[1] Summer and Fall Schedule of Classes and registration (reminder)

Registration for summer 2012 started on March 21 and registration for fall 2012 started on Monday, April 2. You must submit a Program Planning Sheet to the Music Graduate Office before you will be eligible to register for any semester or summer. You can do this by submitting an online Program Planning Sheet at http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/registration/PPS.shtml. We are accepting Program Planning Sheets for summer and fall registration now. Program Planning Sheets are processed in the order they are received. Although we try to process these within 24 hours of when they are submitted (not including weekends), it can take a little longer when there is a high volume of submissions (as there will be for the next week or so).

http://registrar.indiana.edu/scheduleoclasses/prl/soc4125/MUS/index.html is a direct link to the summer Schedule of Classes. Jacobs School of Music classes run June 4–July 27.

http://registrar.indiana.edu/scheduleoclasses/prl/soc4128/MUS/index.html is a direct link to the fall Schedule of Classes. Jacobs School of Music classes will be held August 20–December 14. Please note that the fall Schedule of Classes does not yet reflect all changes department chairs have requested; we will try to alert you to changes we know about when we respond to your Program Planning Sheet. If you would like clarification of how these changes may affect your plans, please e-mail us at musgrad@indiana.edu.

Please note that if you received a grade of "I" (incomplete) in any course that you have a maximum of 1 year to complete that course; after 1 year the grade will turn into an "F."

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns about your grades for the spring semester.

Diplomas are mailed ten to twelve weeks after the graduation date to your Student Home address as listed in the Office of the Registrar's records. It is your responsibility to ensure your Student Home address is current and correct. Details are here: http://registrar.indiana.edu/~registra/diploma.shtml#address.

This is important for all students, but especially for anyone who wants the diploma mailed to an international address.

Graduate Students,

Here are the topics for this week's Music Graduate Office announcements; scroll down for the details about each topic.

[1] Summer and Fall Schedule of Classes and registration (reminder)

[2] Applications for Graduation for May and August 2012 (reminder)

Congratulations to all of our May graduates!

The Music Graduate Office will remain open throughout the summer.

When planning your courses, please review your Academic Advisement Report. The Academic Advisement Report has a breakdown of all of your requirements and tracks which requirements you have already completed. It is a useful tool to use while you decide what to take in the future semesters. To find your AAR, (a) log onto OneStart (www.onestart.iu.edu), (b) click on the "Student Self-Service" button on the left side of the page, (c) click on the Go to Student Center link, (d) from that page, click on My Academics and Grades. That brings you to a page that includes a link to your advisement report, class schedule, grades, etc.

For information about how to prepare for registration, please see http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/registration/registration.shtml. All currently registered students will see one or two "Advising" holds on their records in OneStart. These holds prevent students from registering for summer and/or fall until the appropriate program planning sheet is approved. The holds do not affect your records in any way other than preventing you from registering for summer and/or fall, so don't worry if you see them.

If you have any questions about degree requirements, please make an appointment to see an advisor by calling 855-1738. You can also email musgrad@indiana.edu with your questions.

_______________________________________________________________________

[2] Applications for Graduation for May and August 2012 (reminder)

If you are planning to graduate this May or August, you will need to fill out an application for graduation as soon as possible. You can submit the application online at http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/graduation/gradApp.shtml or you can submit the paper form in the Music Graduate Office (MU011). The form is very short (one page) and should only take a few minutes to complete.

If you do not remember whether you have already applied for graduation, you can check your Academic Advisement Report on OneStart. To do this, log onto OneStart (www.onestart.iu.edu), click on "Student Center," then "My Academics and Grades." That brings you to a page that includes a link to your advisement report, class schedule, grades, etc. Click on "View my advisement report." Near the end of the report there is a line for "Application for Graduation". If the line is red and says "Not Satisfied", we have not yet received an application for graduation. If the line is not red and says "Satisfied," then we have.

You are required to apply for graduation even if you do not plan to go through the commencement ceremony.

There are no negative repercussions to applying if you end up graduating later (you’ll just need to submit a new application for graduation if your plans change).

[3] Minor Field Qualifying Exam in Music Theory (reminder)

Doctoral Students: If you are planning to take the minor field qualifying exam in Music Theory in summer 2012 (Saturday, June 30, 2012), you need to sign up in the Music Graduate office by Friday, April 20. Please review http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/doctoral/qualifyingExams.shtml for information on qualifying exam sign-up procedures. This exam is for doctoral students who are in the qualifying exam stage of their degree (after coursework is complete) and who have completed the coursework for a music theory minor.

If you are sending an email to sign up (to musdoc@indiana.edu), please include your full name and a list of the three Music Theory minor field courses you want to be tested on during the exam. You can also sign up in person in the Music Graduate Office (MU011).

The only time the exam will be offered this summer is on Saturday, June 30, 2012, 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. in Simon 242. Exam dates for future semesters can be found at http://www.music.indiana.edu/departments/academic/music-theory/degrees/minor-field-exam-schedule.shtml. If you have any questions, please let us know.

_________________________________________________________________

[4] Part-time Position Available: Doctoral Clerk

The Music Graduate Office is looking to fill the part-time position of Doctoral Clerk. The Doctoral Clerk works with the Director of Graduate Studies on qualifying examinations and final projects/dissertations. He or she handles the scheduling of written and oral exams and defenses; the preparation and circulation of written exams; the paperwork for essays, final projects, and dissertations; correspondence with students and faculty members. The Doctoral Clerk also assists with other office-related matters as needed.

The time commitment is ca. 15-20 hours a week, and the schedule is flexible within the office's working hours (8 AM to 5 PM). Certain times of the year will require more hours, other times (especially summer) fewer. Some aspects of the work (including e-mail correspondence) may be done from home; other parts require time in the office.

Strong computer skills are needed, including e-mail, the use of an Access database, and the updating of Web pages. Discretion, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate well both verbally and in writing are important. Familiarity with the Jacobs School of Music is desirable.

We can consider a doctoral candidate (one who has passed all qualifying exams) but not other current students in the Jacobs School of Music. The position might be particularly appropriate for the spouse or partner of a graduate student or for a recent graduate. We hope for a minimum one- to two-year commitment, and we anticipate a start date in early June.

The work of the Graduate Office (including matters that the Doctoral Clerk deals with) can be seen at http://www.music.indiana.edu/graduate/.

Those interested may apply by e-mail to Prof. Eric Isaacson, Director of Graduate Studies, Jacobs School of Music, at musicdgs@indiana.edu. The letter should describe relevant education and work experience, computer skills, availability, and familiarity with the School, and should include names and contact information for two personal or professional references. All applications received by Wednesday, 25 April 2012, will be considered.

[1] Summer and Fall Schedule of Classes and registration (reminder)

Registration for summer 2012 started on March 21 and registration for fall 2012 started on Monday, April 2.

You must submit a Program Planning Sheet to the Music Graduate Office before you will be eligible to register for any semester or summer. You can do this by submitting an online Program Planning Sheet at http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/registration/PPS.shtml. We are accepting Program Planning Sheets for summer and fall registration now. Program Planning Sheets are processed in the order they are received. Although we try to process these within 24 hours of when they are submitted (not including weekends), it can take a little longer when there is a high volume of submissions (as there will be for the next week or so).

http://registrar.indiana.edu/scheduleoclasses/prl/soc4125/MUS/index.html is a direct link to the summer Schedule of Classes. Jacobs School of Music classes run June 4-July 27.

http://registrar.indiana.edu/scheduleoclasses/prl/soc4128/MUS/index.html is a direct link to the fall Schedule of Classes. Jacobs School of Music classes will be held August 20-December 14. Please note that the fall Schedule of Classes does not yet reflect all of the course changes described below; if you have questions about any of these changes, please e-mail musgrad@indiana.edu for clarification of how these changes may affect your plans.

