III. RELATIONSHIP TO STUDENTS



  1. Credits and Contact Hours

(Provide a rationale for proposed credits and contact hours. See the formula for credit hours and contact hours on the Curriculum Website.)

Credit Hours__1___ Contact Hours__1___


Lecture_____ Lab_____ Studio_____ Internship_____
B. Course Fees

(Will the student be charged additional fees for this course?)
Lab Fees____$35______ Course Fees__$450 ________
Please explain as necessary:
The $450 fee is lower than the $550 to $850 the music majors are currently paying out of pocket for private lessons in the community as a part of their degree requirements. An Applied Music fee is necessary to offset the cost of private one-on-one lessons. An Applied Music fee is common at neighboring institutions (Appendix 1). The Applied Instrumentalists (private lesson teachers) will be paid a rate of $50 per lesson (12 lessons per semester). Each student will pay the $450 Applied Music fee and $141 for the one-credit class and a $35 Music Performance Lab fee for costs associated with concerts (recordings, etc.). The total income to the College per student is $626 and the Applied Instrumentalist is paid $600. The remaining $26 will help offset the cost of release time or overload for the full-time faculty member overseeing the Applied Music courses (see IV. A.).

C. Required/Elective/Restricted Elective



(Will this be a required course? If so, for which curricula? Provide a rationale as to why this course should be required. If this is proposed as an elective or restricted elective course, state what elective category it will fulfill and why it is appropriate for that elective category.)
Private lessons (Applied Music) are already required for the A.S. degree in

music, but lessons are currently not offered for credit and are not

taught by Suffolk faculty. (See 2008-2010 Catalog p. 163 under †.)

D. Prerequisites/Co-requisites



(What prerequisites or co-requisites will be required for this course? Provide a rationale for these requirements.)

These prerequisites do not represent a change from the curriculum


requirements.

Applied Music I (MUS125): must be a matriculating student in the Music 206-1

curriculum

Applied Music II (MUS129): Successful completion of Jury Examination I.

Applied Music III (MUS205): Successful completion of the Jury Examination II.

Applied Music IV (MUS211): Successful completion of the Jury Examination III.

E. Transferability

(Would this course transfer to any other institutions? If so, give examples of transfer institutions/departments who would accept this course. Give the name(s) of the courses it would transfer as. Demonstrate how transferability was determined.)

This course would transfer to all 4-year college music programs offering degrees in music, particularly music performance and music education.

It would transfer as “Applied Music.”

Please see Appendix 2 for a support letter from Perry Goldstein of Stony Brook

University.
F. Master Schedule

(How would this course fit into the Master Schedule? How often would it be

offered? Would it be offered in the Fall? Spring? Summer? Winter?)

Applied Music I Fall and Spring

Applied Music II Spring and Summer

Applied Music III Fall and Spring

Applied Music IV Fall and Spring
G. Estimate of student enrollment

(How many students are anticipated to initially enroll in this course per semester? Per year? How were these enrollment figures determined?)
The enrollment corresponds with the enrollment for Music Theory/Aural Skills

courses. On average, Music Theory I has 25 students in the fall and these

students would register for Applied Music I. In the Spring 2009 semester, a

total of 35 students participated in jury examinations or recitals. We expect

this number would be higher since not all of the eligible music majors

participated.


H. Class Size

(What is the maximum number of students that should be allowed to enroll in one section of this course? Provide a rationale for this class size. Should the class size be forcible?)
The students will all register under Applied Music I, II, III, or IV and

assignments to individual teachers will be made and monitored by the full-time

faculty member overseeing the Applied Music courses (see under IV. A.). The

total number of students in these courses will be equivalent to the number of

music majors in the program. In the classroom, however, each student will

be taking one-on-one private lessons with an instructor.

