The Department of Music of Heidelberg College serves the student, the academic community
and the surrounding community-at-large through the offering of courses, degree programs and
cultural activities. Aware of the importance of music as an academic discipline, the Department
of Music provides a broad musical background, allowing a student to enter one of the musical
professions, continue with the study of music at the graduate level, or pursue music as an
avocation. Through the development of skills in performance, musicianship, critical thinking
and creativity, the music student is able to appreciate the value of the musical arts and to
become an advocate for music in the wider community.
In addition to the general requirements for admission to Heidelberg, an applicant to the Department
of Music must audition to demonstrate musical achievement in the area of study. Placement tests
are used to determine the musical background and present musical knowledge of entering students.
DEGREES
A four-year program is offered leading to the degree of Bachelor of Music with a choice of
major and secondary performing mediums. Fields of specialization include: Performance,
Performance with an emphasis in pedagogy, Music Education with a vocal emphasis or
instrumental emphasis, Music Industry (combining music and business), and Theory/
Composition. A Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science degree with a major in music is available.
Students qualified by examination to pursue two major performing mediums will plan their
schedules in consultation with the Chair of the department. An extra fee may be charged for
carrying two applied majors. Students who wish to meet music education requirements while
preparing for professional careers in applied music must complete the requirements for both the
Performance major and Music Education. The completion of this program requires five years or
the equivalent. Degree from the music department.
Departmental Policies
The following policies have been instituted to maintain high standards of performance proficiency:
Examinations in performance are administered at the end of each semester.
In order to guide and assist students in preparation, permission of the instructor is required
for performances outside the music department.
All students majoring in music, either on the BMUS or the A.B./B.S. degree, must attend
faculty and student recitals and other College music programs in accordance with a
statement published at the beginning of each semester.
Music courses: Music majors may not earn a grade below "C" in their music courses, unless
waived by the Department. Under no circumstance may more than one grade below "C-" be
waived. Please consult the Department of Music Student Handbook for a list of music courses
by degree that apply to this rule.
The major ensembles are Concert Choir, College-Community Chorus, College-Community
Orchestra and Symphonic Band. Only these ensembles will generate credit which will accrue
for degree requirements.
All Music Majors, including the B.M. and the B.A./B.S. degrees, must register for a major
ensemble that is appropriate to their major performance area during each semester of
enrollment, a minimum of eight hours of credit. Exceptions to this rule will be considered
for the following reasons: international study opportunities, internship requirements resulting
from a second major, music students who are enrolled through the Lifelong Learning Program.
Voice majors will be assigned to the appropriate choral ensemble. Wind and percussion majors
receiving music scholarships are expected to participate in major ensembles as needed. Piano
majors may, with permission of the applied instructor and approval of the Department Chair,
substitute up to 3 semesters of piano chamber music experience (major ensemble, Section F) for
major ensemble credit.
Any music major enrolled in applied instruction (either private or group) in a secondary area(s)
must concurrently participate in an ensemble laboratory experience related to that applied area.
In addition to any Major Ensemble, Lab Band and Lab Orchestra will satisfy this requirement.
These ensemble laboratory experiences need not exceed degree requirements.
In addition to their major ensemble, vocal majors in music education will register for 2 semesters
of instrumental ensemble (laboratory ensembles may satisfy this requirement) while instrumental
majors in music education will register for 2 semesters of vocal ensemble. Keyboard majors
in music education may have either combination or equal hours in each. Wind and percussion
majors in music are required to participate in Pep Band unless excused.
Minimum basic requirements in piano, voice and orchestral instruments in secondary areas for
the degree in music may be met by examination when the student enters the College or at any
later examination period.
If additional applied hours are elected beyond the normal programmed applied hours, an extra
fee is charged. The approval of the Chair of the department is required.
All students must register for Performance Class each semester. This is a 0 credit activity course
and therefore does not affect the total hours enrolled each semester. A P (passing) grade based
on attendance is necessary for graduation.
All students majoring in music must demonstrate a basic proficiency in keyboard skills. Please
see individual degree grids for specific requirements related to hours of study. A piano proficiency
exam is required of all music majors. Students enrolled in the following programs must complete
the requirements of MUS 091, Piano Proficiency I: Bachelor of Music: Performance, Music
Industry, Theory/Composition; Bachelor of Arts/Science with a Music Major. Students enrolled
in the following programs must complete the requirements of MUS 092 Piano Proficiency II:
Bachelor of Music: Music Education, Performance/Pedagogy. Students who have not passed the
proficiency at either level will be offered one semester of remedial piano class instruction.
If the appropriate proficiency is passed before the number of piano hours required for the degree
are complete, a student may complete the required hours through piano instruction, or, with the
permission of the keyboard faculty, elect to study organ.
A student may change the area of concentration in applied music until the end of the sophomore
year with approval of the jury prior to the change and observing the following provisos: a) a
student in Music Education or Music Industry must accrue credit hours in the new applied area
equivalent to the required hours in the junior and senior years; b) a student in Performance or
Pedagogy must accrue credit hours in the new applied area equivalent to the required hours in
the sophomore, junior and senior years; c) a student in Theory/Composition must accrue the
total hours required for the major.
Students enrolled in the music education program are subject to a review of their academic
progress after three semesters of full-time study. Please consult the Department of Music
Student Handbook for specific details of the review process.
All students majoring in music shall perform as a soloist in a recital setting. The type of recital shall
be based on the degree in which students are enrolled. Senior recitals must be approved by a recital
screening jury, in accordance with a statement published annually. The specific requirements are:
A. Bachelor of Music - in Performance (including Pedagogy Emphasis) or Theory/Composition
A junior recital
A full senior recital
B. All other Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Arts or Science Music Majors:
A joint senior recital
BA/BS Music majors may substitute either the performance of an original composition,
a lecture presentation or a senior project (whichever is appropriate for the degree).
Presentations must be approved by the Recital Screening Committee.
