Department
of Music |
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.

5. All majors seeking an undergraduate degree in music and who
are registered for 5 or more credits must participate in an 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

the 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,

Piano and organ majors must fulfill this requirement by taking

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

a one half recital only. Students in the B.M. program must present

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

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

graduation requirements for the first baccalaureate degree. Upper-division

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

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.
