FOREWORD
Dear Advocate of Music:
On behalf of the entire Music Program of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts, let me thank
you for your interest in the Music Program at NORTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURAL & TECHNICAL
STATE UNIVERSITY. The information contained herein will provide you with an overview of the
Music Program and resources available for the intellectual development of our students.
Accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), the Music Program prides itself as
being the “little giant” of the University. The approximate 7:1 student to teacher ratio provides the
opportunity for immediate professional attention and academic assistance at the time it is needed. The
highly-qualified faculty brings to the Program their experiences representing preparation in the world’s
finest colleges, universities, and professional venues.
The three undergraduate degree programs prepare students for careers in education (Bachelor of Science
in Music Education), professional performance (Bachelor of Arts in Performance) or preparation for
Electronic Music, Musical Theater, and Pre-Music Therapy through an interdisciplinary program
(Bachelor of Arts in General Music). Some of these programs may include internships and/or other
adjunct learning experiences as a part of their intellectually-challenging academic experiences.
Performance experiences in the curricula include the highly-rated University Concert, Symphonic and
Marching Bands, the University Choirs, the Jazz Ensemble, Chamber Singers, Opera Workshop, Brass,
Woodwind and Percussion Ensembles. For those whose orientation is toward music electronics and
engineering, there is also an Electronic Music Laboratory.
We encourage you to peruse this information carefully as you make your academic considerations.
Should there be the need for additional information, please call the numbers listed on the cover of this
document, send an email, and/or come for a personal visit with us.
Sincerely,
Dr. John P. Henry, Jr.
Associate Professor of Music
Music Program Director

A Brief History of the Music Program
The Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina granted its first Bachelor of Science
degrees in Instrumental Music in 1940. At that time, the following statement was made:
The principal and ultimate aim of the course in Music is therefore
directed toward the development of real interest in music and a sincere
desire to understand and enjoy it more fully. The curriculum is designed
to give further preparation for the students of talent primarily interested in
learning music and influencing the cultural development of the community
by much needed musical activities in rural as well as urban centers.
In keeping with the above statement, the courses of instruction were: Elements of Music,
Elementary Harmony, Advanced Harmony and Analysis, Introduction to the Study of
Music, the History of Music, Public School Music Methods (elementary, junior and senior high
schools), Orchestration and Band.
Since those humble beginnings, the Program has continued to develop and expand its
offerings. In 1992, it achieved accreditation by the National Association of Schools of
Music (NASM), and now offers three undergraduate degree programs: The original
Bachelor of Sciences Degree in Music Education, the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music
Performance (instrumental and vocal), and the Bachelor of Arts Degree (general music), which
was designed by the Music Faculty as an interdisciplinary liberal arts degree, combining the
study of music with six other possible sub-disciplines.
Graduates of the division have historically represented “Dear A&T” well. They have performed
on the stages of the leading opera companies, jazz halls, theaters, and classrooms from the most
prestigious universities and conservatories of the world, and in nearly every conceivable music-
related endeavor. In 2001, the Music Program merged with Visual Arts, Theater and Dance to
become part of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts.

The purpose of this document is to provide information and guidance to persons who have an
interest in the Music Program, and students pursuing academic major studies in Music. This handbook may
also be of assistance to persons in academia who would seek to receive accurate advice, or give guidance
to students seeking various intellectual relationships with the Music Program.
