The Department of Music faces a staffing shortage with the vacancy of one staff position. As a result we will be cutting back on services the office has normally supported.
-
Recital Attendance Requirement. There will be no recital attendance requirement for the Spring, 2009 semester. This means that 1/6th of your total recital attendance requirement for the degree will be waived this semester. Past semesters will still follow the recital attendance requirement.
Private teachers, division leaders, or classroom teachers are encouraged to make their own recital attendance policies.
-
Post-recital receptions will not be scheduled in the music spaces this semester.
-
Student recital programs will no longer be printed by the music office. Students may, however, furnish their own programs. These programs must be approved in advance by the faculty member supervising the recital.
Student recitals and recital rehearsals for Spring semester will be scheduled with Dr. Ewell. Please email him at tewell@towson.edu.
Upgraded dressing rooms. The refurbished dressing rooms are keyed to the Recital Hall and may be used by performers for events in the Recital Hall and the Kaplan (concert hall).
Practice Room policies:
-
No food is allowed in the practice rooms. This is to protect the instruments, keep the rooms clean, and discourage mice in the building.
-
Do not leave your personal equipment in the practice rooms. Instruments and equipment left in the rooms has been stolen in past semesters.
-
Please lock the doors after you are finished in the practice rooms. In past years we have had problems with unwelcome visitors staying in the practice rooms.
We are addressing the upgrade of practice rooms as finances allow. Last year we carpeted several of the rooms to help dampen sound. We also added some mirrors. This semester we added a new upright piano to room 4037B.
Thank you for your assistance. Let’s have a great semester! Dr. Ewell.

CAMPUS ESCORT SERVICE
In order to help keep students, faculty and
staff safe during their travels around the campus, the University Police provide
several types of "escort services". Starting with nightfall and running until
around midnight each night, students employed by the police department staff a
program known as "SAFEWALK". Safewalk is a walking escort program wherein a team
of two students walkers will meet you at any location within the central campus
area and walk with you to your destination, provided it too is within the
central campus area. All Safewalk personnel are dressed in highly visible yellow
and black jackets and are radio equipped. Do not hesitate to ask for
identification from the walkers. They will gladly show your their police
department ID.
For more outlying areas, the police
department also operates a student run "ride-van" between the hours of 10:00
p.m. and 2:00 a.m. daily. The ride-van will take you to any destination on
campus.
After the student run escort services have
closed for the night, police officers and police aides provide escorts to the
community. When planning on traveling the campus between 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.
police personnel will take you to any on-campus destination. Because, however,
emergency and urgent situations can occur at any given time requiring an
officers' immediate response, citizens requesting rides with officers must plan
ahead and be flexible. Delays in police response for rides do occur.
To summons the Escort Service one need only
call 410-704-SAFE (7233) from any telephone.
