November 9, 2015 Revised January 22, 2017 Dear Committee: Please Find

November 9, 2015 revised January 22, 2017 Dear Committee:

Please find appended to this letter my proposal to create a Certificate in Baroque Trumpet program at the University of Kentucky.

The Baroque trumpet, also commonly referred to as the “natural trumpet,” is the valveless ancestor of the modern valved trumpet. Already enjoying a major revival in Europe, Baroque trumpet study is quickly becoming an emerging trend in the United States.

Upon my arrival at UK in 2013, I began offering private instruction in the Baroque trumpet, first as a special section of trumpet lessons, and eventually as its own course, MUP 322/422/522/622: Historical Instrument: Baroque Trumpet. In addition, I also established MUC 171/570, Baroque Trumpet Ensemble. The UK Baroque Trumpet Ensemble is one of the few university natural trumpet ensembles in the United States, and they performed at the 2014 International Trumpet Guild Conference in King of Prussia, PA.

I believe it is now the proper time to take advantage of our growing Baroque trumpet program and codify these experiences into a formalized program of study. A Certificate in Baroque Trumpet is the best way to do this. The purposes of Certificate programs at the University of Kentucky are: 1) The ability to respond to emerging and cutting edge fields 2) The ability to certify specializations 3) An enhancement for recruitment to UK or to a College

Certainly, Baroque trumpet is an emerging, cutting edge field. Already in many parts of Europe, it is expected that performances of Baroque-era pieces be played on Baroque trumpet. In North America, more and more period-instrument ensembles are forming, such as Apollo’s Fire, the American Bach Soloists, and the Orchestra of New Spain.

The Certificate in Baroque trumpet will also certify specializations, and allow UK trumpet students to document their activities on Baroque trumpet. This will help them in graduate school applications and job placement. Jared Wallis, a current UK trumpet senior, recently was awarded a teaching assistantship at the Eastman School of Music to help start their Baroque trumpet program. Clearly, it will be helpful for UK students to certify their specialization on Baroque trumpet.

Finally, having this Certificate will be an enhancement for recruitment to UK and the College of Fine Arts. This certificate program will be one of the only such programs in the United States, and therefore will have great appeal to students around the country.

This PDF includes: 1) This cover letter 2) Letter of support from Dr. John Scheib 3) Email confirming unanimous passage of proposal by Undergraduate Committee 4) Proposal 5) Email of correspondence with Office of Institutional Effectiveness (requested component of proposal) 6) Email confirming approval of UK School of Music Advisory Committee 7) Syllabus for MUP 322/422/522/622 Historical Instruments: Baroque Trumpet 8) Syllabus for MUP 171/570 Baroque Trumpet Ensemble 9) Syllabus for MUS 395/695 Baroque Performance Practice 10) Assessment Plan and Rubric for the Certificate

At the time of this writing, this proposal has now been approved by appropriate committees within the UK School of Music, including the Undergraduate Committee and Advisory Committee.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at any time.

An Undergraduate Certificate is an integrated group of courses (as defined here 12 or more credits) that are 1) cross-disciplinary, but with a thematic consistency, and 2) form a distinctive complement to a student’s major and degree program, or 3) leads to the acquisition of a defined set of skills or expertise that will enhance the success of the student upon graduation. Undergraduate Certificates meet a clearly defined educational need of a constituency group, such as continuing education or accreditation for a particular profession; provide a basic competency in an emerging area within a discipline or across disciplines; or respond to a specific state mandate.

After the proposal receives college approval, please submit this form electronically to the Undergraduate Council. Once approved at the academic council level, the academic council will send your proposal to the Senate Council office for additional review via a committee and then to the Senate for approval. Once approved by the Senate, the Senate Council office will send the proposal to the appropriate entities for it to be included in the Bulletin. The contact person listed on the form will be informed when the proposal has been sent to committee and other times, subsequent to academic council review.

2. OVERVIEW 2a Provide a brief description of the proposed new undergraduate certificate. (300 word limit) The Baroque Trumpet, also commonly called the "natural trumpet," is the valveless ancestor of the modern valved trumpet. It is twice the length of the modern valved trumpet and requires an entirely different physical and musical approach. It reached its zenith during the Baroque era, and today is once again becoming an

important instrument in the fields of music performance, musicology, and music education. Already in many parts of Europe, it is expected that performances of music written prior to the 19th century be played on the valveless natural ("Baroque") trumpet, and this is now a growing field in the United States. In an effort to be on the cutting edge of this emerging field, we would like to create a certificate in Baroque trumpet. We already offer many courses in and related to the Baroque trumpet, including MUP 322/422/522/622 Historical Instruments: Baroque Trumpet and MUC 171 Baroque Trumpet Ensemble. The UK Baroque Trumpet Ensemble was one of two university Baroque trumpet ensembles to perform at the 2014 International Trumpet Guild Conference in Pennsylvania. We feel that codifying these opportunities into a certificate program will strengthen our program for current students and also help recruit new students into this rapidly growing program.

