DEPARTMENTAL OVERVIEW
Music is one of Morningside's greatest traditions. The Department of Music continues a
tradition that began more than 100 years ago with the founding of the Morningside
Conservatory of Music. It has been a fully accredited member of the National Association of
Schools of Music since 1936. Today, extensive training and experience in music is offered to
students wishing to prepare for professional careers in performance and teaching, and to those
who simply value the importance of music in their lives.
The purpose of the Morningside College Music Department is to educate and prepare students
who intend to pursue a career in music, to provide opportunities for all students to cultivate a
life-long appreciation of music, to model and teach ethical leadership for musicians, and to
contribute to the cultural enrichment of the Morningside experience and the community.
The Music Department offers four degree programs:
1. The Bachelor of Arts Degree with a minor in Music. Students pursuing this degree
must complete 24 hours of music courses.
2. The Bachelor of Arts Degree with a major in Music provides a general concentration
in music with a variety of career options.
3. The Bachelor of Music Degree is pursued primarily by students aspiring to become
performing artists or who expect to earn their living by teaching performance.
4. The Bachelor of Music Education Degree enables students to meet requirements
which lead to licensure to teach K-12 music in Iowa.
Specific departmental objectives include the ability to:
1.
2.
3.

EPPLEY AUDITORIUM - MACCOLLIN CLASSROOM BUILDING
The Eugene C. Eppley Fine Arts Building provides one of the finest Music facilities in the
Midwest. The auditorium, which seats 1302 people, is noted for its acoustical qualities and the
majestic Sanford Memorial Organ is used for numerous musical performances throughout the
academic year. The building and grounds received an extensive 1.5 million dollar renovation in
the fall of 2013 and now boasts updated lighting, sound and interior details.
5
Building hours are Monday – Friday, 7:00 AM - 10:30 PM. Students who are currently enrolled
in applied lessons and/or ensembles may check out an electronic key (fob) to the building for
late practice and weekends. This is a privilege which is not to be abused. Note: Students who
neglect to return a fob by the end of the semester will be charged $25.00 on their student
account.
Master Calendar of Eppley Auditorium
The regulations for the use of Eppley Auditorium are designed to make maximum use of the
auditorium and to make certain that there are no scheduling conflicts. The master calendar for
the auditorium is kept in the Office of Central Scheduling. Entries on the calendar for recitals
and concerts may be made only through the Chair of the Department. Please schedule
rehearsal time through the Music Office. You may find the auditorium schedule in the office of
Visual and Performing Arts
Rehearsals
1. No group or individual has the authority to occupy the auditorium when another group or
individual has reserved the auditorium through the proper procedure. Please do not
request exceptions to this basic regulation.
2. Large group rehearsals need to be scheduled well in advance of concert dates. Such
rehearsals should be scheduled when the concert or other event is placed on the
calendar.
3. Faculty members or students giving recitals may reserve special rehearsal times in the
performance hall.
4. All faculty members should insist that each student performing in Eppley Auditorium
have a minimum of one rehearsal in the hall.
Scheduling Of Concerts
The calendar of events for each academic year is created during the spring semester of the
previous academic year. All concerts entered on the calendar will be announced automatically
in "Coming Events" notices, on the department website, etc. Removing cancelled concerts
from the calendar of events is the responsibility of the performer or the director of the
ensemble and must be done through the Music Office.
Electronic Music Lab
The electronic music lab is to be used only by students who are enrolled in courses requiring
lab time, or by special permission. The lab is protected by an electronic security system. The
lab will be unlocked from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on weekdays.
Additional Building Policies
1. The MacCollin Classroom building and Eppley Auditorium are designated as a smoke-free
environment.
2. Food and drink are not allowed in Eppley Auditorium, the practice rooms, or the electronic
music lab at any time. Please be aware of these requests, especially in light of renovations.
