SCHOOL OF MUSIC HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT HANDBOOK

(2016-2017)

INTRODUCTION In outlining the policies and procedures of the School of Music, this handbook supplements the UNCSA High School Bulletin and the UNCSA High School Student Handbook. Any questions regarding the policies contained herein should be directed to the School of Music. The School of Music encourages all students to read and be familiar with the contents of all three publications: the UNCSA High School Bulletin, the UNCSA High School Student Handbook, and the School of Music High School Student Handbook. To the extent that any provisions of this handbook are inconsistent with either the UNCSA High School Bulletin or the UNCSA High School Student Handbook, the provisions of either the Bulletin or the UNCSA High School Student Handbook shall control.

ETHICS & STANDARDS OF CONDUCT UNCSA School of Music Standards of Professional Excellence

The UNCSA School of Music prepares aspiring musicians to be at the forefront of the music profession. To achieve this goal, UNCSA students commit to the following standards of professional excellence:

To prepare thoroughly and be punctual for all assigned lessons, classes, coaching sessions, rehearsals, and performances.

To respond promptly to messages and notify teachers, colleagues or the appropriate staff of any scheduling conflicts that may arise.

To be courteous and respectful to people and treat all property with care.

To speak truthfully, honor commitments, and support peers in their pursuit of excellence.

To care for personal health and be considerate of the well-being of others.

Academic Integrity Policy UNCSA is committed to fostering an intellectual, artistic, and ethical environment based on the principles of academic integrity as a critical part of educating artists and citizens. Academic integrity is essential to the success of the University’s mission, and violations of academic integrity constitute offenses against the entire UNCSA community. Students who violate University rules on academic integrity are subject to disciplinary penalties, including the possibility of failure in the course and/or dismissal from the University. Since such academic integrity violations harm the

7


individual, all students, and the integrity of the University, policies on academic integrity will be strictly enforced. For further information consult the appropriate UNCSA Student Handbook.

UNCSA Student Code of Conduct All School of Music students are expected to abide by the UNCSA Code of Conduct contained in the UNCSA High School Student Handbook. An individual who observes student conduct which violates the Code should contact the Office of Judicial Affairs for guidance. Anyone who observes a criminal act should contact the UNCSA Police Department. Additionally, in certain unique circumstances, the Dean of the School of Music may initiate an administrative hearing. See the UNCSA High School Bulletin for additional information.

Formal Complaints Against Faculty or Staff A student wishing to file a formal complaint against a member of the faculty or staff in the School of Music should articulate the grievance in writing to the Dean. The Dean will investigate the matter, render a decision, and respond in writing to the complaint. Any student requiring immediate intervention with a staff or faculty member should contact either the associate or assistant dean.

COMMUNICATION Communication within the School

School of Music correspondence will be sent to students via campus e-mail accounts and campus mailboxes. Students are responsible for checking these regularly and will be held accountable for all official correspondence sent to either place. NOTE: Students wishing to maintain an off-campus e-mail address should contact the Information Technologies office for instructions regarding forwarding the contents of the UNCSA e-mail account to another server. The School of Music maintains official bulletin boards in the School of Music Complex along the hallway between the Music Office and the ensemble rehearsal rooms. Check the bulletin boards on a daily basis and respond to messages immediately. The School of Music provides bulletin boards for students to post information at various locations in both the School of Music Complex and Gray Building. Under no circumstances should any notices be posted on the walls or doors of the School of Music Complex. In addition, do not post notices on glass doors in the Gray Building as it creates a potential safety hazard.

Communication with Parents Per UNCSA policy, the School of Music reserves the right to contact parents of all high school students, including those eighteen years of age or above.

MUSIC CLASSES & REQUIREMENTS Graduation Requirements

To earn the UNCSA high school diploma, a student must complete the required academic courses prescribed by the UNCSA High School Academic Program. This program includes academic courses in English, social studies, mathematics, science, health and physical education. Required music instruction includes weekly lessons and master classes. Chamber music and large ensembles may be assigned by the major teacher as appropriate. Students in 11th and 12th grades are required to enroll in Music Theory & Musicianship, Aural Skills, or Music Literature & Analysis, as assigned by the theory faculty.

Diploma with Designation “Concentration in Music” In order to receive the designation “Concentration in Music” on the high school diploma, a student must make satisfactory progress in individual performance instruction and successfully complete (or be placed out of) the two-semester Music Theory & Musicianship sequence (MUS 0311 and MUS 0312).

