Non-seniors wishing to present a solo or shared recital will present a double jury (approximately 20 minutes of music from the proposed recital program) at the end of the semester preceding the anticipated recital. Jury faculty will evaluate the level of preparedness and quality of the jury performance. Solo concert length may not exceed one hour of music (75 minutes total), and shared recitals may not exceed 2.15 hours.

2. Evaluating faculty reserve the right to deny the student if he or she is inadequately prepared.
