APPLICATION TO THE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION & PROFESSIONAL STUDIES
for B.M.ED. VOCAL OR INSTRUMENTAL MAJORS
Students who wish to apply to the Teacher Education program should follow the guidelines listed below:
Admission to UCO does not automatically grant admission to the teacher education program.
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS SEEKING TO PURSUE THE TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM
MUST APPLY FOR ADMISSION TO TEACHER EDUCATION.
The application may be found on the Teacher Education Services website. http://www.uco.edu/ceps/tes/
The application is submitted to room 207 in the Education building.
Each teacher candidate must have the following completed to be accepted into the teacher education program.
a) 40 semester hours of college credit.
b) A grade of “C” or better in all major and professional teacher education courses completed at
UCO or other colleges or universities at the time of application.
c) An overall grade average of 2.75 or a 3.00 in the last 30 UCO semester hours.

f) PTE 3023: Field Experience I: Foundations of American Education with a grade of "C" or better.
During the Field Experience course, Foundations of American Education, the teacher candidate will receive a
packet of information that details their time in Teacher Education.
When the teacher candidate's application has been reviewed by the teacher education services office, a folder is
created and sent to the program coordinator or department chair of the teacher candidate's major. The folder
contains the teacher candidate’s application, along with a current transcript and any additional information
received with the application, an interview questionnaire and, if passed, the OGET scores.
The program coordinator from the department of the teacher candidate's major interviews the student. The
program coordinator will cover the interview questionnaire with the teacher candidate and address any
concerns the teacher candidate may have concerning their major’s program. Teacher candidates will be
notified approximately 2 weeks after the interview if they have received an accepted status or pending status
into the teacher education program. If a teacher candidate has received the pending status they will receive
information as to the deficiencies that must be completed for acceptance to the Teacher Education Program.
Teacher Candidates who transfer from another institution must meet the requirements established by the unit.
During the two weeks after the interview, the Admissions and Retention Committee of the Council on Teacher
Education reviews the qualifications of each teacher candidate seeking admission to teacher education. The
committee then recommends a Status I (approved), Status II (concurrent applicant), Status III (pending), or a
Status IV (candidate request to withdrawal). The recommendations are presented to the Council on Teacher
Education. A final decision is made by the Council.

locations on the board across the hall from the music office.
The Thursday Recital time is listed in the schedule of classes. NO CLASS SCHEDULE CONFLICTS
SHOULD OCCUR -- exceptions to the rule will be rare.
Recital attendance provides a weekly listening and performing experience for music majors, allowing students
to experience a variety of musical performances, styles, periods, instrumentation, etc. Student participation as
performer and/or listener is required for the development of accurate and critical performance and listening
skills. This course also provides undergraduate music majors with a performing venue that seeks to create a
learning experience that simulates actual professional experience. Students, both performers and audience
members, will learn appropriate standards of performance, concert etiquette, stage deportment and attire.

performances, i.e. Oklahoma City Philharmonic or the Canterbury Choral Society.
* All programs or ticket stubs must be signed by UCO faculty, and turned in within one week of the
performance for the student to receive credit. Your name and ID# must be on this program for you to
receive credit.
1)
Requests for exceptions to these regulations must be brought to the attention of the Director or
attendance recorder in MU133 at the beginning of each semester.

Transfer students must enroll in Recital Attendance all of the remaining semesters of their degree to
satisfy the above requirements. (6 semesters, including those transferred from another university).
Must retain a "P" grade.
STUDENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TURNING IN EACH PROGRAM FOR PERFORMANCES
ATTENDED.
TO PERFORM IN A THURSDAY RECITAL:
We encourage students to perform in Thursday Recitals as often as possible. This is a great way to get more
performance experience! Click here to find the Schedule for Thursday Recitals.
To sign up to perform in a recital, please fill out a Recital Reservation Request Form. If this is your first time
to sign up for Thursday Recital, ask your applied teacher for assistance.
Area Recital forms are to be submitted to the area coordinator. Ask your applied instructor for the current area
coordinator. Please turn completed General and/or Honors Recital forms into Ariel West in the main office.