a. Admission to The University
The policies, criteria and procedures for gaining admission to the University are outlined in great
detail in the university Catalog. The Music Program urges persons seeking enrollment to avail themselves
to the information provided in that document. If there is a need to secure copies of the Bulletin, please
direct your request to:
The Office of Admissions

c. Tuition Surcharge Statement
(Bulletin Link: http://www.ncat.edu/divisions/academic-affairs/bulletin/2014-2015/index.html)
The University Bulletin previously cited in this document states the following, concerning Tuition
Surcharges:
The 1993 Regular Session of the General Assembly enacted a special provision directing the Board
of Governors to impose a 25% tuition surcharge on students who take more than 140 degree credit
hours to complete a baccalaureate degree in a four year program, or more than 110% of the credit
hours necessary to complete a baccalaureate degree in any program officially designated by the
Board as a five-year program. Effective with the fall 1994 semester, all new undergraduates seeking
a baccalaureate degree at North Carolina A. & T. State University are subject to this tuition
surcharge. The surcharge cannot be waived for out-of-state students and does not apply to required
fees. The calculation of these credit hours taken at the University or transferred from a constituent
10
institution of the University of North Carolina shall exclude hours earned through the College
Board’s Advance Placement or CLEP examinations, through institutional advanced placement or
course validation, through summer term or extension programs, or excess hours taken during 8
semesters for a four year or excess hours taken during 10 semesters for a five year program.
There are no current five-year degree programs offered in the Music Department.
d. Financial Aid
Many students matriculating in the Music Program are recipients of some form of Financial Aid.
The Higher Education Act requires that financial aid recipients maintain satisfactory academic progress
toward a degree to receive assistance. Satisfactory academic progress for students receiving Title IV
assistance means that students are expected to maintain no less than the following:
Semester Number Grade Point Average Semester Hrs
One 1.7 12
Two 1.8 24
Three 1.9 36
Four 2.0 48
Five 2.0 60
Six 2.0 72
Seven 2.0 84
Eight 2.0 96
During any year in which a student receives financial assistance, the student must pass eighty percent (80%)
of hours attempted.

General Education Course List
http://www.ncat.edu/provost/general_education_resources/general_education_course_list/
12
Degrees Offered In Music
The Music Program offers three-degrees. The Bachelor of Arts degree in General Music, the
Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Performance, and the Bachelor of Science degree in Teacher
Education are designed to accommodate students who wish to enter some area of music other than teaching
K-12. The other program is a teacher-education based curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science degree
in Teacher Education, with either a choral or instrumental concentration. Students who intend to teach
in the public schools are strongly urged to follow this curriculum in order to meet the requirements for
licensure. Only under the exceptional circumstances will the Program make professional recommendations
in support of persons attempting to enter teaching areas without the proper academic preparation: the
Bachelor of Science degree in Teacher Education.
In subsequent pages of this document, the specific requirements for each degree program will be
outlined. The requirements for each degree program may differ, and are not necessarily interchangeable.
Affected persons are advised to check the programs very carefully.
a . Admission to the Program as a Music Major/Transfer Student
Admission to the undergraduate degrees in the Music Program is based upon the general admission
requirements of the University. For certified admission to the study of music as a major, the prospective
music student must satisfactorily pass an audition set by a panel of the Music Faculty in the principal applied
music area a they must, must meet the required high school GPA of 2.5 or better. In addition to the audition,
a music theory placement examination is required. Transfer students must follow the same process, as well
other requirements by the Office of Transfer Articulation.
b. Retention as a Major
To continue in the Music Program as a major, a student must maintain a “C” (2.8) average in all
music courses. Students whose averages fall below 2.8 will be placed on probation for the following
semester of enrollment.
Student progress will be evaluated at the end of the fourth semester of enrollment to determine
approval for enrollment into upper level (Junior classification, Music courses). The faculty and
administration of the Program reserves the right to terminate the tenure of students who demonstrate an
unwillingness to conform to established standards.
13
c. Academic Advisement
Each major is assigned to a Music faculty member for advisement in matters of curriculum, issues
related to their progress through the program, and are required to enroll in Recital Seminar MUSI 307.
