Stephen Kalm, Chair
The Department of Music offers students who have demonstrated talent
in music the opportunity to continue further study either for a profession
or an avocation and to acquire at the same time a broad general education.
Complete sequences of courses are given to prepare a student for a
career as a teacher or supervisor of music in the elementary/secondary
schools; for a career directed toward composition, the music technology
industry, private teaching, or concert work; or, for a thorough training
in music within the structure of a broad liberal arts curriculum.
Degree programs at the undergraduate level include the Bachelor of
Music Education; Bachelor of Music with majors in performance, theory,
or composition and music technology; and Bachelor of Arts with a major
in fine arts and an option in music. Graduate degree programs are
Master of Music with a major in music and options in music education,
performance, or composition/technology; and the Master of Arts with
a major in music history and literature.
The University of Montana-Missoula is an accredited institutional
member of the National Association of Schools of Music.
In general, admission as a major in the Music Department is by certificate
from the high school from which the student graduates. The faculty
of the Music Department is more concerned with evidence of talent,
conspicuous achievement in music, promise of development, and scholarship
in general than it is in the precise content of the program which
the prospective music student has followed prior to admission to the
University.
The Music Department welcomes the opportunity for prospective students
and parents to consult with faculty and administration by paper and
electronic correspondence and/or by appointment interviews on the
campus. Every student wishing to become a music major or minor must
take the Music Theory Assessment Examination during orientation and
also must audition and be accepted officially into the applied studio
of a music faculty member prior to confirmation as a full-admitted
major or minor in music..
Special Degree Requirements back

ensemble specified by their degree curriculum each semester of residence
of the regular school year. (See specific curricula for maximum
ensemble credits applicable toward minimum degree requirements.)
Majors whose principal performance area is wind/percussion must

upper-division recital performance, B.M./Vocal Performance and B.A.
voice majors may enroll in Music 307A, section 1 (University Choir),
307A, section 2 (Chamber Chorale), 307A, section 3 (Men's Chorus),
307A, section 4 (Women's Chorus), 313A (Opera Theater), or 350A,
section 11 (Jubes) to satisfy ensemble requirements. B.M.E. voice
majors must take a minimum of 6 credits in 107A/307A, section 1
(University Choir) and 1 cr. of 109A (Marching Band). Piano and
organ majors must fulfill this requirement by taking Music 107A/307A

110A/310A (Concert Bands), 150A/350A (Chamber Ensembles) or 196/496
(Independent Study/Piano Accompanying). Upper-division large and
chamber ensemble credits may not count as upper-division music electives
within the minimum degree requirements except as designated for
a particular degree program. Candidates for the B.M.E. or B.M. degree
and for the teaching major in music must demonstrate, through examination
by the keyboard faculty, functional knowledge of the piano normally
achieved by completing Music 216 (Intermediate Piano in Class II)
or equivalent.
7. Seniors pursuing the B.M.E. or B.A. degrees and deemed
outstanding in performance ability by their applied music teacher
may perform a one half recital only. Students in the B.M. program

at the discretion of the area faculty by giving two half recitals.
8. Candidates for all undergraduate degrees in music enrolled
in performance study above the Music 100A level shall take divisional
juries as scheduled by area faculties. Students may be excused from
divisional juries if graduating in that semester, or if they have
performed a half or full recital that term, or have successfully
completed an upper division recital performance during that semester.
9. All majors seeking upper division standing in applied
music will appear in an upper division recital performance. In order
to qualify for this performance the student must be recommended
by the divisional jury on the basis of performance ability, repertoire
studied and sight reading on his/her performing instrument. The
recital must be approved by a 2/3 majority of the music faculty
in attendance. Failure in the upper division recital performance
bars students from admission to music courses numbered 300 or above
with the exception of 324H 325H (History of Music I, II).
10. Successful completion of all lower division music core
requirements is necessary for admission to upper division academic
study in music and for students pursuing the B.M.E. degree, student

11. All candidates for undergraduate music degrees must complete
39 music and/or non music credits numbered 300 or above to meet
graduation requirements for the first baccalaureate degree. Upper-division
credits transferred from other four-year institutions will count
toward the 39-credit requirement. Upper division large and chamber
ensembles and non-required applied study may not count as upper
division music electives within the minimum degree requirements
except as designated for a particular degree program.
12. Upon successful completion of the Upper-Division Writing
Proficiency Assessment, students will complete the Upper-Division
Writing Expectation. Candidates for Curriculum A may satisfy this
requirement with one course from the MUS 420-425 series or an upper-division
writing course which will also satisfy teacher certification requirements.
Candidates for Curriculum B and Curriculum C will satisfy this requirement