APPLIED LESSONS
Applied lesson times are scheduled on an individual basis with the instructor. A certain number of applied
lesson credit hours for instrument or voice is required of all music majors. All students enrolling in applied
lessons must obtain permission from the instructor before enrolling*. A student must come to the Music
Office to have his/her enrollment form signed prior to enrolling, and, in some areas, fill out an "instructor
preference form." This must be done each semester, even for those students taking lessons from a specific
instructor on a continuing basis.
The first week of each semester, a meeting is held amongst the voice and keyboard faculty, and students are
assigned to an instructor for applied lessons. Instructor/student lists will be posted on the bulletin board across
from the Music Office at the end of the first week of class. Please check this list for your instructor
assignment. If you have been assigned an instructor, contact them in order to schedule a lesson time. IT IS
THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTACT THE INSTRUCTOR TO SET UP A TIME
FOR THE LESSON. FAILURE TO CONTACT THE INSTRUCTOR MAY RESULT IN THE
STUDENT BEING DROPPED FROM THE APPLIED LESSON.
IT IS THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO BE PRESENT FOR ALL APPLIED LESSONS
UNLESS EXCUSED BY THE INSTRUCTOR. FAILURE TO COMPLETE AT LEAST 80% OF
APPLIED LESSONS MAY RESULT IN A FAILING GRADE.
*Prior to enrolling in an applied lesson, it is a good idea to check with the instructor of your choice and discuss
your plans. In this way, the instructor knows you and your needs, etc., and this may give you a better chance
to be worked into his/her schedule.
JURIES
All music majors and minors, and others enrolled in applied (individual) instruction for instrument or voice,
are required to take a jury examination at the end of each semester.
Juries are held during finals week. Check with your applied instructor for dates and other specific information.
DEGREE RECITALS: Junior and Senior Recitals
Dr. Emily Butterfield, Recital Coordinator
(405) 974-5691
Music Majors are required to perform a degree recital as partial fulfillment of their undergraduate music
degree. In order to perform a degree recital, students, upon the advisement of their applied teacher, enroll in
the appropriate course of Junior Recital or Senior Recital. Students enrolled in this recital course are required
to attend a mandatory class session/meeting, which occurs at the beginning of each semester. Here, students
will receive additional information and learn about course requirements. Announcements of this mandatory
meeting will be made via emails to enrolled students and posted at the beginning of the semester throughout
the building. The instructor will administratively withdraw any students who do not attend this mandatory
class session/meeting. The School of Music website may also have further information.
Students who wish to perform a recital, but are not performing a degree recital should still contact both Dr.
Butterfield and the music office.
FINAL EXAM INFORMATION
For information about times and locations of final exams click here. For accurate information, be sure to click
“Final Exams” in the upper right of the screen, then scroll to the proper term (example: Fall 2014).

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION
CLEP tests are available in most general education subjects. For information, call Testing Services at ext.
2388 or send an email to testingservices@uco.edu. As a general rule, the School of Music does not offer credit
by examination. In rare cases, the School of Music may grant a waiver with approval from the Director of the
School of Music, the instructor, and the academic advisor.
For non-piano music majors/minors, piano credit may be earned by passing a CLEP test for each level of
piano. Call testing services to complete the necessary forms and pay the appropriate fee. Piano CLEP exams
are normally administered during final exam week.
PIANO PROFICIENCY EXAMS
Non-piano music majors/minors: All four levels of piano proficiency exams are administered each semester.
Students enrolled in class piano will take their exam as the final exam. Music majors/minors who are not
enrolled in class piano may take any of the required levels at the same time.
Piano majors/minors are required to take piano major proficiency exams two week before the final exams
week. Your applied piano teacher will provide more information.
ENROLLMENT AND ADVISEMENT
ENROLLMENT PROCESS
The following information is for returning students. Incoming freshman need to meet with Pam Platz during

Departmental Advisors
Every semester there will be a list posted in the student lounge assigning each student to one of the advisors
listed below. Your advisor will assist you in “staying on track” in your degree program.
AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH SEMESTER -- take time to make sure you are properly enrolled in the
correct courses. Meet with your School of Music faculty advisor.
(1) Consult the fee adjustment and refund policy and corresponding dates as printed in the Class
Schedule each semester before adjusting your class schedule.
(2) DO NOT WAIT until the semester is nearly over to become aware of changes you should have
made at the beginning. The "paper-chase" is time consuming and can be very frustrating.

undergraduate music majors is Pam Platz in the University Center, Room 121.

THE MIDI LAB AND OTHER TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES
The MIDI Lab is a twelve-station computer lab outfitted with software, instruments, hardware devices and
clerical supplies intended to aid specifically music students in completion of their research and coursework
assignments. The MIDI Lab is located in room 112 of the Music Building and is made available to all music
students generally during the late morning and early afternoon hours of each weekday contingent on what
monitoring staff are available and whether or not the space has been reserved for classes. A fluctuating
schedule of open hours is kept up-to-date and posted on the front door.
In addition to the MIDI Lab, there are three other technology resources music students should be aware of:
- Three of the practice rooms within the Music Building are Wenger “V-Rooms” which have some technology
incorporated in to them. Here, students can alter the sound of the acoustic space and enjoy a high degree of
sound isolation. Limited ability to record oneself is also available here.
- Located next to the Music Office is the Music Building Student Recording Studio: a small project studio
outfitted with one digital recording workstation, microphones and other peripherals. This space is reserved for
use primarily by students enrolled in Music Technology, and secondarily for students who have taken and
passed Music Technology.
- On the fourth floor of the Max Chambers Library there is a Multimedia Center that provides two
workstations and a variety of equipment to aid in digital music composition/manipulation. The software
available here is generally synonymous with the MIDI Lab and Jazz Lab offerings, but the Multimedia Center
is available a greater number of hours in the day.
TELEPHONE USAGE
Two telephones are available for student use in the Music Office and the MIDI Lab. These telephones are for
business purposes only. Please do not use the telephone in the Music Office unless you have an emergency as
it renders the staff unable to answer incoming calls. When using the telephone in the MIDI Lab please be
considerate of classmates who may be using the space to work.
Inform your family or anyone else who may need to notify you in case of an emergency, to call Student Affairs
at 974-2361, who will readily call up your current class schedule and promptly locate you with the message.
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
On occasion, a student experiences difficulties with a particular class. If this should occur, please follow the
guidelines below in finding a solution:
1) First, speak with your instructor. Often an instructor is not aware of your difficulty with a class or your
personal problems. A solution may be as simple as discussing your options with that instructor who may
have some suggestions, i.e., peer tutoring, counseling, etc., to resolve your problems.
2) Second, if you feel your instructor has not satisfactorily resolved your difficulty, you may make an
appointment with the Division Head of that area. The Division Head will act as a liaison with your
instructor and the Director, and will assist you in finding a solution.
3) Third, if you feel the Division Head has not satisfactorily resolved your difficulty, you may make an
appointment with the Director of the School of Music. We are dedicated to our students, and will do
everything we can to find a solution to the problem.
Remember, your instructor is the best person to start with should a problem arise. Don't wait too long into the
semester to speak with your instructor if you find you have a problem. The earlier your difficulties can be
addressed, the easier it will be to arrive at a solution.