These classes used to be 3 credit hours and are now 2 credit hours (starting fall 2012):

MUS-F 501 Accompaniment of Baroque Music (2 cr.)

MUS-F 502 Topics in Basso Continuo (2 cr.)

MUS-F 503 Advanced Topics in Basso Continuo (2 cr.)

MUS-M 516 Advanced Topics in Early Music (2 cr.)

MUS-M 635 Performance Practice Before 1750 (2 cr.)

These classes used to be 3 credit hours and are now 2 credit hours, and the titles have been changed slightly (starting fall 2012):

MUS-M 517 Literature and Performance Practice I (2 cr.) [was Medieval Literature and Performance Practice]

MUS-M 518 Literature and Performance Practice II (2 cr.) [was Renaissance Literature and Performance Practice]

MUS-M 519 Literature and Performance Practice III (2 cr.) [was Baroque Literature and Performance Practice]

MUS-M 520 Literature and Performance Practice IV (2 cr.) [was Classical Literature and Performance Practice]

MUS-M 521 Literature and Performance Practice V (2 cr.) [was Romantic Literature and Performance Practice]

For all of these classes, including those with course title changes, the basic topics of the courses have not changed. The credit hour adjustment is the main difference.

If you are working on an early music outside area or minor, these credit hour changes might affect your course plans. Please call 855-1738 if you'd like to make an appointment to discuss your options.

__________________________________________________________________

[3] Changes to Voice Department diction classes

Two important changes to the voice department diction classes begin this fall. (1) The titles and course numbers are changing. The old and new numbers/titles are listed below. The new numbers reflect the order the voice department recommends the courses be taken in. (2) The first semester of the corresponding grammar class are now a pre-requiste to each foreign language diction class, rather than a pre- or co-requisite. This requirement can be waived only by the instructor of the course. (English diction is also being listed as a prerequisite, but this will not be enforced for continuing graduate students.)

Note: the Schedule of Classes is currently showing the old course numbers; we do not know when the new numbers will be posted. Please register in whichever number appears when you complete your registration. We will administratively move students from the old number to the new numbers as necessary once the new numbers are available.

Old: U361 English Diction for Singers
New: V120 English Diction for Singers

Old: MU253 Applied Italian Diction for Singers
New: V150 Italian Diction for Singers
P: V120 English Diction for Singers and FRIT M100 Elementary Italian I or equivalent, or permission of the instructor

Old: U243 Applied German Diction for Singers

[2] Course announcements for fall 2012

The Music Graduate Office invited faculty to submit short course announcements for this e-mail, for you to use as you decide what to register for in the summer session and fall 2012. Not all of these courses will count for every degree or program.

Summer 2012

MUS-E 635 College Music Teaching
Instructor, Katherine Strand
TWTh 10:20 - 12:30, June 4–July 27, 2012

This is a course designed to introduce and explore the world of college music teaching. Through readings, discussion, and practice, we will examine the responsibilities and privileges of teaching music on the college level. We will discuss the organization of and the various roles that faculty members take within the Academe. We will examine the various types of music classes and practice teaching strategies for different types of instructional settings. Finally, we will explore job-search, application, and interview techniques to help students to be successful job-seekers in college-level institutions.

Fall 2012

MUS-T561 (24360)

Music Theory, Variable Topics: The String Quartet in the Twentieth Century

TR 9:30-10:45 a.m.

Prof. Julian Hook

The string quartet medium attracted the attention of many--indeed, almost all--of the most significant composers of the twentieth century. This course will not attempt a comprehensive survey of the literature, but will be an analytically oriented exploration of a selection of representative works. As a class we will study three of the six quartets of Bartok, widely considered the most important contributions to the genre since Beethoven, along with other works probably chosen from among the quartets of Ravel, Schoenberg, Berg (Lyric Suite), Janacek, Ruth Crawford, Shostakovich, Britten, Carter, Crumb (Black Angels), Ligeti, and Lutoslawski. Independent projects at the end of the semester will allow students to study additional works of their own choosing.

Prerequisites: T561 is open only to graduate students who have passed T508 (Written Music Theory Review for Graduate Students) and M542 (Music History Review for Graduate Students II), or the equivalent Graduate Entrance Examinations. Prior coursework in analysis of twentieth-century music is recommended but not required.

MUS-M 502 (28326)
Composers: Georg Philipp Telemann
TR 1-2.15 PM
Prof. Daniel R. Melamed

Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) was the most famous and commercially successful musician in German-speaking lands in the middle of the 18th century, and a composer of extraordinary creativity and musical insight. He wrote in every genre, so in the course we will study works by Telemann of many kinds, surveying musical practice of the time. The repertory will include sonatas, concertos, ouvertures, opera, secular and sacred cantatas, passions (poetic and biblical), oratorios, and more. Our emphasis will be on musical analysis, style, and genre; and on Telemann's works in the musical marketplace of the 18th century.

MUS-M 502 (29107)
Composers: Heinrich Isaac
MW 1:00-2:15 PM
Prof. Giovanni Zanovello

Heinrich Isaac (ca. 1450-1517) was one of the most versatile and accomplished Flemish composers of the late fifteenth century. His output includes outstanding examples of virtually every genre practiced in his times – Masses, motets, songs in several languages and different traditions, pieces with a possible instrumental destination. Isaac is also one of very few composers in the history of Western music to have compiled a complete set of Mass Propers for the whole liturgical year. During the class, we will become familiar with Isaac’s music, his biography, and with the musicological literature devoted to him in the past and very recently. The class time will include a combination of lecturing, discussion, and team work. Grading is based on participation, presentations, and a semester-long project.

MUS-M 527 (19478)
Symphonic Literature
MW 9:30-10:45AM
Prof. Giovanni Zanovello

In this class we will hone the intellectual tools needed to understand the history of the symphony and speak intelligently about it. The symphony is one of the most iconic genres of Western music. During its history, it has adapted and evolved, engaging more and more with the surrounding cultural and literary history. Class after class I will present a very succinct historical narrative, but that will be only one component of the course. The class time will involve a regular team work and class discussion. Class attendance is mandatory. Grading will be based on class participation, presentations, and a semester-long analytical project.

__________________________________________________________________

[3] Changes to Early Music department courses

This affects those doing a major, minor, or outside area in early music.

The Early Music department has implemented some changes to the titles and credit hours for many of their courses. Here is the new course information:

These classes used to be 3 credit hours and are now 2 credit hours (starting fall 2012):
MUS-F 501 Accompaniment of Baroque Music (2 cr.)
MUS-F 502 Topics in Basso Continuo (2 cr.)
MUS-F 503 Advanced Topics in Basso Continuo (2 cr.)
MUS-M 516 Advanced Topics in Early Music (2 cr.)
MUS-M 635 Performance Practice Before 1750 (2 cr.)

These classes used to be 3 credit hours and are now 2 credit hours, and the titles have been changed slightly (starting fall 2012):
MUS-M 517 Literature and Performance Practice I (2 cr.) [was Medieval Literature and Performance Practice]
MUS-M 518 Literature and Performance Practice II (2 cr.) [was Renaissance Literature and Performance Practice]
MUS-M 519 Literature and Performance Practice III (2 cr.) [was Baroque Literature and Performance Practice]
MUS-M 520 Literature and Performance Practice IV (2 cr.) [was Classical Literature and Performance Practice]
MUS-M 521 Literature and Performance Practice V (2 cr.) [was Romantic Literature and Performance Practice]

For all of these classes, including those with course title changes, the basic topics of the courses have not changed. The credit hour adjustment is the main difference.

If you are working on an early music outside area or minor, these credit hour changes might affect your course plans. Please call 855-1738 if you'd like to make an appointment to discuss your options.