Students should consult with their advisor a minimum of four visits per semester to gain the benefit of their
experience and expertise. The advisor has the responsibility for guiding the students through their academic
career at the University. Students have the responsibility of availing themselves to this counsel and the
responsibility of following through with the advice provided. Each advisor will submit to the Music
Director at various intervals a list of students doing unsatisfactory work. The Music Director will meet
with those students immediately to try and determine a possible solution for the unsatisfactory work.
e. Performance Ensembles
Each student with a major in music is required to maintain continuous membership in a
departmentally sanctioned performance ensemble directly relating to the major instrument. This must be
done every semester of enrollment in the Music Program. Music education majors, who cannot participate
during the semester in which they are doing their student teaching, are the only exception. Program
sanctioned ensembles include the following: University Bands (marching, concert, and symphonic),
University Choir, Jazz Ensemble and chamber ensembles that include the Chamber Singers, Percussion,
Woodwind, and Brass ensembles. However, participation in more than a single academic ensemble is
possible and encouraged, provided that there are no schedule conflicts or violation of University policy
concerning student course load.
f. Recital Seminar
Music 307 (Recital Seminar) is required each semester of enrollment as a major in the Program.
Also, attendance is required for all Music majors at student or faculty recitals, band, choir, chamber
ensemble concerts, and Lyceum programs that involve musical performance. A systematic method of
checking and recording attendance will be used. The grade will be determined by attendance and specific
requirements and rules will be set forth in the syllabus for this class.
14
g. Instruments, Music and Practice Facilities
Several studios are provided as practice facilities for students in the Frazier and Dudley Buildings.
The hours of availability will be determined by the Music Director and University Police. Each studio
contains a piano which is tuned regularly and repaired. These areas are reserved for Music Majors only,
and each person using the practice space assumes the responsibility for the maintenance of the instrument
provided. Those persons’ desiring the use of the studio must consult with the program director and follow
guidelines set forth by the University Events Center for scheduling the use of any facility on campus.
With the exception of piano students, all music majors are required to furnish an instrument for
personal use in performance classes. University-owned instruments are primarily intended for the use of
non-major students and ensemble members to complete the necessary instrumentation as needed. A limited
number of University-owned instruments will be provided for the instruction of music majors involved in
music education classes. All Music majors must purchase their music. Photocopies are not allowed.

APPENDIX A
PROCEDURES FOR JURY EXAMINATION
The purposes of the Applied Music Jury Examination Are:
(1) To serve as a final examination for each semester of study on the principal instrument.
(2) To safeguard the integrity of the teacher and the interests of the student due to the
highly subjective nature of the evaluation process.
(3) To ensure that a satisfactory standard of performance is maintained.
(4) To provide data that will aid in the counseling and guidance of students who have
academic problems in the study of music.
Such examinations are given individually to each student either during or immediately prior to the official
period established for final examinations. The entire faculty of the music program will sit as the jury for
each student. Evaluations are made on a standardized rating sheet designed for each medium of
performance. A record of each examination to which a student is subjected will be placed on file in his
departmental folder.
The jury will be concerned with the knowledge understanding, and general musicianship indicated in the
teaching outlines for each course level. Evaluations are made on each student’s performance of
representative literature that he has studied during the current semester which exhibits his satisfaction of
the objectives sought at that course level. The selection of literature is critical since the performance of
isolation of scales, arpeggios, ornaments, technical exercises, etc. is not a creditable basis for evaluation ad
thereby unsuitable for examination materials.
The result of the jury examination will be weighted as one-fourth of the final grade. The remaining
components of the final grade which are the recital performance and the weekly performance during lessons
will be weighted at one-fourth and one-half respectively. Each member of the faculty will tabulate the final
grade for his/her applied music students.
I. BEFORE THE EXAMINATION:
A. Consult with your applied teacher to determine exactly what literature you will be
expected to perform.
B. Prepare your performance literature well in advance so that nervousness and tension
are minimized.
C. Make Four (4) copies each of your performance literature to be given to the Faculty
panel of jurors on the day and at the time of your examination. These copies will be
returned to your applied teacher. The process of copying music is the responsibility of the
individual student, not the teacher or the Music Program. Students who report to the jury
late or without the appropriate copies will not be examined.
