Recitals 1 – 4 may be presented in any order at any time during the DMA course of study. Decisions
regarding recital order are to be made at the discretion of the applied teacher, as guided by
recommendations of individual applied departments. Recital 5 may take place only after the completion of
four semesters of applied lessons and coursework.
Contemporary repertoire is to be included as frequently as possible. Repertoire performed throughout the
five recitals must include at least one piece meeting each of the following requirements (a minimum of 2
separate pieces must be presented to meet the 3 requirements):
1. Repertoire composed in the last 50 years
2. Repertoire composed by a living composer

Program notes are required for Recitals 1, 2, 3, and 5. Notes are to be written by the student as guided by
Writing About Music: A Style Sheet from the Editors of 19th Century Music, by D. Kern Holoman. They
must be submitted for review and approval by the teacher and department chairperson (or one other
department faculty member) as follows: for Recitals 1, 2 and 3, notes must be submitted three weeks in
advance of the recital permission. For Recital 5, notes must be submitted three weeks in advance of the
recital, with a resultant Pass/Fail.
