[1] Summer 2013 Course Announcement

Are you taking classes in Bloomington this summer? Looking for a 1-credit course to round out your course offerings?

If so, consider enrolling in SCORE READING - A one-credit course designed to make you a better musician by teaching you to transpose at sight, read in multiple clefs, play orchestral scores at the piano, and teach you to hear the inner-workings of a score simply by looking at it and imagining the sounds in your ear and mind. This course is HIGHLY recommended for students considering a graduate degree in conducting.

Sections are available for master’s students (F-531) and doctoral students (F-533). Delivery of course content is very similar to an independent study, so assignments are tailor-made to your skill level and your own best learning pace.

SCORE READING meets during the 8-week summer session, June 3rd-July 26th, 11:30am-12:30pm MWF.

If you are interested in enrolling, contact Dominick DiOrio for permission at ddiorio@indiana.edu -- space is limited and is filling up quickly!

If you have questions about whether this course will fulfill any requirements for your degree, please contact the Music Graduate Office (musgrad@indiana.edu).

Spend the summer honing your skills and becoming a better musician. Join the class today!

[2] Fall and Summer Schedule of Classes and Registration (reminder)

Registration for summer 2013 started on March 20 and registration for fall 2013 began on Monday, April 1.

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 two).

http://registrar.indiana.edu/scheduleoclasses/prl/soc4135fac/index.php is a direct link to the summer Schedule of Classes. Jacobs School of Music classes run June 3-July 26.

http://registrar.indiana.edu/scheduleoclasses/prl/soc4138fac/index.php is a direct link to the fall Schedule of Classes. Jacobs School of Music classes will be held August 26-December 20.

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.

[1] New Music Theory course offering for Fall 2013

Music Theory: Variable Topics (Wagner Operas: Tristan and The Ring)

Class number: 33662

Class meeting time: TR 11:15-12:30

Instructor: Christopher Brody

Among the most written-about musical works of the nineteenth century, Wagner's "music dramas" left no aspect of operatic composition unchanged. This course will offer in-depth explorations of several of his operas, dealing with such topics as dramatic and narrative structure, the role of the Wagnerian Leitmotiv, and Wagner's unique approaches to harmony and form. Our main repertoire will be Tristan und Isolde and Der Ring des Nibelung--in which we will pursue the goals of both large-scale familiarity and close analysis of excerpt--along with briefer forays into other works. While most of our time will be spent on analysis, we will also read a few selections from recent and classic analytical writings on Wagner.

Scores and readings: Students will need to purchase the Schirmer piano-vocal score of Tristan and a course pack containing additional scores for analysis. Readings will be available in the Music Library or electronically.

Requirements: In preparation for each class meeting there will be brief assignments involving analysis, reading, or listening/viewing. Two listening quizzes will test repertoire familiarity. The major projects will be two short papers (6-10 pages).

[6] Avoiding Plagiarism

The word "plagiarism" comes from the Latin word "plagiarius," which means "kidnapper." It refers to the practice of passing off someone else's words or ideas as your own. Plagiarism is one of several types of academic misconduct that can lead to penalties ranging from failing an assignment to failing a course to being dismissed from the school.

To make sure you understand exactly what is considered plagiarism, you are encouraged to review this tutorial produced by the Instructional Systems Technology department in IU's School of Education: https://www.indiana.edu/~istd/.

[2] Registration for MUS-E 493 (for all master’s piano students)

Prof. Taylor asked us to remind any student who plans to graduate in December 2013, and who needs to take MUS-E 493 Piano Pedagogy this fall semester in order to graduate, to contact her immediately to ask for authorization to register for the course. You can reach her at karmtayl@indiana.edu.

She is going to open the course to students who don’t need it for graduation this fall soon, so if you need to take it in Fall 2013 you must contact her immediately or there might not be room in the course for you.

If you have already taken the course, don’t plan to graduate in December 2013, and/or have had MUS-E 493 waived based on previous experience, you can disregard this message.

