Student Recital Supplemental Information - School of Music

Music Student Recitals:

Degree recitals (senior recitals, masters recitals, and doctoral recitals) cost $150, which is charged as a special course fee (with your tuition bill) when you register for the 1-credit recital course. All other 60-minute recitals requiring a printed program or live-stream, such as junior recitals, cost $150, payable https://schoolofmusic-uofu.nbsstore.net/recitals. In addition, a refundable $25 deposit is required for all recitals, payable at https://schoolofmusic-uofu.nbsstore.net/recitals. There is no fee for student recitals of 30 minutes or less if they are scheduled by faculty members as part of a masterclass or studio class. Printed programs are not provided for these recitals except for Music Education group recitals.

If the recital is canceled or the date is changed after receipt of payment for any reason, the entire $25 deposit is forfeited. See Recital Rescheduling policy below.
Upon successful completion of the degree recital, students will be refunded the $25 deposit (see above) provided the facilities used are clean and undamaged and the program information was received 2 weeks prior to the recital date. Refunds will be mailed to you about 3 weeks after your recital.
Students are entitled to use the Ida Smith Clark Green Room or the Joyce T. Rice Green Room for degree recitals without charge. However, if the Green Room is not left in spotless condition afterward, the $25 refund will be forfeited as a cleaning charge. Food is not allowed in the Green Room. Water is the only drink allowed.

Recital Rescheduling Policy

There is a $175 scheduling fee that includes a $150 non-refundable rescheduling fee and a refundable $25 deposit. The recital rescheduling fee applies if you reschedule your recital to a different date than it was originally scheduled, or if you schedule a recital during a different semester than the semester for which you register for your recital. Exceptions will only be approved in emergency situations. Historically, granted exceptions specifically relate to medical or family emergencies. Failure to communicate important deadlines and recital-related logistics do not count as an exception. If you are a graduate student, please note that rescheduling a final graduate recital to a different semester requires enrollment in at least one (1) graduate credit hour, since Graduate School Policy requires graduate students to be enrolled in at least one (1) credit hour during the semester in which they complete their degree. International Students must be registered full-time and fulfill the enrollment requirements set forth by the International Student Office.

Recital Program Policy

Students are not permitted to design or print their own recital programs. Performing rights organizations (ASCAP, BMI) require all School of Music programs to be submitted in a standardized format. Program information for all concerts and recitals sponsored by the School of Music must be submitted to the Programs Coordinator at https://forms.gle/is2iA67gPkQWSgbS9 at least two (2) weeks prior to the recital date. If you do not submit your program two weeks in advance, you will forfeit your $25 refund. Please refer to Procedures for Printed Programs at Recital Program Guidelines.

Students must pick up their recital program prior to their recital during School of Music Office hours (Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM).

Piano Policy

Pianos for student recitals will be assigned by the Music Facilities Team based on each instrument’s scheduled use throughout the day and overall logistical considerations. The New York piano is typically reserved for piano performance majors’ degree recitals. Assignments may be adjusted at the discretion of the Music Facilities Team based on scheduling, maintenance, and other performance requirements.

Harpsichord Policy

The harpsichords can only be used in David P. Gardner Hall. We cannot move them to another location for recitals (i.e. Vocal Arts Center, Fine Arts West Recital Hall, etc.) If your recital requires a harpsichord, it must be scheduled in David P. Gardner Hall, no exceptions. The single-manual harpsichord is the only harpsichord to be used in Dumke Recital Hall. The Music Facilities Team must know a month in advance if you require a harpsichord. This gives enough time to arrange to have the harpsichord moved and tuned. Do not move harpsichords yourself. They are easily damaged.
