Please explain/justify the new proposal or change. 
This course was developed as a result of our accreditation review and a requirement for accreditation by
the National Association of Schools of Music. The N.A.S.M. Commission report and School of Music
response follows:
N.A.S.M. Commission Report and School of Music Response 4-27-12
4.
It is not clear how all students in the Bachelor of Music in Performance programs (Brass,
Percussion, Woodwinds) acquire orientation to and experience with the fundamentals of pedagogy (see
NASM Handbook 2010-2011, item IX.A.3.a.). The Optional Response indicates that new required
courses are being developed in woodwind pedagogy and brass pedagogy, and that the brass and
percussion areas offer pedagogy instruction through their master classes (see Optional Response, page
19). The response should explain how the music unit ensures that all studios consistently offer pedagogy
instruction and/or report on changes made in the degree requirements to cover the fundamentals of
pedagogy for all woodwind, brass, and percussion students.
N.A.S.M. Standards
Guidelines. Curricula to accomplish this purpose that meet the standards just indicated normally
adhere to the following structural guidelines: study in the major area of performance, including
ensemble participation, pedagogy courses, independent study, and recitals, should comprise 2535% of the total program;
IX.A
3. Essential Competencies, Experiences, and Opportunities (in addition to those stated for all
degree programs):
a. Comprehensive capabilities in the major performing medium including the ability to work
independently to prepare performances at the highest possible level; knowledge of applicable solo
and ensemble literature; and orientation to and experience with the fundamentals of pedagogy.
SCHOOL OF MUSIC RESPONSE:
All students in the Bachelor of Music in Instrumental Performance will be required to take a 2 credit class
in pedagogy*. Currently, string principals are required to take such a course. In September of 2012, a
course in woodwind, brass and percussion Pedagogy will be submitted for approval to the University
Curriculum Committee’s annual call for curriculum proposals. The woodwind pedagogy, brass and
percussion courses will cover teaching methods and will be taught faculty specialists in the areas of flute,
oboe, clarinet, bassoon or saxophone, trumpet, horn, low brass and percussion. These will be upperdivision courses and will discuss procedures and materials in individual and class instruction,
philosophies, repertoire and individual and group techniques used in the teaching of woodwinds and
brass/percussion. The course, typically taken in the senior year, will be part of approved upper-division
music requirements and will be prescribed in the Bachelor of Music degree program.
N.A.S.M. COMMISSION ACTION REPORT-July 3, 2012
The Commission requests a status report of the new pedagogy class that is to be added to the Bachelor of
Music in Performance Programs (Brass, Woodwind and Percussion). The report should include
documentation that this has been approved by the institutional internal curriculum procedures and revised
curricular charts that reflect the addition of this new course (see NASM Handbook 2011-2012, item
IX.A.3.a)
*This will not impact faculty workloads, as faculty have been offering this course as an independent
study or special topics course in the past as part of required upper-division music electives.
V Copies and Electronic Submission
Once approved, the original, a paper copy and an electronic file are submitted to the Faculty Senate
Office, UH 221 (camie.foos@mso.umt.edu).
VI Department Summary Required if several proposals are submitted. In a separate document
list program title and proposed change of all proposals.
