Recital and Concert Attendance (MUEP 219)
The objective of this course is to broaden and deepen students’ experience of music by attendance at live musical events.

Students enrolled in all Bachelor of Music (BMus) and Music Education degrees (BME) must enroll in Recital Concert Attendance (MUEP 219) every semester, for a total of eight (8) semesters (at 0 credit each). Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts in Music must enroll in MUEP 219 for every semester after their declaration of major. Students enrolled as Music Minors take MUEP 219 for four (4) semesters, or every semester until graduation if the minor is declared later than the first semester of the Junior year.

Course requirements are stated in the course syllabus. Students receive a course syllabus from the supervising professor directly through their personal email accounts at the beginning of each semester. The syllabus is also available in the Conservatory Office.

Students maintain a log of their concert attendance at the MUEP 219 Website. The web address is sent by email to each student who is registered for the course. Students are sometimes asked to comment upon the concerts they attend for the course.

Approved events include all student recitals, afternoon open recitals, Artist Series concerts, Faculty recitals, visiting artists concerts, and College ensembles. Students are also encouraged to attend major professional concerts off-campus (for example, Lyric Opera, Chicago Symphony, chamber and solo concerts, jazz concerts and world music events).

Students cannot count concerts or recitals in which they participate for the entire concert. However, if, for example, students are part of an open recital and listen to the remainder of the program, the concert will count.

Students who complete the concert attendance requirements will receive a Pass ("P" on the official transcript); students who do not complete the requirements will receive a Fail ("F" on the official transcript) which will require the repetition of the course.

Students are invited to inquire concerning questions they may have about the course by contacting the Conservatory Director of Academic Studies.