2b This proposed undergraduate certificate (check all that apply): Is cross-disciplinary5. Is certified by a professional or accredited organization/governmental agency. Clearly leads to advanced specialization in a field.

2c Affiliation. Is the undergraduate certificate affiliated with a degree program? Yes No If “yes,” include a brief statement of how it will complement the program. If it is not affiliated with a degree program, incorporate a statement as to how it will provide an opportunity for a student to gain knowledge or skills not already available at UK. (300 word limit) The Certificate in Baroque Trumpet will complement existing programs in music education, music performance, and musicology. This new certificate program is needed because, currently, there is no Baroque trumpet component of any of these programs. Students in these programs study modern instruments. Their applied study (MUP 112, 212, 312, etc.) is on modern instruments, they are assessed (in the form of a jury) on their modern instruments, and all instruction is on modern instruments. The Baroque trumpet is an entirely different (and arguably much more difficult) instrument. The Baroque trumpet is an 8-foot long instrument with no valves. The modern trumpet is a 4-foot long instrument with three piston valves.

2d Duplication. Are there similar regional or national offerings? Yes No If “Yes,” explain how the proposed certificate will or will not compete with similar regional or national offerings.

Rationale and Demand. Explain the need for the new undergraduate certificate (e.g. market demand and cross- 2d disciplinary considerations). (300 word limit) For the students, this certificate program will prepare them for the rapidly growing, emerging field of Baroque trumpet performance, a field that is already widespread in most European countries. For example, while most performances of Baroque music in America is played on the valved piccolo trumpet, an entirely anachronistic instrument that bears no resemblance to its historical ancestor, in England and Italy, nearly all professional performances of Baroque are on the Baroque trumpet, in other words, the original instrument for which the music was originally composed. There is a growing market demand in the United States, and I predict in the next 10-15 years it will be expected that all performers be versed in the Baroque trumpet. For example, the current job posting for the trumpet vacancy at the University of Louisville states it prefers someone who can play the natural trumpet. For the University of Kentucky, this is an important way to adapt to the growing market of this cutting edge field, and recruit new students from around the world into this new program.

5 An undergraduate certificate must be cross-disciplinary and students must take courses in at least two disciplines, with a minimum of three credits to be completed in a second discipline.

2e Target audience. Check the box(es) that apply to the target student population. Currently enrolled undergraduate students. Post-baccalaureate students.

2f Describe the demographics of the intended audience. (150 word limit) I anticipate two types of students will be interested in this certificate:1) Students who come to the University to pursue a traditional degree program in music education or music performance who want to enhance and complement their experience with training in the Baroque trumpet. 2) Students who specifically want to pursue a career in the Baroque trumpet and choose the University of Kentucky because of our unique program in this emerging field.

2g Projected enrollment. What are the enrollment projections for the first three years? Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 (Yr. 1 continuing + new (Yrs. 1 and 2 continuing + entering) new entering) Number of Students 2 4 6

Distance learning (DL). Initially, will any portion of the undergraduate certificate be 2h Yes No offered via DL? If “Yes,” please indicate below the percentage of the certificate that will be offered via DL. 1% - 24% 25% - 49% 50% - 74% 75 - 99% 100%

If “Yes,” describe the DL course(s) in detail, including the number of required DL courses. (200 word limit)

3. ADMINISTRATION AND RESOURCES Administration. Describe how the proposed undergraduate certificate will be administered, including 3a admissions, student advising, retention, etc. (150 word limit) For admission, students must pass an audition and be accepted into private study on the Baroque trumpet. As part of private study, students will be evaluated formally by the entire brass faculty each semester in their "jury." This jury will allow all brass faculty to provide feedback to the students in a range of criteria,

including articulation, tone production, rhythm, and many other categories. Since a large component of this certificate will be private study and small ensembles, the teacher-to-student ratio will be quite small and it should be easy for faculty to admit, teach, advise, and retain students.