3. The practice rooms are considered a work area. Please be respectful of others’ work time.
6
Lockers
Band and orchestra music majors, minors, and ensemble participants are entitled to locker
space in the storage room adjacent to Room 100. Singers and pianists may be assigned
lockers, as available. Padlocks for the lockers are issued to the students in the music office for
a fee of $1.00, and are assigned to a specific locker number. The locks may be issued or
reissued for summer use with permission from the office. The use of private locks, or
switching locks among lockers, is not allowed. Please return your lock and clean out your
locker at the end of the school year. Unauthorized items found in lockers during the summer
may be given away.
Use of School-Owned Instruments
Students currently enrolled in applied lessons, ensembles, and/or methods classes may
borrow school-owned instruments. Wind/brass/percussion instruments are checked out and
returned through the Director of Bands. String instruments are checked out and returned
through the Director of the Orchestra. The student will be responsible for any damage to a
school-owned instrument beyond normal wear and tear. Instruments should be inspected
carefully at checkout time to avoid misunderstandings. All instruments must be cleaned and
checked in at the end of the semester or the end of the school year, depending on
course/ensemble requirements. They may be re-issued for summer use only with special
permission. Unauthorized use, or failure to return instruments at the appropriate time, will
result in additional cost to the student.
ADVISING AND DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Acceptance to the Major and Academic Advising
Admission to Morningside College does not guarantee admission into a music degree.
Students seeking admittance as music majors at Morningside College must complete a Music
Theory Diagnostic Exam and pass a performance audition.

Music Theory Diagnostic Exam: The exam is a placement test indicating whether the
student is prepared for college-level music theory. This exam is administered during the
First-Year Orientation session. Any student who does not achieve the required
minimum score on the Music Theory Diagnostic Exam will be advised to complete a
music fundamentals course in the fall semester.

Performance audition: The student’s applied lesson jury at the conclusion of the first
semester of applied study will serve as the performance audition. Students who have
successfully passed the performance audition will be allowed to declare a music major
through the Registrar’s Office. Students who do not pass the performance audition will
be considered pre-majors and must continue applied study at the 200-level in order to
re-audition for admission to the major at the conclusion of the next semester.
Students must pass a sophomore jury examination before they will be unconditionally
accepted as a music major. Students will not be allowed to register for 400-level applied music
7
courses until they have passed the sophomore jury examination. The sophomore jury includes
a performance, written and professionalism evaluations, and an oral interview. Specific
requirements for the sophomore jury, as well as all jury exams, are stated in the appropriate
sections of the Department of Music Handbook.
Students transferring to Morningside College as juniors must complete the Sophomore Jury
process in order to enroll in MUHL 401: Music History I or MUHL 402: Music History II and
applied lessons at the 400-level. Students transferring into Morningside College after having
begun their study of Music Theory and Ear Training at another college or university may
automatically transfer in courses comparable to MUTC 132 and 133: Music Theory and Ear
Training I and II. Students desiring to transfer in third and fourth semesters of Music Theory
and Ear Training must pass a music theory and ear training exam comparable to the final
exams of Morningside College courses MUTC 232 and 233: Music Theory and Ear Training III
and IV. Students who pass the placement test may be able to transfer in these theory credits
from their previous school. Otherwise, students will be placed into the appropriate semester of
Music Theory & Ear Training based upon the results of the placement test.
All first-year students are advised through the Krone Advising Center. Early in the spring
semester, first-year students who have passed the performance audition may declare a music
major in the registrar’s office. New music majors will be assigned to an advisor in the music
department (minors will be assigned a secondary advisor). The chair of the department will
notify the student of the advisor assignment.
Four-Year Academic Planners for each of the music majors can be found in the Appendix of
this handbook. Please note: students should consult the college catalog as the primary
source of information about academic regulations and degree requirements. This handbook
does not replace the college catalog, nor can it provide the student with all the information
necessary for completion of a music degree. If any discrepancy exists, students should comply
with the standards and requirements set forth in the Morningside College Catalog. It is
recommended that the combined resources of the college catalog, the Morningside Music
Department Handbook, and consultation with a music advisor be utilized for a comprehensive
understanding of the requirements of each program.
Keep this handbook for future reference. This handbook will also be on myside.