__________________________________________________________________

[4] Changes to Voice Department diction classes

Two important changes to the voice department diction classes begin this fall. (1) The titles and course numbers are changing. The old and new numbers/titles are listed below. The new numbers reflect the order the voice department recommends the courses be taken in. (2) The first semester of the corresponding grammar class are now a pre-requiste to each foreign language diction class, rather than a pre- or co-requisite. This requirement can be waived only by the instructor of the course. (English diction is also being listed as a prerequisite, but this will not be enforced for continuing graduate students.)

Note: the Schedule of Classes is currently showing the old course numbers; we do not know when the new numbers will be posted. Please register in whichever number appears when you complete your registration. We will administratively move students from the old number to the new numbers as necessary once the new numbers are available.

Old: U361 English Diction for Singers

New: V120 English Diction for Singers

Old: MU253 Applied Italian Diction for Singers

New: V150 Italian Diction for Singers

P: V120 English Diction for Singers and FRIT M100 Elementary Italian I or equivalent, or permission of the instructor

Old: U243 Applied German Diction for Singers

New: V250 German Diction for Singers

P: V120 English Diction for Singers and GER G100 Beginning German I or equivalent, or permission of the instructor.

Old: U233 Applied French Diction for Singers

New: V350 French Diction for Singers

P: V120 English Diction for Singers and FRIT F100 Elementary French I or equivalent, or permission of the instructor.

__________________________________________________________________

[5] Chamber Music Policies

This important reminder about enrollment policies for chamber music applies to all graduate and diploma students.

ALL graduate and diploma students participating in a chamber group that involves faculty coaching or any other small ensemble listed in this message MUST be enrolled using the appropriate course number.

Students must enroll in a chamber music section for each group they participate in. Those who enroll to satisfy a requirement for their curriculum MUST enroll for 1 credit. Those who want to participate but who do not need the credit for their curriculum may choose to enroll for 0 credits. (Note that 0-credit courses carry a mandatory $18 fee.)

For MUS-F 550 Chamber Music, at least half of the members of any group must be enrolled for 1 credit. Students not enrolling for credit must also enroll, but may do so for 0 credits. When forming groups, students are responsible for determining the enrollment intentions of the other members of the group.

All instrumental diploma students are required to enroll in a minimum of 1 credit of chamber music each semester. Those who choose to participate in an additional group may enroll for either 0 or 1 credit.

There are separate class numbers for some specific chamber groups. These are as follows:

MUS-F 545: Brass Chamber Ensemble
  Class No. 28652: Brass Choir (Cord)
  Class No. 28716: Trombone Choir (Lenthe)

MUS-F 547: Percussion Chamber Ensemble
  Class No. 28656: Percussion Ensemble (Tafoya - percussion majors only)

Class No. 28729: Hand Drumming (Spiro)

MUS-F 549: Harp Ensemble
  Class No. 19251 (Szmyt, Tai)

MUS-O 550: Jazz Chamber Ensemble (jazz majors only, or permission of instructor)
  Class No. 28658: Jazz Combos (Harbison)
  Class No. 28727: Latin Jazz Ensemble (Spiro)

MUS-Y 550: Early Music Chamber Ensemble (early music majors only, or permission of instructor)
  Class No. 28662 (Elliott)

MUS-F 550: with Prof. Sung-Mi Im (students should only register in this section if they have permission from Prof. Im)
Class No. 29145

Most of the groups listed above require instructor authorization, so if you plan to register for one of these sections be sure to check the Schedule of Classes to see whether authorization is required, then contact the instructor to ask for authorization if necessary.

If you are in one or more of these special chamber ensembles, please be sure that you are registered in the correct class number. If you are not registered in the appropriate class number, then you will need to adjust your schedule in OneStart and will be responsible for any schedule adjustment fees.

Please note that not all chamber music groups will count for all degrees. Check your bulletin, degree sheet, or Academic Advisement Report to see whether or not the chamber group that you want to take will count for your program requirements. You can also ask in the Music Graduate Office.

If you are participating in chamber music with a faculty coach but not in one of the groups listed above, then you MUST register in MUS-F 550 class number 19253. See the chamber music web site (http://www.indiana.edu/~chamber/) for more information about policies and procedures.

Remember, with any chamber music enrollment, if you need chamber music for a degree requirement you must enroll for 1 credit hour. If you are participating in the group but don't need the credit for a requirement, you must still enroll, but may do so for 0 credits. However, for MUS-F 550 (only), at least half of the members of the group must be enrolled for 1 credit.

You are responsible for registering correctly in chamber music. Plan ahead because you will be responsible for any schedule adjustment fees that are charged if you adjust your schedule later.

[1] Electronic Submission of Doctoral Final Project and Piano Essay final copies begins

[2] Summer Schedule of Classes and registration (reminder)

[3] Fall Schedule of Classes and registration

[4] Changes to Master’s Degree Ensemble Policy for some programs (reminder)

[5] Performance Proficiency (reminder)

The Music Graduate Office web site (http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/index.shtml) is a good source of information about all matters related to graduate and diploma programs.

Sara Erbes, Academic Advisor

__________________________________________________________________

[1] Electronic Submission of Doctoral Final Project and Piano Essay final copies begins

Beginning this semester doctoral students in most areas are being encouraged to submit the final copy of their dissertation, doctoral final protect, or doctoral piano essay electronically, rather than submit multiple bound printed copies. Students will still have the option of submitting bound copies if they prefer, but we expect the savings in cost (potentially several hundred dollars) and time (potentially several weeks) will motivate most students to use electronic submission. Composition dissertations will continue to be submitted in bound printed form.

Electronically submitted documents will be catalogued in IUCAT and available either through ProQuest (PhD and DME dissertations) or IU Scholarworks (DM Final Projects and DM Piano Essays). Documents distributed to the research committee for formal review before the public presentation (e.g., defense) will still be in print form.

The Music Graduate Office will be examining documents closely for compliance with JSOM style guidelines. We are developing a checklist that students may use to ensure compliance before submitting the document for formal research committee review. Until the checklist is finalized, use the Style Guidelines page (link below) to ensure you are following all style guidelines. The final version of a document that is submitted through the Music Graduate Office (i.e., all but PhD dissertations, which are submitted through the University Graduate School) will be checked for compliance with these guidelines and returned for correction if problems are found. Depending on the timing, this could delay a student's graduation by a term.

For your reference, links to JSOM style guidelines and submission guidelines are provided here:

Style Guidelines

That brings you to a page that includes a link to your advisement report, class schedule, grades, etc. The Academic Advisement Report has a breakdown of all of your requirements and tracks which requirements you have already completed. It is an incredibly useful tool to use while you decide what to take in the future semesters.

If you have any questions about degree requirements, please make an appointment to see me by calling 855-1738. You can also email either serbes@indiana.edu or musgrad@indiana.edu with your questions.

All currently registered students will see two “Advising” holds on their records in OneStart. These holds prevent students from registering for summer and/or fall until the appropriate program planning sheet is approved. The holds do not affect your records in any way other than preventing you from registering for summer and/or fall, so don’t worry if you see them.

[3] Fall Schedule of Classes and registration

I will send out an email announcement when the corrected Schedule for fall is posted and when it’s time to submit your program planning sheets for registration (that will probably be late next week). We are not accepting program planning sheet for fall at this time. Registration for fall will begin in April.

The Schedule of Classes for fall that is currently posted on the Registrar’s Office web site is NOT CORRECT and should not be used for planning.

[4] Changes to Master’s Degree Ensemble Policy for some programs (reminder)

Master’s students,

The School of Music Council has approved a change in policy governing the ensemble requirement for certain master's programs. These changes go into effect beginning fall 2012. (Current requirements for diploma and doctoral students are unchanged.) As with all curriculum changes, by default this change applies only to students who enter under the new bulletin; current students can change to the new requirements using a process described at the end of this message.

Under the new policy, students whose majors are in the following departments are required to enroll in two credits of a major ensemble every semester until four fall-spring enrollments are reached or the student graduates. That is, students in these programs who take more than four fall/spring semesters to complete their master's degree will not be required enroll in ensemble beyond the fourth semester.

