Program Description

The Music Department at CSUEB integrates rigorous academic training with a driving passion for the making of great music: the classics from the European-American tradition, great jazz, the new 'classics' of our own time, world music, experimental music and more. With a rich variety of opportunities for performing and composing and a deep commitment to teacher education, the Music Department offers something for all students seriously committed to pursuing a life in music.

Student performance groups are open to all qualified students and one need not be a music major to participate. There are more than twenty active ensembles including Symphonic Band, Jazz Workshop, University Singers, Orchestra, Opera Workshop, New Music Ensemble, Chorus, Oratorio Society, Percussion Ensemble, Chamber Singers, and many small vocal and instrumental ensembles.

The Department of Music offers Bachelor of Arts degree and Master of Arts degree majors which are fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music. All music majors have the advantage of continuous applied lessons with instrumental, vocal, or composition teachers on the faculty. A music minor is also offered.

The Music Department occupies a large, fully-equipped, modern facility with a number of special resources: a Media Center for Music Technology; Music Resource Center, with thousands of scores and recordings; Choral Music Education Student Resource Center, with thousands of choral octavos and conducting resources; large musical equipment collection for student use; Recital Hall with custom acoustical design; and professional recording facilities.

The Music curriculum is designed to serve the needs of students who have career goals in performance, composition, music technology, jazz, public school or private teaching, or graduate study, as well as those who are pursuing other fields of study and choose music as an elective.

Student Learning Outcomes
Students graduating with a B.A. in Music from Cal State East Bay will have achieved the following: 1) improved rhythm and pitch identification skills and pitch accuracy for application in performance and composition; 2) development of enriched tone production in tandem with improved technical skills in performance; 3) enhanced awareness and knowledge of theoretical structures and compositional techniques; 4) an awareness of historical context and references as well as an increased awareness and knowledge of the literature; 5) improved listening skills and levels of interaction in ensemble performance.

Special Requirements of the Department of Music


I.	Applied Music
	A.	Each Music major will declare a principal medium (keyboard, voice, orchestral or band instrument, guitar, composition) with the department and perform an audition prior to his or her first quarter registration. The audition will be heard by a committee appointed by the chair of the department. This committee will evaluate the student's applied music level and will determine probationary conditions, if any, under which a student may be admitted as a music major.
		Majors entering with composition as their applied area are required to be proficient in an instrumental medium. Since composition instruction does not normally begin before the sophomore year, an entering freshman will audition and enroll for instrumental instruction as described above; or, with permission of a composition instructor, may enroll without audition for Applied Piano.
	B.	Probationary Standing. A student who is admitted on probation will be allowed to enroll for one and no more than three quarters of applied instruction. To continue as a music major, the student must re-audition at the completion of this study and satisfactorily remove the conditions of probation.
	C.	Each music major must continuously study in his or her principal medium until he or she completes the level 40 requirements outlined in the Handbook for Undergraduate Music Majors.
	D.	Applied instruction may not exceed 6 units in lower division and 12 units in upper division without permission from the department chair.
	E.	In order to receive applied instruction, an undergraduate student must be enrolled for a minimum of six units, two of which must be in any music course other than performing ensembles and applied music, and must be making satisfactory progress toward the degree.
II.	Recitals
	A.	Music majors are to appear each year in regularly scheduled student recitals as determined by the department.
	B.	Specific recital performance requirements are outlined in the Handbook for Undergraduate Music Majors.
	C.	Degree Recitals and Ad Hoc recitals may not be scheduled during the last week of regular classes of a quarter or during final exam week, nor during the weekend between these two weeks. Departmental approval is required for recitals scheduled during academic breaks or Summer Quarter.
	D.	Attendance at six recitals and concerts each quarter is required of all music majors. Recital attendance cards may be obtained in the Music Department office.
III.	Performance Groups
	A.	Each music major is required to be in one major music performance activity each quarter in which he or she plays his or her principal instrument.
	B.	The 4 units of chamber ensemble required for the Music major should be taken in 4 different quarters.
IV.	Proficiency Tests
	A.	Proficiency tests may be required in any or all aspects of music performance skills, theory, and history and literature as a basis for determining placement in sequence courses.
	B.	An upper division transfer student who has completed most of his or her music major may be required to take certain courses in theory, history and literature, and performance.
	C.	All new music majors (except keyboard majors) are required to take a piano proficiency exam. If the exam is not passed, the student must enroll in the appropriate level of class piano instruction until the proficiency exam or MUS 2313 is passed. (Freshmen music majors, including keyboard majors, are required to take for credit a minimum of MUS 1314, 15, 16. They may challenge the course for credit if they believe their keyboard skills meet the demands of MUS 1314, 15, 16.)