Faculty of Record. The Faculty of Record consists of the undergraduate certificate director and other faculty who will be responsible for planning and participating in the certificate program. Describe the process for identifying the certificate director. Regarding membership, include the aspects below. (150 word limit) 3b  Selection criteria;  Whether the member is voting or non-voting;  Term of service; and  Method for adding/removing members. As he is the only faculty member on campus who has training in the Baroque Trumpet, Jason Dovel will be

the faculty director. Should additional faculty be added to the School of Music who have training in the

NEW UNDERGRADUATE CERTIFICATE Page 3 of 8

NEW UNDERGRADUATE CERTIFICATE

Baroque Trumpet, they may be eligible for participation in the program, however, at the present moment that is very unlikely; as described earlier in this document, this is an emerging field and the very need to create this type of program for an emerging field is evidence that most current faculty do not have training in this area. Regarding Jason Dovel's qualifications to teach Baroque Trumpet, he has a doctoral minor in early music with a specialization in Baroque trumpet, and has taught Baroque Trumpet courses at two universities (UK and Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK) Three additional faculty of record will include: Jonathan Glixon, Professor of Musicology Bradley Kerns, Assistant Professor of Trombone David Elliott, Associate Professor of Horn

3c Advisory board. Will the undergraduate certificate have an advisory board6? Yes No If “Yes,” please describe the standards by which the faculty of record will add or remove members of the

advisory board. (150 word limit)

If “Yes,” please list below the number of each type of individual (as applicable) who will be involved in the

advisory board. Faculty within the college who are within the home educational unit. Faculty within the college who are outside the home educational unit. Faculty outside the college who are within the University. Faculty outside the college and outside the University who are within the United States. Faculty outside the college and outside the University who are outside the United States. Students who are currently in the program. Students who recently graduated from the program. Members of industry. Community volunteers. Other. Please explain: Total Number of Advisory Board Members

Course utilization. Will this undergraduate certificate utilize courses from other 3d Yes No academic units? If “Yes,” two pieces of supporting documentation are required.

Check to confirm that appended to the end of this form is a letter of support from the other units’ chair/director7 from which individual courses will be used. The letter must include demonstration of true 8 collaboration between multiple units and impact on the course’s use on the home educational unit.

Check to confirm that appended to the end of this form is verification that the chair/director of the other unit has consent from the faculty members of the unit. This typically takes the form of meeting minutes.

6 An advisory board includes both faculty and non-faculty who advise the faculty of record on matters related to the program, e.g. national trends and industry expectations of graduates. 7 A dean may submit a letter only when there is no educational unit below the college level, i.e. there is no department/school. 8 Show evidence of detailed collaborative consultation with such units early in the process.

NEW UNDERGRADUATE CERTIFICATE

Financial Resources. What are the (non-course) resource implications for the proposed undergraduate 3e certificate, including any projected budget needs? (300 word limit) No new faculty or resources are needed at this time. All the coures required for this certificate are already

offered at the University of Kentucky; this program codifies them into a formalized study program.

Other Resources. Will the proposed undergraduate certificate utilize resources (e.g. 3f Yes No departmentally controlled equipment or lab space) from additional units/ programs? If “Yes,” identify the other resources that will be shared. (150 word limit)

If “Yes,” two pieces of supporting documentation are required.

Check to confirm that appended to the end of this form is a letter of support from the appropriate chair/director9 of the unit whose “other resources” will be used.

4. IMPACT 4a Other related programs. Are there any related UK programs and certificates? Yes No If “Yes,” describe how the new certificate will complement these existing UK offerings. (250 word limit) There are no other degree program or certificate in Baroque trumpet. As described earlier (in 2C), this new certificate will complement existing programs in music education, music performance, and musicology, and in that sense, is related to those existing programs. Regarding the supporting documentaion mentioned below:

For confirmation of unit director, see attachment from Dr. John Scheib, director of the UK School of Music. For confirmation of faculty, see attachment from Dr. Beth Arnold, director of undergraduate studies in the UK School of Music.

If “Yes,” two pieces of supporting documentation are required.

Check to confirm that appended to the end of this form is a letter of support from the appropriate chair/director of the unit whose “other resources” will be used.

Check to confirm that appended to the end of this form is verification that the chair/director has input from the faculty members of the unit. This typically takes the form of meeting minutes.

