School of Music
The School of Music offers the Bachelor of Music degree and the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree. Within the Bachelor of Music degree, students may select a concentration in Music Education (with all-level teacher certification) or an emphasis in either music performance, composition, or music marketing. The department also offers minors in Dance, Music, Jazz Studies, Music Marketing, and Music Technology. The School of Music is currently accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music.
Admission to the School of Music
In order to declare music as a major, students must successfully audition for UTSA music faculty on their principal instrument. Ideally, that audition should take place prior to the student's first semester at UTSA. If that does not occur, students must audition within two semesters of starting at UTSA. Students may audition to be a music major a maximum of three times. Information on auditions can found at http://music.utsa.edu/index.php/prospective-students/audition-process.
Once admitted, music majors are expected to make consistent, satisfactory progress toward their degree. A student who fails to meet this expectation will meet with a program area advisor and may be required to change his or her major to a field outside the School of Music.
If a student is not enrolled in Private Instruction for two consecutive long semesters (Fall and Spring), the student must re-audition for admission as a UTSA music major.
Transfer students who have completed four semesters of music theory, ear training, and class piano at another institution must complete any necessary review/proficiency requirements and be eligible for all upper-level music courses within two years of entering the UTSA School of Music and declaring the music major. A transfer student who fails to meet this expectation will be required to change his or her major to a field outside the Department of Music.
COLFA Signature Experience
The Department of Music supports the COLFA Signature Experience through the following capstone experiences:
Music Education: Student Teaching (CI 4716 Clinical Teaching: All Level EC–12). The student applies knowledge from his or her undergraduate music and education training and leads music learning in the public school music classroom under the supervision and guidance of a cooperating music teacher and a university supervisor.
Music Performance: Senior Recital (MUS 4561). The student performs a one-hour recital under the guidance and supervision of his or her music professor. This performance is adjudicated by a panel of a minimum of three music faculty and includes representative solo and chamber works from a broad repertoire.
Composition: Senior Recital (MUS 4561). The student organizes a recital of his or her own compositions. Under the guidance and supervision of a music professor, works are presented in a variety of musical genres and are adjudicated by the composition faculty.
Music Marketing: Music Marketing Internship (MUS 4933). The student coordinates and establishes his or her own internship in a professional setting. Under the guidance and supervision of a music business leader and university professor, the student applies knowledge and skills from their university coursework.

Course Sequence Guide for B.M. with a Music Education Concentration
This course sequence guide is designed to assist students in completing their UTSA undergraduate degree requirements. This is merely a guide and students must satisfy other requirements of this catalog and meet with advisors in the Department of Music and their academic advisor for individualized degree plans. Progress within this guide depends upon such factors as course availability, individual student academic preparation, student time management, work obligations, and individual financial considerations. Students may choose to take courses during Summer terms to reduce course loads during long semesters.
