions the area central office serves as the conduit for requesting such performances

It also is a common expectation that performance faculty will serve as role models to our students through their performance ventures All applied faculty members are required to perform on-campus recitals regularly Such performances represent an integral component of the current faculty assessment measures Additionally off-campus recitals also are considered in such measures

Individual ensemble directors are primarily responsible for securing the itinerary for extended off-campus performances and tours All such performances require departmental approval based on the ensembles entire calendar of travel student availability the academic constraints that may be posed by such travel and any remuneration involved

Other Programmatic Activities

One of the major objectives of the Music Unit is to support and encourage its faculty members to develop and exhibit their professional and creative abilities through participation in research in exhibitions competitions recitals presentations publications consultation and similar activities The Exhibit E1e Curriculum Vitae and the Exhibit E1d Faculty Credentials Reporting Table provide sufficient evidence that such activities are occurring on a frequent basis

SECTION III SUMMARY

Strengths

Page 39 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary strengths of the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The diversity variety and vitality of ensemble experiences provided as evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

2 The exemplary accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates as delineated within Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit

3 Stable Music enrollments and expanded curricular offerings and experiences that strategically focus on the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary strengths of the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The diversity variety and vitality of ensemble experiences provided as evidenced by the quality and frequency of their performances

2 The exemplary accomplishments of the Unitrsquos graduates as delineated within Exhibit I21- Legacies of the KSU Music Unit

3 Stable Music enrollments and expanded curricular offerings and experiences that strategically focus on the unique diversity of the institution and its African-American heritage

4 The Unitrsquos Strategic Plan which addresses longstanding programmatic issues

5 Our immediate Vision which seeks to better infuse global and multicultural perspectives throughout our curricula and instructional practices and to advances an aesthetic and cultural environment vital to academic life and a global society within the 21st Century

6 The Unit facultyrsquos commitment to the delivery of a current quality curriculum as delineated within Exhibit IIB8 Comprehensive Compilation of Unit Course Syllabi and their documented commitment to the cultural enrichment of the Frankfort community and the University service area counties

7 The Unitrsquos wide variety of Music courses and experiences offered specifically for students not majoring in music at Kentucky State University

Most of the Music Units student body maintain better than a C average in all required music courses (with some exceptions that are detailed below) and upon reaching the appropriate level most have successfully completed the Sophomore Applied Music Proficiency Examination the Keyboard Proficiency Examination and their Applied Music Juries Additionally most students who have reached that level have successfully completed and performed their Junior andor Senior Recitals demonstrating a synthesis of their music study at the University Those students who have graduated and applied to graduate schools have generally been admitted without experiencing any difficulties or deficiencies

The Music Unit provides numerous opportunities for cultural and professional growth through a variety of concerts recitals seminars and clinics It continues to offer a limited variety of courses in music history and literature as well as music theory Those students who complete the music education curriculum generally meet all teacher certification requirements and gain employment in public schools throughout the nation

Opportunities

Page 40 of 60

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary opportunities facing the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The elimination of the deanship administrative level has served to increase the level of responsibility authority and accountability exercised by the music executive The current streamlined administrative structure offers significant opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

2 The Music Unitrsquos desire and efforts to maintain an exemplary population of scholars and musicians through both intrusive recruitment and retention

3 The revitalization of Operation Half-Notemdashan early childhood music institutemdash which has become dormant over the past seven years due to the loss of funding

4 The more effective measurement of teaching effectiveness and advancement of instructional improvement through the full implementation of IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5 The popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option and its potential for expansion

Challenges

The Self-Study has revealed the following as primary challenges to the Music Unit in no order of priority

1 The necessary austerity continued fiscal impediments increased tuition burden and mitigating issues resulting from sharp declines in the institutionrsquos overall full-time enrollment over the past five years

2 The previously (1996 2016 NASM self-studies) and presently identified need for additional classroom office practice and storage space which has yet to be fully addressed

3 The issue of clerical professional and technical support To ensure threshold compliance a primary recommendation for the expansion of support staff has been submitted to the University Provost and approval is now pending

4 While the Unitrsquos newly implemented Scholarship Guidelines and Award Procedures facilitates consistency and compliance with prescribed policies and our Strategic Plan articulates clear performance objectives and recruitment trajectories our efforts must be supported by the infusion of additional scholarship funding to attain those objectives and trajectories

5 While Music faculty positions has decreased from 13 full-time and 1 part-time in 2008 to a present 6 full-time and 3 part-time positions the aggregate experiences of this present cadre of dedicated professionals must be maintained in order to ensure

Page 41 of 60

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

threshold compliance regarding the size and scope of the Bachelor of Music degree program and support courses and services offered by the Music Unit

6 To pursue and ensure full compliance in documenting Student Learning Outcomes through such mechanisms as Exhibit IIB2 KSU Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Reports 2015-2016

Major Areas for Improvement

To summarize the Self-Study process has identified the following items as major areas for improvement to the Music Unit in order of priority

