Department
Michael Rosen, Professor of Percussion Course Requirements Recommended Course Distribution
1 The
Secondary Private Study (piano) requirement must be completed before
the senior recital may be scheduled.
2 These ensemble electives are chosen by the studio teacher from among APST 710 (Oberlin Orchestra), APST 711 (Oberlin Chamber Orchestra), APST 720 (Oberlin Wind Ensemble), or APST 723 (Contemporary Music Ensemble). Eight semesters of participation in large ensembles are required. All required ensemble credits must be earned in on-campus ensembles. Students should register for APST 821 (Ensembles for Percussionists) each semester. APST 821 may be taken for one or two credits at the discretion of the instructor. 3 One course in Music History beyond MHST 101 is required. 4 Three performances on a divisional recital or on an honors recital are required before the senior recital. Alternatively, two performances on a divisional or honors recital, plus a junior recital, may precede the senior recital. Music Theory and Aural Skills Requirement. Students are expected to register for Music Theory and Aural Skills courses each semester until they have completed the requirements. Part or all of these requirements may be waived by placement examination when the student enters Oberlin. If the minimum passing scores are not achieved for placement in Music Theory I (MUTH 131) and Aural Skills I (MUTH 101), a student must first take Introduction to Music Theory (MUTH 120) and/or Introduction to Aural Skills (MUTH 100). If a student exempts Aural Skills I, II, III, or IV, then Aural Skills V (MUTH 301) becomes the terminal course in the sequence. Music Theory I-IV and Aural Skills I-IV must be taken concurrently, e.g., a student will register for Music Theory I and Aural Skills I in the same semester. Under certain circumstances, with the permission of the appropriate division director and the Music Theory division director, students will be allowed to take Aural Skills IV and Music Theory IV separately. A student's aural skills requirement must be completed before the senior recital can be scheduled. Double-degree students will resolve any conflicts with these expectations in consultation with their advisors. Electives. A student should select electives based on the following: a minimum of 76 hours of Conservatory course work is required; a minimum of 24 hours of liberal arts is required. Committee Examinations. The examining committee for the First and Second Major Committee Examinations is comprised of the conductors of the large instrumental ensembles and the percussion teacher. Senior Recital. In conjunction with the Senior Recital, majors will present a lecture-demonstration dealing with various aspects of the performance problems relative to the works on the Senior Recital. Expository Writing Proficiency. Students with an SAT verbal score below 580 or an ACT score below 24, or a TOEFL score below 600 must complete one course chosen from the RHET 111-119 series. |
