Overview

Twenty-one semester hours of applied music are required of all Performance Majors in their major applied area and three additional hours for the senior recital.

Beginning with the second semester of matriculation each student is required to perform at least twice each semester on Student Seminar Recitals.

Key Features

Proficiency requirements for graduation include, along with the core curriculum, the development of advanced performance skills which meet professional musical standards (e.g. the ability to execute music from memory, an outstanding sense of musicianship, and a substantial knowledge of the repertoire of his/her instrument.)

All Music Performance majors at Virginia State University are required to give a full recital at the end of their junior and senior years as partial fulfillment for the performance degree. A jury examination is required and must be passed six weeks prior to each recital.
