Marilyn I. Walker 228

brocku.ca/music

The goal of the Department of Music, part of the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts, is to prepare students for their chosen musical career and to produce critically aware musicians with a broadly based musical education. The Department of Music offers programs of study leading to a Bachelor of Music (BMus) Honours, a Bachelor of Arts (BA) Honours in Music, a BA with Major in Music and a Pass BA degree program. Students may also pursue a combined major or a minor in Music.

BMus and BA Honours students may earn a Concentration in Music Education, a Concentration in Music History and Theory or a Concentration in Music Therapy Foundations. BMus students may declare a Concentration in Music Performance following a successful audition. All concentrations are satisfied by successfully completing designated courses in addition to general program requirements. Alternatively, students may earn a BMus or a BA Honours degree without declaring a concentration.

Students take core courses in music history, theory, general musicianship and choral ensemble. Students in the BMus program must take lessons in one of the following areas: piano, pipe organ, voice, classical guitar, harp, flute, oboe, clarinet, classical saxophone, bassoon, trumpet, French horn, trombone, tuba, percussion, violin, viola, cello and double bass. If lessons are not taken in successive years, students must re-audition.

Student progress will be evaluated annually. To continue in the BMus program students must achieve a minimum grade of 60 percent in all MUSI courses and a minimum 70 percent major average. Any student who does not meet these requirements will be placed in the BA with Major program. To re-declare to BMus a student must upgrade any MUSI course in which the minimum of 60 was not achieved and raise their major average to 70 percent. Otherwise students may continue in the BA with Major program.

The requirement for graduation with a BMus or BA (Honours) is a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average. The requirement for graduation with a BA with Major is a minimum 60 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent overall average.

Facilities

The Department of Music is located in the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts building in downtown St. Catharines. Facilities in the Department of Music include Smart classrooms, applied music studios, choral and instrumental ensemble libraries, and a digital music lab. There are individual soundproofed practice rooms with pianos for use by music students. One of these rooms is equipped with virtual acoustic technology and the capability for digital recording.

Rehearsals and live performances take place in Cairns Recital Hall in the adjacent FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre building. Additional performances take place in Partridge Hall, and in Concordia Lutheran Seminary on main campus.

An extensive selection of recordings as well as substantial holdings of music literature, collected editions, scores and special collections are housed in the James A. Gibson Library. Students have access to numerous online resources including Classical Music Library, Naxos Music Library, Oxford Music Online and RILM Abstracts of Music Literature.

Public Events

The Department of Music offers a regular series of events open to students, university faculty and staff and the general public. These include the professional Encore concert series, the Viva Voce Choral Series, University Wind Ensemble and String Orchestra concerts, the Guitar Extravaganza and the RBC Foundation Music@Noon Series on Tuesdays.

Large Ensembles

The Department has several choral ensembles, a wind ensemble and a string orchestra. Participation in the choral ensembles is open to any student who successfully completes an audition, and is required of single and combined majors. The wind ensemble and the string orchestra are open to any member of the University community or the general public who successfully completes an audition.

Resident Ensembles

The Avanti Chamber Singers (ACS) is a community choir with strong ties to the Department. The ACS presents concerts in the Viva Voce Choral Series and is occasionally featured in joint performances with the Department's student choral ensembles. The Walker String Quartet is the Department's resident chamber string ensemble. With a mandate of community outreach and promotion, the Quartet's members provide the core of the Department's string instruction, bring workshops and performances to regional high schools, and perform in the Department's concert activities.

Entrance Requirements for Music Majors

Prospective majors must possess a level of musical literacy equivalent to Royal Conservatory Level 7 Theory (Advanced Rudiments), as well as the necessary aural and keyboard skills to complete the course requirements in Music. Prospective majors should possess a level of keyboard proficiency equivalent to Royal Conservatory Grade IV or above.

Prospective students must arrange an audition with the Department of Music. Admission as a major will depend on the completion of placement tests in rudiments of theory, keyboard and aural skills. Details concerning interviews, tests and auditions are available at brocku.ca/music. Admission to Music major programs with transfer credits from colleges and universities requires an overall average of 70 percent in music courses.

An audition on a solo instrument or voice is required of all applicants to the BMus program and of all students wishing to take electives in applied music. Auditions, in conjunction with interviews and placement tests, begin in early March. Please consult brocku.ca/music for dates.

The recommended audition level for admission into MUSI 1F92 and the BMus program is at least Royal Conservatory Grade IX or its equivalent. Students who are not at this level may audition for MUSI 1F81 or 1P82. Applied music students who study with an approved nonresident instructor should be prepared to cover additional travel and instruction fees.

Language Requirement for Music Majors

Students in the Department of Music are required to complete one credit in one of the following languages: French, German, Italian or Latin. Where half-credit courses are used to satisfy the requirement, both half credits must be in the same language.
