Overview

Students at Manhattanville create and explore music in a wide range of settings and styles. Students develop professionally valuable skills, and they learn about music in great detail. To meet these challenges, students are guided by our supportive and engaged faculty at every step.

Manhattanville's music programs offer broad opportunities both for the music major and the liberal arts student. It is in pursuing that dual purpose, to train future professionals and to serve the aesthetic needs of the liberal arts major, that the core philosophy of the Music Department is most apparent. The faculty seeks to provide performance experiences for majors and non-majors and encourages all students to explore broader intellectual horizons by enrolling in a wide variety of courses.

The Manhattanville music curriculum allows for a strong emphasis on creativity and individual expression without sacrificing the development of necessary skills and self-discipline. Courses are available for all college students in specialized areas of music education, musical performance, musical theatre, music management, music technology, music history, music theory and composition and jazz studies. Participation in and appreciation of live musical performances are essential within the music department, and the department presents many regularly scheduled concerts and recitals. All music majors are required to attend performances as part of course and major requirements. Students who do not take part in the musical life of the College will not be able to major in music.

Manhattanville College offers several degree programs in Music. Music majors may pursue either the Bachelor of Arts Degree with a major in Music, the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music with a concentration in either Music Management or Musical Theatre, or the Bachelor of Music Degree with a major in Music Education. Since fall 2005, the College has offered a combined degree honors program with the School of Education to allow an accelerated Bachelor of Music in music education and a Master of Arts in Teaching degree. The combined degree program allows students to double count 15 credits towards both degrees. Successful completion of the graduate program results in a permanent teaching certification for New York State.

Opportunities exist for public performances, both on and off campus, through membership in a variety of performing organizations. It is not uncommon to find the major and non-major performing side by side. The department also offers a flexible minor in music to address the diverse interests of students interested in music as a supplementary subject area.

For all of our degree programs, the primary objective of the Music Department is to provide the means and environment that will equip our graduates to take their place in the world of music outside the campus walls. We take very seriously our role to encourage in students the responsibility to use their individual talents in ways that will benefit and serve the community-at-large. Ultimately, we aim to provide an environment where music study will inspire young men and women to pursue lifelong learning and pleasure in music.

Music Department Assessment

Courses in the Music Department rely on the same kinds of assessment as many other courses at the college. Objective evaluation is performed in most courses, including graded homework assignments, in-class quizzes and examinations, term paper assignments and exercises, and final examinations. Departmental learning objectives have been identified and coordinated on a course by course basis throughout the music curriculum and are posted on line within the course syllabi with related specific assessments in each course. Any specific rubrics or assessment guidelines are associated with specific courses.

Beyond these objective assessments, the Music Department undertakes assessment for Music Performance, and specific assessments for Senior capstone requirements within each degree program. These major assessments monitor ongoing performance levels within the music program and take a cumulative measure of academic performance near the end of students’ studies.

Music Performance

Due to the nature of the discipline, the Music Department performs progressive and cumulative assessments related to musical performance. Solo musical performances of our students are evaluated periodically: by audition before acceptance to the music major, each semester as a part of their applied music lessons and juries, and finally as a part of the senior evaluation for students in our performance intensive programs. Students are required to present a Senior Recital for the B.A. in Music, the B.Mus. in Music Education, and the B.F.A. in Musical Theatre.

Entrance Audition: The Entrance Audition is carried out by full-time faculty. It is required for prospective students in the B.A. in Music, B.A. in Music Technology, B.Mus. in Music Education, and the B.F.A. in Musical Theatre. The entrance audition measures performance training and attempts to predict a student’s timely success towards accomplishing an eventual Senior Recital. This qualitative evaluation is also used to recommend scholarship awards for incoming students. Transfer students and students changing their major to music are also required to audition.

Applicants for the B.A. in Music, the B.F.A. in Musical Theatre and the B.Mus. in Music Education are required to perform three selections which should generally be of diverse types and by different composers. Pianists, vocalists, and string players are asked to perform at least one work from memory. Applicants are evaluated by at least two faculty members on the following criteria: musical comprehension, technical ability and level of preparation.

Jury: At the end of each semester, music majors taking applied music lessons are required to perform a jury for faculty members instructing related instruments, e.g., piano and organ students perform for the keyboard faculty, string players for the string faculty, jazz players for the jazz faculty, etc. The members of the jury each provide students with a written evaluation and each juror grades the performance individually. The semester grade is determined as follows: 50% by the instructor and 50% by the average grade of the jury panel. A uniform jury rubric has been adopted.

