Facilities

The School of Music and Dance’s five-unit building complex includes the 540-seat Beall Concert Hall, acclaimed for its superb acoustics; separate band, choir, and orchestra rehearsal rooms with support facilities; practice rooms; a small recital hall; studio offices, classrooms, and seminar rooms.

In 2008, two new wings were added to the MarAbel B. Frohnmayer Music Building, containing state-of-the-art, acoustically isolated teaching studios, classrooms, and practice rooms. The Leona DeArmond Academic Wing provides studios for the Suzuki Strings Program, a music education teaching laboratory, twenty-eight teaching studios, classrooms, and practice rooms. The Thelma Schnitzer Performance Wing contains a symphony-size rehearsal hall, dedicated rehearsal spaces for jazz and percussion studies, a recording studio, and additional practice rooms. Significant renovations were also made to the existing facilities.

Collier House—the second-oldest building on the UO campus—is listed as one of the school’s facilities. Built in 1885–86 by the Collier family, it is a rare example of a late Victorian house in bracketed style, with an Italianate-style interior popular in the Northwest in the late 1800s. Both the house and grounds are listed on the Inventory of Historic Sites and Structures. It has been a residence for a university president and a chancellor, a faculty club, a restaurant, and a meeting house–pub. In August 2004, music history faculty offices and the Early Music Program were moved to Collier House. A variety of courses, seminars, meetings, recitals, and programs are held there.

Music Services, located on the third floor of Knight Library, contains more than 41,000 recordings and 1,000 serials, including composers’ complete works, music reference resources, current and bound periodicals, interactive music CD-ROM programs, and a collection of more than 27,000 books and 51,000 scores. The Audio and Video Room (the Douglass Room) holds recordings (LPs, cassettes, and compact disks). Facilities include listening carrels with remote-control capability, individual listening rooms, and two group-listening rooms. The score and record collections’ strengths include music by Oregon composers, women composers, and contemporary publications provided by approval plans for recently published North American and European scores. The book collection includes a large German-language collection as well as standard music resources and most university press publications. Reference service to the collection is provided by Music Services. The complete music and recording collections are included in the UO Libraries online catalog.

The School of Music and Dance houses two pipe organs, including a nationally recognized organ by Jürgen Ahrend of East Friesland, Germany—a concert instrument unique in America—and a two-manual tracker organ by David Petty and Associates. Two of the five harpsichords available for student use are French doubles by William Dowd. The others are a German double by Keith Hill, an Italian by Owen Daly, and a Zuckerman single harpsichord. Nearly half of the collection of 125 pianos are Steinways, which includes six concert grands. All classrooms and practice rooms are equipped with grand or upright pianos, and piano majors have access to locked grand piano practice rooms. Other keyboard instruments include two clavichords and a modern group piano laboratory featuring Roland digital keyboards.

Future Music Oregon features a suite of outstanding studios for electroacoustic and new media composition that provide powerful, high-quality environments in which students learn and create. Studios are equipped with current software, digital mixers, and game controllers, with sensor-based interfaces for technological and artistic exploration.

The university owns an extensive collection of orchestral and band instruments and a distinctive collection of ethnic instruments and reproductions of early musical instruments.

The Pacific Rim Gamelan performs on the beautiful instruments of Gamelan Suranadi Sari Indra Putra, donated to the school in 1986 by John and Claudia Lynn of Eugene. The ensemble is a multicultural composing and performing orchestra, and works composed by its members use instruments from around the world as well as gamelan instruments.

Kyai Tunjung Mulya ("Noble Lotus Blossom") is a complete central Javanese court gamelan orchestra, consisting of more than eighty iron, brass, bronze, teak, and bamboo instruments. Classes and workshops in Javanese gamelan music are taught periodically by visiting musicians from Indonesia.

The Kammerer Computer Laboratory offers students the opportunity to become familiar with a variety of mainstream software for music notation as well as instructional software in music theory and aural skills. Other resources in the lab include MIDI (musical instrument digital interface), sound-generating and sequencing software programs; access to the Internet; e-mail; Microsoft Office applications; and Adobe graphic editing programs for academic use, exploration, and development of computer skills. The lab is equipped for digital audio editing. Our current software listing is Max/MSP, Microsoft Office, Apple Logic Studio, Finale, and Sibelius.

Concerts and Recitals

More than 250 concerts and recitals are presented on campus throughout the year by visiting artists, members of the School of Music and Dance faculty (Faculty Artist Series), and more than 40 student ensembles. Other regularly scheduled concerts include performances by internationally famous artists sponsored by the Chamber Music at Beall series and the World Music Series.

Hosted events include the Northwest Percussion Festival, Northwest Horn Society regional symposium, International Tuba Euphonium Association Northwest regional conference, American Liszt Society Festival, Northwest Suzuki Institute summer camp, Community Music Institute recitals, Carl Orff workshops, three high school summer music camps, and lectures from Robert M. Trotter Visiting Professors and the Steve Larson Distinguished Lecture Series.

