Programs of study
The Department of Music offers two degree programs and one minor. Each degree program offers the student the opportunity to concentrate on a particular instrument or voice. The Bachelor of Music combines the University’s distinctive general-education program with professional studies in music to prepare for careers in education, performance, or graduate study in music. The Bachelor of Arts in Music combines music studies with the liberal arts or career-oriented minor programs to prepare for a broad range of careers in the music industry and related areas. Orientation and advising are available from the department to assist students in the choice of a degree plan. The Music Studies minor combines a basic core of music-foundation studies with applied study.
Music study for non-majors
General Education
Invitation to Listening (MUS 121), School Music for the Elementary Teacher (MUS 255), and Music History, 19th Century to Present (MUS 342) are options for completing the Fine Arts core requirement. Several music courses also help satisfy the writing reinforcement requirement.
Ensembles
The department’s choral and instrumental ensembles actively seek qualified participants who are non-music majors. A complete list of ensembles is provided on this page.
Private lessons
Individual music instruction is open to all students who meet the stated prerequisites. Priority is given to music majors. In addition to tuition, a private-lesson fee of $65 or class-lesson fee of $50 will be charged for each credit hour.
Admission and retention
Admission to a degree program or minor in music is based on an audition in the primary performance area. Those who do not meet entrance standards for the primary performance area may be required to study 100-level elective applied music until those standards are achieved. These preparatory credits do not apply toward the degree.
B.M. students whose primary instrument is not piano must complete the four-semester Class Piano course sequence (MUP 129, 130, 229, and 230), and MUP 290. B.A. students whose primary instrument is not piano or organ must complete the first two semesters of the sequence. Placement in this series depends on results of the admission test in functional piano. Test results may offer the option of another secondary performance area to meet this credit requirement.
All music majors must enroll in MUS 100 for eight semesters (seven semesters for Music Education majors; six for B.A. majors). This zero-credit course requires students to maintain a satisfactory attendance record at recitals and concerts.
In order for a student to remain a music major, a minimum grade of C is required for all required music courses, with a limit of two attempts to successfully pass a class (subject to extenuating circumstances).
Advanced standing in music from other accredited institutions is determined by audition in the primary performance area and appropriate examinations in music theory, ear training, sight singing, music history, and functional piano.
Course descriptions
MUP—classes in applied music, ensembles, and all private lessons
Students must pass an audition for initial enrollment in 100-level private lessons. An Upper-Division Qualifying Exam is required before enrolling in 300-level MUP private lessons.
Music majors must complete six to eight semesters of MUP private lessons in one area of study (e.g., clarinet, guitar, organ, voice, trumpet) as part of completion of a degree program. Students are also required to undertake a secondary area of study.
MUS—courses in music history, theory, literature, and pedagogy
Reproduction Rights
The Department of Music reserves the right to retain examples of student work for instructional purposes and to use photographs, video and/or audio recordings of student performances in promotional materials the department produces or approves.
Accreditation
The University of Montevallo has been an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music since 1931.
Degree programs in music
All music degree programs include a music core, applied studies, advanced studies, and specialized area studies (for B.A. students, area studies include general electives or an approved minor). Prior study or preparation may exempt students from some courses.
