Recitals

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.

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.