D. Prepare a brief sketch of the composer(s) of your performance literature and include:
DMA in Percussion Performance and a Cognate in Percussion Pedagogy
and Music Education, University of North Carolina at Greensboro
31
• Full name of composer;
• dates; period/form and/or style of the composition(s),
• and if composition(s) is/are excerpt(s) of an extended work, identify the work(s).
• This information will be announced in a brief oral statement prior to the actual
presentation.
E. Report to the jury site at least Thirty(30) minutes before time for your examination.
This time should be spent in warming and tuning your instrument and preparing
for the performance.
F. Be flexible, as the actual Exam Times may run plus or minus ten minutes.
II. YOUR JURY EXAMINATION
A. Enter the Examination Room with a positive, professional attitude, ready to
present your absolute best in performance.
B. Announce your performance composition (as described in I. D)
C. Perform as directed.
D. Answer questions from panel (when asked in a brief but concise manner.)
Questions will be directly related to your applied music study and/or your
presented literature.
E. Leave promptly when dismissed.
III. AFTER THE EXAMINATION A. Check with your applied music teacher for a complete review of your
examination. You may also request a listing of music that you will need for the
following semester.
In keeping with university policy, the Music Program seeks to avoid penalizing the promising student for
faulty pre-college preparation due to the lack of opportunity. Upon the recommendation, of the applied
teacher, a student who shows substantial progress and promise, but does not completely satisfy the
objectives for a course level may pass the jury examination and the course with the stipulation that said
student successfully complete an additional semester of applied study at that same level. However, for a
student who is unable to progress in applied music at a normal rate by the end of the sophomore year (fourth
semester), the Program Director will request that the student change to another major discipline wherein a
greater success level may be enjoyed.

APPENDIX B
PROCEDURES GOVERNING PRESENTATIONS OFJUNIOR AND
SENIOR RECITALS (MUSI 450, Junior Recital; MUSI 550: Senior Recital and MUSI 593:
Applied Performance Recital)
The following steps represent the only method for the production of a senior recital sanctioned by the Music
Program and its faculty.
I. Time Frames
A. Music for Recitals shall be assigned in a timely manner so that the students
shall have reasonable time for preparation,
B. Recital dates shall be requested of the Program Director at the beginning of
the projected performance semester (no later that two weeks into the affected
semester),
C. At the beginning of the Semester which the recital is to be performed, the
selection of an accompanist must be finalized, and the music provided to the
accompanist(s) for timely preparation.
D. At the point where the Studio Teacher determines that the candidate is well
prepared, that studio teacher will request that the Program Director schedule a
Faculty Jury Hearing. The hearing must occur no less than two week prior to the
scheduled recital date.
II Recital Schedule
A. Scheduling of recitals rests with the Applied Teacher, who will formally
request a recital date and hearing for approval by the Program Director.
B. Recital performances will be scheduled at reasonable times.
C. The assigned date is the date that the student must present the recital.
Rescheduling will only be considered by the Studio Teacher, who will request
permission of the Program Director. Rescheduling will be considered only in the
strongly documented evidence of a serious personal illness, death, or other
unforeseen circumstance.
D. Lack of preparation on the part of the student is not considered as grounds for
rescheduling, and will not be entertained.
III. Recital Locations
A. The following sites on campus are recommended for Senior Recitals. One may go
off campus for presentation of the Senior Recital but this may be done only with
the Program Director’s permission. Some Facilities on campus and off campus
may require that the student bear the responsibility of renting and tuning a piano
for the occasion.
1. Harrison Auditorium - Students should be aware that there may be
last-minute scheduling conflicts in this Hall.
33
2. Student Union Building- Students may use the Stallings Ballroom and the
Exhibition Hall. The piano in these areas are not suitable for recitals and the
student will have to bear the financial responsibility of renting a piano.
3. Frazier Hall Room 122 is highly recommended as it has a grand
piano suitable for a recital performance.
4. The Multi-Purpose room in Dudley Building may be used for recitals when a
