The mission of the School of Music is to provide a comprehensive, rigorous, and innovative academic program that is consistent with the urban context and mission of Georgia State University and that serves the pursuit of artistic, professional, and scholarly excellence through experiences of lasting value for all stakeholders.

The School of Music meets this mission by providing all university students with courses designed to help them understand and enjoy music, and by offering Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Science degrees that prepare students for careers in music or further study at the graduate level. The undergraduate degrees in music include specializations in performance, music education, music composition, jazz studies, music recording technology, and music management. In addition to courses and degree programs, the School of Music offers concerts, recitals, lectures, and workshops that are open to all students and the community.

The School of Music is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music. It participates in the Honors program and offers Honors courses in music. The School of Music also offers scholarships that are awarded to students based on their musical merit and academic achievement.

The School of Music is located in the historic Fairlie-Poplar District in downtown Atlanta. Four buildings comprise the Music Complex: the Haas-Howell Building at 75 Poplar Street; the Rialto Center for the Performing Arts at 80 Forsyth Street; the Standard Building at 92 Luckie Street; and the Aderhold Learning Center at 60 Luckie Street, which houses instrumental and choral rehearsal halls. Some classes are held in the Arts and Humanities Building at 10 Peachtree Center Avenue. Chamber music, faculty, and student recitals are presented in the Kopleff Recital Hall in the Arts and Humanities Building. Large ensembles perform throughout the academic year in the Rialto Theater, an 850-seat, state-of-the-art performance venue located in the heart of downtown Atlanta.

Program Academic Regulations

Undergraduate music degrees (B. Mus and B.S.) require students to take general education courses in the sciences and humanities, courses in musical foundations, and courses in a concentration of their choice. Foundation courses include music performance, piano, music theory, and music history/literature. In addition to foundation courses, students must complete courses in a concentration. Available concentrations for the B. Mus degree are: performance, composition, music technology (recording), music education, and jazz studies. The music management curriculum leads to a B.S. degree. Some concentrations have specializations that are detailed below.

Advisement

Entering students should meet with the Admissions and Enrollment Coordinator of the School of Music to receive initial advisement, at which time the student will be assigned to a faculty advisor. Students should meet with their faculty advisor every semester. Students seeking to change their concentration should see the Admissions and Enrollment Coordinator of the School of Music.

Explanation of Applied Music Levels

Applied music consists of individual or small-group performance instruction in a student's principal performing medium. All music majors must study applied music as part of their degree programs.

• 1000 level: Introductory. May be used by students who are admitted to the School of Music but who wish to study in a secondary area. With permission, introductory level courses may also be used by music minors or approved non-majors. 1000 level applied music classes are not applicable to degree requirements in a student's principal performing medium. Authorization is required. One credit hour per semester; one half-hour lesson each week:
• 1001/1002 level: Freshman level. One or two credit hours per semester; one hour lesson per week.
• 2001/2002 level: Sophomore level. One or two credit hours per semester; one hour lesson per week.
• 3001/3002 level: Junior level. One or three credit hours per semester; one hour lesson per week.
• 4001/4002 level: Senior level. One or three credit hours per semester; one hour lesson per week.

Musical Ensembles

Musical ensembles (choral groups, jazz ensembles, orchestra, and wind ensembles) are open to all Georgia State University students by audition. Non-music majors should contact the School of Music or the appropriate ensemble director for information on scheduling an audition.

Every student who is registered for applied music is required to enroll in a conducted ensemble. A music student may be required to perform in more than one ensemble. Factors considered in making assignments will include the specific needs and abilities of the student and the requirements of the various ensembles.

All music majors (with the exception of music education) are required to complete a minimum of eight credit hours of ensemble. Only one credit hour of ensemble per semester may be applied to the total. Assignments to specific ensembles are made each fall semester through "pool" auditions. Students are required to perform in those ensembles to which they are assigned. Students in the jazz studies concentration may count four credit hours of jazz band toward the eight required credit hours of large ensemble. Vocal jazz does not count as a large ensemble.

The Applied Cluster

Music students who register for applied music must also register for both chamber music/performance laboratory and a large ensemble. These activities are collectively known as the Applied Cluster. Students may be required to participate in studio classes, labs, and/or master classes as required by private instructors.

Concert Attendance (Mus 1100)

Music majors must successfully complete six semesters of concert attendance (MUS 1100). MUS 1100 is a zero credit hour course. Credit may be granted to transfer students for documented concert attendance requirements at prior institutions.

Program Degree Requirements

In addition to the Program Degree Requirements, students must fulfill the College of Arts and Sciences Degree Requirements and the University Degree Requirements.

Admission to a Concentration

Music students must pass a qualifying examination for entrance to their concentration during their fourth semester of applied study. Information about qualifying examinations is available from the School of Music office.

Music education faculty evaluate each music education student prior to student teaching in order to determine their qualifications.

These qualifications are (1) an overall GPA of 2.5 or above, (2) a GPA of at least 2.5 in all music courses, (3) grades of C or higher in all of the courses in the concentration, and (4) grades of B or higher in all music education methods courses. Music education students must also demonstrate teaching competence as determined by the music education faculty and must demonstrate a record of professional attributes and personal behaviors suitable for placement in a school with children.

Application for Entry to Teacher Education

Music education majors must file a formal application for entry into teacher education using the form available in the College of Education's Office of Academic Assistance (also available at education.gsu.edu/main/3055.htm) or supplied by the music education faculty. Students must apply for entry into teacher education concurrent with their applications for practicum/internship (MUS 4260 or 4310). This normally occurs upon completion of 60 hours of course work, including courses required in Areas A through D and EDUC 2110. Students must have passed the GACE I (a test of basic reading, writing, and mathematics skills) and Regents' exams.

Double-Numbered Courses

Students may only receive credit for one level of a double-numbered course, with the exception of courses for which they are required to register in more than one semester.

Minor in Music

The School of Music offers minors in music and music management. A background in music is helpful but not necessary. Each minor requires 18 semester hours of course work in music, 9 of which must be at the 3000-4000 level. Courses include music theory, music history, performance, and electives. Certain courses entail prerequisites that may not count toward the 18 credits required for the minor. Students interested in either minor should contact the School of Music main office at 404/413-5900 for further information. An advising appointment is required before students may accumulate credits toward the minor.
