Stephen Kalm, Chair

The Department of Music offers students who have demonstrated talent in music the opportunity to continue further study either for a profession or an avocation and to acquire at the same time a broad general education. Complete sequences of courses are given to prepare a student for a career as a teacher or supervisor of music in the elementary/secondary schools; for a career directed toward composition, the music technology industry, private teaching, or concert work; or, for a thorough training in music within the structure of a broad liberal arts curriculum.

Degree programs at the undergraduate level include the Bachelor of Music Education; Bachelor of Music with majors in performance, theory, or composition and music technology; and Bachelor of Arts with a major in fine arts and an option in music. Graduate degree programs are Master of Music with a major in music and options in music education, performance, or composition/technology; and the Master of Arts with a major in music history and literature.

The University of Montana-Missoula is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music.

In general, admission as a major in the Music Department is by certificate from the high school from which the student graduates. The faculty of the Music Department is more concerned with evidence of talent, conspicuous achievement in music, promise of development, and scholarship in general than it is in the precise content of the program which the prospective music student has followed prior to admission to the University.

The Music Department welcomes the opportunity for prospective students and parents to consult with faculty and administration by paper and electronic correspondence and/or by appointment interviews on the campus. Every student wishing to become a music major or minor must take the Music Theory Assessment Examination during orientation and also must audition and be accepted officially into the applied studio of a music faculty member prior to confirmation as a full-admitted major or minor in music..

Candidates for the B.M.E. or B.M. degree and for the teaching major in music must demonstrate, through examination by the keyboard faculty, functional knowledge of the piano normally achieved by completing Music 216 (Intermediate Piano in Class II) or equivalent.
7. Seniors pursuing the B.M.E. or B.A. degrees and deemed outstanding in performance ability by their applied music teacher may perform a one half recital only.

9. All majors seeking upper division standing in applied music will appear in an upper division recital performance. In order to qualify for this performance the student must be recommended by the divisional jury on the basis of performance ability, repertoire studied and sight reading on his/her performing instrument. The recital must be approved by a 2/3 majority of the music faculty in attendance. Failure in the upper division recital performance bars students from admission to music courses numbered 300 or above with the exception of 324H 325H (History of Music I, II).

Upper division large and chamber ensembles and non-required applied study may not count as upper division music electives within the minimum degree requirements except as designated for a particular degree program.
12. Upon successful completion of the Upper-Division Writing Proficiency Assessment, students will complete the Upper-Division Writing Expectation. Candidates for Curriculum A may satisfy this requirement with one course from the MUS 420-425 series or an upper-division writing course which will also satisfy teacher certification requirements.
