Students who choose this degree should be fully aware of the professional commitment they are making to the art of music. They should expect to continue their studies at the graduate level and to spend their lives in the constant pursuit of excellence through disciplined practice, study, and performance. Performance majors are available in piano, guitar, voice or one of the standard string, woodwind, brass, or percussion instruments of the orchestra. Students may be admitted to the program either at the time of their audition or may arrange an audition after beginning their studies at Mansfield University. If a student elects to audition for the performance degree after beginning studies at Mansfield, the audition should take place as early as possible, because the number of performance credits necessary for graduation is considerably greater than in the other curricula. Some credits can be made up by studying in the summer and applying for credit by examination (see page 18 of the catalog for more information). It may also be necessary for the student to remain longer at the university in order to complete all performance requirements. A full-length recital, on campus, is required in the senior year; and traditionally junior performance majors present at least a half recital. All performance majors are required to appear on Promenade at least once a semester.
