Explore the different sections on your program website to learn more about: • Program Requirements • Sample Annual Sequence Study Plan • Ensemble Policy • Performance Exam Requirements and Application Deadlines • Teacher Profiles, etc. You can locate your program website here: https://www.mcgill.ca/music/programs 1 Practical Instruction / Lesson Quota Practical instruction is also known as private lessons. All students registered in an undergraduate program at the Schulich School of Music will be assigned a teacher for instrumental or voice lessons. You must submit an online application form before the assigned deadline (usually May 15th) to request for teacher assignment. Submit an application on this website: https://www.mcgill.ca/music/resources/undergraduate/practical-instruction-muin- courses Depending on your admission type and the program for which you are enrolled in, you are entitled to specific number of years of practical instruction. To find out more about your lesson quota, visit the eCalendar: https://www.mcgill.ca/study/2021- 2022/faculties/music/undergraduate/ug_music_tuition_instruction_fees_lesson_quot as#topic_4F3E32B5C32041D4847BF67D482E9049 Performance Exams If you are in a performance program, you are expected to successfully complete three performance exams (MUIN 282, 382 and 482 for B.Mus. or MUIN 252, 352 and 452 for L.Mus.). You will consult with your practical instruction teacher to determine when is an appropriate time to apply for each practical exam. If you are in a non-performance program, you will only have one concentration exam (MUIN 283) to complete. The faculty has two main performance exam periods: April and December. You will receive an email from the Performance Department each semester to remind you when to apply for a performance exam. Similar to practical instruction, you cannot register for a performance/concentration exam on Minerva yourself. The Performance Department will add the exam course number to your student records once your application has been approved. Refer to the “Exams” tab on your program web page for more information on the exam schedules and practical exam requirements. 2 Ensembles Each program has different ensemble requirements. Click on “Ensembles” under Program Structure of the McGill website listing your program to learn more about the ensemble requirements for your program. We expect music students to register for one or more ensembles while they are taking practical instruction. Speak with your Program’s Area Coordinator if you would like to know which ensemble(s) might be suitable for you. Most ensemble assignments are based on your audition at the beginning of each academic year. Consult the ensemble audition web page for more info: https://www.mcgill.ca/music/ensembles/auditions Small ensembles (value at 1 credit each) are for students admitted in a performance program only, and are assigned by individual area. Contact the following professors if you have questions about the small ensembles. Early Music Ensemble (MUEN 580): [email protected] Jazz Combos (MUEN 570): [email protected] Brass Ensemble (MUEN 560): [email protected] String Ensemble (MUEN 560) – violin, viola and cello – must do the chamber music audition: [email protected] Wind Ensemble (MUEN 560): [email protected] Pianists must do a piano ensemble audition for placement in small and large ensembles: [email protected] Contact Ms. Egidia DeMichele ([email protected]) at the Music Student Affairs Office if you are assigned to more than one small ensemble in any given term, or require clarification on which small ensemble section you should register for. It is your responsibility to ensure you are registered in the correct ensemble section before the add/drop deadline. Failure to do so will result in failing grade due to registration error. 3 Registration and Withdrawal Deadlines You have until Tuesday, September 14th to make changes to your fall registration without fee penalty. Should you find the course load difficult to manage, or that the course is not meeting your expectation, you can withdraw from the course with refund via Minerva by Tuesday, September 21nd. More key registration dates for the fall and winter semesters can be found on the Important Date website: www.mcgill.ca/importantdates/key-dates Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) Option You are permitted to register for one non-music elective as a S/U option each semester. The S/U option has on effect on the Grade Point Average (GPA). You may not exceed 10% of your total credits in courses with S/U option at McGill to fulfill degree requirements. You must select the S/U option when registering for a non-music elective on Minerva before the add/drop deadline. The S/U grade cannot later be reverted to a letter grade. Note: S/U option cannot be used on a required course for a minor or major, and is excluded from the credit count for scholarship consideration. More info on S/U policy is found here. https://www.mcgill.ca/music/resources/undergraduate/academic-resources 4 Music Library The Marvin Duchow Music Library, which includes the Gertrude Whitley Performance Library, is located in the Wirth Music Building.

  • We Are Mcgill
    We are McGill On September 20, 2011, Provost Anthony Masi and Vice-Principal Michael di Grappa issued a communiqué concerning classes being held off-campus during the MUNACA strike. This followed an incident a week earlier in which a McGill professor was threatened with suspension for carrying out her academic duties by teaching off-campus so that she and her students would not have to cross the MUNACA picket line. The message from the Provost and the Vice-Principal was clearly intended to justify this threat in the eyes of the McGill community, and to intimidate other faculty members who might be contemplating similar action in support of their MUNACA co-workers. In presuming to express “McGill’s position” on this issue – as if the senior Administration were identical with the University—the Provost and the Vice-Principal selectively invoked regulations which they interpreted as requiring that academic duties be performed on campus. They also suggested that professors who teach off-campus during the strike are failing in their obligation to students by inconveniencing them and exposing them to unsafe learning conditions. We reject all of this. Teaching off-campus during strikes is a practice with a long and noble history at North American universities, one that allows faculty members and students to respect their co-workers, and their own consciences, while still meeting their obligations to each other. The Administration’s aggressive disregard for the integrity of this practice displays the very same lack of respect for the University’s diverse constituents that has characterized its treatment of McGill’s unionized support staff.

  • MGSS New Music Grad Student Welcome Pacakge 2013
    NEW MUSIC GRADUATE STUDENT WELCOME LETTER AND SURVIVAL GUIDE JUNE 2013 Dear incoming music graduate students: On behalf of the Music Graduate Students’ Society (MGSS), welcome to McGill! We’re thrilled that you’re joining our community of ca. 300 grad students at the Schulich School of Music. The wide range of interests and skills you bring makes McGill an exciting place to perform and study music. As MGSS leaders, we want your time here to be the best it can be. We are here for you! We will host social/networking events throughout the year, including orientation, end of term parties, general assemblies, and monthly open mic nights in the Music Library (aka “Library After Hours”). Stay tuned to hear more about these and other initiatives at orientation on August 29th and on our website (http://sites.music.mcgill.ca/mgss/) and Facebook group (“McGill Music Graduate Students’ Society”). Also, check your McGill email regularly for messages from us. In addition to organizing social activities, MGSS advocates for grad students’ needs and interests within the Schulich School of Music. We have representatives for each department (research and performance), area (strings, music theory, etc.), and committees (library, IT, etc.). We encourage you to voice your ideas, questions, and concerns to any MGSS representative. For a list of current reps, see http://sites.music.mcgill.ca/mgss/council-and-representatives/. If you’re interested in getting involved, please contact us at [email protected]. MGSS also strives to support your careers as rising scholars and performers. Every March we organize a multi- day symposium at which graduate students from McGill and other universities present their work.