Let us know if you any questions or concerns.

[5] Applications for Graduation for May and August 2013 (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).

If you plan to enroll for summer courses, your second chance to take these exams will be May 30 and May 31; if you do not enroll in summer courses, you should plan to retake the exams in August.

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 and pencil. You will receive an e-mail once we are ready to begin assigning specific times for sight singing exams.

You do not need to take any exam which 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 spring semester you are eligible to re-take that exam).

[2] Course Announcements

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 2013. Not all of these courses will count for every degree or program.

FALL 2013

Subject catalog number: MUS-T 561

Class title: Music Theory: Variable Topics (20th/21st-Century Dramatic Musical Works)

Class number: 8826

Class meeting time: 9:05-10:20 am., Tuesday, Thursday [please note change in time!]

Instructor name: Prof. Marianne Kielian-Gilbert

Questions of music, drama and theatrical/dramatic performance (acting, staging, character, desire and dramatic convention) motivate this repertoire-based interdisciplinary course in music analysis. We will focus on 20th/21st century dramatic musical works (in music multimediaopera cinema) linking music experience, interpretation (critical theory, dramatic theory), and analysis. Drawing on critical approaches of writers on drama, narrative, and textuality in music, we will examine how listener-perceivers respond to the effects of dramatic performance and how theatrical, operatic, or cinematic characters become performative of and in their material, socialcultural and media settings.

Organized around particular topics, musical works, or analyses (rather than by chronology or survey), the course will also highlight case studies of music of the 20th/21st century that figure female iconic and/or mythic characters by such composers such as Ran, Britten, Stravinsky, Monk, Golijov, Daugherty, and Ortiz.

Prerequisites: MUS-T508, MUS-M542 or equivalent, or permission of the instructor.

Coursework: readings; reaction papers or music analyses on issues arising in the readings; midterm, course research paper, and presentation.

Subject catalog number: MUS-M 510

Class title: Topics in Music Literature: Music Since 1960

Class number: 9449

Class meeting time: 1:00-2:15 pm, Monday, Wednesday

Instructor name: Prof. Phil Ford

This course deals with music from around 1960 to 2013, both from the Western art tradition and from the worldwide vernaculars with which it has increasingly engaged. Modernism, the avant garde, postmodernism, neoromanticism, minimalism, post- minimalism, post-postmodernism, and an assortment of other –isms will come into play, along with issues of technology, media, aesthetics, politics, race, sex and gender, and religion. While this class focuses on music, it will also touch on cultural history more generally and on other art forms as well—theater, dance, film, painting, literature, and various multimedia hybrids. Assigned readings will include both primary and secondary sources; these include pieces written by the artists themselves, the era's leading thinkers, and more recent scholars and critics.

“Music Since 1960” is a low-enrollment, seminar-like class intended to give a richer experience to MA students and to doctoral minors in Music History and Literature. Students enrolled in this class are expected to read about 100 pages per week, write a term research paper, and participate fully in seminar discussions. Please contact Prof. Ford for permission to register.

Questions? Contact us at: gradgrnt@indiana.edu

Access Pivot and IRIS at any time from the GGC website:

http://www.indiana.edu/~gradgrnt/search-our-databases/

This workshop is designed to help IU graduate students become proficient in using the advanced search features of the Pivot (formerly Community of Science) and IRIS (Illinois Researcher Information Service) databases to identify funding for graduate study and research.

Both databases are interdisciplinary and accessible to all IU students and faculty.

Topics to be covered include:

• thinking broadly about the relevance of your work

• creating multiple, focused searches that will help you connect your interests with those of relevant funding agencies

• limiting searches by citizenship, deadline, funding type, location, and more

• setting up funding alerts so the latest results of your searches are automatically sent to you by e-mail

The GGC provides one-on-one assistance with grant proposal writing from our grant-winning consultants and a centralized area to access funding information. Call, email or stop by to schedule a consultation with our consultants to receive assistance with your search for funding opportunities, proposal formulation and grant writing. The GGC is a free service for all Indiana University graduate students.