Music Theory, Aural Skills, and Music Literature Classes All 11th and 12th grade students in the School of Music are required to enroll in the Music Theory & Musicianship (MUS 0311 and MUS 0312), Aural Skills (MUS 0321 and MUS 0322), and Music Literature & Analysis (MUS 0341 and MUS 0342) classes, as assigned by the theory faculty. In rare cases, after consultation with the appropriate classroom teacher and the major teacher, the Associate Dean may choose to exempt a student from this requirement.

Performance Hour (MUS 0090) The weekly Performance Hour (held Wednesdays, 2:00-2:50 p.m.) provides a forum for students to perform in public before their peers and the faculty. All high school music students are required to attend Performance Hour every semester enrolled at UNCSA. Students should carefully read the Performance Hour syllabus. Performance Hour is graded solely on attendance, and no Performance Hour absences will be excused except in the most extenuating circumstances and at the discretion of the Associate Dean. Students interested in performing on Performance Hour should submit a request form signed by their major teacher to the Music Office at least two (2) weeks in advance of the requested date. Request forms are available in the Music Office.

Intensive Arts (MUS 0599) The period following Fall Semester final examinations is reserved for special projects and events. All students are required to be in residence during this time and should make travel arrangements accordingly. Each student must submit to the Music Office a completed Intensive Arts contract by the deadline announced during Fall Semester.

9


PLACEMENT & REGISTRATION First-of-Year Hearings

“First-of-Year Hearings” are used to determine annual ensemble placement and chamber music assignments. Those students required to perform a First-of-Year Hearing are assigned a hearing time that occurs during the fall orientation period.

Music Theory and Aural Skills Placement Evaluations Placement evaluations are given to students in 11th and 12th grades in order to determine placement into the appropriate music theory or aural skills class.

Drop/Add Procedures All students are responsible for ensuring that they are properly registered for music courses taken each semester; consequently, students should check their schedules carefully. Any student wishing to drop or add music courses from their schedule must receive approval for the change(s) from the Associate Dean (or designee). Adjustments to a schedule should be made before the drop/add deadline. Requests sought after the deadline cannot be accepted.

EVALUATION & GRADING Midterm Reports

Students are evaluated at midterm. Students who receive a negative midterm report should schedule an appointment with the teacher making the evaluation to discuss ways of rectifying the concerns.

Final Examinations Final examinations in Music Theory & Musicianship, Aural Skills, and Music Literature & Analysis take place during a designated period toward the end of each semester.

Juries Performance evaluations (“juries”) occur twice each year. Juries are required of all matriculating students. For specific information on the requirements and grading of juries, students should consult the syllabus provided by the major teacher. At the discretion of the faculty and with the approval of the Dean (or designee), under certain circumstances a student may be excused from a jury.

Incomplete Course Work A grade of “Incomplete” may be assigned when a student is unable to fulfill requirements of a course because of medical or personal emergencies. The Registrar’s Office gives students one full semester to make up incomplete course work; however, an individual faculty member may designate an earlier deadline for making up the incomplete course work. Failure to complete the course work by the end of the following semester will result in a grade of “F” for the course. It is the student’s responsibility to coordinate with the faculty member when and how the incomplete work is to be made up.

10


Request for Change of Major Teacher Any student wishing to change teachers must first discuss their desire with the current major teacher. If that teacher is in agreement, the student must then discuss the matter with the proposed new teacher. Finally, if both teachers support the change, a written request must be submitted to the Dean for final approval. Only after that approval has been granted will the change become official.

Grading System The traditional “A” through “F” grading system is employed on student transcripts. Grading requirements and components for individual classes are itemized on class syllabi.

Appeal of Final Course Grades The student’s appeal must present facts showing that by the preponderance of the evidence that the course grade was based on:

1. the students’ race, color, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender, age, creed; or

2. some other arbitrary or impermissible reason unrelated to the faculty member’s exercise of their professional judgment in the evaluation of the student’s academic or artistic performance; or

3. different standards and procedures than those the faculty member established in the course syllabus or in other written or oral measures directed to the class as a whole; or

4. a clear and material mistake in calculating or recording grades.

Allegations that sexual harassment was the reason a final course grade was impermissibly or arbitrarily assigned by the faculty member must be addressed according to procedures set forth in the UNCSA Bias-Related Sexual Harassment Policy rather than from the following procedures.

That the student simply disagrees with the assigned grade does not constitute a basis for a review.

