COURSE OBJECTIVES
The following plan of study for studio flute is intended as a guide toward the development of minimal standards
in the music curriculum at the University of Mississippi. Since each level should indicate a growth that is built on
previously mastered levels, the prospective transfer student will be able to use this document to monitor their
progress toward being to the level expected upon entering Ole Miss.

Although a certain flexibility exists in the selection of appropriate solo literature between levels, there should be a
conscious effort to surpass the minimal standards concerning the other aspects listed. The expectations
represented are only the minimal amount of material that would be expected for a student to receive a letter grade
of C (a grade lower than C does not satisfy graduation requirements for the music major) and pass to the next
level. Graduate music majors must attain a grade of B or higher to proceed to the next level.

GRADING: (Scale: A=90-100; B=80-89; C=70-79; D=60-69)
Your semester grade is achieved by adding together the following:
60% of your grade (60 points) will be derived from individual lesson grades. Grades will be based on
attendance, punctuality, preparation, progress made between lessons, attitude, initiative, enthusiasm and
whether all necessary materials were brought to the lesson. A 1 credit hour lesson should result in
approximately 16 hours of instruction. Each one-hour lesson that is missed or in which there is
insufficient preparation will result in the reducing of the grade by 5 of the 60% daily lesson grade. As
with any other class, you are expected to obtain the necessary materials promptly. The normal
undergraduate workload for each semester is:
o 1 complete repertoire piece
o 6 etudes
o 4 exercises for the study of tone, articulation, and technique
Your weekly lesson grade will be based on the following elements:
PROMPTNESS: Be on time, warmed-up, & PREPARED for your lesson. When scheduling a lesson,
try to schedule so that you have time to warm-up and revitalize the music practiced the previous night.
PRACTICE: At least one hour per day of concentrated practice time is imperative for the music
education major. Three hours (daily) is necessary for the performance major. Since all assigned material
is designed to develop a complete musician, you should practice all assigned material every day. When
you enter the practice room, forget everything else. Practice purposefully, methodically, & meticulously.
Use a metronome, when applicable (scales, etudes, technical exercises), and listen to yourself as if
someone else (namely a teacher) were listening.
ATTENDANCE: Absences without a phone call (or some means of communication) are
unacceptable in most circumstances. If you must miss a lesson, please notify me as soon as
possible so that the lesson can be rescheduled. Absence from any lesson will be excused ONLY
for serious illness, family emergency, or other prescheduled Department of Music events only.
Every reasonable effort will be made to change or make up lessons, but lessons missed without
notification or cause will receive an F and will not be made up. Oversleeping is not a valid
excuse, and neither are fraternity/sorority duties.
20% of your grade will be based on your jury performance grade. All students will play a jury at the
end of the semester that will count 20% of the final grade. The jury performance is very important
because it offers the studio faculty members the opportunity to observe your progress as well as submit
constructive comments. A passing grade on the jury does not necessarily mean that you will be passed to
the next studio number. The student may be advised by the jury to repeat the current studio lesson
number if the level of performance has not increased adequately, or an inadequate amount of music was
mastered.
2
10% - Your midterm scale exam grade. All students (up to and including 321 level) perform a
midterm scale exam.
10% - Performance and attendance on Student Recital and/or Area Meetings.
o Your attendance is required at Student Recitals, Instrumental Area Meetings, woodwind guest
master classes, and recitals given by the woodwind faculty.
o All students (except FLUT 100) are required to perform at least once per semester. Students at
the 321 level and above are required to perform at least twice per semester, and are strongly
encouraged to do either a half or whole recital. 10% of your grade will be based on your
attendance at Area Meeting and woodwind ensemble performances. To receive 10 points
toward the final grade a student must attend 90% of the approved performances. Those
performances would include all formal recitals presented by the faculty woodwind quintet,
student woodwind quintets, and woodwind recitals. 8 points would be earned by attending 80%
of these performances, 7 points for 70%, etc. The failure to perform on Recital Hour or
Instrumental Area Meeting will result in the deduction of ten points from the final grade.

MATERIALS
Flute students are required to obtain a metronome and tuner during the first week of study. Students are required to
obtain all materials as quickly as possible. (Eble Music is the speediest and most reliable). Photocopied materials
are not acceptable or permitted in lessons as a permanent substitute for purchasing printed works.