5. ADMISSIONS CRITERIA AND CURRICULUM STRUCTURE 5a Admissions criteria. List the admissions criteria for the proposed undergraduate certificate. (150 word limit) -Students must audition for admission into the UK School of Music and be accepted -Students must audition for Faculty Director on the Baroque Trumpet -Students must own a Baroque Trumpet

6. ASSESSMENT Student learning outcomes. Please provide the student learning outcomes for this undergraduate certificate. 6a List the knowledge, competencies, and skills (learning outcomes) students will be able to do upon completion. (Use action verbs, not simply “understand.”) (250 word limit) 1. Perform high-quality Baroque trumpet etudes, excerpts, and solos appropriate to their level. 2. Demonstrate proper respiration on the Baroque trumpet. 3. Demonstrate a proper tone quality characteristic to the Baroque trumpet 4. Demonstrate correct articulation appropriate to the composer, period, and national origin of a composition. 5. Perform a final jury of a solo appropriate to their level. 6. Perform small and large trumpet ensemble repertoire to a high level of musicianship.

Student learning outcome (SLO) assessment. How and when will student learning outcomes be assessed? Please map proposed measures to the SLOs they are intended to assess. Do not use grades or indirect measures 6b (e.g. focus groups, surveys) as the sole method. Measures likely include artifacts such as course-embedded assessment (e.g., portfolios, research papers or oral presentations); and test items (embedded test questions, licensure/certification testing, nationally or state-normed exams). (300 word limit) Student learning outcomes will be assessed each week by the applied teacher in private lessons. They will also

be assessed by the entire Brass Faculty at the end of each semester in the form of a jury exam.

Certificate outcome assessment12. Describe program evaluation procedures for the proposed undergraduate certificate. Include how the faculty of record will determine whether the program is a success or a failure. List 6c the benchmarks, the assessment tools, and the plan of action if the program does not meet its objectives. (250 word limit) Due to the one-on-one nature of applied music instruction, assessment of learning outcomes will be easy to measure every single week. Short-term goals of the program will include recruiting and retaining students in the program, with at least two undergraduate students completing the program in its first four years. Longterm goals include having students accepted to perform at national and international conferences on the

Baroque trumpet, such as the International Trumpet Guild Conference and Historic Brass Society Conference. If the program does not meet the aforementioned objectives, it will be re-assessed and appropriate adjustments to curriculum, recruiting, and retention will be made.

7. OTHER INFORMATION 7a Is there any other information about the undergraduate certificate to add? (150 word limit)

8. APPROVALS/REVIEWS Information below does not supersede the requirement for individual letters of support from educational unit administrators and verification of faculty support (typically takes the form of meeting minutes). Reviewing Group Date Contact Person Name/Phone/Email Name Approved

Course Description Private instruction in the Baroque natural trumpet.

Prerequisites Successful audition and acceptance into the UK School of Music as a music major or minor, or with special permission of the instructor.

Student Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:

1. Perform high-quality etudes, excerpts, and solos appropriate to their level. 2. Demonstrate proper respiration. 3. Demonstrate a proper tone quality characteristic to their instrument. 4. Demonstrate correct articulation appropriate to the composer, period, and national origin of a composition. 5. Perform a final jury of a solo appropriate to their level.

Required Materials

Sheet Music

Required materials will vary based on student’s experience and ability level. (See Course of Study)

Equipment:

1. Instrument: While this seems somewhat obvious, a quality professional model instrument is essential to technical and musical growth. A limited number of Baroque trumpets are available for checkout from the instructor's personal collection and from UK. While students are encouraged and welcome to borrow these instruments, it is highly recommended that serious Baroque trumpets purchase their own instrument. High-quality Baroque instruments are sold domestically through the Baroque Trumpet Shop in North Carolina. This instructor recommends Egger, Naumann, and Munkwitz instruments. 2. Metronome: Each student will be required to purchase a metronome. There are so many creative ways to supply a metronome ranging from iPhone apps to purchasing one online or from a music store. 3. Tuner: Each student will be required to purchase a tuner capable of unequal temperaments, such as Werckmeister, Mean Tone, or Valotti. As with the metronome, there are many creative ways to supply a tuner ranging from iPhone apps to purchasing one online or from a music store. 4. Mutes: Baroque trumpet mutes are somewhat uncommon and the student is not required to purchase a mute unless they select literature that requires it. 5. Recording Device: Each student will be required to own a device that is capable of providing audio feedback. These devices have become extremely affordable and can provide very high quality recording capabilities. Recording devices can range from microphones that can be plugged into computers or recording systems to iPhone voice memo apps. 6. Three Ring Binder: This will be a very simple, inexpensive, easy, and efficient way to keep all trumpet- related handouts, programs from concerts, jury sheets, etc. in a centralized area.