The annual Vanguard Concert Series features 20th-century music in concerts and workshops. Nationally prominent artists give a public concert and hold workshops in which they read, rehearse, and record music composed for them by members of the Composers Forum.

The biennial Music Today Festival, founded and directed by Robert Kyr, is a series of concerts and cultural events that celebrates 20th- and 21st-century music from around the world. The festival features regional performers and ensembles as well as internationally renowned artists.

Jazz concerts and workshops by prominent artists offer opportunities for university students to perform. The Jazz Studies Program hosts the Oregon Jazz Celebration, an annual weekend festival that includes workshops for middle school, high school, and college jazz ensembles.

Since 1969, the School of Music and Dance has hosted the annual Oregon Bach Festival during a two-week period in late June and early July. The festival, founded by Helmuth Rilling and Royce Saltzman, combines an educational program in choral music for academic credit with the offering of some fifty public concerts and events. While the focus is Bach, major choral and instrumental works by other composers are programmed regularly. Distinguished soloists from around the world are featured with the festival chorus and orchestra. Every other year the School of Music and Dance offers a Composers Symposium in conjunction with the Oregon Bach Festival.

THEME (Theory, History, Ethnomusicology, Music Education)—a group of faculty members and graduate students interested in music research—meets three or four times a term on Friday afternoons to share the results of ongoing or recently completed research, discuss the profession of teaching and research, and hear guest speakers. Some recent guests are Anne Azéma, Michael Broyles, Thomas Christensen, Robert Duke, Allen Forte, Robert Gjerdingen, Douglas Hofstadter, Andrew Homzy, Vijay Iyer, Mark Johnson, Harald Krebs, Barbara Lundquist, Henry Martin, Margarita Mazo, Susan McClary, Ingrid Monson, Bruno Nettl, Alejandro Planchart, Harold Powers, Katharine Preston, Jihad Racy, Carl Schachter, Christopher Smith, Joseph Straus, Steven Strunk, Michael Tenzer, Alan Walker, and Keith Waters.

Financial Assistance

For complete information about financial aid, including loans, see the Student Financial Aid and Scholarships section of this catalog.

Scholarships

The University of Oregon School of Music and Dance gratefully acknowledges the generous contributions of individuals, foundations, businesses, and organizations that have established named endowed and annual scholarships for the benefit of music and dance students. More than $500,000 is awarded annually in music scholarships. Although a large portion of these are allocated for undergraduate study, limited scholarship funding is also available for graduate students. Information on music scholarships is available from the music admissions office of the School of Music and Dance, on the school’s website, or by telephone, 541-346-1164 or -5664.

Admitted undergraduate and graduate music majors are eligible for scholarships, which may be granted for up to four years. Most music awards are given on the basis of musical achievement and academic accomplishment. Some are given on the basis of financial need. To determine scholarship recipients, the music and dance faculty relies on the applicant’s academic record, application file, and an audition. Applicants are strongly encouraged to audition in person; however, recorded auditions are also considered.

Graduate Employees

A limited number of graduate employee (GE) positions are available to admitted graduate music majors. In addition to the fellowship stipend, tuition and health insurance coverage is paid by the university. For more information, applicants should contact the assistant dean of admissions and financial aid at 541-346-6191.

Performance Studies

Courses in performance studies are listed with the MUP subject code. Fees are required. These courses customarily include weekly lessons and studio master classes. MUP courses fall into two general categories:

• Basic and Intermediate Performance Studies: MUP 114, 115. 
• Performance Studies: MUP 165, 265, 270, 365, 465, 635, 650, 665, 765. 

Enrollment in any performance studies registration number between 165 - 765 must be preceded by an audition. Auditions are conducted to establish the appropriate registration number.

Enrollment in performance studies is sometimes limited because of faculty teaching loads. Under such circumstances, priority is given to continuing music majors. Students who are not assigned to a faculty member may study with a graduate employee for credit at extra cost.

Undergraduate Music Performance and Music Education students advance from one registration number to the next through area juries.

Performance studies courses carry 2 or 4 credits per term. Students giving recitals must be enrolled in performance studies. During the term of the recital, students may not enroll in Reading and Conference: [Topic] (MUS 405) or Reading and Conference: [Topic] (MUS 605) in preparation for their recital. Pre-recital hearings are required to evaluate the student’s readiness for public performance. After the recital, a faculty evaluation is required. If approval is given, the recital is formally acknowledged as a fulfilled degree requirement.

For details concerning specific registration numbers, repertory, and any other questions, please contact the individual studio faculty members.

Music Performance majors whose primary instrument is piano have an accompanying requirement, described under the Bachelor of Music in Music Performance heading in the Undergraduate section.

Admission

Students who are eligible for admission to the university may apply to the School of Music and Dance as music majors. For information about admission to the University of Oregon, refer to the Admissions section of this catalog.