Ensemble Requirements
All music majors are required to participate in ensembles. Specific requirements vary
according to the degree program in which the student is enrolled.
Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts in Music program are required to complete a
minimum of 4 hours of ensemble credits. Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Music Education
degree students are required to complete a minimum of 8 hours of ensemble credits. Students
are required to be in an ensemble each semester in residence. Students will complete their
ensemble credits in the area of their principal instrument. Students who have completed the 8
ensemble credits required for these degrees may enroll in additional ensembles for zero credit.
Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance majors may use a maximum of 6 hours of MUEN
260/460: Collaborative Piano to help meet ensemble requirements.
8
Students enrolled as a Music Minor are required to complete a minimum of 4 hours of
ensembles.
Writing Proficiency
The department promotes writing skills, including cogent thought, clear expression, factual
content, appropriate style, and competence in mechanics. The department further requires
writing standards specific to the profession, including fluent use of musicians’ vocabulary and
familiarity with standard musical reference materials.
The music major passes the departmental writing proficiency by successfully completing the
following three steps:
1. Students will be introduced to researching and writing about music as part of MUHL
102: Introduction to Music. Short research papers will be assigned during the semester
with the particular purpose of learning to use scholarly sources to create original papers.
Other writing assignments will include reaction papers and journal style writing to relate
terms and concepts studied in class to actual musical performances.
2. The sophomore jury research paper (see Sophomore Juries for more details).
3. More extensive research projects for upper level students are required in MUHL 401 &
402: Music History I & II. Adherence to MLA style documentation practices is required.
The current edition of the MLA Handbook is the guide for documentation.
In addition, all juniors and seniors giving a recital are also required to write program notes for
all of the music performed.
NOTE: Students who are double majoring may elect to satisfy the college’s requirement for
passing a writing proficiency through either the music writing proficiency or through their other
major.
Piano Proficiency
Nearly every musical activity, whether in the classroom, rehearsal hall, studio, or on the
performance stage, involves the piano at some point. It is essential, therefore, that all
musicians possess a working knowledge of this invaluable tool. To ensure that each student
receives adequate keyboard training, all Morningside music majors are required to
successfully demonstrate adequate keyboard facility according to the standards established.
A four-semester class piano sequence is specifically designed to prepare students to complete
the proficiency exam on schedule, with various parts of the exam being administered each
semester. It is expected that all music majors will complete the piano proficiency by the time of
their Sophomore Jury. All music majors must register for either Class Piano or Private Piano
until they have passed Piano Proficiency. Passing all four piano classes with a grade of C- or
better will result in automatic passing of the piano proficiency requirements. The final steps in
completing the proficiency will be the performance of one solo work of appropriate difficulty
and an appropriate collaborative work. The exam committee for these two works will be made
up of the two principal piano instructors. Students entering the program with substantial
background in piano may request the proficiency exam at any time. Forms for the exam will be
kept on file in the piano studio. It is the student’s responsibility to keep track of their progress,
and to be sure exam forms are kept up to date.
Piano proficiency requirements
9
1. Be prepared to play all major and harmonic minor scales, hands together, for two
octaves. Tempo: Play in eighth notes with the quarter note equal to 80.
2. Be able to demonstrate the ability to play major, minor, diminished, augmented
and seventh chords beginning on any scale degree, in any inversion. Examples:
Play a second inversion subdominant chord in the key of F minor; play a
dominant seventh chord in the key of D-flat major; play a diminished chord
beginning on C; etc.
3. Sightreading: Read a simple one-line folk tune at sight, and accompany the tune
by realizing popular chord symbols with the left hand (F, C7, A, etc.).
4. Demonstrate the ability to play warm-up exercises suitable for use with a high
school choir.
5. Be able to play a piano reduction of a four-voice a cappella choral composition.
It is the student's responsibility to secure this piece from the Piano Proficiency
Committee not more than one week prior to the examination date. The piece
should be technically and musically ready for you to use in a choir rehearsal.
The student has the option of performing this piece at their Sophomore Jury, or
at a prearranged class piano meeting.
