Comprehensive Exam Description - All candidates for the Master of Music degree are required to take a one-hour comprehensive examination in music literature and theory. A listening exam of l00 musical works of the standard literature from the Middle Ages through the 20th century is available to the student when admitted to the College. It is suggested that this examination be taken in the penultimate term of study. The list is intended as an aid to preparation for the examination.Comprehensive Exam Subject - The examination is in three parts: identification of specific selections from a list of 100 works, identification of a "mystery" selection, and score analysis.Comprehensive Exam Complete - Students should plan to take the examination in the penultimate semester of study.Comprehensive Exam Write - Members of the graduate music history and music theory department select the music scores and musical selections.Comprehensive Exam Grade - Two graduate faculty members grade the examination.Comprehensive Exam Pass - Students must pass all three sections. A score of 70% or better must be achieved in the identification section, and a "pass" or "weak pass" must be achieved in the "mystery" selection and the score analysis section.Comprehensive Exam Schedule - The examination is administered approximately ten times each year. Students notify the music graduate secretary no later than one week prior to the requested examination administration date. A list of examination dates is available at http://astro.ocis.temple.edu/~kreinber/graduate/dates.htmOther Culminating Events
Event Description - Performance majors present a public recital as the culminating event for the master's degree.Event Philosophy - Graduation recitals are typically one-hour in length, and are typically presented on-campus in either Rock Hall or Klein Recital Hall.
The student must show evidence through Temple University transcript records of having taken private lessons up to the time of the graduation recital. Students who wish to play a recital in the early fall should plan to register for and complete the final semester of lessons during the preceding summer months.
A recital approval jury must be performed to demonstrate the student’s ability to perform the degree recital successfully. Normally, this occurs at the preceding semester’s jury. If, by Departmental approval, this jury does not occur then, a jury must be scheduled at least four weeks prior to the recital. If the jury is not successfully completed by that time, the Instrumental Department reserves the right to cancel the recital date. Further details are available from the Department Chair.
Event Process - Graduation recitals are adjudicated by three full-time music faculty members.
