ASSESSMENT PLAN
End-of-semester applied music juries for all students.
1999-2000 ASSESSMENT
1998-99 ASSESSMENT
The recital/jury assessment demonstrated growing consistency in the quality of students' performances.
1997-98 ASSESSMENT
Student work confirms that students have adequate preparation for their level, with individual variation based on both student and instructor. No changes in the private lesson format is indicated by this assessment.
1996-97 ASSESSMENT
After reviewing student work and comments, the Department has decided to delete scales and other rudimentary elements from the juries for instrumental students since this assessment is part of the lesson structure, and mastery is implicit in the performance of jury literature. Time constrains were also a part of this decision.
1995-96 ASSESSMENT
Since the quality of performance in the recitals continues to improve year each year, the Department is choosing more challenging and interesting literature for the juries.
1994-95 ASSESSMENT
The department recitals show more quality than the previous year. There is some indication that students would profit from more preparation at lower levels. Because of this, placement examinations are being used for advising.
1993-94 ASSESSMENT
Trends influencing both performers and observers include improvement in both areas over the past three to five years. It is felt by the music faculty that greater interest in recitals is a result of better and more interesting performances, indicative of the recent improvement in the level of talent displayed by students majoring in music.