Composition (and Computer Music Composition)

Guitar

Jazz Studies

Music Education

Music Theory

Musicology

Percussion

Piano

Voice

The ensemble requirement for degrees in the following departments are unchanged. Students whose majors are in these departments will enroll in two credits of a major ensemble every semester until graduation.

Brass

Choral conducting

Early Music

Harp

Orchestral conducting

Organ (and Organ and Sacred Music)

Strings

Wind Conducting

Woodwinds

Whenever a change in degree requirements is made, by default it applies only to students who begin their degree after the change goes into effect. Current students may, however, petition to change to the new requirements from the requirements they entered under. If you do not ask to change to the new requirements, you will be required to enroll in a major ensemble every semester until graduation (even if you stay beyond four semesters). However, if your major is in one of the departments that have elected the new ensemble option and you anticipate taking more than four fall/spring semesters to complete your degree, you may petition to change to the new bulletin requirements. Please note that if you change to the requirements posted in the 2012 Bulletin, which will be published later before the start of the fall semester, you will be bound by ALL changes in requirement. As of this writing, there have been no other changes to these programs, but it is possible that a small number of changes could be made before the end of the semester.

If you would like to change to the new requirements, please send a petition via email to Prof. Eric Isaacson, Director of Graduate Studies (musicdgs@indiana.edu), that says simply, "My name is ______, master’s student in ______. I would like to change to the 2012 bulletin requirements."

If your major is in a department that has elected to keep the current ensemble requirement, you do not need to take any action. You will still be required to register in ensemble every semester even if you stay in the master’s program for more than four semesters.

__________________________________________________________________

[5] Performance Proficiency (reminder)

All candidates for music graduate degrees in areas other than music performance (composition, conducting, music education, music theory, and musicology) are required to demonstrate a minimum level of music performance ability. Doctoral students must meet the requirement by the end of their fifth semester of enrollment (at the latest). Master’s students need to meet the requirement before graduation.

This is a reminder of the policies relating to the performance proficiency. Please note in particular the time limit associated with option 1.

-----------------------

Music Performance Proficiency

All candidates for music graduate degrees in areas other than music performance (composition, conducting, music education, music theory, and musicology) are required to demonstrate a minimum level of music performance ability equivalent to the end of the second year for elective undergraduate students in that area. Students should consult the appropriate performance department chair for detailed information on the required level.

Proficiency may be demonstrated in any of three ways:

• in person before a faculty auditioning committee, one voting member of which shall at the student's request be a faculty member in the student’s major area;

• by completion of performance study as a graduate outside area or minor; or

• by two semesters of performance study as a graduate elective. The grade in each semester of performance study must be B or higher.

Option no. 1 (auditioning before a faculty committee) may be used only during the first two semesters of enrollment.

The performance area must ordinarily be one in which instruction is offered at the 700 (elective) level in the Jacobs School of Music. With the support of the departmental chair of their major area, students may petition the director of graduate studies to be allowed to demonstrate this proficiency in another performance area. If the petition is approved, the director of graduate studies will appoint an examination committee of three members of the Jacobs School of Music faculty qualified to judge the student’s performance, including at least one member of a performance department and one member of the student’s major area.

-----------------------

Notes for ALL students

• The music graduate office has gathered information from the various departments on what students will be expected to do for the proficiency audition in each area and what procedure to follow to schedule an audition on this web page: http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/perfProfProc.shtml. The only department without information posted is woodwinds, and we hope to add that information soon.

• Students who have not met this requirement are eligible to reserve a practice room until this requirement has been met. Here is the link to the Practice Time Scheduling Office: http://www.music.indiana.edu/departments/offices/business-affairs/practice-time.shtml

• Students who do not own their own instrument may borrow an instrument from the JSOM Instrument Rental Office: http://www.music.indiana.edu/departments/offices/instrumental-rental/index.shtml .

Notes for students who started their degree before fall 2011:

• The required performance level under this new policy is lower than before. Previously the standard was "fourth-year concentration-level." The new standard goes into effect for all students immediately, even though you entered under a bulletin with the higher standard.

• The first bullet-point indicates that students wanting to meet the requirement by audition may do so only in their first two semesters of study. Returning students who have not completed this requirement, however, can do so by audition may do so during the 2011-12 academic year. If you do not meet the requirement by the end of the spring 2012 semester you will need to use the second or third option.

[2] Summer Schedule of Classes and registration

You can now use the Schedule of Classes for summer 2012. You can submit your program planning sheet for authorization to register for the summer.

The registration system will be open for summer registration starting on March 21.

http://registrar.indiana.edu/scheduleoclasses/prl/soc4125/MUS/index.html is a direct link to the summer Schedule of Classes. Jacobs School of Music classes run June 4-July 27.

For information about how to prepare for registration, please read the following web page: http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/registration/registration.shtml.

If you have any questions about degree requirements, please make an appointment to see me by calling 855-1738. You can also email either serbes@indiana.edu or musgrad@indiana.edu with your questions.

I will send out another email announcement when the Schedule for fall is posted and when it’s time to submit your program planning sheets for registration (that will be in late March). We are not accepting program planning sheet for fall at this time. Registration for fall will begin in April.

__________________________________________________________________

[3] Declaration of Doctoral Minors

We have noticed a trend that many doctoral students are waiting until they are almost done with coursework to formally declare their minors. This is a very risky thing – until you formally declare a minor, you have no way of knowing whether or not the courses you are taking will count. Sometimes students take courses that don’t count, spending time and money on what ends up being an extra class. This is something those students could have avoided by declaring their minors early.

Doctoral students are not eligible to register for their 5th semester of coursework until all minors (or guided electives) are formally declared and approved. Please see http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/doctoral/docMinors.shtml for detailed information about minor field requirements and instructions on how to get your minor(s) approved.

If you are a doctoral student who is starting to take (or have already taken) courses that you hope to count towards your minor(s) but have not yet formally declared that minor, or if you are about to enter your fifth semester of enrollment, you should declare your minor(s) immediately.

Please come by the Music Graduate Office is you have any questions or concerns. To set up an appointment to speak with me, call 855-1738.

[6] Doctoral Written Qualifying Exams in Summer 2012 (final reminder)

Doctoral Students,

If you are planning to take a written qualifying exam during the JSoM summer session 2012, you need to sign up in the Music Graduate Office by Friday, March 9, 2012. You can do this through email (musdoc@indiana.edu) or by stopping by the Music Graduate Office (MU011). The information we will need is your full name and which exam (or exams) you plan to take in the summer.

At the moment we are not asking you to reserve a specific date for this summer; we just need to know if you are planning to take a written exam in the summer so that we have time to request the exam questions from your Advisory Committee representatives before the majority of the faculty leaves for the summer. However, if you would like to reserve a specific date (and you are eligible to schedule a date), you will be able to do so as soon as the summer written exam calendar is posted on March 19. Please note that the deadline to sign up for the Music Theory minor field written qualifying exam is April 20, 2012.

Please note that written qualifying exams will only be offered during the JSoM summer session (between June 4 and July 27).

If you want to take an exam in the summer but are not yet fully qualified to schedule a date (for example, you want to take your major field exam in the summer but your topic proposal is not yet approved), then you can tell us before March 9 that you want to take a summer exam, then reserve a specific date once you are eligible to schedule.

Don't forget that you need to submit the "Request to take Doctoral Written Qualifying Exams” form before you can request to take any qualifying examination. You can submit the form in the Music Graduate Office or online at http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/doctoral/qualifyingExams.shtml#Step1b.

See http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/doctoral/qualifyingExams.shtml for information about the qualifying exam process.

Please contact the Music Graduate Office if you have any questions about scheduling summer written exams (Merrill Hall 011, musdoc@indiana.edu, 855-1738).

__________________________________________________________________

[6] Auto-W Deadline for dropping a class (reminder)

The Auto-W Deadline for spring semester 2012 is Wednesday, March 7.

