Each recital must include at least sixty minutes of music, one portion of which may include a collaborative ensemble, and must show a range and variety of historical styles (at least one piece must be from the twentieth century). At least one major work on the program must be memorized. This is a graded recital in which a grade of B or better must be earned for credit.
Guitarists and harpists may, in consultation with their program advisor and studio teacher, fulfill the one-credit ensemble requirement by enrolling in other appropriate ensembles.