6. Play a piano solo. (This will be performed for at least three members of the music
faculty). The composition is to be of a difficulty level at least comparable to the
works found in level D of the Iowa Music Teachers Association syllabus (this
syllabus may be reviewed in the piano teaching studio). It is expected that this
work will be prepared during the semester of class or private lessons in which the
exam will take place. Advance approval of the piano instructor in writing is
required. The piece may be played from score.
7. Students must accompany a soloist or ensemble for the exam committee. The
accompaniment must be approved by the piano instructor.
***Course objectives may be found in the appendix***
Applied Music Instruction
Morningside College offers applied studies at three levels:
100-level
For non-majors; also for majors studying a secondary instrument; 1 credit;
weekly lessons are 30 minutes
200-level
For majors and advanced non-majors; 1-2 credits; weekly lessons are 50
minutes
400-level
For majors who have passed a Sophomore Jury performance; 1-2 credits;
weekly lessons are 50 minutes (Note: an advanced non-major may
petition the music faculty for permission to take a Sophomore Jury in
order to enroll in 400-level lessons.)
Lesson times will be assigned during the first week of classes and will be posted on applied
teachers’ bulletin boards. It is the student’s responsibility to check these locations for their
scheduled lesson time. Applied teachers may also contact their students about lesson times
10
by email. It is the student’s responsibility to check her/his college email at least once every 24
hours and respond to instructors’ emails promptly.
All changes of registration in applied lessons (e.g., studio assignment, number of credits, level
of study, etc.) must be completed within the first week of classes.
Morningside College awards credit for applied music, ensembles, laboratory courses,
repertory, and pedagogy courses following recommendations in the National Association of
Schools of Music handbook (Items III.A.2.b. and c.) For applied lessons: One credit hour is
awarded for 3 hours per week of practice, plus required weekly individual instruction. One
hundred level applied lessons earn one credit per 30 minute weekly lesson and appropriate
practice. Two hundred and four hundred level applied lessons earn 1-2 credits based on 50
minute lessons and appropriate practice (3 hours practice for 1 credit, 6 hours of practice for 2
credits). Students may choose the level of applied lesson credit. As a student reaches upper
level individual applied instruction, 2 credits are recommended. Students are expected to
attend weekly lessons and a weekly Wednesday seminar/masterclass as a part of their earned
credit in applied lessons. Further, in order to earn credit, students majoring or minoring in
music are expected to perform on at least one department General Student Recital (GSR) per
semester.
In the case of ensembles, students may choose zero credit or one credit per ensemble. When
awarding credit, Morningside treats these ensembles like lab courses awarding credit based
on NASM recommendations, one credit for three to four 50-minute rehearsals per week, or the
equivalent in larger blocks of time. Students are expected to participate in concert experiences,
tours and related performances of each ensemble as part of the credit for the ensemble.
In lecture-discussion courses, Morningside College awards credit based on four credit hours
for three periods of recitation (50 minutes) and 8 hours of preparation each week of the term.
Note: Morningside College assesses fees for applied music instruction. (Please see the
Morningside College Catalog for details.) A change in registration (e.g., from 1 credit to 2
credits) will affect the fee. No refunds are disbursed after the first week of the semester.
Please make sure your registration is accurate at the beginning of the semester.
Private Lesson Seminar
Weekly seminars are held for all private music students. At times, all private students may
meet together for a joint seminar. Most weeks, the voice students, piano students, string
students, and wind and percussion students will hold their own seminars. All seminars will
occur on Wednesdays from 12:45-1:35. Room assignments will be posted.
Seminars are important as a place where students can informally demonstrate progress to
each other and address issues common to each other as musicians and performers.
Semester Juries
Each student enrolled in applied music must take a jury examination at the end of each
semester. The jury is a way for students to demonstrate the skills they have learned and/or
worked on throughout the semester. Jury panels will consist of selected faculty members.
11
Transfer students, applying as music majors, are required to pass a jury examination prior to
acceptance to any degree program.
