Ensemble Policy 

While students are encouraged to participate in a variety of ensemble experiences, students must participate in at least one ensemble on their primary instrument every semester in which they are enrolled at SRU and taking applied lessons.  

Students are required to complete an ensemble placement audition each semester after which ensemble directors, in consultation with applied teachers and advisors, will assign semester ensemble placements. Only once all ensembles have been staffed and no other opportunities exist for a specific primary instrument will participation on a secondary instrument be counted toward this requirement. 

In addition, music education students whose primary instrument is voice must play an instrument in an instrumental ensemble for at least one semester and music education students whose primary instrument is anything other than voice must sing in a vocal ensemble for at least one semester.

Important Information for Music Education Majors

• Piano Proficiency: Music education students are expected to achieve piano proficiency by the end of Class Piano IV. Applied piano majors will follow the same proficiency schedule as the class piano students. Students will not be permitted to take the methods block or student teach until the proficiency is passed. See guidelines. Piano Majors will select another instrument for their minor applied requirement but still must pass the piano proficiencies.
• Enrollment in one semester of Marching Band (semester I or III) is a prerequisite to Marching Band Techniques.
• Music Education majors have a choice of Instrumental Improvisation or Keyboard Improvisation.
• Students must pre-register for student teaching one year in advance and must be admitted into Teacher Candidacy.
• Six credits of Math (MATH 113 or higher) required prior to admission to Teacher Candidacy
• Intro to Music Education (MUSI 111), Critical Writing (ENGL 102), Critical Reading (ENGL 104), High Incidence Disabilities (SPED 121) and Human Development (CDEV 248)are required for admission to Teacher Candidacy.

Important Curriculum Guide Notes

This Curriculum Guide is provided to help SRU students and prospective students better understand their intended major curriculum. Enrolled SRU students should note that the My Rock Audit may place already-earned and/or in progress courses in different, yet valid, curriculum categories. Enrolled SRU students should use the My Rock Audit Report and materials and information provided by their faculty advisers to ensure accurate progress towards degree completion. The information on this guide is current as of the date listed. Students are responsible for curriculum requirements at the time of enrollment at the University.
