Applied Music Fees in New York State
Statistics are from June 2009. Appendix 2: Letter of Support from Perry Goldstein, Stony Brook University January 24, 2007 Professor Alice Cavanaugh Department of Music Suffolk County Community College Selden, NY 11784 Dear Professor Cavanaugh, Thank you for your recent letter outlining proposed changes in your curriculum. First, I’d like to mention that when I came to the State University of New York at Stony Brook fifteen years ago, I noted that students coming from SCCC were not well-prepared and struggled with our curriculum. This situation persisted until about eight years ago, when, with changes in your curriculum and an increase in faculty expectations, students were much better prepared. Students transferring from SCCC to Stony Brook over the last several years have been very well-prepared and have glided into our program with relative ease. I commend your chair, Craig Boyd, and your colleagues for creating such a positive and demanding environment. I have looked over your proposed curricular changes and believe they will even further strengthen your program. The change in your applied music program—having students taught “in-house” by adjunct faculty and increasing the number of semesters of lessons they need to take—is positive. It will give students more experience playing and allow you to better supervise the quality of lessons. As students should get credit for their work, making those courses one credit (rather than none) is a positive step and tells them that you value this aspect of their experience. The expansion of your ensemble requirement from two to four semesters is also positive and will promote greater experience in performance. The proposed changes to the number of credits students receive make your program more resemble ours (and other music programs). Finally, I entirely endorse the requirement that students must pass the musicianship (aural skills) courses with a “C” or better. In fact, at Stony Brook, students must receive a “C” or better in all music major courses (though they may petition in extraordinary circumstances) to receive their degree. In musicianship, though, this is especially crucial, and the greatest stumbling block for students attempting to enter Stony Brook’s music major is passing the Undergraduate Musicianship Placement Examination. Your students are now entering that side of our program fluently. I have enjoyed the close working relationship Stony Brook has with SCCC. Please count on us for any assistance you need and best wishes in initiating these positive changes to your curriculum. Sincerely, Perry Goldstein Director of Undergraduate Studies Appendix 3: Jury Rubric 
Draft: Applied Instrumentalist Contract As a result of the restructuring of the Music A.S. degree/MUSC-AS, providing for college faculty to teach instrument and voice lessons to individual students in lieu of giving credit for private off-site instruction, the College and the Faculty Association have agreed upon the following terms and conditions for Applied Instrumentalists. Applied Instrumentalists will instruct Applied Music I-IV (MUS 125, 129, 205, 211)– requisite performance study courses for matriculated Music 206-1 students consisting of individual lessons and term-end juries. Students must complete four semesters of performance study and pass all jury examinations/recital for the A.S. degree in Music. Title: Applied Instrumentalist Description: Applied Instrumentalists are employed by the College to deliver requisite private (one-on-one) lessons, Applied Music I-IV, to students matriculated in Music 206-1 curriculum. Applied Instrumentalists benefit from utilization of SCCC facilities and thereby low overhead as well as guaranteed cohort for scheduling private instruction at central location(s). Pay rate: $50.00 per 45-minute lesson. 12 private lessons per student per semester. $600.00/Applied Music student. Eligibility: The Applied Instrumentalist should hold a Master’s degree in performance on the instrument he/she will teach and show evidence of an active performing career. Exceptions may be made for a candidate who has outstanding performance experience. Qualified full-time and adjunct Music faculty shall be eligible for this position. Assignments: An assignment consists of one student. An effort will be made to give the maximum number assignments to the senior Applied Instrumentalist in order to insure uniform instruction on a particular instrument.
assignments shall count against the contractual adjunct/overload limit. Transitions: Projected implementation for Fall 2010, pending approval of the revised Music curriculum. Note: Per semester students will pay an Applied Music fee of $450 for lessons and a Music Performance Lab fee of $35 for recording related costs (see table below). These fees are subject to annual increases. Benefits to SCCC students include that these requisite lessons are available at SCCC facilities and busy students can ensure that requisite components for their degree can be received on site.
He/she will assist in the hiring, mentoring, and scheduling of Applied Instrumentalists. He/she will manage the jury examinations and student recitals and will meet with Applied Music students three times a semester (3 hours). The faculty member will enter course grades for Applied Music I-IV. Fulfilling these duties equals 1-credit per course of release time or overload. Supplementary Information
