What is a recital jury and when does it take place?
The recital jury is a short run-through of your recital in front of your instructor, plus 1-3 other faculty members, to ensure that you’re ready to give the recital. No single instructor can approve a recital. The jury should take place at least three weeks before your recital, so the date can be postponed if the committee feels you’re not ready.
Recital Jury Approval Form
This form (download at the link below under Related Files) requires the signatures of your instructor and your jury (1-3 other faculty members. For doctoral candidates, at least one member of the Graduate Faculty must be present at the recital jury and sign the form). It goes into your permanent file to serve as partial documentation of your recital. Email the signed form to your Advisor (Graduates: Sarah Garner; Undergraduates: Leann Martin) as a jpeg or PDF, or turn in the signed form to the Advising Office in Room 116. This form is due any time after your jury and prior to your recital.
Note: Please return the completed Recital Jury Approval Form to your Advisor in Music Room 116 THREE (3) WEEKS before your recital.
