String students wishing to seek an undergraduate degree in performance from WSU must complete a sophomore proficiency jury, preferably at the end of their fourth semester of lessons with their primary applied professor. For this jury the student will sign up for a double time slot (24 minutes).
REPERTOIRE REQUIREMENTS
- A minimum of 30 minutes of music from three contrasting historical time periods
- At least one selection must be performed from memory
- Concerto movements must be performed from memory
- Unaccompanied Bach must be performed from memory
- Any work requiring a piano or other type of accompaniment must be performed with the appropriate accompaniment
- Students do not need to perform complete works, selected movements are fine
Upon completion of the double jury the string faculty will determine if the applicant is at an acceptable level to continue as a String Performance Major. The date and approval of the committee will be added to the students jury/recital record as an offical 'pass' for this jury by the primary applied professor. A student may apply more than once, by playing a double jury, for a performance degree. But must ultimately perform at a level deemed acceptable artistically and technically to continue pursuit of a performance degree.
