STUDENT RECITAL SCHEDULING POLICIES


The School of Music Recital Hall is used for a wide variety of events. Following the guidelines for scheduling rehearsals and recitals will avoid last-minute crises. Guidelines and forms may be obtained in the School of Music Office. All degree recitals must be tape-recorded. A non-refundable fee of $75.00 is charged to the student for all degree and non-degree recitals.

Some restrictions apply to student recital dates, times and locations.

1. Student recitals must occur in the School of Music Recital Hall unless approved by the administration.

2. Student recitals may not be scheduled on Saturday or Sunday, during the Concentrated Study Period, Final Exams, or on University holidays.

3. Recital Times: For undergraduate required recitals: Monday - Friday at 4:00 pm or 6:00 pm. For graduate required recitals: Monday - Friday at 6:00 pm or 8:00 pm - priority times (4:00 may also be used) Non-required recitals will receive last priority and will be scheduled during the 4:00 hour or earlier if necessary. Undergraduate recitals may not be scheduled at 8:00 pm without approval from the Associate Dean. Only extremely extenuating circumstances (such as the need for organ) will justify such approval.

4. Priority for scheduling recital requests is on a first-come first-served basis for required student recitals.

5. Recitals will have to take priority over Studio Classes scheduled in the Recital Hall, but every attempt will be made to avoid scheduling recitals on Tuesday while studio classes are meeting.

6. Dress rehearsals in the Recital Hall may be scheduled for 1.5 hours during the following weekday time-periods: 10:30 am-12:00 pm, 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm or 1:30 pm-3:00 pm.

PROCEDURES


1. Register for the appropriate course number and the correct number of hours. You may not reserve a recital date without proof of registration and fee payment. Submit a copy of your schedule and fee bill with your recital request.

2. Pick up a blank reservation form from the School of Music Office in 102 School of Music. Fill out the form completely and get required signatures (applied teacher and accompanist).

3. Check the dates of events on the School of Music Master Calendar and the Recital Hall Calendar on the School of Music website. Recital date requests should avoid any conflict with major ensemble and faculty performances.

4. Check the dates of events outside the School of Music such as the Baton Rouge Symphony or Acadiana Symphony.

5. Check dates with your accompanist, applied teacher and ensemble members. Their signatures are required.

6. Turn in the completed form with enrollment verification and fee bill to Kelly Eaglin the School of Music Office. E-mail confirmation of the recital date will be sent within a week of the request whenever possible.

7. After you receive confirmation of your recital date, follow this same process to schedule a dress rehearsal. You should also check the School of Music Web site to confirm that your recital has been scheduled. Dress rehearsals will be scheduled AFTER the performance date is set.

8. Failure to check the School of Music calendar may result in a delay in scheduling your recital due to conflicts.

9. Requests may be submitted to Kelly Eaglin as early as the date that scheduling begins for classes in the subsequent semester.

PROGRAMS


Submit materials for your recital programs no later than THREE weeks before the event to to musicpr@lsu.edu. This information should include YOUR NAME, date / time / place of your recital, your teacher’s name, your degree program, program order (including INTERMISSION), titles of works, composers and their dates, all movements, all personnel (including your accompanist), all diacritical marks for other languages, and any other appropriate information. Student recitals must NOT exceed 60 minutes, including intermission. Creation and printing of program notes is the responsibility of the student.

Students MUST use programs prepared by the School of Music. Programs are official University documents. In addition to serving as a program for the recital, these documents are stored in archives to provide permanent records of School of Music activities. It is important that they be uniform and professional in appearance.

Failure to provide all necessary information to the publicity office three weeks before your recital may result in your programs not being availablefor the recital.
