SENIOR RECITAL JURY
What is Required?
1. Students must schedule and pass the recital jury before scheduling the recital date. Each recital jury must be scheduled in advance with the appropriate Applied Area Coordinator. (Teacher will assist their students to arrange this).
When does it need to be done?
2. There are (3) "windows of opportunity" to take a recital jury a. The semester prior, at a time set aside during juries; b. At a prearranged time during the week prior to the beginning of classes; or c. During weeks 1-7 of the semester in which the recital is anticipated.
How does a student get a recital date?
3. After the recital jury has been passed, Public Affairs office (room 116D) will allocate and schedule student recital dates on a "first come, first serve" basis. There is a strict limitation on the number of recitals that can be scheduled during the last 2 weeks of any semester.
For scheduling senior recital contact Guy Fabre email: guy.fabre@csun.edu
