MUSI 490 Senior Thesis
Entails a public recital on the student's primary instrument/voice with accompanying program notes as well a large-scale project. The research project can take on a variety of forms. These might include: issues in performance practice, case studies, analysis, composition, musicology, multimedia, lecture/demonstration, or community-based projects. Students must propose a thesis topic and have it approved by faculty by the end of the preceding fall term, before beginning work. The research project will culminate in some form of documentation of the research undertaken, (written paper, recording, notated score) as well as a public presentation of the project for faculty, students, and campus community.
