1 Four
credits must be completed by participating in (APST 701 (Oberlin
College Choir). Four credits may be selected by the student from
the following: APST 843 (Baroque Ensemble--maximum two credits),
APST 800 (Chamber Music Ensemble--maximum two credits), APST 730
(Collegium Musicum--maximum two credits), APST 723 (Contemporary
Music Ensemble--maximum two credits), APST 700 (Musical Union--maximum
two credits), a major operatic role (maximum two credits), APST
704 (Opera Chorus--maximum two credits), APST 703 (Chamber Choir--maximum
two credits).
2 Two courses in Music History beyond MHST 101 are required. 3 These requirements may be fulfilled by passing a standardized examination devised by the language instructor. 4 Transfer students granted sixteen or more hours in private voice study are required to take the Second Major Committee in the first semester at Oberlin. 5 Two performances on a divisional or studio recital, or on an honors recital are required before the junior recital. 6 The junior and senior recitals may be performed during the first or the second semester, or during Winter Term. Major Status. Sophomore Major Status is attained upon completion of: The First Major Committee Examination. Junior Major Status is attained upon completion of: Principal Private Study IV and the Second Major Committee Examination. Senior Major Status is attained upon completion of: Principal
Private Study VI and the Junior 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. 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 courses is required; a minimum of 24 hours of liberal arts is required. Vocal Coaching. The following courses are available to singers wishing to coach recital material or to explore the French and German Art Song repertoire: APST
204 Interpretation of Art Song (coaching for senior or artist diploma
recitals--singers should register jointly with their accompanists
whenever possible)
MLIT
220 The Lied (a performance-oriented course in German Art Song)
MLIT
221 The Mélodie (a performance-oriented course in French
Art Song)
Language Study. To fulfill language requirements of many graduate schools, additional language study may be taken in the College of Arts and Sciences. Students may choose to participate in intensive Winter Term language study offered by the language departments. However, the 101 requirements will only be considered completed if a proficiency test, given by the language department, is satisfactorily passed at the end of the Winter Term. Attention is called to an intensive summer language study program in Urbania, Italy. The course includes a month's study of Italian language and culture, Italian poetry as it relates to the song literature, and musical coaching. Five credits are granted for this study. Voice majors are given preference. For further information consult the faculty sponsors, Gerald Crawford and Daune Mahy or see "Oberlin in Italy" listed earlier in this catalog.