[7] Doctoral Final Project Public Presentation announcements

There is one public presentation scheduled for next week.

Thursday, April 4, 4:15 pm in M267: Crystal Barrett (DM student in Oboe) will present a defense of her final project topic “An Analysis of the Barret Book and the Sellner Book Through the Lens of Ralph Tyler's and Jerome Bruner's Curricular Theories.”

_________________________________________________________________

[8] Electronic Submission of Doctoral Final Project, Piano Essay, MME, and MM Composition Thesis final copies (reminder)

This message is for doctoral, MME, and MM Composition students who plan to graduate in May 2013.

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. MME and MM Composition students are also encouraged to submit their thesis final copy electronically.

The Music Graduate Office will be examining documents closely for compliance with JSOM style guidelines. Use the Style Guidelines page (link below) to ensure you are following all style guidelines. There is a checklist that students may use to ensure compliance before submitting the document for formal research committee review on that page. 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:

FALL 2013

Subject catalog number: MUS-T 561

Class title: Music Theory: Variable Topics (20th/21st-Century Dramatic Musical Works)

Class number: 8826

Class meeting time: 9:30-10:45 a.m., Tuesday, Thursday

Instructor name: Prof. Marianne Kielian-Gilbert

Questions of music, drama and theatrical/dramatic performance (acting, staging, character, desire and dramatic convention) motivate this repertoire-based interdisciplinary course in music analysis. We will focus on 20th/21st century dramatic musical works (in music multimedia opera cinema) linking music experience, interpretation (critical theory, dramatic theory), and analysis. Drawing on critical approaches of writers on drama, narrative, and textuality in music, we will examine how listener-perceivers respond to the effects of dramatic performance and how theatrical, operatic, or cinematic characters become performative of and in their material, socialcultural and media settings.

Prerequisites: MUS-T508, MUS-M542 or equivalent, or permission of the instructor.

Coursework: readings; reaction papers or music analyses on issues arising in the readings; midterm, course research paper, and presentation.

Catalog number: MUS-T658

Class title: Seminar in Music Theory: Schoenberg, Webern, and Babbitt

Class number: 5718

Class meeting time: MW 1:00-2:15 p.m.

Instructor: Professor Andrew Mead

The seminar will trace some of the implications of Arnold Schoenberg’s “Method of Composing with Twelve Tones Which are Related Only with One Another” through the analysis of music by Schoenberg, his student Anton Webern, and American composer Milton Babbitt. We will review some aspects of twelve-tone theory, but concentrate primarily on analyzing the music to understand how to interpret it both as listeners and performers.

Prerequisites: Some background in pc set theory and twelve-tone theory will be useful, but since I will be introducing my own idiosyncratic approach to these topics, such background will not be entirely necessary. More important is a curiosity about this repertoire, or at least an openness to music that does not work in a scalar framework.

Readings will be from a variety of sources, including but hardly limited to Babbitt, Dubiel, Lewin, Mead, Morris, Peles and Schoenberg. Students will be expected to make presentations as well as complete a major project. Projects may be analytical, theoretical, or an original composition employing techniques discussed in class.

[4] Master’s degree ensemble policy

Master’s students,

The School of Music Council approved a change in policy governing the ensemble requirement for certain master's programs in 2012. These changes went into effect beginning fall 2012. (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 fall 2012 bulletin (or later); master’s students who began their degrees prior to fall 2012 can change to the new requirements using a process described at the end of this message.

Under the 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 (including 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 (including 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. Students who started their degree prior to the change in requirements 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 and you started your degree prior to fall 2012, 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, 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.

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

You can now use the Schedule of Classes for summer 2013. You can submit your program planning sheet for authorization to register for the summer.

Please remember that you will need to submit a Program Planning Sheet to the Music Graduate Office before you will be eligible to register. 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 registration now.