All music juries will be scheduled during final exam week. Students will sign up for a
performance jury time (approximately 10 minutes for students in 200- and 400-level lessons, 5
minutes for students in 100-level lessons). A mid-term technique jury (see your applied music
course syllabus) may also be scheduled at a separate time. In this brief jury, required technical
and scale assignments for the semester will be heard by at least one faculty member.
Recital Attendance Requirement
The department strongly believes in the educational value of attending performances other
than one’s own. Attending a variety of other musical performances increases a musician’s
repertoire, teaches them about other literature available for performance, and improves the
ability both to perform and critically listen to music. All music majors must complete 6
semesters of MUSC102/302 (zero credits). All music minors must complete 4 semesters of
MUSC102/302 (zero credits). This is a non-credit class requirement (Pass/Fail). Not only is
this requirement important for growth as a musician, it also promotes support amongst peers
and faculty for the enormous amount of time and energy that goes into preparing for a
performance.
Guidelines For Credit
Music majors are required to attend a minimum of 75% of department-sponsored events each
semester. Music minors are required to attend a minimum of 50% of department-sponsored
events each semester.
Students may not count performances for which they are working backstage crew.
Repeat performances of a particular program will count as only one event…e.g., Mikado
performances.
An up-to-date list of events can be found on the Calendar of Events link on the Music
Department website and on the Music Department bulletin board. These events include
General Student Recitals, Junior and Senior recitals, studio recitals, ensemble concerts,
faculty recitals, and guest artist recitals.
In the case of unavoidable conflicts, the student must contact the professor IN ADVANCE in
order to make other arrangements.
Attendance Verification
An attendance sheet will be placed at the door at General Student Recitals (GSRs). It is the
student’s responsibility to sign the attendance sheet before the concert.
For all other events, each student must submit a signed program of the event to Deb Protexter
in the music office to validate attendance. This must be done on the first day of classes after
the event.
12
The professor of the course will submit Recital Attendance grades (Pass/Fail) as soon as the
college grading program is open at mid-term and at the end of each semester. Students
enrolled in Recital Attendance will receive a due date reminder from the professor prior to
submission of grades. Students who have not submitted the required programs prior to the
due date will not receive credit for the events in question.
Students who do not meet the minimum attendance requirements will not receive credit for
having taken the course. Students who do not pass the required number of semesters of
MUSC102/302 may not graduate on schedule.
Recital and Concert Etiquette: Performers and audience members are expected to
demonstrate appropriate recital etiquette at all performances. Performers will dress
appropriately – e.g., no jeans, shorts, flip-flops. Audience members will turn off all electronic
devices.
13
General Student Recital (GSRs)
Music majors and minors are expected to perform on a GSR once each semester in which
they are studying privately. Any deviation from this requirement must be approved by the
applied music professor, and, in extreme cases, by the department chair.
It is the student’s responsibility to submit a GSR performance request form through the music
department website (http://music.morningside.edu/pages/recitalapp.html). Professors are
prepared to instruct their students on gathering the proper information to be included on this
form. Completed forms will be forwarded to the applied teacher who will approve/not-approve
the student’s request to perform. The form must be submitted to the office one week prior to
the recital date in order to be included on the program. If recital time on the requested date
has already been filled, the secretary will inform the student immediately. In this case, the
student will need to choose another GSR date that is also acceptable to his/her applied music
professor.
Note: Please be considerate of your peers and professors by filling out the form completely
and accurately. Make sure you fill in every blank on the form (even if that means you have to
say “none” by some of the questions). You must include an accurate timing for your piece.
Making wild guesses as to the length of your performance leaves us with recitals that are
either too long or too brief.
GSR Etiquette: Performers and audience members are expected to demonstrate appropriate
recital etiquette at all GSRs. Performers will dress appropriately – e.g. no jeans, shorts, flipflops. Audience members will turn off all devices such as phones and computers.
Guidelines for Performance Requirements
1. SOPHOMORE BM students must schedule a 15 minute performance on a General
Student Recital or perform on at least two GSRs per semester.