IV. RELATIONSHIP TO FACULTY

A. Number of current faculty available to teach proposed course and number of additional faculty required.

Applied Instrumentalists (private lesson teachers) would be contracted as needed. Full-time instructors may teach Applied Music in their area of specialization only. The number of additional faculty needed will vary from semester to semester depending on the instruments studied by current music majors. In the Fall of 2006, the instrument distribution was 24 Guitar, 9 Voice, 4 Percussion, 4 Bass Guitar, 4 Piano, 3 Saxophone, 2 Trombone, 2 Clarinet, 1 Violin, 1 Viola, 1 Double Bass, 1 Trumpet, 1 Tuba. Given this distribution, 16 teachers would need to be hired. (One teacher cannot have more than 8 students.)
In addition to Applied Instrumentalists, one full-time faculty member will coordinate the Applied Music courses. He/She will be listed as the teacher of all the Applied Music courses and will administer final grades. The additional duties of faculty coordinator are as follows:
Assist in hiring of Applied Instrumentalists

Oversee scheduling of lessons

Communicate College and Music department expectations to Applied

Instrumentalists

Monitoring course outcomes and conduct assessments

Oversee jury examinations and recitals

Lead three 1-hour recitations per semester with Applied Music students

B. Number of other staff positions required.


None
C. Discipline(s) required and/or minimum preparation in order to

teach the course.


Each lesson teacher must have a Masters degree in the instrument he/she teaches and be an active performer. Exceptions may be made for a candidate who has outstanding performance experience. Qualified full-time and adjunct

faculty are also eligible.

V. RELATIONSHIP TO SUNY GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS*

Is this course being proposed as a SUNY General Education Course. If so,


A. Identify which of the ten SUNY knowledge and skills areas the course would fulfill.

N/A
*The ten SUNY knowledge and skill areas are Mathematics, Natural

Sciences, Social Sciences, American History, Western Civilization,

Other World Civilizations, Humanities, The Arts, Foreign Language,

Basic Communication.

B. Demonstrate how the course outcomes map to the SUNY Learning Outcomes for the knowledge and skills areas you have identified. (See the Curriculum Website for further details about the required outcomes.)


N/A

C. How does this course incorporate the SUNY infused competencies of Critical Thinking and Information Management? (See the Curriculum Website for further details about the required outcomes for Information Management and Critical Thinking.)


N/A
D. Do the faculty within the department/discipline agree to assess this course according to the approved *SUNY General Education Assessment Plan, using assessment measures, i.e., instruments that measure the attainment of student learning outcomes as described in the plan?

*Be sure to see if the original assessment plan has been updated

either through the strengthened campus-based assessment plan or through a

closing- the-loop process. Contact Dr. Allen Jacobs, College Associate Dean for Assessment of Academic and Student Affairs for further information.


N/A

VI. COSTS

List costs and space requirements.
No additional space is required at this time.
The Applied Instrumentalist is paid $50 for a 45-minute lesson.

The Applied Instrumentalist teaches 12 lessons per semester per student ($600).


The student pays $141 for the 1-credit class, a $450 Applied Music Fee, and a $35

Music Performance Lab fee. ($626)

The College pays the Applied Instrumentalist $600 per student and nets $26.
The full-time faculty member overseeing the Applied Music courses teaches the

equivalent of 1 credit per Applied Music course (2 credits in the fall, 3 credits in the

spring, 1 credit in the summer depending on enrollment). This may be release time or

overload.


VII. COURSE SYLLABUS

(See Appendix Below.)
SUFFOLK COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE

COLLEGE COURSE SYLLABUS FORM
To meet the ideals of Suffolk County Community College, new courses should, if appropriate, consider issues arising from elements of cultural diversity in areas of textbook choice, selection of library and audio-visual materials, and teaching methodology. (Please note that a course syllabus is not the same as a course outline. A course syllabus outlines the general requirements for a course. A course outline is the specific document created by the individual faculty member to distribute to a specific course section. Please see the Faculty Handbook for further details as to what to include in a course outline. A SAMPLE course outline should be attached below.)
I. Course Number and Title:

(Be sure to consider whether this course is a 100- or 200-level course and give a rationale for the decision.)
