Music (MUSC)

In the Department of Music, a faculty of active performers, composers and scholars collaborates with students in the critical and creative study of music from diverse historical periods and cultural traditions, engaging the mind and ear in a process that develops artistic, aesthetic and human understanding.

Resources

The Sigfried Weis Music Building has well-equipped faculty studios; 11 practice rooms with pianos; a percussion studio; an electroacoustic music studio; an electronic keyboard lab; two classrooms; and the Natalie Davis Rooke Recital Hall, a 164-seat performance space with two Steinway concert grand pianos and a recording booth. The music building also houses its own music library of scores, published recordings, an archive of student and guest performance recordings, the Bruce Lundvall Collection of Jazz Recordings, and the Cook Collection of Musical Instruments. The department offers dozens of musical events every year in the Rooke Recital Hall and the Weis Center for the Performing Arts. The Kushell Music Endowment of Bucknell University enables the department to sponsor residencies by prominent musicians each year. Additionally, the music department and the Weis Center for the Performing Arts offer joint workshops and master classes each year.

Admissions & Auditions

Students seeking admission into any of the music degree programs audition virtually or in person before members of the department faculty. Additionally, applicants for the concentration in contemporary composition submit a portfolio of their work, and music education applicants complete an interview. The Department of Music's website contains additional information about the audition process, dates of auditions and scholarships. Prospective students must complete a Department of Music audition form and the Arts Merit Scholarship application form.

Regulations

Deviation from the established program of study for the major in music may be granted only by permission of the faculty adviser, the department chair and the Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences.

Private instruction is offered in the following areas of performance: voice, piano, organ, woodwinds, brass, strings, guitar and percussion instruments, as well as improvisation.

Non-music majors are charged a fee for lessons. Contact the Department of Music for a fee schedule.

Non-music majors may receive one-quarter credit for participation in each recognized ensemble, with a maximum of one-half credit permitted per semester and a limit of two full course credits total. Music majors and minors audit ensembles rather than participate for credit because these credits do not count toward fulfilling the minimum degree requirements.

The department administers jury examinations for students in the various music degree programs. Jury requirements vary for the different programs; music majors should contact the department for further information.

Music Majors

The University offers two degrees in music: the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Music in vocal performance and in music education. Regarding the Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree, students may pursue a concentration within the BA degree in Contemporary Composition, Cultural and Critical Studies in Music (CCSM) or Performance if they so wish. Requirements for the degree programs and concentrations within the BA are discussed below.

Requirements for All Majors

College of Arts & Sciences Core Curriculum (CASCC)

All students, regardless of degree program, must satisfy requirements of the College of Arts & Sciences Core Curriculum (CASCC). A description and components of the CASCC may be found elsewhere in this catalog. Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Arts students will meet the three intellectual competency goals (writing, speaking and information literacy) within core coursework required for all degree programs. Culminating Experiences will be discussed within each degree program’s description below.

Ensembles

All music majors must participate in at least one Department of Music ensemble each semester. The only two exceptions to this policy are the semester in which a student is studying abroad or in which music education majors are student teaching. Music majors audit ensembles rather than take them for credit because the credits do not count toward fulfilling the minimum degree requirements. Auditions are required for Jazz Band, University Choir, Orchestra, Bucknell Voice Lab and Rooke Ringers (handbells).

Recital Attendance

All students, regardless of degree program, must attend a minimum of 10 approved recitals/performances each semester in order to satisfy degree requirements.

Bachelor of Music

A candidate for the Bachelor of Music degree may choose from two curricula:

  1. Vocal Performance
  2. Music Education

A student wishing to change the degree program from a Bachelor of Arts in music to a Bachelor of Music may apply for admission to the Bachelor of Music program at the end of each semester through the sophomore year. The application must be made in writing to the chair of the Department of Music and involves the same process outlined for prospective students. Students are not accepted into the Bachelor of Music degree program after the sophomore year.

All Bachelor of Music students must pass a functional keyboard requirement (see description under MUSC 152 Functional Keyboard), fulfill the recital requirements specified in the respective degree programs, and participate in prescribed assessment activities such as exit interviews and exams.

Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance

Candidates in vocal performance are reviewed at the end of each semester through an examination by a jury comprising faculty members of the Department of Music. At the end of the sophomore year, students must be approved for upper-level study by the department. Candidates whose progress is determined to be insufficient will not be permitted to continue in the Bachelor of Music degree program.

Students in the Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance degree must demonstrate basic proficiency in Italian, French and German. Students enrolling in the University who have had at least the equivalent of one college semester of study in a language (one full year in secondary school) may petition the voice faculty to waive further study in that language during the degree process. Singers are encouraged to pursue as much language study as possible.

Culminating Experience

Vocal performance majors are expected to appear in several successful performances as soloist and in chamber ensembles prior to presenting a full public recital in the senior year as a Culminating Experience. The senior recital demonstrates a student’s synthesis of theoretical and historical knowledge, technical skills, understanding of musical language and concepts, and musicality.

Degree Requirements

Bachelor of Music in Music Education

The curriculum in music education prepares students to teach music in the public schools. The curriculum is approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education as a requirement for professional certification. Through this course of study, a student will be expected to develop:

  1. Sound musicianship in an applied area,
  2. Knowledge of music theory and the history of music, and
  3. Broad cultural awareness through courses other than music.

Students may choose a curriculum that reflects either a vocal or instrumental emphasis; each emphasis is designed to fulfill at least the minimum requirements for preK-12 certification in the state of Pennsylvania. Candidates are reviewed at the end of each semester through an examination by a jury comprising members of the Department of Music faculty, and by an interview with the music education coordinator. At the end of the sophomore year, students must be approved for upper-level study by the department. Candidates whose progress is determined to be insufficient will not be permitted to continue in the bachelor of music degree program.

Music education students are expected to make several successful appearances as soloist and in chamber ensembles before the senior year, and to present during the fall of the senior year a minimum of half a solo recital in a chosen applied area. The student must also complete an e-portfolio in accordance with departmental guidelines. Additionally, all music education majors will take four semesters of lessons in secondary instruments: those students whose primary performance area is instrumental will study secondary instruments, voice students will study piano, and piano students will study voice.

Culminating Experience

The music education major will meet the Culminating Experience requirements (carrying 4 credits) through student teaching and the Student Teacher Seminar. Student teaching placements are assigned and supervised by the music education coordinator. During student teaching, music education majors will develop professional attitudes and human relationship skills, establish effective classroom climate and management skills, develop effective planning techniques, and demonstrate a command of subject-matter knowledge and materials. Criteria for grading have been established by the Bucknell University education department and are available through the Department of Music. Failure to achieve an appropriate grade in student teaching results in failure to receive state certification. It is not possible to place all student teachers at a partner school that is within walking distance of the Bucknell campus; students are responsible for providing their own transportation as needed.

Thirty-four full academic course credits are required for graduation, distributed as outlined below.