CAUTION: Falsification or fabrication of information by the student in support of a final course grade appeal may cause the student to be subject to disciplinary action under the Student Code of Conduct.

Procedures

1. When a student receives a final grade for which the student believes an appeal is justified, the student shall discuss the contested grounds (see four factors above) with the instructor within twenty calendar days.

2. The instructor must inform the student of the instructor’s final decision (in light of the information the student presents) within 10 calendar days of receiving the information.

3. The student may file a written appeal of the instructor’s decision (no more than 10 calendar days after the instructor sends the decision to the student) with the dean, presenting evidence of one or more of the above grounds for appeal.

4. The dean will inform the student of the final decision within 30 calendar days of receiving the student’s appeal.

11


ATTENDANCE POLICY & ABSENCE REQUESTS Attendance Policy for Music Courses

Students are expected to attend all classes, rehearsals, and performances, arrive on time, and be prepared to participate fully. It is the student’s responsibility to contact their teacher immediately if they are unable to attend. Students should refer to class syllabi for specific class attendance requirements and grading policies. Students who miss class frequently should be prepared to receive a low or failing grade. Students will not be withdrawn from music courses because of failure to attend.

Absence Requests (Planned) Absence requests to miss music activities must be submitted to the Associate Dean in advance of the absence. High school students who anticipate absence from class or rehearsal are required to submit both a completed “Request To Be Excused from Music Classes” form and a letter from their parent/guardian explaining the reason for the requested absence. This letter must also provide the dates and times of the student’s departure and return. These materials must be submitted directly to the School of Music at least one (1) week before the absence. Requests submitted after this deadline might not be accepted and the absence(s) then counted as unexcused. (The form “Request for Permission To Be Excused from Music Classes” is available in the School of Music office.) N.B: Students will not be excused from dress rehearsals and concerts to attend auditions or other external professional engagements. Students will not be excused from classes (either Academic or Music) or rehearsals to make audition recordings or to engage in Applause jobs.

PROBATION, INVITATION TO RETURN & RE-ADMISSION Probation and Program Continuation

Students are expected to demonstrate substantial growth toward artistic excellence and academic responsibility. A student may be placed on probation if they make insufficient progress at either the midterm of a semester or the end of a semester, acquire excessive absences in one or more courses, or repeatedly violate the Student Code of Conduct or the policy on Academic Integrity. Insufficient progress in arts courses is generally defined as earning a grade of C or lower; insufficient progress in academic courses is generally defined as earning two or more grades of D or one grade of F. However, as other factors may need to be considered, including overall progress, attendance, and conduct, students may also be placed on probation at the discretion of the appropriate Dean or program director. Students placed on probation will receive a letter detailing the reasons and expectations for their probationary period(s). Should a student fail to meet the expectations of the probation, the student may be withdrawn from UNCSA or barred from returning to UNCSA the following academic year.

Invitation to Return All students in all arts programs must be invited to continue in their programs periodically. Students who, in the judgment of the faculty, fail to demonstrate

12


sufficient progress toward professional standards in the arts will not be invited to return.

Appealing a Decision Not To Be Invited To Return Under the following conditions, students at UNCSA have the right to appeal the decision not to be invited to return. To submit an appeal, the student must present compelling evidence that one or more of the following conditions occurred:

1. The policy and procedures for such decisions were not followed. 2. The decision was based upon arbitrary or personal reasons unrelated to

faculty members’ exercise of professional judgment in the evaluation of academic/artistic performance of the student.

3. The decision was based upon discrimination of harassment regarding gender, race, color, religion, national origin, disability or sexual orientation.

4. There was a recent material or substantive change of circumstances that resulted in a change in the student’s performance.

Procedures

1. Upon receipt of official notice that a student is not going to be invited to return, the student has 10 calendar days to file a written notice of appeal clearly stating the grounds for the appeal. The appeal is to be signed by the student and delivered to the relevant dean.

2. The dean has 30 calendar days to respond to the appeal in writing. 3. If the student is not satisfied with the outcome of the appeal to the dean, the

student may, within 10 calendar days of the date of the written decision, submit final notice of appeal to the dean requesting that the original appeal and its record be forwarded to the Provost or their designee.

4. The Provost or designee will review the appeal to ensure that proper procedure was followed and respond with a final institutional decision within 10 calendar days of receipt of the appeal.