ACCOMPANISTS
All students must work with an accompanist, unless performing music for solo flute. Contact Mr. Stacy Rodgers
(915-7027) or Ms. Adrienne Park (234-9573) to arrange for an accompanist. All students (with the exception of
students enrolled in FLUT 100, FLUT 121, and first-semester transfer students) will play on student recital and/or
area meeting and jury performances which usually involve accompanists. You are required to arrange for their
services at least three (3) weeks prior to the jury or performance date. Students who have not made arrangements
three (3) weeks prior to the performance will not be allowed to perform and will receive a failing grade for that
portion of the requirement. This will allow you to perform confidently and allow you to make music courteously
with an accompanist.

Regardless of the performance involved, any accompanist who is not adequately prepared will be immediately
excused from that lesson. *Any student who has not adequately rehearsed with their accompanist will be excused
from that lesson. All rehearsals and the level of preparation by the accompanist are the sole responsibility of the
individual flute student.* Please do not come to the lesson without having rehearsed at least twice with your
pianist. Use your lesson time wisely. Check with your accompanist to arrange workable times for rehearsals,
performances, and juries.

PERFORMING
With the exception of students enrolled in FLUT 100 students, each student registered for applied lessons will be
expected to perform at least once each semester on a (1:00 Wednesday) Wind-Percussion-String Area Recital or
on a (1:00 Wednesday) Student Recital.

All 341-level and above flute performance majors are required to prepare orchestral excerpts each semester. These
excerpts may be requested to be performed from memory. All performance majors are required to perform on at
least one complete concerto or solo work (for flute and orchestra or band) from memory on a solo recital before
graduation.

All students are strongly encouraged to play at least one half-recital per year. Performance majors must perform
one recital per year. While these requirements are not in the official departmental curriculum requirements, it is
assumed that as a professional flutist, you will be performing frequently and must be in command of a large body
of flute literature. In addition, all flute performance majors are expected to audition for all possible local and
regional competitions and auditions, especially the University of Mississippi Department of Music Concerto
Competition and the Flute Festival Mid-South competitions (as appropriate).

JURIES
Scale exam: There will be a graded midterm scale exam in which ALL students (321 level and below) will play
their scale and arpeggio requirements. See the "Scale and Arpeggio" requirements for FLUT 100-321 levels.

All students will play a final jury. Your jury performance is also very important, as this is the opportunity for
various faculty members to determine your progress and offer comments. It is important to note that is possible to
receive a passing grade from the jury as well as for the semester, but still be required (by the faculty jury) to
repeat the current applied lesson registration. IMPORTANT: If you fail the jury, it is likely that you will have to
repeat that level of lessons again. You can repeat the lesson level only once.

The jury performance is your final examination for applied lessons. It is scheduled during the week of final
exams. It consists of approximately ten minutes of music (a solo and etude or exercises) representative of your
work during the semester. We will typically select the jury repertoire near midterm, long before the jury date. Fill
out a jury sheet when they become available approximately 10 days prior to the jury. Bring it to me for approval
and signature.

PHYSICAL CONTACT
It is the policy of this flute studio that normal instruction in flute performance involves a certain amount of limited
and gender-neutral physical contact between the teacher and student when dealing with such subjects as breathing,
posture, finger/hand position, tension, musical performance techniques, etc. It is the responsibility of any student
who is in any way and at any time uncomfortable with this gender-neutral physical contact to immediately inform
the teacher of that discomfort and initiate a dialogue concerning physical contact.

You get out of your flute what you put into it. I want your lessons to be productive times where you can learn
how to be a great flute player and a well-rounded musician. That takes work, both inside and outside the studio.
If you are unclear or unhappy with the content or quality of your lessons, please let me know immediately. Each
of us is different and everyone responds in a different and unique way. Your success is very important to me.

Some people enter the world with greater gifts than others. Although we cannot create more talent than we have
been given, we can improve and refine the gifts we do have. This is known as practicing. You will achieve
greater success when you practice consistently and methodically, and I recommend the use of a practice journal.

ETHICAL STANDARD
I expect each one of you to take a leadership role in every class and ensemble, providing professional collegiality
and support for other students and teachers throughout the department, university, and community.