persons interested in college events and news. Should you know of someone who is interested in being added

SCHOOL OF MUSIC SAFETY STATEMENT
The School of Music recognizes the importance of safety for all students and faculty. In addition to the
standard, and frequent, safety training offered by the University for all students and faculty, the School of
Music wishes to make all musicians cognizant of the potential dangers of their aural environment. Musicians
should always be aware of the sound level around them, both in performance/rehearsal settings as well as in all
general daily activities. Every member of the School of Music faculty will explain to students at the beginning
of each semester the possible consequences of loud sound environments, how to determine dangerous
situations and possible solutions.

GENERAL DRESS CODE FOR SCHOOL OF MUSIC PERFORMANCES*
PERFORMERS, STAGE HANDS, AND PAGE TURNERS
When you participate in a School of Music performance (performing, setting the stage, or turning pages), you
are representing yourself, the ensemble, the School of Music, and the University of Central Oklahoma. Dress
in a manner that projects professionalism and respect for yourself and the organizations that you represent.
Consider the following as you dress for a School of Music concert or recital:
- Practice good hygiene – be sure you’ve showered within the 24 hours before the performance, and brush your
teeth.
- Make sure your hair is clean and styled neatly, in a manner that keeps it out of your face.
- Choose clothing that fits well, not too big or too small for you.
- Choose clean clothes, and remove wrinkles by ironing, steaming, or dry-cleaning.
- Choose clothing that is not too revealing. The audience’s attention should be on your performance, not your
attire.
- Wear clean shoes that are in good condition.
- Jeans, sweatpants, sweatshirts (hoodies), gym clothing, t-shirts, shorts, tank tops, flip-flops, and athletic shoes
are not appropriate concert attire.
*Your ensemble director or coach may have specific dress code guidelines. Please refer to the syllabus for that
course, and consult with the director if you have questions about proper attire.

INSTRUMENT CHECKOUT PROCEDURES
A music student may check out a school-owned instrument for the techniques/methods courses in exchange
for his/her UCO I.D. The instrument must be returned after the class is finished.
Any student that wishes to check out an instrument for an entire semester, or for an extended period of time,
must obtain a signature by the relevant professor of that particular instrument and fill out a contract with the
Instrument Storage Manager. (Certain restrictions apply; please contact the Instrument Storage Manager for
inquiries).
If an instrument is left unattended in any room, the student will lose his/her instrument check out
privileges for 30 days. (Any additional violations may result in a loss of privileges for a longer period).*
*Instrument storage faculty/staff members have the authority to override policies if necessary depending on the
situation. Please see the Instrument Storage Managers, Mr. David Hanan – Winds or Dr. Michael Geib –
Strings, or any of the UCO faculty/staff for further details and questions regarding these policies.
LOCKER CHECKOUT PROCEDURE

up for a locker. Since locker space is limited, you may be asked to share a locker with another student.
Lockers are located in the student lounge and room 104.
Should you not require your locker for the spring semester, please let us know so the locker can be reassigned
to a new student.
If for any reason your locker will not open, please contact the faculty member that issued it to you for
assistance.
Brass, Woodwind, and Percussion department lockers are issued by Mr. Hanan, Room 225.
String department lockers are issued by Dr. Michael Geib, Room 118.
AUDIO RECORDING AND PRODUCTION SERVICES
Most School of Music performances, including student degree recitals, are audio recorded digitally by staff
and archived on compact disc in the Archives & Special Collections department of the Max Chambers Library
on the University of Central Oklahoma campus. These recordings are available to students for on-premise
listening. Additionally, principal performers of degree recitals can receive a compact disc copy of the finalized
recording which they can keep free-of-charge.
For students performing degree recitals, part of the paperwork submitted is the “Audio Recording and
Production Services Request Form.” This form will be provided with a packet of other pertinent materials
after enrollment in Junior or Senior Recital. For more information on this, refer to the previous section of this
handbook relating to Degree Recitals.
Students can also gain access to digital files of any recordings of ensembles they performed in. For more