Re-Admission Students who have terminated their enrollment at UNCSA for any reason, including failure to be invited to continue in a program, must apply for readmission prior to being allowed to reenroll. Such students must meet admission standards outlined for all entering students. A student whose enrollment has been interrupted for two years or more will, upon reentry, be responsible for the program requirements outlined in the Bulletin in effect at the time of reentry.

PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES Guidelines for Student Recitals

1. High school student recitals will take place in either Crawford Hall or Hood Recital Hall. A student wishing to schedule a recital should consult with the Assistant Director of Campus Performance Facilities for available dates. The student must then submit a completed Recital Request Form to the School of Music Secretary/Receptionist at least four (4) weeks prior to the requested recital date. The student will receive a confirmation via e-mail from the Assistant Director of Campus Performance Facilities once the Recital

13


Request Form is processed. All reservations will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis.

2. Any student wishing to change a confirmed recital or dress rehearsal date or time may do so up to four (4) weeks before the recital. The student must submit a completed Recital Request Form with the new dates and times to the School of Music Secretary/Receptionist. Any requested changes that conflict with the hall’s schedule will necessitate the relocation of the student’s recital to a different hall. The student will receive a confirmation via e-mail from the Assistant Director of Campus Performance Facilities once the new Recital Request Form is processed.

3. The School of Music does not provide programs for non-required student recitals; therefore, high school students need to print their own programs. At least one week before the performance, a final draft of the program must be submitted to the Music Office for approval before printing.

Hall Reservations All reservations and scheduling of Watson Chamber Music Hall, Crawford Hall and Rodney Hood Recital Hall are managed by the Assistant Director of Campus Performance Facilities. The halls’ schedules may be viewed at the http://cpf.uncsa.edu/studentrecitals.html website. Only one reservation for a recording session may be held at any one time. Hall reservations that will not be used should be reported to the Assistant Director of Campus Performance Facilities immediately. Rehearsal time allotment is as follows:

Instrument and composition student recitals – 3 hours Voice student recitals – 2 hours Recital hearings – 1 hour Performance Hour & Master Class Preparation – 1 hour Organ student practice in Crawford Hall – 2 hours weekly Recording sessions – 3 hours, including setup & breakdown (no more than a total of 9 hours of recording time may be scheduled per semester)

Concerto Competition

The School of Music holds two concerto competitions each year. The Fall Semester competition is open to all students who will be graduating at the end of the subsequent Spring Semester; the Spring Semester competition is open to all students who will be continuing as matriculating students the following year. The winner(s) from each competition will perform with either the UNCSA Orchestra or the UNCSA Wind Ensemble during the semester following the competition. The competition consists of preliminary and final rounds. According to regulations established by the faculty, each department chooses students for the finals within the following limits:

WOODWINDS, STRINGS, PIANO, VOICE 3 STUDENTS EACH BRASS, GUITAR 2 STUDENTS EACH HARP, ORGAN, PERCUSSION 1 STUDENT EACH

http://cpf.uncsa.edu/studentrecitals.html

14


Guidelines for participation:

A student must submit a Concerto Competition Request Form by the deadline set by the Dean of Music and signed by the major teacher, the conductor of the relevant ensemble, and the accompanist. This form also contains information about total duration and complete instrumentation. Forms are available at the front desk of the Music Office.

A student will be limited to concerto appearances with a UNCSA ensemble once as a high school student and once as a college student.

The whole concerto must be memorized. A student who wishes to audition for the concerto competition should not be on Probation and should otherwise be in good standing. The Dean of the School of Music, in consultation with the faculty, reserves the right to deny any student participation in the Concerto Competition at any time if the student is not meeting the standards of the school.

Off-Campus Performances Non-school related performances scheduled by individual students may not conflict with the student’s UNCSA responsibilities. As with any planned absence, students must complete an Absence Request Form and obtain the necessary signatures before submitting it to the School of Music office (see Absence Requests).

Accompanist Guidelines A team of pianists supports individual performance instruction at the UNCSA School of Music. The team is made up of professional staff pianists, freelance pianists, masters students enrolled in the graduate program in collaborative piano, and piano students in the collaborative skills class offered for piano majors. 1. Accompanying staff assignments are made to each instrumental studio, and

to the voice area, by the Director of the Collaborative Piano Program. Individual studio faculty assign students to an accompanist based on this allotment of hours.

2. Student accompanists, including graduate students in the collaborative piano program, may be available and are assigned by the Director of the Collaborative Piano Program. Student partners are expected to attend their pianists’ classes when requested.

