STUDENT RECITALS:
GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING YOUR PROGRAM FOR PRINTING
Performance/Publicity Committee
August 2000
Congratulations on reaching this important point in your music studies! The
Music Department wishes you success on your recital.
The process of preparing and presenting data for your recital, while it may
seem trivial, is actually an integral part of the educational process. In
researching the exact titles and dates of your recital music, you will no doubt
gather a great deal of new information that will inform your performance. What
author wrote the text for my songs? From what opera does this aria come? What is
the opus number for the concerto I'm playing? Answers to these questions will
help you to better understand the context of your music (historical, textual,
etc.), and should thus inspire a more meaningful performance.
Creating programs with a uniform appearance also supports the department's
mission of maintaining excellence in performance protocol. Just as your hours of
practicing and composing allow you to communicate your music effectively, your
hours preparing your program allow you to communicate information effectively.
Your assistance in this process plays an important part in connecting with our
valued patrons: family, friends, and members of the community.
We ask that you use the template posted on the department's website (www.towson.edu/music)
in preparing your program. Should you have questions about the content in the
electronic or hard copy version of these instructions, please do not hesitate to
contact:
John Spivey, Computer/Audio Manager, jspivey@towson.edu
It is important that you prepare your program in the most
professional and punctual fashion. We ask that you prepare your recital program
according to the guidelines and deadlines listed below. Should you be unable to
meet the deadlines listed below, the department reserves the right to cancel
your recital.
By now you are likely aware of these important deadlines in
submitting your program:
4 weeks prior to recital |
Submit first camera-ready draft of program to applied teacher |
3 weeks prior to recital |
Receive revised/edited edited draft from applied teacher |
2 weeks prior to recital |
Submit final camera-ready draft of program to department secretary for
printing |
Again, all best wishes to you in this important endeavor. Please
do not hesitate to contact Mr. Spivey with any questions or concerns.
Good luck!