The registration system will be open for summer registration starting on <<>>.

http://registrar.indiana.edu/scheduleoclasses/prl/soc4135fac/index.php is a direct link to the summer Schedule of Classes. Jacobs School of Music classes run June 3-July 26.

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.

To view your Academic Advisement Report, log on the 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 future semesters.

If you have any questions about degree requirements, please make an appointment by calling 855-1738. You can also email 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.

_________________________________________________________________

[9] Outside Areas for master’s students and Doctoral Minors for doctoral students – approval forms (reminder)

Remember that you need approval for the courses you will use in either a master’s outside area or a doctoral minor, and if you take a class without approval you run the risk that you’ve chosen a class that will not count. If you did choose a class that isn’t eligible for that requirement, then you’re taking an extra class that won’t count for your degree requirements.

It is very important that you submit the approval form BEFORE you take a class for either requirement.

http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/masters/OA.shtml has details about the master’s degree Outside Area requirement and a link to the approval form.

http://www.music.indiana.edu/degrees/graduate-diploma/doctoral/docMinors.shtml has details about the doctoral minor field requirements and a link to the approval form. For doctoral students, there is an additional requirement that students are not eligible to register for their fifth semester until all doctoral minors (or guided electives) are formally approved.

The capstone for all doctoral degrees is a substantial research project or composition. The project includes a written component and a public presentation. The public presentation is always attended by the members of the student’s Research Committee. Other members of the Jacobs School of Music community are also welcome to attend the public presentation. We will be sending announcements about upcoming public presentations to this email list so that interested students can attend.

There is one public presentation scheduled for the week of March 18:

Thursday, March 21, 4:15 pm in M267: Kenneth Pereira (DM student in Voice) will present a defense of his final project topic, “Prelude to Opera Workshop: A Stage Movement Curriculum for Universities Offering a Bachelor of Music Degree in Voice.”

_________________________________________________________________

[5] Performance Proficiency requirement (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:

1. 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;

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

3. 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.

• 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 had not completed this requirement were able to do so by audition during the 2011-12 academic year (since the policy changed after they started their degree). However, if you did not meet the requirement by the end of the spring 2012 semester you will need to use the second or third option.

_________________________________________________________________

[6] Doctoral Written Qualifying Exams in Summer 2013 (reminder)

Doctoral Students,

If you are planning to take a written qualifying exam during the JSoM summer session 2013, you need to sign up in the Music Graduate Office by Friday, March 8, 2013. 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 18. Please note that the deadline to sign up for the Music Theory minor field written qualifying exam is April 26, 2013.

Please note that written qualifying exams will only be offered during the JSoM summer session (on specific dates during the months of June and July).

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 8 that you want to take that 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, 855-1739).

Notes for students who started their degree before fall 2011:

_________________________________________________________________

[2] Auto-W Deadline (reminder)

The Auto-W Deadline for spring semester 2013 is Wednesday, March 6.

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 6) 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 6).

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 (other than the procedure) 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 (unless part-time enrollment was previously approved) and at least 9 credits for all diploma and visiting students.

Also, please remember that at this point in the semester you will not get any refund of tuition for a dropped course.

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 6.

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

• You are having difficulty handling your academic responsibilities

• You are having difficulty relating to others, including friends and family

• You are experiencing negative consequences from alcohol or drug use

[2] Project Jumpstart events
IDEA Competition Information Session *Win $7,000*
Thursday, February 28 | 7:30 - 9:00 PM | M242

The Johnson Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation will be hosting its annual IDEA competition. The IDEA Competition is a campus-wide competition to promote student entrepreneurship. All Indiana University students with original business plans are eligible. The venture must be in an early stage, and cannot yet be generating any sales. Competition features 3 rounds: a one minute pitch, a second round with a more detailed presentation, and a final presentation before a group of local entrepreneurs and IU faculty on March 29^th at the Kelley School. This competition is not quantitatively focused, and does not expect detailed financial statements from the entrants. In fact, the JCEI fellows will be hosting several workshops throughout the semester to help students outside of the business school put together a thought-out plan. Fellows and business graduate students will be willing to mentor teams on a one-on-one basis. Last year's winner, IU JSOM student Stevan Jovic won $3,000 to invest into his idea, "Practice-Right." This year, there is $7,000 up for grabs. For more information, questions, or to sign-up, e-mail the JCEI Fellows at icfellow@indiana.edu.

