The Department of Music

101 Fine Arts Bldg. • Box 19105 • 817-272-3471 • www.uta.edu/music

The University of Texas at Arlington is a member of the National Association of Schools of Music.

The Department of Music offers the Bachelor of Music degree

(1) in preparation for teacher certification (All-Level, Secondary); (2) in Performance (Brass, Keyboard, Percussion, Strings, Voice, Woodwinds); (3) in Theory/Composition; (4) in Jazz Studies; (5) with emphasis in Music/Business; (6) with emphasis in Music/Theatre; and (7) with emphasis in Music/Media. Music students must meet all the requirements of one of these specializations to receive the Bachelor of Music degree. All degree plans leading to a Bachelor of Music degree include offerings which provide a solid foundation in music theory, history, and literature and require a concentration in a specific instrument/voice.

The art of music holds a prominent place in the historical quest to enrich and improve life through the creative arts. The desire for music is basic and universal—to experience it and to express oneself through it. The mission of the Music Department is to further the quest for enrichment and to nurture beauty, knowledge, and excellence through studying and experiencing the science and art of music.

The Music Department's goals and objectives for academic and aesthetic enrichment of the university and the extended community include: (1) offering curricula leading to a baccalaureate degree that provide each student with the opportunity to realize his/her inherent musical potential, (2) offering career options within the baccalaureate degree that recognize and tap students' special abilities and talents to make contributions of excellence in the fields of music, and (3) preparing students for graduate study and/or professional careers in music by meeting curricula criteria, performance standards, and academic expectations.

All prospective music majors must audition for proper placement in their respective performance areas and take a music theory placement test. Information concerning auditions and placement tests is available in the Music Office.

All music majors complete an extended evaluation in applied music at the end of their fourth semester of performance studies. Students pursuing the Performance option must receive permission from the applied jury before enrolling in the junior- and senior-level performance courses. Students on music scholarships must maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA for scholarship renewal.

All students are strongly urged to refer to the sections on Academic Regulations and Degree Programs in the current UTA Undergraduate Catalog. Students seeking teacher certification are strongly advised to read the Professional Teacher Education section concerning admission to teacher education programs, student teaching, and state requirements for certification.

In addition to fulfilling University and the College of Liberal Arts requirements for admission to a degree program, students planning to be music majors must also fulfill the following Music Department requirements.