Senior Recitals: The B.A. in Music, B.Mus. in Music Education, and the B.F.A. in Musical Theatre programs require a Senior Recital, which is evaluated by the full-time faculty along with the applied music teacher. The program selection is developed under the guidance of the applied teacher. The recital evaluators provide a written critique of the concert for the student, as well as a grade, decided by consensus, for the course. B.A. in Music Technology students may fulfill their Senior Projects requirement by performing a Senior Recital.

Music General Capstone Assessments

In addition, to the recital requirement, students in the B.A. in Music, B.A. in Music Business, B.A. in Music Technology, and the B.Mus. in Music Education programs must take the Senior Comprehensive Examination.

The Senior Comprehensive Examination tests students on a representative list of musical works presented by the class itself in a seminar format and assessed by three objective examinations. The seminar tests specific knowledge of the works, as well as general contextual knowledge for each major program.

Each semester, students provide materials for a shared study bibliography and develop an on line site that incorporates additional study materials and presentations for the seminar. In addition, the B.A. in Music , B.A. in Music Technology, and B.Mus. in Music Education students in the seminar undertake an analysis assignment, while the B.A. in Music Business students respond to a problem set based upon typical industry challenges. The in class presentations are evaluated based upon a presentation rubric.

Music Program Specific Capstone Assessments

All music students also undertake a program specific component of the senior evaluation. The nature of these undertakings emphasizes personal responsibility and independent professional development. Senior Projects are developed in discipline-based seminars. Both the Internship and Student Teaching experiences require seminar participation and draw upon external evaluation in offsite assignments.

Senior Project: Students in the B.A. in Music, the B. A. in Music Technology, and students in the combined B.Mus./MAT degree in Music Education take MUH 3998: Music Senior Projects.

Music Theatre Performance Seminar and Recital: MUA 3996 and MUA 3997. Students in the B.F.A. in Musical Theatre program will complete this specialized year-long coordinating seminar, combining the elements of Senior Recital and Senior Project. Assessment criteria for both components are outlined above.

Student Teaching: B.Mus. in Music Education students are required to complete a full semester of supervised student teaching with an associated seminar, EDU 3387: Student Teaching and Seminar: Music Education. They are placed in both an elementary placement (grades preschool through upper elementary) and a secondary placement (middle school or high school). Student teachers work with an on-site cooperating teacher and are supervised by college faculty. Students typically participate in general music, choral music, and/or instrumental music environments. One of the student teaching placements must be in an urban setting and the other in a suburban setting. Assessment is made based upon on site evaluations, cooperating teacher recommendation and a series of rubrics based assessments undertaken in the seminar. Topics for assessment and associated rubrics include the following:

• Reaching the expectations of the profession and of the School of Education.

• Writing curriculum with reference to national and state standards.

• Writing a personal philosophy of the teaching and learning of music.

• Working through pedagogical process and materials.

• Knowledge and application of vocal and instrumental pedagogy.

Internship Seminar: Students in the B.A. in Music Business program undertake a semester of supervised internship associated with a seminar. Students are responsible for finding, and participating in an internship at a placement associated with the music industry. Students will be evaluated by an onsite supervisor and a faculty member, and will be required to submit an ongoing log of activities to the faculty member. As part of the seminar assignment for the course, students research current controversial issues in the music business, document findings in a paper, and present to the class.

Satisfactory Progress towards Degree Requirements for Intended Music Majors

The Sophomore Review determines whether students are making progress towards acquiring skills necessary for success as a major in the Music Department. Each student is reviewed by music department faculty for progress in core areas of the music curriculum during their third semester at the College, except for transfer students who will be reviewed at the end of their first semester. All students will be evaluated for satisfactory grades in required Core Courses and acceptable progress in Music Theory. Students in the Bachelor of Music (Music Education), Bachelor of Arts in Music, Bachelor of Arts in Music Technology, and Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre programs will also be evaluated for satisfactory progress on their major performing vehicle and piano.

Satisfactory progress is required in order to maintain standing as music major. The Sophomore Review focuses on both theoretical and practical areas of knowledge. The review will be used to determine that students have acquired sufficient technical knowledge about music to proceed to upper level courses as juniors and to accomplish the upper level courses in a timely manner.

Failure to maintain satisfactory progress can result in the following: either the student must withdraw from the major program or, upon recommendation of the faculty review, the student can continue in a provisional status. Provisional status can require the retaking of courses and either additional time or summer study for the completion of the degree.

Students transferring to Manhattanville with 40 or more credits should be on track to meet the same requirements. They will be reviewed at the end of their first semester of full time study at the College.

The following list summarizes the levels of satisfactory progress for each of the music degree programs.