Application Procedure

1. Complete the University of Oregon application for admission
2. Review the school's undergraduate music major admission requirements
3. Complete the school's online application

Grad School Requirements

Column 1	Column 2
Early action—submit UO and School of Music and Dance applications	November 1
Early action—undergraduate auditions; recorded auditions and music technology portfolios	Mid-November
School of Music and Dance standard application deadline	January 15
Undergraduate audition days; recorded auditions and music technology portfolios due	Late January through February
School of Music and Dance mails admission and scholarship offers	April 1

For audition dates and submission deadlines for recordings and portfolios, visit the undergraduate music admissions website.

Auditions

In many degree programs, the audition is the most important factor in determining admission to the School of Music and Dance. As part of the admission process, applicants to most music degree programs must either audition (in person or via recording) or submit a portfolio (the option for applicants to the music technology program). Students who submit recorded auditions may be required to audition in person upon arrival on campus. Auditions for admission are held in November, January, and February. Each student who auditions for admission is automatically considered for a music scholarship. For more detailed information about repertory and procedure, visit the School of Music and Dance admissions website.

An audition is not required for admission to the BA or BS in music with theory, history & literature, general music or popular music studies concentrations.

Jazz Studies

Students who want to enter the jazz studies major have a jazz audition. In addition, a placement examination specific to jazz studies is required of transfer students wishing to enter the program.

Music Technology

Students who want to enter the music technology program must submit a portfolio. A classical audition is not required for admittance to the bachelor or science music technology degree program. However, students admitted only on the basis of a portfolio are only considered for the music technology program and are not eligible to pursue other degree programs within the school.

English Language Proficiency

Scores for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) are required for students whose first language is not English. For admittance as an undergraduate music major, English language proficiency requirements must be met by one of the following: a minimum total TOEFL score of 575 on the paper-based test or a minimum total score of 88 on the Internet-based test; a minimum total score of 7.0 on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS); or completion of all required Academic English for International Students (AEIS) course work.

Placement Examinations

Incoming music majors may take a musicianship diagnostic, which is designed to assess basic skills in theory, ear training and keyboard skills. In addition, all transfer students are required to take a music core placement examination, which determines level placement in music theory, aural skills, and keyboard skills courses. Incoming freshman students may choose to take the music core placement exam (for the purpose of testing out of part of the music core). Study guides for the placement are available from the music undergraduate website.

Admission to a Specific Degree Program

Students are placed in their primary program of choice, as indicated on their School of Music and Dance application, upon Initial admission to the school. Requirements for continued enrollment in music majors vary significantly, as outlined in the chart below. Additional information is available from the undergraduate office.

Program Overlap Limitations

Due to significant curricular overlap, concurrent pursuit of the following music programs is not allowed:

• Music minor with any other major or minor program in music
• Music technology major with music technology minor
• Music technology major with audio production minor
• Music major with general music or popular music studies concentrations with any bachelor of music (BMus) or bachelor of music in music education (BMME) degree

In addition, it is not possible to pursue a bachelor of arts or bachelor of science in music with multiple concentrations.

Total Credits		41

1	For some majors, one to three terms of Analysis: [Topic] (MUS 327) may be required beyond the two-year musicianship core. For details, see checklist.

Satisfactory Progress toward the Degree

Satisfactory progress toward the degree is monitored every term by the SOMD Undergraduate Office.  The following conditions must be maintained for good academic standing within the department:

1. Students must maintain a 3.0 GPA for all classes taken with the subject codes MUS, MUP, MUE and MUJ within a given term.
2. Courses must be taken for a grade if the graded option is offered. Majors must earn a C– or better in every course—including courses taken outside the School of Music and Dance—that is required for their major. A student who receives a grade of D+ or worse or a mark of W (withdrawal) or I (incomplete) for a required course is placed on departmental academic warning.
3. Candidates for the BMus, BMME, BA in Music (History and Literature concentration), BA in Music (Theory concentration), or BS in Music (Music Technology concentration) must successfully complete the two-year musicianship core (with the exception of MUS 327 Analysis)   within their first two years of residence.
4. Candidates for a BMus in Music Performance or a BMME in Music Education must advance to the next performance level at least once every seven terms.

Not meeting these requirements will result in initial academic warning status.  If this status is not lifted by the end of the next term in which the student has had the opportunity to remedy the situation, the student will move on to a level II departmental academic warning.  Failure to improve per conditions set forth in an advising plan following the warning will move the student onto probationary status and subsequent failure to improve thereafter will result in dismissal from the music major.

Reinstatement to the major may occur upon review by the SOMD Undergraduate Office and determination that the student has fulfilled the conditions listed above for satisfactory standing. 

Undergraduate music majors re-enrolling after two or more consecutive terms of non-enrollment in the music major curriculum (excluding summer session) are required to petition for readmission to the music major. Depending on the results of this petition, a student may be required to reapply for music major admission through standard music admission processes or re-audition for level placement in performance studies as a music major. Placement exams in theory, aural skills, and keyboard skills may also be required. In addition, undergraduate majors admitted to a specific degree program prior to being un-enrolled for two or more consecutive terms may also be required to re-apply for admittance to that specific degree program by their major department or area. Students studying abroad or in an approved exchange program are exempt from the readmission petition requirement.