Project Jumpstart is creating a collaborative resource reviewing vendors and recital locations in the Bloomington, IN area.

We are interested in your experiences! If you have recently rented an off-campus recital space or hired someone to photograph, video, record, or build a website, please give us your opinions. Those who complete the following survey will be entered into a drawing to win their choice of the following prizes:

• Gray Quarter-Zip Jacobs School of Music Sweatshirt

• Crimson Jacobs School of Music Travel Coffee Mug and Cream and Black Jacobs School of Music Tote

• Set of four white ceramic Jacobs School of Music Coffee Mugs and choice of one music entrepreneurship book

[6] Collins Living-Learning Center Course Proposal application information (reminder)

Is there a course you've always wanted to teach, but never had the opportunity?

Have you designed a multidisciplinary course that doesn't quite fit into your department's curriculum?

Collins Living-Learning Center invites faculty members and advanced graduate students with teaching experience to submit course proposals each semester for the following year.

Collins courses carry university credit and are open to all IU undergraduates.

PROPOSAL DEADLINE FOR CLASSES TO BE TAUGHT IN Spring 2014: FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 5:00 pm

The 3 credit Collins seminars are limited to a maximum of 20 students (15 in the case of fine arts classes) and meet at the Collins Living-Learning Center, which is fully-equipped for multi-media teaching.

Graduate student instructors receive $6829 for a 3-credit course.

In addition, they are given $400 to spend on materials or activities, meal points for dining with students and a parking pass.

Collins is also accepting applications from faculty to teach overload courses (with appropriate compensation).

We will hold an open house where prospective instructors can meet Collins’ BOEP members (Board of Educational Programming) in Edmondson Hall Formal Lounge on Friday, February 22, from 5 to 7 pm (snacks included).

[1] Project Jumpstart: Music Copyright and Licensing in the Digital Age

Tuesday, February 5 | 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM | MC036

Both performers and academics struggle to navigate copyright in the digital age. Whether you’re interested in copyrighting your own creative output or in using copyrighted material for performances, recordings, research, or teaching, IU JSoM’s resident copyright lawyer, Naz Pantaloni, will guide you through the process of legally performing, recording and distributing music. Come with questions! Jimmy Johns will be served. Your RSVP allows us to better anticipate the amount of food and materials to provide. RSVP at http://www.eventbrite.com/event/5322624112

[2] Project Jumpstart: The Well-Advised Lunch Series with Host Tom Wieligman

Wednesday, February 6 | 11:45 AM – 1:00 PM | Music Graduate Office Conference Room (MU011)

The Well-Advised Lunch Series invites a limited number of students to casually dine with an IU faculty member or guest. This latest offering of Project Jumpstart seeks to encourage community and entrepreneurship throughout the School of Music. Unlike Project Jumpstart workshops, there is no established agenda. Instead, students are free to network and discuss whatever topic they and their host deem necessary. A boxed lunch from Panera will be provided.

The first host of The Well-Advised Lunch will be Tom Wieligman. The series will begin on Wednesday, Feb. 6 from 11:45 - 1:00 PM in the Music Graduate Office Conference Room (MU011). Reservations are limited to the first 9 students. Once the first 9 slots are filled, students may select to be added to the alternate list. If a student who has RSVP’d becomes indisposed, students on the alternate list may be offered the vacant slot.

RSVP at http://www.eventbrite.com/event/5321789616
