Course syllabus

Required performance classes:  Korevaar, Wednesday at 2:00 pm in C196 or Grusin Auditorium, as posted on the door,
AND
Mondays at 2:00 pm : Weekly Departmental Recitals, Grusin Auditorium.
Students wishing to perform on Monday concerts must submit the request to me in advance.  In general, repertoire to be presented on Monday programs should have already been successfully performed in a Wednesday studio class.
Attendance is required and expected at Monday and Wednesday classes!

Weekly lessons: as scheduled.  Unexcused absences will not be made up.  Excused absences will be made up as much as is possible.   I will try to be as accommodating as is reasonably possible.

Attendance at faculty and other piano-related concerts is encouraged.  Check the schedules of CU Concerts, Boulder Philharmonic, and Boulder Public Library for local events of interest.  Attending your own professor's concerts is required; violators will be publicly excoriated.

Scale and arpeggio requirements for Freshman and Sophomore juries (all degree programs):
The faculty reserve the right to ask for any (Sophomores, up to 3 sharps or flats for Freshmen) major or minor scale (harmonic or melodic), to be performed four octaves, in sixteenth notes, quarter note  = 96-116.  Not only accuracy, but  also quality of performance will be evaluated.
In addition, root position arpeggios (Freshmen) and inversions (Sophomores) for all major and minor triads may be requested, to be performed four octaves, triplets.

Practice expectations:
University-level piano majors should make their best effort to spend  two or  three hours per day at the piano.  In the B. M. degree program, the minimum should generally be three hours per day.  Good practice habits and consistent application are critical to your progress! In addition, don't forget to breathe the air and smell the flowers from time to time.

Grading:
Your grade will be determined by a combination of factors, including attendance, attitude, practice habits, progress (relative) and achievement (absolute). Any grade higher than a B reflects excellent work.