3. Repertoire information, and rehearsal/performance plans, should be communicated as soon as possible and with the following amounts of lead time:

Recitals: 6 weeks Performance Hour, juries, and concerto competition: 3 weeks Master classes with guest artists: 2 weeks Lessons and studio master classes: 1 week

4. If a student needs to cancel or change a meeting time, the accompanist should be given a minimum of 72 hours notice; otherwise, the student will have lost the allotted time. If a student needs to change repertoire, 72 hours

15


notice is requested. Changes due to illness will be handled on an individual basis.

For complete information, please refer to the Piano Support Handbook for the current academic year.

RECORDING SERVICES [Recording Services information is being revised. This section will be updated once the revised information is available.]

SCHOLARSHIP ASSISTANCE Scholarship Awards

Merit scholarships are awarded each spring for the following academic year. Merit scholarships typically range in amounts from $500 to $3,000. Merit awards are based primarily on faculty recommendations, arts and academic GPAs, and records of good conduct. Scholarships are awarded annually and are not automatically renewable. Students on Probation or under Warning jeopardize current or future merit scholarship awards. Questions concerning merit scholarships awarded by the School of Music should be directed to Dr. Timothy Olsen, Coordinator of Scholarship Resources.

PLEASE NOTE: When making copies of materials (music, CDs, DVDs, etc.) at locations available for student use, the copyright law of the Unites States prohibits the photocopy or reproduction of materials “used for any purposes other than private study, scholarship or research.” If a user makes a request for, or later uses a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of “fair use,” that user may be liable for copyright infringement.

Key Sign-Out Policy

Students are permitted to sign out keys in order to gain access to specific School of Music facilities and equipment. Typically, keys are signed out for one of three durations: the full academic year, one specific semester, or a single day. Full Academic Year Sign-Out

Keys to the piano practice rooms, double bass practice rooms, and large instrument storage rooms are available to students in the School of Music who are enrolled in an appropriate course of study. In addition, keys to the large rehearsal halls (SMC Rooms 167 and 168) are available to those students who have been appointed as Ensemble Managers. All keys are due by 12:00 Noon on Thursday, 11 May.

Specific Semester Sign-Out

With approval from the chamber music coach, keys to classrooms are available to students registered in chamber music who desire a large space in which to rehearse. Fall Semester: All keys are due by 12:00 Noon on Friday, 2 December. Spring Semester: All keys are due by 12:00 Noon on Thursday, 11 May.

Single Day Sign-Out

Keys for one-day access to a variety of facilities are available to students. All keys signed out on a daily basis are due back to the Music Office by 4:00 P.M. daily, or 10:00 A.M. if checked out overnight.

No deposit is required to obtain any of these keys. However, a form must be completed and signed by each student for the key(s) desired. Students who lose keys or fail to return keys by the specified deadlines will have holds placed on their student records until such time as a $50.00 lost key/re-keying fee is paid. Students who have holds on their records are unable to register for future

semesters, are unable to obtain transcripts, and do not receive their diplomas/degrees. Any student who withdraws from the UNCSA School of Music must return all keys to the School of Music office no later than the last day the student is on-campus.

Practice Rooms (General Use) Practice rooms for general use are located on the ground level of Gray Building. The following serve as basic guides for the use of these shared spaces:

Food and drink (except water) are not permitted in any practice or rehearsal space.

Any practice room left vacant for more than ten (10) minutes will be considered available, even if someone’s personal belongings have been left in the room.

A student is not permitted to “move in” to a practice room, either leaving their belongings for extended periods during the day or overnight.

Instruments and other materials left unattended may be placed into storage for safe keeping by the School of Music staff. Students should contact the Music Office during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, to retrieve belongings.

For security reasons, windows in practice rooms must remain uncovered. Campus Police reserves the right to enter any practice room with covered windows.

Both for security and to safeguard the practice facilities, do not prop open a practice room door that is protected with One Card access.

Students who habitually violate these basic rules might face disciplinary action, including loss of privilege to use the practice facilities.

Piano Practice Rooms (Piano Majors)

Piano practice rooms are for matriculating piano majors only. All non-majors wishing to use piano practice rooms must be engaged in secondary study with a major piano teacher and have that teacher’s recommendation. The Music Office will approve requests as space is available. Refer to the Key Sign-Out Policy given above for details about obtaining a key to a piano practice room.