The Auto-W deadline is the dividing line between when you may drop a course and be guaranteed a grade of "W" (any time before Wednesday, March 7) and when you may potentially get a grade of "F" for a dropped course, if you are approved to drop a course at all (after March 7).

Before the Auto-W deadline, you can drop a class by using the eDrop procedure on OneStart (http://registrar.indiana.edu/~registra/dropadd.shtml#edrop).

After the Auto-W deadline, you need the approval of the instructor of the course, the chair of the department that offers the course, and the Music Graduate office in order to drop a class. You do not have the option of using eDrop after the Auto-W deadline, you will need a late add/drop form from the Music Graduate Office.

The main differences in dropping a course after the Auto-W deadline are that the instructor has the option of giving you a grade of "F" for the course if that is the grade you are earning when you request to drop it, and that you need to petition to the Music Graduate Office for permission to drop a course after the Auto-W deadline. Please note that it is extremely rare to get permission to drop a class after the Auto-W deadline.

Please remember that even when you drop a class you are still responsible for maintaining a full-time course load - at least 8 credits for master’s and doctoral students (except for some students in their last semester of coursework), at least 9 credits for all diploma and visiting students.

If you want to add a course after the Auto-W deadline, you will need to pick up a late drop/add form in the Music Graduate Office and gather various signatures. The eAdd system (like the eDrop system) is not available after March 7.

Please make an appointment to speak with me if you have any questions or concerns. To make an appointment, call 855-1738.

[5] Application for Graduation (reminder – deadline February 10)

If you are planning to graduate this May or August, you will need to fill out an application for graduation. You can submit the application online at http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/graduation/gradApp.shtml or you can submit the paper form in the Music Graduate Office (MU011). The form is very short (one page) and should only take a few minutes to complete.

The deadline to apply for graduation if you plan to attend the commencement ceremony in May is February 10, 2012.

If you do not remember whether you have already applied for graduation, you can check your academic advisement report on OneStart. The way you get to your academic advisement report is to log on the OneStart (www.onestart.iu.edu), then click on the “student center” link. From that page, click on “my academics and grades.” That brings you to a page that includes a link to your advisement report, class schedule, grades, etc. Click on “view my advisement report.” Near the end of the report there is a line for "Application for Graduation". If the line is red and says "Not Satisfied", we have not yet received an application for graduation. If the line is not red and says "Satisfied," then we have.

You are required to apply for graduation even if you do not plan to go through the commencement ceremony.

There are no negative repercussions to applying if you end up graduating later (you’ll just need to submit a new application for graduation if your plans change). But if you don’t apply for graduation, you will not graduate.

[1] Doctoral students nearing the end of course work – suggestion for you

I am writing particularly to doctoral students who are in their final semesters of course work and looking towards qualifying exams. As you plan your last courses and think about your schedule for written and oral qualifying exams, I want to encourage you to be thinking about the proposal you will write for a doctoral final project or dissertation. In almost every field at the Jacobs School of Music you need to have an approved topic for your final project or dissertation to make progress on your qualifying exams. In those fields you must have completed the proposal and have it approved before you can take a major-field exam or an oral exam (depending on your department).

You will certainly be eager to get your exams done and officially become a candidate for your degree. The thing that most often delays students is the lack of a complete topic proposal, which sometimes entangles them in time limits. (Students must pass the oral qualifying exam within one year of taking the first written exam.) I am writing to urge you to read about what is required, to consult with potential research committee members, and to plan your work on this proposal as you take your last courses. Details are at http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/doctoral/docIndexFP.shtml. Planning ahead and getting a start on your proposal represents the best way to help yourself make uninterrupted progress.

Please get in touch with the Music Graduate Office if you have questions.

Eric Isaacson
Director of Graduate Studies

[2] Doctoral students: Final Project/Piano Essay/Dissertation Procedure/Timeline

If you have passed your qualifying exams or plan to in the next year or so, you may find useful to read this summary of how long to allow for the various stages of the Dissertation, Doctoral Final Project, or Doctoral Piano Essay (which will be called the document when referring to all three). It may take several months from the time you finish writing until you are eligible to graduate. (The dissertation in Composition differs where indicated.)

Detailed information can be found here: http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/doctoral/docIndexFP.shtml .

Topic Proposal

Students are encouraged to consider possible topics well in advance; some have their topics approved while still completing course work, others just after coursework is complete. The specific deadline varies with the program, however:

* For DM Students: once written and approved by proposed research director, the proposed research committee may take two weeks to review the proposal. Approval is needed before the major field exam can be scheduled (composition students: before the oral qualifying exam)

* For dissertation in music education (DME and PhD): must be approved by proposed research committee before major field exam.

* For dissertation in music theory: must be approved by music theory department before oral qualifying exam

* For dissertation in musicology: may be approved at any time.

Research and write/compose the document

Some students begin this process while still completing coursework. Many get a lot done in parallel with preparing for qualifying exams. The majority of students do most of the work after passing the oral exam.

Research director approval to distribute

Depending on how closely you have been working with the research director during the writing process, the time the research director needs to review the document and approve it for distribution to the research committee may range from a couple weeks to a few months.

Research committee approval

Up to 8 weeks (12 for PhD/DME)

Once you submit the final draft of the document to the graduate office with the approval of your research director to distribute it to your research committee, the committee is given 8 weeks (12 weeks for dissertations) to review the document and approve it for public presentation (there is no public presentation for the Doctoral Piano Essay or composition Dissertation). Faculty may not use the entire review period, but the graduate office will not ask faculty members to complete this review more quickly. (The composition Dissertation has fixed submission deadlines of November 1 and March 1. Reviews are ordinarily complete within 5 weeks in the fall, 6-7 in the spring.)

If the review period does not end until after final exam week, the review deadline will be set for the following semester.

If one or more committee members does not approve the document you will need to revise it and resubmit it. The review period starts over.

Schedule and pass defense/public presentation

Not required for Doctoral Piano Essay or composition Dissertation. Up to a week to arrange date. PhD students only: additional 30 days.

Once all research committee members approve the document, the student may schedule the public presentation. This may be done in the summer only when the Jacobs School of Music is in session and only if the entire research committee is available. (Procedures are slightly different for the lecture-recital.)

PhD students only: the defense must be scheduled at least 30 days in advance.

If the public presentation is not passed the student must make revisions as directed by the research committee, resubmit the document for review, and schedule a new public presentation.

Final revisions, submission

A few days to several weeks

After the public presentation (where required), the research committee is likely to require revisions to the document. Sometimes these changes are minor and can be made within a day or two, but they may be more extensive and may require a few weeks of work. These changes must be approved. Most often only the research director needs to check these, but in some instances other members of the committee may be involved. This can add additional time.

The procedures for final submission of the approved document are in the process of being changed, so we will send more information about that procedure later this semester.

[1] Schedule Adjustment Procedures

Starting Tuesday, January 17, you will use the eAdd, eDrop, or eAdd/eDrop pair systems if you need to adjust your schedule.

The waitlist no longer exists. If you were on the waitlist for a class that was not fulfilled by the end of the day on Friday, January 13, that means that you are NOT enrolled in that class and you will need to add it to your schedule using the eAdd procedure in the 2nd week of classes (if the professor of the class approves).

To add a class through the end of the semester, you will be able to use the eAdd system; details are outlined here http://registrar.indiana.edu/pdfs/eAdd.pdf.

To drop a class through Wednesday, March 7, you can follow the procedure outlined here: http://registrar.indiana.edu/pdfs/eDrop.pdf. This procedure is called eDrop.

Please note there is a policy for an “even exchange of fees” for dropping and adding classes in the 2nd week of classes. To read more about that policy, see this site: http://bursar.indiana.edu/drop_add.php#grad. This new policy applies to schedule adjustments made in the 2nd week of classes only, and only when the change only involves one class dropped and one class added (as a drop/add pair). Read the policy carefully if you intend to make this type of change in the 2nd week of classes.

