Recitals

• Scheduling

  Scheduling

  • All recitals require a Recital Request Form. This form must be submitted at least 30 days out from the requested recital date and must be submitted by the 4th week of classes. Recital requests submitted less than 4 weeks out will require approval from the Director of the School of Music.
  • For all Recital Requests that require approval from the Director of the School of Music:
    • Please send an email requesting approval to recitals@unco.edu
    • Please include an explanation for why you are requesting the director's approval and why your request is necessary.
  • Please fully review the form before submitting your request.
  • For Joint Student Recitals, each student must submit their own Recital Request Form.
  • Please check the Performance and Rehearsal Calendar for availability when choosing your recital date. Please keep in mind that this calendar is updated frequently and events are scheduled on a first come, first served basis. Submitting a recital request form DOES NOT guarantee you a recital date, time or venue until the Music Office has approved it and it has been placed on the Performance and Rehearsal Calendar.
  • No recitals will be held during clear week or final’s week without consent of the Director of the School of Music.
  • Please check with Ron Brooks in the Vault to discuss date and venue possibilities, as well as options for your dress rehearsal.

Room Reservations and Rentals

• Vault Hours

  Vault Hours

  The Vault is normally open from 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday. We cannot guarantee that we will actually be available during the hours posted because our duties frequently require that we be in another part of the building, somewhere else on campus, or away from campus. If we are not there when you come by, keep trying.

  Lockers are available for rental in a variety of sizes by following these instructions:

  1. Fill out and submit the online form.
  2. Pay the rental fee of $10 per semester in person at the Vault. (Cash only)
  3. Your locker will be assigned at that time and you will be given the combination.

   

  Online Locker Rental Form

  The locker can be renewed on the same contract for sequential semesters, but a new contract must be signed for each school year.

  At the end of each semester, any lockers that have not been renewed are either emptied of their contents (those contents are stored in the Vault to be picked up by the person who signed the locker contract) or the lock will be changed until the fee is paid for the new semester.

A late fee of $5 per day will be assessed and charged to your student account for each calendar day after the due date.

Contracts will not be extended beyond the Monday following Finals Week and late fees will be assessed. If an instrument is not returned to the Vault within 30 days of its due date, the student will be charged the full replacement cost of the instrument as stated in the contract.

• Online Room Request

  Online Room Request

  Rooms in Frasier Hall may be requested for student use by completing an online request form. Requests are processed in the order they are received, usually on the following business day. Submitting a request does not reserve the room; you will receive a confirmation email with the room reservation if we are able to fulfill your request. Requests for Campus Commons spaces should be sent to Brandon Ingold.

  Any classroom that is normally used for music classes may be requested. Rooms in the Music Library are reserved through the Library. Practice rooms may not be reserved. Milne Auditorium can only be used by the School of Music for recitals and dress rehearsals. We do not have access to Milne before 4:30pm on weekdays because it is disruptive to classes in Kepner.

Curricular Practical Training

Curricular Practical Training: UNC School of Music students routinely participate in paid and unpaid teaching and performance opportunities both on and off campus to develop as performers and educators during their degree programs. Although the expectation is not explicit in the catalog requirements, practical application and participation is an expected and necessary part of the curriculum for all School of Music students. Students are expected to work with their applied teacher and area faculty to evaluate the applicability of teaching or performance opportunities to their program of study.