Summary Description of Course Assignments

General Requirements and Guidelines for the UK Trumpet Studio:

1. How much should you practice? As much as it takes to reach your goals! Regular, individual, daily practice is essential for development on the trumpet. Your instructor will help you plan a consistent, daily routine that will help you develop your musicianship on the trumpet to an advanced level. Remember, the quality of your practice time is always more important than the quantity of your practice time. We will help you develop good practice habits so you are efficient and productive. (See UK Trumpet Handbook: How to Practice) Below are suggested amounts of practice per day. This amount will of course vary from student to student; You need to practice how much it takes to reach your goals. Music Minors: 1 hour/day BA in Music Students: 1 hour/day Music Education Majors: 2 hours/day Music Performance Majors: 3 hours/day MM/DMA Students: 3 hours/day Note: While the time you spend in ensembles certainly counts toward your "face time," it is not the same as individual practice time. You need individual practice time in addition to ensemble rehearsals.

2. The UK trumpet studio embraces an “open studio concept.” At any time, you are welcomed and encouraged to visit any other student’s lesson and observe their performance and skill development. This well help foster support, encouragement, and a sense of community in the spirit of learning.

3. All trumpet majors and minors will be expected to present a prepared audition for placement consideration for the Wind Ensemble/Symphony Band and Jazz Ensemble/Lab Band. All students are highly encouraged to audition for the Symphony Orchestra/Philharmonia as well. Ensembles will be filled at the discretion of the Instructor and Ensemble Directors. As a general rule, music majors should be in two large ensembles (dependent on audition placement and availability) and trumpet ensemble each semester.

Grading scale for graduate students (no D for Grad Students): 90-100% = A 80 – 89% = B 70 – 79% = C Below 70%= E

Tentative Course Schedule Note: Any changes to concert performances, recitals, etc., will typically be posted and immediately available on the University of Kentucky Trumpet Studio Facebook page. This is where you can find the most up-to-date information about UK trumpet studio activities. 1. Minimum of two performances in studio class over the course of the semester 2. Jury performance (May 2-3, 2016)

Final Exam Information There is no written final exam for this course.

Mid-term Grade (for 100-400 level courses, and for undergrads in 500-level courses) Mid-term grades will be posted in myUK by the deadline established in the Academic Calendar (http://www.uky.edu/registrar/calendar).

Submission of Assignments Any written assignments (lesson observations, recital reviews) should be submitted electronically via email.

Attendance Policy Attendance at all lessons, master classes, area recitals, and divsionals is required. Failure to attend a lesson will result in the grade of “zero” for that week. As a general rule, it is very difficult to schedule make-up lessons with the major professor (Dr. Dovel). In general, make-up lessons will not be offered, except at the discretion of the instructor in the event of: 1. Illness (Instructor must be given 24 hours notice) 2. Sudden illness (with documented treatment from a medical professional) 3. University of Kentucky School of Music ensemble tours/performances 4. Absence of the instructor (Instructor on tour, out of town, ill, etc.)

From time to time, make-up lessons may be offered by the Teaching Assistant.

Excused Absences (University of Kentucky standard policy) Students need to notify the professor of absences prior to class when possible. Senate Rules 5.2.4.2 defines the following as acceptable reasons for excused absences: (a) serious illness, (b) illness or death of family member, (c) University-related trips, (d) major religious holidays, and (e) other circumstances found to fit “reasonable cause for nonattendance” by the professor.

Students anticipating an absence for a major religious holiday are responsible for notifying the instructor in writing of anticipated absences due to their observance of such holidays no later than the last day in the semester to add a class. Two weeks prior to the absence is reasonable, but should not be given any later. Information regarding major religious holidays may be obtained through the Ombud (859-257-3737, http://www.uky.edu/Ombud/ForStudents_ExcusedAbsences.php.

Students are expected to withdraw from the class if more than 20% of the classes scheduled for the semester are missed (excused) per University policy.

Per Senate Rule 5.2.4.2, students missing any graded work due to an excused absence are responsible: for informing the Instructor of Record about their excused absence within one week following the period of the excused absence (except where prior notification is required); and for making up the missed work. The professor must give the student an opportunity to make up the work and/or the exams missed due to an excused absence, and shall do so, if feasible, during the semester in which the absence occurred.