1st Maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of dedicated professionals and ensure continued threshold compliance

2nd Implementation of intrusive recruitment and retention strategies

3rd Secure additional scholarship funding to attain the Unitrsquos strategic objectives and trajectories

4th Fully implement IDEArsquos model of Student Evaluations of Instruction

5th Expand the Bachelor of Arts option

6th Secure additional clerical professional and technical support

7th Revitalization of Operation Half-Note

8th Secure additional classroom office practice and storage space

9th Take advantage of opportunities for advancing the goals and objectives of the Unit through the prism of the Music executive

Plans for Addressing Improvements Challenges and Opportunities

The Unitrsquos Self-Study efforts commenced two years ago and the process engaged all key stakeholders in the identification of compliance issues It has additionally allowed for significant opportunities to prioritize our efforts to strategically address perceived threats and opportunities to the Unit and its programs and substantial work has already been initiated

Since the Music Unit s Exhibit A2c DOFA Strategic Goals Objectives and Assessment Plan were subsequently developed and adopted by a consensus of the faculty they serve as specific standards for all faculty and programmatic assessment especially regarding Faculty expectations documenting Student Learning Outcomes programmatic improvements and the

Page 42 of 60

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

major areas for improvement items 2 and 4 articulated above When such improvements are recommended they are so implemented with full adherence to the stated goals and objectives Such mechanisms as the Annual Report of the Division of Fine Arts external program reviews the University strategic plan et al provide opportunities for such recommendations and improvements including the major areas for improvement items 4 and 5 articulated above

The present Music executive will continue to serve as an advocate to the institutionrsquos administration on behalf of the Music Unit especially regarding the major areas for improvement items 1368 and 9 articulated above He has maintained informed authority to reconfigure available position lines in order to maintain the aggregate experiences of the present cadre of the Unitrsquos faculty Additionally that cadre of faculty members continues to be highly engaged and successful in implementing the Unitrsquos strategic recruitment and retention strategies and those efforts will continue

As Exhibit B2 Listing of KSU Music Majors and Exhibit B3 Listing of Program Graduates- Ten Year Trend reflect a majority of the Unitrsquos students selects and completes the Music Education or especially the Bachelor of Arts options as opposed to the option in Performance As previously discussed within Section IIA pp 17-18 of this Self-Study and further discussed within the following item 2 of this section various factors have influenced student degree preferences especially the inordinate number of hours required for the Unitrsquos professional degrees While fewer students select the Performance option this is not interpreted as a weakness of the program The Music Unit has remained highly successful in placing performance graduates into graduate schools throughout the nation

One of the primary strengths of the Units professional programs in music is their comprehensive nature Curricula for both degree options are reflective of the Units wish to produce fully functioning fully knowledgeable musicians Nevertheless we do find that the popularity of the Bachelor of Arts option supports our observations that students are demonstrating a greater desire for interdisciplinary curricular experiences

As identified within the 2006 Self Study specific areas of the Bachelor of Music curricula presented the following two particular challenges to our students

1 At that time the failure rate in the Music Theory components of the curriculum exceeded the common expectations and desires of the Music Unit Subsequent investigations such as Exhibit IIB7 The Impact of Electronic Performance Assessments on Student Mastery and Persistence in Music Theory pp 10-16 have informed the Unit that readiness and prior knowledge and experience levels need not be detrimental to student mastery and success in music theory courses

2 While Music Teacher Education candidates performed remarkably well on the terminal PRAXIS II Subject Assessment Specialty Area Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) many performed poorly on the Math section of the PRAXIS I which assessed proficiencies in Math Reading and Writing Stated another way students who could attain program

Page 43 of 60

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space

admission were quite successful in completing all requirements for certification

The Unit implemented in 2015 the Accelerated Music Theory Courses that are intrusive expand meetings to four days a week and add a mandatory tutorial laboratory The preliminary results of the most recent cohorts indicates that the success rates in those courses is approaching 90 Additionally the Unit observed that the delay in attempting the PRAXIS I assessment was the primary factor in candidate abilities to successfully complete the component The Unit has now implemented aggressive advisement interventions that align the assessment with the completion of the required Liberal Studies Math and English courses Preliminary results of this strategy are highly promising

The Unit has been successful securing additional scholarship funding from the Kentucky State University Foundation over the past year Those funds were critical to our ability to meet our enrollment goals nevertheless the Music executive must and will continue to advocate for long-term solutions to this issue Additionally the Unit most recently submitted for approval Exhibit F3 Bachelor of Music Staff Facilities Equipment and Technology Enhancements which specifically and strategically seeks to address major areas for improvement items 5 6 and 7 articulated above

Finally as delineated within Section F of this Self-Study document the Unit continues to offer specific recommendations which will address the facilities needs of the Music Unit While those recommendations have yet to be fully addressed the Unit acknowledges that this issue is the most difficult to immediately ameliorate Nevertheless the Unit has recently exercised control over those factors for which it has direct authority to do so and our reconfigurations have resulted in additional practice and storage space