Locker Sign-Out Policy Metal lockers are located on the first floor of the Gray Building and will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis. There are “single” and “double” lockers. The larger “double” lockers are reserved specifically for horns, saxophones, trombones, and violas. In order to use a locker, the student chooses the one they would like to have for the year, places their personal combination lock on it, and then comes to the Music Office to register it, providing both the locker number and the combination of the lock being used. It is extremely important that the student completes the registration process as there must be a record of who is using which locker.

18


Lockers may not be used for personal storage over the summer months. All locks must be removed and lockers completely emptied of all personal items by the end of the school year. All locks found on lockers after the end of the school year will be cut off and any items found will be discarded.

Large Instrument Storage Lockers Storage rooms for large instruments are available on the first floor of the Gray Building. These storage rooms are intended specifically for celli, double basses, guitars, tubas/euphoniums, and baritone saxophones. All large instrument storage rooms will be assigned by the Music Office. Please be advised that multiple students may be assigned to each of these storage rooms. Refer to the Key Sign-Out Policy given above for details about obtaining a key to a large instrument storage room.

Reed-Making Tools Tools for the making of oboe and bassoon reeds are available to students registered in those majors. These tools are located in rooms associated with the oboe and bassoon studios, respectively, and they are not to be removed from these locations. Wind students are permitted to transport their own personal tools (e.g., shaping knives) between the School of Music Complex Building, Gray Building, and their car if they live off-campus. When not in use on campus, these tools must be stored in one of the lockers available to School of Music students (see “Locker Sign-Out Policy” above). Under no circumstance are personal tools to be used in any general public area (e.g., the Student Commons or Daniels Plaza). In addition, personal tools may never be taken to, used in, or stored at any on-campus residence facility, even if a student lives in that facility.

Piano Maintenance Please report all problems with pianos to Mr. John Chapman, the School’s Piano Technician. Do not attempt to “fix” a piano yourself. The Piano Technician should be given ample notification for any repair work and/or necessary tuning prior to any scheduled performance. Notes for Mr. Chapman may be left either in the Music Office or outside his workshop, GB 133.

Harpsichord Use The harpsichord must be reserved at least three (3) weeks before an intended concert date. If it needs to be moved, prior approval of the Dean must be obtained and the move coordinated by Mr. John Chapman, the School’s Piano Technician.

School of Music Instrument Loans The School of Music owns instruments that may be borrowed. Instruments will be loaned only to matriculating students and only with the permission of the major teacher.

19


In accordance with North Carolina state law, School of Music instruments are not to be used for “work-for-pay” engagements. This means that School of Music instruments ARE NOT to be used for outside employment. The student is responsible for returning the instrument in the same condition as it was loaned. Any damage must be reported to the Music Office immediately. Instruments are loaned for limited periods of time. An instrument loaned for a particular School of Music performance must be returned to the Music Office immediately after the performance for which it was loaned; an instrument loaned for on-going studio work must be returned to the Music Office by 12:00 Noon on Friday, 16 December (for a Fall Semester loan) or by 12:00 Noon on Thursday, 11 May (for a Spring Semester loan). Any student who withdraws from the UNCSA School of Music must return all instruments to the School of Music Office no later than the last day the student is on campus. Any student who loses an instrument or fails to return it by the appropriate deadline will have a hold placed on their student record. Such holds prohibit students from registering for classes, obtaining transcripts, or receiving diplomas/degrees. To remove the hold, the student must replace or return the instrument and pay a $50 fine. See the School of Music Secretary/Receptionist in the Music Office for instructions on the proper procedure for signing out a School-owned instrument.

Lost or Damaged Music Music that is issued to the student for use in orchestra, chamber music, cantata singers, jazz ensemble, and other performance opportunities must be cared for in a professional and careful manner. Essential music notations are to be done lightly and only in pencil. Any other marking or drawing, heavy or dark pencil notation, or any ink notation is considered defacement of the music. Defacement also includes tearing or any destructive activity that would render the music unusable. Students must return their music to the music librarian on time and in good condition. If the music is lost, the charge to the student will be $25.00. If the music is defaced, the charge to the student will be $25.00. If the replacement cost charged to the School of Music is greater than $25.00, the student is then liable for the greater amount and will be required to reimburse the School accordingly.

FIRE SAFETY Fire drills will be conducted during the school year and it is mandatory that each drill be treated with the seriousness of a life threatening situation. It is required for all persons to evacuate buildings immediately when a fire alarm is sounded.