Verification of Absences Students may be asked to verify their absences in order for them to be considered excused. Senate Rule 5.2.4.2 states that faculty have the right to request “appropriate verification” when students claim an excused absence because of illness, or death in the family. Appropriate notification of absences due to University-related trips is required prior to the absence when feasible and in no case more than one week after the absence.

Academic Integrity Per University policy, students shall not plagiarize, cheat, or falsify or misuse academic records. Students are expected to adhere to University policy on cheating and plagiarism in all courses. The minimum penalty for a first offense is a zero on the assignment on which the offense occurred. If the offense is considered severe or the student has other academic offenses on their record, more serious penalties, up to suspension from the University may be imposed.

Plagiarism and cheating are serious breaches of academic conduct. Each student is advised to become familiar with the various forms of academic dishonesty as explained in the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities. Complete information can be found at the following website: http://www.uky.edu/Ombud. A plea of ignorance is not acceptable as a defense against the charge of academic dishonesty. It is important that you review this information as all ideas borrowed from others need to be properly credited.

Senate Rules 6.3.1 (see http://www.uky.edu/Faculty/Senate/ for the current set of Senate Rules) states that all academic work, written or otherwise, submitted by students to their instructors or other academic supervisors, is expected to be the result of their own thought, research, or self-expression. In cases where students feel unsure about a question of plagiarism involving their work, they are obliged to consult their instructors on the matter before submission.

When students submit work purporting to be their own, but which in any way borrows ideas, organization, wording, or content from another source without appropriate acknowledgment of the fact, the students are guilty of plagiarism.

Plagiarism includes reproducing someone else's work (including, but not limited to a published article, a book, a website, computer code, or a paper from a friend) without clear attribution. Plagiarism also includes the practice of employing or allowing another person to alter or revise the work, which a student submits as his/her own, whoever that other person may be. Students may discuss assignments among themselves or with an instructor or tutor, but when the actual work is done, it must be done by the student, and the student alone.

When a student's assignment involves research in outside sources or information, the student must carefully acknowledge exactly what, where and how he/she has employed them. If the words of someone else are used, the student must put quotation marks around the passage in question and add an appropriate indication of its origin. Making simple changes while leaving the organization, content, and phraseology intact is plagiaristic. However, nothing in these Rules shall apply to those ideas, which are so generally and freely circulated as to be a part of the public domain.

Please note: Any assignment you turn in may be submitted to an electronic database to check for plagiarism.

Accommodations due to disability If you have a documented disability that requires academic accommodations, please see me as soon as possible during scheduled office hours. In order to receive accommodations in this course, you must provide me with a Letter of Accommodation from the Disability Resource Center (DRC). The DRC coordinates campus disability services available to students with disabilities. It is located on the corner of Rose Street and Huguelet Drive in the Multidisciplinary Science Building, Suite 407. You can reach them via phone at (859) 257-2754 and via email at [email protected].

Instructor: Dr. Jason Dovel Office: Fine Arts 25 859.257.7177 office phone 540.560.8330 cell phone [email protected]

Course Objectives To develop and enhance chamber music experiences through the preparation and performance of Baroque trumpet ensemble literature.

Grading Grading will be based on preparation of music, attendance of rehearsals and concerts, and having a positive attitude. The grade will be divided as follows: Attendance and Punctuality at all rehearsals-25% Preparation of music-25% Performances-50%

Absences Students are allowed one unexcused rehearsal absence per semester. Two unexcused absences or three tardies to rehearsals is an automatic drop of one letter grade. Excused rehearsal absences include sickness and university authorized absences. Students should contact the instructor prior to the event that is to be excused.

Absence from a performance should never be an issue. One unexcused absence to a concert, dress rehearsal or sound check is an automatic E. Performance dates will be given in advance and will be scheduled around all school related events.

Expectations Students must be on time: warmed up and ready to play at the beginning of class. Students must have all class materials (music, instrument, mutes, pencil, and any other required materials). Cell phones must be turned off and left in your case at the beginning of the rehearsal. Failure to meet these expectations in any way will result in the lowering of the Preparation aspect of the class grade.

COURSE TITLE AND NUMBER: MUP 322/422- HISTORICAL INSTRUMENTS: BAROQUE TRUMPET

CLASS DAYS & TIME: Arranged with instructor

PREREQUISITES: Permission of the instructor.