2. JUNIOR BM students must schedule a half recital (30-45 minutes). (Typically, two
junior recital students will combine their programs to create one full recital.)
3. SENIOR BM students are required to schedule a full recital (60 minutes).
4. SENIOR BME students are required to schedule a half recital (30-45 minutes).
5. Guidelines for students performing a non-required junior or senior recital:
a. The student must be enrolled in applied lessons with a Morningside College
music faculty member.
b. The student will perform a recital pre-hearing as described below.
c. The student will pay the required recital fee as described below.
d. The student may choose to enroll in the Junior or Senior Recital course (MUAL
321 and MUAL 421). These students are required to write program notes for the
recital.
e. The student may choose not to enroll in the Junior or Senior Recital course. The
student’s applied teacher will decide whether the student will write program
notes.
14
Policies and Procedures for Junior and Senior Recitals
1. Recital Date Requests:
a. The calendar of events for each academic year is created during the spring
semester of the previous academic year.
b. Students and their applied teachers are required to submit two or three possible
recital dates to the Department Chair as early as possible in the spring semester.
The music faculty will choose from the student’s preferred dates and will notify
the teacher and student of the results.
c. A copy of the music calendar may be acquired in the Music Office to assist in
choosing a date.
2. Performances will not to be scheduled during jury week.
3. A scheduled recital (student or faculty) should be considered a firm commitment, and
should be met on the originally scheduled date. If a recital performance is scheduled
and subsequently cancelled, there will be no guarantee that the recital can be
rescheduled during the same semester.
4. Students preparing for a recital must successfully complete a pre-recital hearing with
his/her applied music professor, the department chair, and at least one other music
faculty member. The faculty will schedule the pre-hearing dates at a minimum of 3
weeks before the recital date. (Any student performing an on-campus recital is required
to perform a pre-recital hearing, regardless of degree program or venue of the recital.)
5. A student who has successfully completed a recital may not be required to take a jury in
the same semester. The applied music instructor, in consultation with the area applied
faculty, will decide this after the recital.
6. The program for any student recital, including program notes, must be completed before
the pre-recital hearing (see below for more complete information). (For students
performing non-degree recitals, inclusion of program notes will be at the discretion of
the applied teacher.)
7. The student's applied music professor is the official departmental advisor for printed
programs. He/she will help with the proper format and will proofread final copies.
Students should contact him/her for an appointment as soon as possible.
8. All recitals are recorded without charge and a master copy of the recording becomes
property of the Music Library. The student may request a duplicate of the master
recording by providing a blank CD to the Music Office staff.
9. The student is responsible for getting the printed programs from the music office prior to
the performance.
10. Submit an Eppley Technical Rider to Central Scheduling listing all staging requirements
for the program (drapes, chairs, stands, etc.). (See Department Chair for assistance.)
11. The student is responsible for any reception after the recital. (There is no charge for
kitchen facilities but it must be included on any scheduling request).
NOTE: See the recital checklist in the Appendix for more information.
Programs for Student Recitals (other than GSR)
Programs for department recitals will have a standardized format. It is the performer’s
responsibility to send the program to the department administrative assistant via e-mail, no
later than two weeks prior to the recital. The administrative assistant will then type and format
15
the program and have the necessary copies printed on music department standard program
paper. Faculty recitals, group recitals, and student recitals are subject to this requirement.
See Appendix for sample instrumental and vocal recital programs for appropriate formatting.
Fees for Junior and Senior Recitals
Students performing junior and senior recitals will be assessed a "recital fee." This fee will be
used to help defray the cost of the collaborative pianist, piano tunings, and any programs
produced through the college. The fees are as follows:
1. Full Recital............$50.00
2. Half Recital...........$25.00
3. Piano Students.....$15.00
Sophomore Juries
At the end of the fourth semester of music study, each music major must take a special
sophomore jury examination. Successful completion of the Sophomore Jury is necessary for
all music students to progress to upper division applied music study and for music education
majors to receive permission to apply for acceptance into the teacher education program. The
Sophomore Jury consists of four parts:
1. Performance
2. Research Paper
3. Interview
4. Evaluation of Professionalism
All music majors must pass all four components of the Sophomore Jury in order to graduate
with a music degree.
