Proposal | Bachelor of Music (B.M.) | Music to include an Area of Concentration in Instrumental Performance | | 7/31/2025 | | |
| Music to include an Area of Concentration in Instrumental Performance Program Description |
| The Bachelor of Music at Frostburg State University will contain three concentrations: <br>Instrumental Performance, Vocal Performance and Music Industry. These concentrations will replace the current Bachelor of Science (BS) sequences and concentrations in the same areas. <br>This proposal will be submitted with suspensions for the BS in Music Vocal Performance Concentration, Instrumental Performance Track and Music Industry Concentration. <br>The Department of Music is actively engaged in recruiting students from China which also aligns with this goal. Chinese institutions have indicated that a Bachelor of Music degree <br>would be highly desirable, resulting in higher international student enrollment. Include Program Learning Outcomes/Objectives <br> <br>1. Performance Ability on Major Instrument: this goal aligns with musical performance as part of the curriculum. The courses assess include Private Instruction, Junior Recital and Senior <br>Recital. <br> <br>2. Demonstrate Knowledge of Historical Elements of Music: this goal aligns with the music theory area of this proposal. Courses assessed include Intro to Music Theory, and the music theory sequence: Tonal and Aural Analysis I-IV. <br> <br>3. Effectively Analyze Musical Scores and Demonstrate Knowledge of Music Theory: this goal aligns with the musicological portion. |