After the 2nd week of classes, or during the 2nd week of classes if you do not qualify for the even exchange of fees, you will not get a full refund of tuition for a dropped class. http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/registration/scheduleChanges.shtml#Tuition has the fee refund breakdown.

You will be charged a late schedule change fee of $23 for each dropped class and each drop/add pair.

To submit a drop/add pair follow the instructions here: http://registrar.indiana.edu/pdfs/eDropAddPairInstructions.pdf.

Please let us know if you have problems with (or questions about) the eDrop or eAdd systems.

[3]Chamber Music Enrollment Policies (reminder)

Dear Students,

This e-mail is to remind you of changes made to the chamber music program that effect spring 2012.

Required Enrollment Policy (graduate and diploma students participating in chamber music)

ALL students participating in a chamber group that involves faculty coaching or any other small ensemble listed in this e-mail MUST be enrolled using the appropriate course number. Students who enroll to satisfy a requirement for their curriculum MUST enroll for 1 credit. Students who want to participate but who do not need the credit for their curriculum may enroll for 0 credits.

For MUS-F 550 Chamber Music (class number 18094), at least half of the members of the group must be enrolled for 1 credit. Students not enrolling for credit must also enroll, but may do so for 0 credits.

For all instrumental diploma students, enrollment in chamber music for credit is mandatory for every semester.

There are now separate class numbers for some specific chamber groups. These are as follows:

MUS-F 545: Brass Chamber Ensemble

Section 29286: Brass Choir (Cord)

Section 29292: Trombone Choir (Lenthe)

MUS-F 547: Percussion Chamber Ensemble

Section 29302: Percussion Ensemble (Tafoya – percussion majors only)

Section 29300: Steel Drumming (Spiro)

Section 29297: Brazilian Percussion Ensemble (Spiro – percussion majors only, or permission of instructor)

MUS-F 549: Harp Ensemble

Section 22629 (Szmyt, Tai)

MUS-O 550: Jazz Chamber Ensemble (jazz majors only, or permission of instructor)

Section 29336: Jazz Combos (Harbison)

Section 29340: Latin Jazz Ensemble (Spiro)

MUS-Y 550: Early Music Chamber Ensemble (early music majors only, or permission of instructor)

Section 29368 (Elliott)

MUS-F 550: with Prof. Im (students should only register in this section if they have permission from Prof. Im)

Section 32416

Most of these specific groups require authorization, so if you plan to register for one of these sections be sure to check the Schedule of Classes to see whether authorization is required, then contact the instructor to ask for authorization if authorization if necessary.

Please note that not all chamber music groups will count for all degrees. Check your bulletin, degree sheet, or Academic Advisement report to see whether or not the chamber group that you want to take will count for your program requirements. You can also ask in the Music Graduate Office.

If you are participating in chamber music with a faculty coach but not in one of the groups listed above, then you MUST register in MUS-F 550 class number 18094.

Remember, with any chamber music enrollment, if you need the chamber music for a degree requirement you must enroll for 1 credit hour. If you are participating in the group but don’t need the credit for a requirement, you may enroll for 0 credits. However, for MUS-F 550 (only), at least half of the members of the group must be enrolled for 1 credit.

Students should have finalized their schedules by Friday, January 13 (the last day of the first week of classes). If you were charged the schedule adjustment fee of $8.50 when you changed your schedule in order to fulfill the new chamber music requirements, you can ask to have that fee refunded. In order to ask for a refund of the $8.50, write to the Chamber Music coordinator (Larry Vandermolen) at chmusic@indiana.edu by January 20. We will then ask the Registrar’s Office to refund the schedule change fee for those students who were charged the fee specifically to adjust their enrollment in relation to the new chamber music requirements.

The last day to adjust your schedule through the registration system on OneStart is Friday, January 13 (the last day of the first week of classes). There is an $8.50 per session schedule change fee that is charged when you adjust your schedule in OneStart through Friday, January 13.

Please look at your schedule on OneStart to make sure that your schedule reflects every course that you are attending. Master’s and diploma students, you need to check to make sure that you are registered in a major ensemble, too.

Friday, January 13, is also the last day to get a 100% refund on a dropped course. Remember that even if you drop a class you are still responsible for being enrolled full-time (at least 8 credits for most master’s and doctoral students, and at least 9 credits for all diploma and visiting students).

Waitlists are no longer active after Friday, January 13.

Starting Tuesday, January 17, in order to add or drop a class you will use the eAdd/eDrop system (more details are below).

The last day to register for the spring 2012 semester is also Friday, January 13. Remember that you need to submit your program planning sheet online at this web page: http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/registration/PPS.shtml before you can register. You do not need to submit a new program planning sheet if you are already registered and just want to adjust your spring schedule on OneStart.

Please contact the Music Graduate Office if you have any questions. Our phone number is 855-1738. Our email address is musgrad@indiana.edu. The best way to set up an appointment to see me is by calling or by stopping by our office in MU011.

________________________________________________________________________

[2] Schedule Adjustment after January 17

You cannot adjust your schedule between January 14 and January 16.

Starting Tuesday, January 17, you will use the eAdd, eDrop, or eAdd/eDrop pair systems if you need to adjust your schedule.

The waitlist no longer exists after January 13. If you are on the waitlist for a class that is not fulfilled by the end of the day on Friday, January 13, that means that you are NOT enrolled in that class and you will need to add it to your schedule using the eAdd procedure in the 2nd week of classes (if the professor of the class approves).

To add a class on Tuesday, January 17 through the end of the semester, you will be able to use the eAdd system; details are outlined here http://registrar.indiana.edu/pdfs/eAdd.pdf.

To drop a class on Tuesday, January 17 through Wednesday, March 7, you can follow the procedure outlined here: http://registrar.indiana.edu/pdfs/eDrop.pdf. This procedure is called eDrop.

You will be charged a late schedule change fee of $23 for each dropped class and each drop/add pair.

To submit a drop/add pair follow the instructions here: http://registrar.indiana.edu/pdfs/eDropAddPairInstructions.pdf.

Please let us know if you have problems with (or questions about) the eDrop or eAdd systems.

[4]Chamber Music Enrollment Policies (reminder)

Dear Students,

This e-mail is to remind you of changes made to the chamber music program that effect spring 2012.

Required Enrollment Policy (graduate and diploma students participating in chamber music)

For all instrumental diploma students, enrollment in chamber music for credit is mandatory for every semester.

There are now separate class numbers for some specific chamber groups. These are as follows:

MUS-F 545: Brass Chamber Ensemble

Section 29286: Brass Choir (Cord)

Section 29292: Trombone Choir (Lenthe)

MUS-F 547: Percussion Chamber Ensemble

Section 29302: Percussion Ensemble (Tafoya – percussion majors only)

Section 29300: Steel Drumming (Spiro)

Section 29297: Brazilian Percussion Ensemble (Spiro – percussion majors only, or permission of instructor)

MUS-F 549: Harp Ensemble

Section 22629 (Szmyt, Tai)

MUS-O 550: Jazz Chamber Ensemble (jazz majors only, or permission of instructor)

Section 29336: Jazz Combos (Harbison)

Section 29340: Latin Jazz Ensemble (Spiro)

MUS-Y 550: Early Music Chamber Ensemble (early music majors only, or permission of instructor)

Section 29368 (Elliott)

MUS-F 550: with Prof. Im (students should only register in this section if they have permission from Prof. Im)

Section 32416

If you are participating in chamber music with a faculty coach but not in one of the groups listed above, then you MUST register in MUS-F 550 class number 18094.

