Schedule Your Recital

Recital Fee

All students giving a recital are assessed a fee: $50 for a solo recital and $30 for a shared/joint recital. Payment details will be included in the Final Recital Form.

To Schedule Your Recital

First, communicate with your collaborative pianist (if applicable) and applied teacher and select three (3) potential Student Recital dates/times. Failure to secure proper permissions from collaborative pianists and/or applied faculty regarding dates may result in forfeiture of you date(s) and placed at the bottom of the queue for scheduling. 

Next, view current Event Schedule to pick three possible recital dates and times. If there is an event scheduled here, do not use that date/time as one of your three options – pick others. As a reminder, there may be events in the recital hall that will not be on this calendar.

Step 1: Complete the Student Recital Request Form. You will receive a confirmation of date/time based on priority scheduling, requests and availability. In the event your collaborative pianist (if applicable) or applied faculty indicate you did not clear the assigned date, you may forfeit your date(s) and placed at the bottom of the queue for scheduling.

No recital dates will be arranged without the submission of the Student Recital Request Form, without approval from both the applied professor and/or the collaborative pianist. The approval will be emailed directly to them at the submission of the recital request form. Please see instructions below.

Step 2: Schedule a recital hearing, to be completed at least 14 days prior to your scheduled recital date. The recital hall should be scheduled with Mr. McCrary in advance.

Complete the Student Hearing Form prior to your hearing. Without completion of this form, your applied teacher cannot approve or deny your hearing; therefore, you cannot move on in the recital process.

Step 3: After confirmation of a successful hearing, the link to the Final Recital Form will be emailed to the student. This form includes uploading proof of the recital fee payment (detailed in form), information on submitting your recital program, stage set up needs, and recital poster. This Final Recital Form and all required elements should be completed and submitted at least 10 days before your recital date.

Recital Programs

Templates

Students are responsible for making their own recital program, and School of Music Graduate Assistants will edit and push to the QR code, which will be posted outside of the recital hall and/or Memorial Auditorium.

To start your recital program process, first download the official School of Music Recital Template that aligns with your degree level.

Edit the template with your program information. Save, save, save! Proof-read and check for any issues.

When finished, upload as Word Docx (not a PDF) to the Needs Review Folder. This link will be included in the Final Recital Form.

Program Reminders

Programs must be submitted to the Needs Review Folder 3-5 days in advance of the recital date. If submitted the day of the recital, after 5 PM Monday-Friday, or on the weekends, programs will not be finalized. Please prepare ahead of time. As a note, the Graduate Assistants assigned to programs do not edit content errors, only grammar and format issues. Please ensure that you have checked this with your Applied Professor before submission to avoid errors.
