All degree recitals require written program notes. Notes will reflect a degree-appropriate level of scholarship and will indicate any sources referenced in footnotes or a bibliography. Approximately two paragraphs per group are expected. Program notes will also include original language texts and English translations, noting the source for the translation. DMA students who are performing an opera role in fulfillment of one of the DMA recitals will be expected to write program notes for the performance as well. 

DMA students will provide the draft of this document to the major professor and the recital committee two weeks before the scheduled recital or opera role.  DMA students counting an opera role as a recital should have their approval from the Graduate Performance Dissertation Committee and required paperwork completed by this time.  

DMA students must pick up a repertoire form and comment sheet from the Division's Administrative Assistanct and give those forms (once filled out) to the major professor.  The major professor will hand the comment sheets to the recital committee members before the recital.  If a recital committee member is not present, it will be the student's responsibility to make sure the absent committee member receives a copy of the form to fill out.  

Once the recital is completed, the major professor will collect the forms, enter the appropriate scores into the scoring rubric, and turn it into the office of the Administrative Assistant.  

DMA students must complete either a recital or a jury be the end of the two long semesters in an academic year.  

Doctoral students should consult the DMA Handbook for additional requirements. Information regarding counting an opera role for a recital and the necessary procedure to do so will be found in that document as well.