Students should finalize their schedule by Friday, January 13 (the last day of the first week of classes). If you are charged the schedule adjustment fee of $8.50 when you change your schedule in order to fulfill the new chamber music requirements, you can ask to have that fee refunded. In order to ask for a refund of the $8.50, write to the Chamber Music coordinator (Larry Vandermolen) at chmusic@indiana.edu by January 20. We will then ask the Registrar’s Office to refund the schedule change fee for those students who were charged the fee specifically to adjust their enrollment in relation to the new chamber music requirements.

This announcement is going out to all students who were enrolled in fall 2011. If you graduated in December, then you can disregard it.

__________________________________________________________________

[5] Application for Graduation (reminder)

You are required to apply for graduation even if you do not plan to go through the commencement ceremony.

__________________________________________________________________

[6] Artist Diploma Audition (reminder)

School-wide Artist Diploma Auditions for the spring 2012 semester will be held Wednesday, February 22, 3:30-6:00 PM in Ford Hall. If necessary, additional auditions will be scheduled for Friday, February 24, 3:30-6:00 PM in Ford Hall.

Who performs an audition

You may perform an AD audition if you are currently a Jacobs School of Music student in another degree or diploma program and wish to be considered for the AD program beginning summer or fall semester 2012; this is your admission audition for the program. Before you may perform the School-wide AD audition you must first perform for and be recommended by your department.

Please note that current IU students must audition for both their department and the School-wide committee in the spring semester if they wish to begin the AD program in summer or fall 2012; it is not possible for current students to enter provisionally and then perform the School-wide audition in a later semester.

Students who were new to IU and admitted to the Artist Diploma program provisionally for the spring 2012 semester must perform the AD audition in February to finalize their admission.

How to schedule an audition

Current students in other Jacobs School of Music programs should discuss their interest in the AD program with their teachers. They should then come to the Music Graduate Office (MU011) to sign up for the audition and contact the chair of their department no later than Friday, January 20 to arrange a departmental audition. The department will report the result to the Music Graduate Office.

Students who were admitted to the AD program provisionally for spring 2012 also need to come to the Music Graduate Office to sign up for the audition by Friday, January 20, but do not need to arrange a department audition.

Students recommended for the School-wide AD audition (and students who were admitted to the AD program provisionally for spring 2012) should then consult with their department chair about appropriate repertory for the School-wide AD audition. Students should prepare a typed program and have it approved and signed by the department chair, then bring the approved program to the Music Graduate Office (MU011) by 4:00 PM on Friday, February 10.

Students will be notified of their audition time by February 15 if they are recommended for the School-wide audition and submit their program before the deadline. Students must provide an accompanist, if needed.

Information about the AD program and this School-wide audition (including repertory guidelines) is available at http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/diploma-programs/ADAudition.shtml.

If you have questions, please contact the Music Graduate Office (MU011, musgrad@indiana.edu, 855-1738).

If you have already taken MUS-T 545 and earned a grade of “B” or higher in the last 10 years, you will not need to take the exam.

If you are unsure about whether you were given permission to retake the exam, please email or make an appointment right away to speak with Sara Erbes or Prof. Isaacson.

Students who have a conflict with a religious observance on the exam date should contact Prof. Eric Isaacson, Director of Graduate Studies, right away to arrange an alternative time (you can email musicdgs@indiana.edu).

[3] Registration for Spring Semester 2012 (final reminder)

If you have not yet registered for Spring Semester 2012 but plan to do so:

Please remember that you will need to submit a Program Planning Sheet to the Music Graduate Office before you will be eligible to register for the spring semester. You can do this by submitting an online Program Planning Sheet at http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/registration/PPS.shtml. We are accepting Program Planning Sheets for spring registration now. We process Program Planning Sheets in the order in which they are received. You will usually get a reply to your program planning sheet within 24 hours (not including weekends), but during high volume times (such as now) it may take longer.

Late registration fees will be charged starting tomorrow (Friday, January 6). The last day for JSoM students to register is Friday, January 13.

Classes do fill up, so if you want to increase your chances of getting into specific classes, especially if you plan to graduate in the spring semester, you should submit your program planning sheet and register soon.

Spring semester 2012 will take place from Monday, January 9 through Friday, May 4.

http://registrar.indiana.edu/scheduleoclasses/prl/soc4122/MUS/index.html is a direct link to the spring Schedule of Classes.

For information about how to prepare for registration, please read the following web page: http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/registration/registration.shtml.

Don’t forget that master’s and diploma students are required to register in a major ensemble if they register in any course during spring.

To view your Academic Advisement Report, log on to OneStart (www.onestart.iu.edu), then click on the "Student Self-Service" button on the left side of the page. Next, click on the Go to Student Center link. From that page, click on My Academics and Grades. That brings you to a page that includes a link to your advisement report, class schedule, grades, etc. The Academic Advisement Report has a breakdown of all of your requirements and tracks which requirements you have already completed. It is an incredibly useful tool to use while you decide what to take in the spring semester.

If you have any questions about degree requirements, please make an appointment to see me by calling 855-1738. You can also email either serbes@indiana.edu or musgrad@indiana.edu with your questions.

All currently registered students will see one “Advising” hold on their records in OneStart. This hold prevents students from registering for the spring until the Program Planning Sheet is approved. The hold does not affect your records in any way other than preventing you from registering for spring classes, so don’t worry if you see it before you submit your Program Planning Sheet.

The results of the Graduate Entrance Exams will be posted outside the Music Graduate Office (Merrill Hall 011) by 1 pm on Monday, January 9.

[5] Course announcement: EDUC-C 750 College Pedagogy

(please note: this course will not necessarily fulfill degree requirements for a particular music degree. If you’re interested in taking it, contact Sara Erbes to see whether or not it will count for your degree requirements)

Learning and Teaching on the College Campus: Understanding the Bottlenecks to Student Understanding

EDUC-C 750 Section 23899 11:15A-02:00P Thursdays Spring 2012 ED 3284 Middendorf

Teaching is best cultivated through mastering basic techniques, learning from the experiences of others, and studying the theoretical underpinnings of the practice. In the first part of C750 students will design an undergraduate course and prepare their in-class teaching skills. In the second part, students will practice these skills and develop a teaching portfolio. We will use the Decoding the Disciplines framework to explore the places undergraduates get stuck in their learning and will learn how to dissect the issues that trip them up. We will practice numerous active learning strategies and classroom assessment techniques to become skillful, confident teachers. Students who took the course last semester were enthusiastic. One said, “I used to think some teachers had magic power. Now I have learned the magic power by paying attention to student bottlenecks and learning how to assess if students understand.” Another said, “The bottleneck framework helped me in my own disciplinary research.” The College of Arts and Sciences allows fees to be used for this School of Education course if the COAS graduate student considers a pedagogy course to be part of their doctoral program.

[3] Applications for Graduation (final reminder)

If you are planning to graduate this December, you will need to fill out an application for graduation. You can submit the application online at http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/graduation/gradApp.shtml or you can submit the paper form in the Music Graduate Office (MU011). The form is very short (one page) and should only take a few minutes to complete.

If you do not remember whether you have already applied for graduation, you can check your academic advisement report on OneStart. The way you get to your academic advisement report (formerly called the degree progress report) is to log on the OneStart (www.onestart.iu.edu), then click on the “student center” link. From that page, click on “my academics and grades.” That brings you to a page that includes a link to your advisement report, class schedule, grades, etc. Click on “view my advisement report.” Near the end of the report there is a line for "Application for Graduation". If the line is red and says "Not Satisfied", we have not yet received an application for graduation. If the line is not red and says "Satisfied," then we have.

You are required to apply for graduation even if you do not plan to go through the commencement ceremony.