COURSE PURPOSE: In this course, students will study the natural (valveless) trumpet that was the principal high brass instrument used in the Baroque era. Particular focus will be on performance practice of corresponding musical literature from the Baroque era, as well as the history of the construction of trumpets and their role in various musical and non-musical cultural settings. Baroque trumpet lessons at the University of Kentucky involve the study of the musical and physical components of Baroque trumpet performance. The physical elements of trumpet performance such as tone production, respiration, technique, articulation, range, endurance, and flexibility will be taught in relation the larger musical goal toward to which these skills are directed. In addition to specific musical and physical skills, Baroque trumpet lessons also include the development critical thinking, an understanding of aesthetics, improvisation, creativity, and the techniques of coping with performance anxiety.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS:

Beginning Literature: (First-semester Baroque trumpet students should purchase these materials to begin their studies.) Edward Tarr, The Art of Baroque Trumpet Playing, Volume 1: Basic Exercises. Schott, 1999. Giovanni B. Viviani, Sonata No. 1 (Public domain and available for free at IMSLP.ORG) Niklaus Eklund, The Art of the Baroque Trumpet Vol. 1, Naxos Records. (CD Sound Recording)

Intermediate Literature: (Second-semester Baroque trumpet students should purchase these as they continue their studies) Edward Tarr, The Art of Baroque Trumpet Playing, Volume 2: Method of Ensemble Playing. Schott, 2000. J.S. Bach, Complete Repertoire, Vol. 1: Church Cantatas I. Musica Rara. G.F. Handel, Complete Repertoire Vol. 2.: The Sacred Oratorios, Musica Rara. Page | 1

Henry Purcell, Sonata for Trumpet in D. (Public domain and available for free at IMSLP.ORG) Additional solo literature to be selected at instructor's discretion

Advanced Literature: (For advanced Baroque students who have completed two or more semester of Baroque trumpet study.) Edward Tarr, The Art of Baroque Trumpet Playing, Volume 3: A Beautiful Bouquet of the Finest Fanfares. Schott, 2001. J.S. Bach, Complete Repertoire, Vol. 2: Church Cantatas II. Musica Rara. J.S. Bach, Complete Repertoire, Vol. 3: Masses, Oratorios, etc.. Musica Rara. G.F. Handel, Complete Repertoire Vol. 1.: The Operas, Musica Rara. Henry Purcell, Complete Repertoire, Musical Rara. Additional solo literature to be selected at instructor's discretion.

Required Equipment:

2. Metronome: Each student will be required to purchase a metronome. There are so many creative ways to supply a metronome ranging from iPhone apps to purchasing one online or from a music store.

3. Tuner: Each student will be required to purchase a tuner capable of unequal temperaments, such as Werckmeister, Mean Tone, or Valotti. As with the metronome, there are many creative ways to supply a tuner ranging from iPhone apps to purchasing one online or from a music store.

4. Mutes: Baroque trumpet mutes are somewhat uncommon and the student is not required to purchase a mute unless they select literature that requires it.

5. Recording Device: Each student will be required to own a device that is capable of providing audio feedback. These devices have become extremely affordable and can provide very high quality recording capabilities. Recording devices can range from microphones that can be plugged into computers or recording systems to iPhone voice memo apps.

6. Three Ring Binder: This will be a very simple, inexpensive, easy, and efficient way to keep all trumpet- related handouts, programs from concerts, jury sheets, etc. in a centralized area.

STUDENT PERFORMANCE ACTIVITIES:

1. Attendance at all lessons is required. Failure to attend a lesson will result in the grade of “zero” for that week. Make-up lessons will not be offered, except at the discretion of the instructor in the event of: a. Illness (Instructor must be given 24 hours notice) b. Sudden illness (with documented treatment from a medical professional) c. University of Kentucky School of Music ensemble tours/performances d. Absence of the instructor (Instructor on tour, out of town, etc.)

2. Regular, daily practice is essential for development on the Baroque trumpet. Your instructor will help you plan a consistent, daily routine that will help you develop your musicianship to an Page | 2

advanced level. Students who are studying Baroque trumpet as a secondary instruments to their existing modern trumpet studies should practice the Baroque trumpet one hour per day. Students who seek to make the Baroque trumpet a primary focus of their performance pursuits should practice at least two hours per day.

