The College of Fine Arts salutes the many trustees who have governed Western Michigan University throughout its history. They directly advance excellence in higher education by ensuring students receive a high quality education and is fiscally sound. Appointed by the governor of the State of Michigan, trustees serve terms of office for eight years; however, many have been reappointed for additional service. We salute them and thank them for recognizing the value of the arts in a university education. Today the students and faculty lift them up through fine music!

THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC at Western Michigan University (wmich.edu/music)

Music has been present on the Western Michigan University campus since the 1905 organization of the first orchestra. In 2013, the School of Music will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the music program since Harper C. Maybee was named the first chair of the music department in 1913.

We are a comprehensive program served by faculty and staff who are active leaders in their professional organizations. This includes service as president and past president of the International Trombone Association, International Tuba Euphonium Association, International Society of Bassists, International Horn Society, the American Music Therapy Association, and International Trumpet Guild, as well as board memberships for performance instrument, composition, therapy, and music education state, national, and international organizations.

School of Music faculty members have been recognized with university awards multiple times. Last fall, Scott Cowan, Professor of trumpet, received the College of Fine Arts Outstanding Teacher Award, and recently retired School of Music Assistant Director, Margaret Hamilton, was selected for a WMU Make-A-Difference Award. Our faculty are accomplished professionals outside of their service to WMU. Judy Moonert, Professor of percussion, traveled to Havana, Cuba to research African influences on traditional Cuban music. Professor of piano, Silvia Roederer, toured China with the Verdehr Trio. Christopher Biggs, Assistant Professor of digital composition, was awarded the MACRO/Truman State International Composition Award. Violinist Renata Artman Knific was an artist-in-residence at the Orfeo Festival in Italy and The China Conservatory in Beijing. Professor of voice, Carl Ratner, toured Germany and the Czech Republic with the Bach Ensemble of Naples, Florida, and also completed a 14-city recital tour of Russian-American composers. In the past year, music faculty produced three new CD recordings; published two books; and performed hundreds of concerts, lectures, and presentations nationwide and in multiple countries.

The School of Music enrollment currently consists of 395 undergraduate music majors and 85 graduate students enrolled in various master’s programs during this fall and spring semesters. Another 40 graduate students are enrolled in the 4-summer master’s program in music education. The School of Music has selective admission that allows it to better utilize resources. This past year over 320 prospective students auditioned for 95 vacancies. The entering freshman class had an average high school GPA of 3.65. In the past years, a large percentage of music students have been recognized as Medallion Scholars. Students in the School of Music are primarily from Michigan. Last year students also came from 9 countries and 17 states.

In 2011–12, the students, faculty, and staff of the School of Music presented 266 on campus events with an attendance of 28,862. There were 341 off campus events presented, attended by 352,896 people. Gold Company performed at Lincoln Center in New York City. The Bronco Marching Band accompanied our football team to the Little Ceasars Pizza Bowl in Detroit. The Advanced Jazz Combo was invited to perform at the 3rd annual Jazz Education Network conference in Louisville, Kentucky, and the Monterey Jazz Festival in Monterey, California. Our music therapy students traveled to McGill University in Montreal to work with neuroscientist Dr. Dan Levitan at his Laboratory for Music Perception, Cognition and Expertise. The Western Jazz Quartet was invited to perform at the Maputo International Music Festival in Maputo, Mozambique, and the Western Wind Quintet traveled to Tegucigalpa, Honduras with select students to perform a concert and present master classes at the National School of Music.

Our students are remarkably successful. Last year, nine vocal music students won in various categories of the state level competition of the National Association of Teachers of Singing, and student performers won six DownBeat Magazine Music Awards. Trombonist Eric Bowman was the 1st Place Winner in the 2012 International Trombone Association’s Frank Smith Solo Competition (25 and under) in Paris, France. Recent graduate Valeria Jonard was awarded a highly competitive grant from Mexico’s National Fund for Culture and the Arts in support of a series of compositions she wrote during the final year of her master’s degree. In February, our graduate students organized and produced our first annual Entrepreneurial Extravaganza, an all-day event for music students to attend professional development workshops and meet with working musicians. Singers Chelsea Helm, Laura Tribby, Michael Miller, and Brian Schneider were selected by audition to attend the American Institute of Musical Studies vocal program in Graz, Austria this past summer.