Students should consult the document entitled “Sophomore Jury Process” posted in Moodle in
the “Sophomore Jury” course for complete details about the Sophomore Jury.
COLLABORATIVE PIANISTS
All private music students are provided a collaborative pianist free of charge. Collaborative
pianists will rehearse regularly with private music students and perform with them on weekly
seminars, General Student Recitals, juries, and other on-campus solo performances.
Collaborative pianist assignments for instrumentalists are requested and granted through the
music office by submitting to the department administrative assistant a collaborative pianist
request card along with good, readable copies of the performer’s music. Collaborative pianist
assignments for singers are made through the voice faculty.
Note: Requests for collaborative pianists for junior and senior recitals must be made in a
timely manner to avoid having to change the recital date.
Students assigned to a staff collaborative pianist will sign up for rehearsals on a sign-up sheet
displayed on the collaborative pianists’ office door (MacCollin 216). If a student collaborative
pianist has been assigned, it will be the student's responsibility to arrange reasonable
16
rehearsal times with the pianist. The applied teacher may also request that you ask your
collaborative pianist to come to some of your private lessons.
Regulations Concerning Working With a Collaborative Pianist
After a collaborative pianist has been assigned and it is time to arrange for rehearsal time, the
following guidelines must be observed:
1. The collaborative pianist must have all music at least one week prior to the first
rehearsal.
2. When an accompaniment is necessary, no performance will be allowed if it has not first
been rehearsed. The collaborative pianist also has the right to refuse to rehearse if
music has not been submitted in a timely manner. This rule includes preparations for
juries and seminars.
3. Students must be on time for all rehearsals.
4. If a student cannot make a rehearsal, due to illness or an emergency, it is the student's
responsibility to notify the collaborative pianist in advance. It is acceptable to switch
times with another student, but only if the music has already been submitted.
MUSIC EDUCATION STUDENTS
Every student who plans to complete a program at Morningside College that leads to teacher
licensure must make a formal application to the Teacher Preparation Program. (Admittance to
Morningside College is NOT equated with admission to the Teacher Preparation Program.)

208 will have completed 20 hours of practicum in that course. Students who have not
already taken SPED 208 will have to complete a total of 20 hours of practicum in the
Music Education Seminar and Practicum course - 5 more than required for the class.)
3. A cumulative Morningside grade point average of at least 2.5
4. Basic skills proficiency as demonstrated by passing the Praxis I: Pre-Professional Skills

third semester of Music Education Seminar and Practicum and all education
courses with numbers above 300.
Continuance in the Teacher Preparation Program
Continuance in the Teacher Preparation Program is based upon meeting the criteria outlined in
the comprehensive performance-based assessment plan. (See Appendix for complete

All required education courses and all required courses leading towards licensure are treated
like any other course in a major or minor; the pass/fail option is not available and a grade of
“C-” or higher is required.
Student Teaching
Student teaching is usually done in the Sioux City Community School District and districts in
the immediate area. Application for student teaching takes place in the semester prior to the
student teaching experience. Prospective student teachers must have a cumulative grade
point average of 2.5 as well as 2.5 in special education and education courses. They must also
meet other criteria established by the Music and Education Departments. These include a
recommendation from the chair of the music department. Student teaching is scheduled for full
days for a minimum of 14 weeks – 7 weeks at the elementary level and 7 weeks at the
secondary level. Student teaching and EDUC 490 require a full-time commitment. It is
recommended that students not enroll in additional courses during the student teaching
semester and that work commitments and other activities be curtailed. Complete details
concerning admission to education and student teaching, including specific criteria for transfer
students and music education students, are included in the Teacher Preparation Handbook.
Appeal Process
Students may appeal academic program decisions or the decisions of a faculty member or an
academic department concerning their academic progress by submitting a written petition to
the Academic Standards Committee following the established college procedures.