3. The UK trumpet studio embraces an “open studio concept.” At any time, you are welcomed and encouraged to visit any other student’s lesson and observe their performance and skill development. This well help foster support, encouragement, and a sense of community in the spirit of learning. To that end, you will be required to observe a minimum of two other lessons over the course of the semester, take notes, and submit your observations in a written two-page report, relating that student’s lesson to your own skills and development. Note: Students who are enrolled in both modern trumpet and Baroque trumpet lessons need only turn in a total two lesson reviews. (Although they are welcome to attend and review as many as they would like.)

4. All Baroque trumpet students will be expected to participate in Baroque trumpet ensemble.

5. Cell phones should be turned OFF (or silenced) during lessons. A cell phone ringing (or vibrating) during a lesson will result in dismissal from that lesson.

6. If a student is having trouble understanding an assignment or having problems with any aspect of the lesson material, the student should contact the instructor immediately. Waiting until the next lesson to explain an inability to complete an assignment due to lack of understanding or clarity is unacceptable. There will be many opportunities to seek further help ranging from staying for an extra minute or two after trumpet ensemble rehearsal to scheduling an extra lesson time.

ASSIGNMENT DUE DATES:

1. One public solo performance, reviewed by instructor, prior to Jury. 2. Jury performance TBA 3. Two “Open studio” lesson observations, December 8, 2014

STUDENT EVALUATION:

The following is the grading criteria that will be applied to every aspect of the lesson including, but not limited to, areas such as: preparedness, technical proficiency, musical proficiency, punctuality, and work ethic.

Grade of A – Well above average, superior work Grade of B – Above average Grade of C – Average Grade of D – Below average Grade of E – Unacceptable

Grade Breakdown: 70% Preparation for weekly lessons 10% “Open studio” lesson observations 20% Jury

Juries

Regular Jury Each student taking applied trumpet lessons for two or more credit hours will perform a jury at the end of each semester (the last full week of classes), the exception being the semester in which a degree recital is performed. The jury will be performed in front of the entire brass faculty and should demonstrate both musical and technical progress. The jury should consist of works covered through the semester and may include solos, etudes, excerpts, or other materials which may be determined by the student and the professor. Brass Juries usually take place during the last two weeks of the semester. Each jury will also include a sight-reading component.

It is the student’s responsibility to obtain an accompanist for each jury. Students should bring five adequately filled out jury sheets as well as two copies (originals or photo copies) of the jury music to be used by the jury panel. Failure to bring these copies will result in a lowering of one letter grade.

Full Faculty Jury All students in a performance degree program (BM, MM, or DMA) are required to pass a Full Faculty Jury. Full Faculty Jury requirements and specifics can be found in the University of Kentucky Bulletin.

Recitals

A recital is an opportunity for a student to show the culmination of musical growth and personal independence. The recital should be viewed as a musical performance that is going to be enjoyed by not only the audience, but also most importantly, YOU the musician! Programming is of absolute importance during this process. I will be in close contact and collaboration with you during the entire process. The recital should not be something that you just "get through" or "survive", it should be designed and programmed to be a successful performance. Here are some important things to remember as you are preparing for this event.

BM-Performance students must present a full senior recital consisting of at least 50 minutes of music. BMME-Students must present a recital consisting of at least 25 minutes of music. Graduate Students should consult the School of Music Graduate Handbook, the UK Graduate Bulletin, or their Advisor for details.

1. Accompanist - an accompanist should be picked as soon as possible. Waiting until week’s prior causes stress on all parties involved. Be prepared to pay well for a great accompanist.

2. Recital Hearing - The student must perform the recital in its entirety before a selected jury at least three weeks prior to the scheduled recital date. This performance will be judged as a pass/fail by the jury. The jury should consist of two brass faculty and one applied faculty from outside the brass area. The student is responsible for scheduling the recital hearing date, reserving a location, and selecting the jury panel. The student will provide the jury with two copies of each work. Before a student can attempt a recital hearing, all scale requirements must be passed. If a student fails the recital hearing, the recital date must be rescheduled, as well as another hearing that would again fall at least three weeks prior to the new recital date.

3. Recital Procedures - The student should go to the School of Music office (room 105) to obtain a senior recital form application. The student should also request a recording application (if recording is desired) and fill it out at least thirty days in advance of the recital. If the student wants a reception, there is currently a $20 fee to use the President's Room in the SCFA. No receptions are permitted in any part of Memorial Hall.

Page | 4

4. Program - For printing of programs, the student should submit a complete program in its final form to the Secretary in the School of Music office no later than two weeks prior to the recital date. Students may also choose to print their own program if it is done in an acceptable professional format.
