“Faculty of Fine Arts Music Studio Differential Fee Music Studio course instruction provides one-on-one course instruction for various instruments. Currently the Faculty of Fine Arts charges students enrolled in Music Studio courses a differential fee to cover the additional cost of private instruction as well as travel expenses for out-of town instructors. To ensure high quality instruction, compensation to instructors must keep competitive with rates charged in the City and surrounding communities. The proposed increases are to offset escalating costs. 2009-2010 fees document at http://www.uleth.ca/sites/default/files/2009-10%20Proposed%20Fees%20%26%20Rates_Dec%2010-08_0.pdf”

Students studying in the following areas are encouraged to include unaccompanied and chamber works in their repertoire each semester: brass, percussion, strings, voice, and woodwind. Masterclasses/Studio Classes Masterclasses are scheduled Monday and/or Wednesday, 2:00 – 3:50 in the Recital Hall (W-570). Studio performance classes may be scheduled Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, 2:00 – 3:50 pm in any classroom/studio. Please consult your studio course outline for details.

Special masterclass opportunities will be announced as they arise. Recital Hall Use Students are permitted to use the recital hall for studio studies under the following situations: lesson, rehearsal, dress rehearsal, and jury preparation. Students must be supervised by their studio instructor. Studio students may book rehearsal/lesson time in the Recital Hall 8:30 – 4:30, Monday – Friday, on a first-come-first-served basis. Time limits apply to recital dress rehearsals (see below), and during the week preceding juries (30 minutes maximum, once only).

Please see the Recital Hall Use document for regulations pertaining to recitals. Student Assessment/Grading Student assessment will be in accordance with the University of Lethbridge Academic Regulations stated in the University of Lethbridge Calendar. Studio instructors will clearly outline the evaluation procedure in your course syllabus. Instructors are only required to provide a final grade. Studio students may request an estimation of their level of performance by the eighth week of class. Please refer to the Calendar and your course syllabus for more details. Final grades for studio courses are determined by the following:

• Studio I – IV: Instructor 70%; Jury 30% (an average of 2 juror grades) • Studio V – VII: Instructor 60%; Jury/Recital 40% (same as above) • Studio VIII: Instructor 50%; Recital 50% (same as above)

Furthermore, after the semester grade is calculated, the successful completion of Masterclass Attendance and Concert Attendance is accounted. Each requirement is worth 4%; in other words, if one or both required components fail to be completed, the semester grade may be reduced by as much as 8%. Information on letter grades may be found here: http://www.uleth.ca/finearts/sites/finearts/files/docs/Grade%20Info%202013.pdf Jury Procedures Studio students must complete end-of-semester practical examinations (“jury”). Performance juries are normally scheduled during the final examination period in December and April. A sign-up sheet will be posted each semester in November and March.

Students must provide one complete copy of their musical scores to the members of the jury, accompanied by a completed copy of the Jury Repertoire Sheet. This sheet may be found here: http://www.uleth.ca/finearts/departments/music/resources. Composition Studio students must submit their semester portfolio to their instructor on the last day of class. The instructor will schedule an interview with the student and at least one other member of the teaching faculty in order to review and evaluated the student’s work.

Planning for Special Events for Singers 2016/2017 Plan for Breathing Workshop with David Wilson on September 24 ($750)

David Wilson is an Edmonton based conductor and singer who specializes in teaching yoga and breathing techniques. He has agreed to drive down to Lethbridge on September 24 for an afternoon workshop with Singers. The $750 covers his travel (driving to and from Edmonton) and his fee. He will stay that evening with my family. He is planning on doing an afternoon workshop for two hours with Singers September 24th. David is experienced working with singers, but also has skill in assisting efficient breathing and posture in musicians in general. It would be ideal to strategize a way to offer more students a way to work with David. He could run an additional session later on Saturday for more students for an additional fee ($250). It would be possible to open the later session to our students and conservatory students or community musicians if we charged a small fee to cover his additional time.