WMU music alumni are active professionals in all facets of the music field. They are teachers in K–12 programs and hold positions in higher education at prestigious universities and colleges. Music therapy alumni thrive in clinics, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities all across North America. WMU graduates can be heard and seen performing with major symphony orchestras, at internationally recognized opera houses, and on Broadway. Their music compositions can be heard on radio, television, and in films. And they are actively engaged in arts administration and the music industry.

The School of Music has a long record of on-going partnerships with numerous organizations, schools, foundations, churches, and companies. These include the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra, Fetzer Foundation, Gilmore Foundation, Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association, Michigan School Vocal Music Association, Michigan Festival of Sacred Music, Gilmore International Keyboard Festival, Fontana Chamber Arts, and the Presser Foundation.

In January, the School of Music was proud to host Christopher O’Riley and NPR’s popular radio program “From the Top,” welcoming six outstanding young musicians to our stage, including the daughter of our own Bruce and Susan Uchimura. This past summer we hosted the annual International Women’s Brass Conference. Almost 100 guest artists and ensembles, including Paquito D’Rivera, Samuel Ramey, John Sampen, JaLaLa, Massimo LaRosa, Quincy Davis, and the Fisk Jubilee Singers, presented workshops, clinics, master classes, and concerts for our students and the public.

SCHOLARSHIPS Investing In Our Students’ Potential and Excellence

Support for scholarships is one of the most important investments you can make in the present and future success of the School of Music. Scholarships help attract and retain outstanding students in both the undergraduate and graduate programs. Outstanding students stimulate the faculty who guide their learning and performance, fostering an academic environment of greater creativity, cooperation, and excellence.

Expanding the availability of scholarships is a top priority for the School of Music and the College of Fine Arts. Scholarships do more than help pay for education. They recognize ability, talent, and financial need, and they reward hard work and dedication. Currently, 55% of School of Music students receive scholarship support.

The School of Music’s scholarships come from three primary sources: 1) income from endowed scholarship funds; 2) annual gifts directed to scholarships; and 3) the University’s operating funds. The portion of scholarships from philanthropic sources has been increasing, however, the scholarship base needs to continue to expand for the School of Music to match the resources available at other leading music schools and conservatories competing for the same outstanding students.

You can make an investment in the potential of a deserving School of Music student in different ways:

• Outright gifts of cash for annual or endowed gifts, appreciated securities, real estate;

• Pledges, which may be paid in installments over a maximum of five years;

• Gifts made through wills, trusts, and beneficiary designations on retirement plans, insurance, etc.;

• Life income plans (gift annuities, deferred payment gift annuities, charitable remainder unitrusts, or charitable remainder annuity trusts) and charitable lead trusts;

• Gifts such as closely held stock or other personal property (e.g. collectibles).

Gifts for scholarships will ensure that the School of Music continues to recruit and retain exceptional students, which will enable the school to retain its competitive edge as one of the top music schools in the United States. Current scholarship opportunities include:

Endowed Scholarships: A minimum gift of $10,000 will endow and name a scholarship. The income from such a fund provides a partial scholarship of about $500 for one student. At the $10,000 level, the criteria and selection of the recipient shall be made at the discretion of the School of Music. With a scholarship endowment of $25,000 or more, donors may designate the general terms associated with awarding the honor.

Second Century Scholarship Initiative: As the School of Music prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2013, the Second Century Scholarship Initiative will provide new scholarship resources for the school. By making a gift of $1,200, payable as a one-time gift or a three- year pledge, you will have the opportunity to name a seat in the Dalton Center Recital Hall to commemorate this important milestone for the School of Music.

For more information about making a scholarship gift, please contact David Colson, Director of the School of Music, at (269) 387-4671.