Academic Misconduct
November 15, 2011
From: Mary Wennerstrom,Associate Dean for Instruction
To: Students in the Jacobs School of Music
Subject: Academic misconduct

As the fall semester draws to a close, and you prepare final projects in your classes, we want to remind you of your responsibility for academic honesty and the importance of avoiding actions of academic misconduct. Academic misconduct is described in detail in the Code (Section II, Student Responsibilities: Academic Misconduct— http://www.iu.edu/~code/code/responsibilities/academic/index.shtml)

During the 2010-2011 year we had 17 reports of academic misconduct by students in music classes.
The charges included:

plagiarism on assignments/papers (9)
            cheating during exam or revealing test information (5)
            fraudulent health excuses (1)
            submitting identical assignments to two different courses (1)
            research paper same as another student in course (1)

Instructor sanctions included:

deducted points from final grade; failing grade on assignment or exam (10)
F in course (7)

Students may appeal charges of academic misconduct, but only with substantial evidence. The Academic Fairness Committee heard a number of appeals last year, but in only one case was the student’s appeal upheld.

This fall we have already received reports on academic misconduct of music students in both music classes and in classes outside the School. These reports become a part of your record in both the Jacobs School of Music and the Office of Student Ethics and may lead to academic probation or dismissal.

We urge you to avoid any actions which can be interpreted as academic misconduct. Consult with your instructor if you are unsure about class procedures. We hope that we do not receive any more reports from the Office of Student Ethics, and that you finish your semester’s work successfully.

[2] Waitlist Options

You may notice that the departmental waitlists that have been in place in previous semesters for music history, music theory, and voice department classes are no longer active. Instead, all waitlists will be handled through the registration system. If you find a course that you wanted to register for is full (and you’re already approved to register), you can place yourself on the waitlist through the registration system.

If you get into a course based on the waitlist, the registration system will automatically move you into that class (you won’t need to take any additional action yourself).

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns about waitlists.

[2] Course announcements for spring semester 2012

The Music Graduate Office invited faculty to submit short course announcements for this e-mail, for you to use as you decide what to register for in spring 2012. Not all of these courses will count for every degree or program.

Subject-catalog Number: MUS-M 510

Class title: Writing about music

Class number: 30010

Class meeting time: TTh, 10.10-11.25

Course description

Music’s capacity to communicate is one of its most compelling and infectious characteristics. And yet it is notoriously difficult to pin down the source and effect of this widely-experienced phenomenon. The idea that music can communicate seems straightforward enough until one is forced to consider more carefully: What exactly is music capable of communicating? By what mechanism is music able to transmit such communications? What is music communicating if every listener can take away a different message? At this point, the metaphor of music as communication becomes fraught with difficulty and provokes controversy among performers, amateur listeners and scholars alike. This course seeks to explore how music’s potential to communicate might be conceptualized from philosophical, music-theoretical, music-analytical and socio-historical perspectives and proposes to examine the notion of communication alongside the closely-related idea that music is not just a product of, but is able actively to mimic and foster, socio-political constructions of community. To this end, we shall read critically a variety of texts that explore this question: essays on hermeneutics by musicologists, an account of musical metaphor by a music theorist with an interest in cognitive psychology, discussions of rhetoric by eighteenth-century theorists and critics, analyses inspired by semiotics, texts in critical theory on communication in modernity and recent French philosophy on language and community.

This seminar will focus on repertoire from the decades around 1800. Arguably at no other point in history would music more prominently foreground its sociable impulse to communicate and to promote human relationships. The prevailing theoretical and aesthetic discourses in the late eighteenth century continued to rely upon a comparison with rhetoric dating back to the early sixteenth century and thereby reinforced the idea of music as a form of communication between composer and listener. It was the rise of the public sphere in the eighteenth century, though, with the attendant transformation of musical life and rapid expansion of amateur consumption, that allowed music’s communicative and community-forming character to be visible as never before. Through close analytical readings of selected works, we shall see how these socio-cultural shifts manifest themselves within the musical fabric of the Classical style, with its heightened conventionality, transparency of structural functions and play of signs.

All with an interest in discussing such issues with critical rigour are encouraged to enrol. An understanding of the basic elements of music theory, together with familiarity with techniques for analysing tonal music, will be required.

Workload/Course requirements

Weekly readings, listening and score study; enthusiastic participation in class discussion, brief in-class presentations in pairs; short reaction papers, analytical experiments and online questionnaires arising from issues raised by the readings; one substantial paper and formal presentation on an approved topic of your choice.

To find the form on OneStart (www.OneStart.iu.edu), click the Services tab, then the Student Self-Service link on the sidebar, then locate the Services & Information section. Then, click the Immunization Compliance link. The Registrar’s office will block your registration if you do not complete this form. http://registrar.indiana.edu/immunization.shtml has detailed information about this policy.

Students who have not yet submitted a final official transcript showing the completion date of your last program will not be eligible to register until that transcript is received in the Music Graduate Office. I emailed the students who have not yet submitted that transcript a few weeks ago. For those of you who are sending transcripts, I will email you once we receive your transcript.

2. Language requirements

If you are in a program that has a foreign language requirement, and you believe that you have already fulfilled all or part of that requirement with coursework from an earlier degree, check on your academic advisement report to see whether that has been updated to your records. (Instructions for getting to your academic advisement report are given in the registration section of this email). If your academic advisement report does not show that the requirement is complete, but you think it should, then please contact the Music Graduate Office. It is possible that it just hasn't been updated yet, but it's also possible that what you did in the past won't count, so you need to check now to confirm what you need to complete.

3. Graduate Entrance Exams

(For master’s and doctoral students. The Graduate Entrance Exams and review courses are not required for diploma and visiting students.)

You do not need to sign up for the Music History, Aural Theory, and Written Theory exams - just come to the exam with a picture ID. You do need to sign up for a Sight Singing exam time by contacting the Music Graduate Office at the end of the fall semester or on Wednesday, January

4. I will send out an email announcement when we start scheduling Sight Singing exam times at the end of the semester.

You do not need to take any exam you have already passed or if you are currently enrolled in the review course (although if you get an unsatisfactory grade in a review course this fall semester you can re-take that exam, if you are eligible, in January 2012).

For your information, the review courses are generally offered on the following schedule:

M541 Early Music History Review - every Fall, every Spring, and every JSoM Summer Session

M542 Late Music History Review - every Fall, every Spring, and every JSoM Summer Session

T508 Written Theory Review - every Fall and every JSoM Summer Session

T509 Sight Singing Review - every Fall and every JSoM Summer Session of odd numbered years

T511 Aural Music Theory - every Spring and every JSoM Summer Session of even numbered years

Remember that the Music Graduate Office website www.music.indiana.edu/graduate is a great source of information about program requirements.

[1] Changes to summer 2012 – dates

Beginning in summer 2012, IU will use a new academic calendar structure. http://registrar.indiana.edu/time_sensitive/tentcalen.shtml has the tentative dates for the next several years.

The Jacobs School of Music has determined that graduate music courses will be offered during the 8 weeks from June 4 through July 27 in summer 2012. It is fairly equivalent to our current “summer session II” offerings, but takes places earlier in the summer. ____________________________________________________________________

[2] Changes to summer 2012 – ensemble requirement waived

By action of the School of Music Council, participation in ensemble will not be required for any student during the 2012 summer term. Some large ensembles, including the Festival Orchestra and the Summer Band, will still be formed during the summer (2012). Interested students who are invited to play in these ensembles will be offered scholarships in exchange for their participation in the ensemble. A decision about the summer ensemble policy for 2013 and following will be made after the effects of this policy on enrollment and ensemble participation have been assessed.

This ensemble waiver applies to summer 2012 only. All other semesters’ ensemble requirements are unchanged.

[6]“Advising” hold (all students)

All currently registered students will see an “Advising” hold on their records in OneStart. This hold will prevent students from registering for the spring semester until the program planning sheet is approved (when it’s eventually time to do that in late October). The hold does not affect your records in any way other than preventing you from registering for spring, so don’t worry if you see it.

Spring registration will begin in late October. I will send detailed information about registration next week after the Schedule of Classes is published. The version of the Schedule of Classes that was posted this week is not yet correct, so do not use that information to make plans. It should be updated next week.
