Classical Degree Recital Timeline
This timeline is only an overview. Be sure to read the entire Recital Procedures document to learn all details pertaining to student recitals.
Before you can book
your recital date...
Six class weeks
before recital date
You must share a draft of your recital program via
Google Drive using the provided program templates. You
may do this as early in advance as you’d like. This program
is only a rough draft to demonstrate forethought and
preparation for the recital. Your repertoire does not need
to be finalized at this point. Once the rough draft of the
program has been approved, you will receive a Student Recital
Contract. Follow the instructions on the contract and obtain
your applied teacher’s signature.

PROCEDURES FOR CLASSICAL
DEGREE RECITALS

DePaul University School of Music – Updated Summer 2016
Performance Office, Room 204
Office Hours: Monday-Friday, 9am-12pm, 1pm-5pm
Student Recitals at DePaul School of Music
All Student Recitals are scheduled and processed through the Performance Office.
The scheduling and staffing stage managers and ushers is overseen by Ben
Rusch, Facilities Manager. In addition to staffing and scheduling performances,
professionally printed programs are distributed at all concerts and events at DePaul
School of Music. Students will be responsible for creating their own recital program
using provided templates. The designing and printing of the programs is overseen
by Rachael Smith, Coordinator of Performance Services. It is imperative to follow
all given deadlines and other instructions to ensure you have programs at your recital.
Types of Degree Recitals
There are four types of classical degree recitals: Junior, Senior, Graduate,
and Certificate. With your applied teacher’s consent, junior recitals may be
a joint recital, meaning two students may share one recital date and time.
Note: While Graduate and Certificate students are often required to perform a certain
number of recitals per year by their applied teacher, only one of those recitals may
“count” for your official degree recital, which means only one recital is registered,
graded, and requires program notes. For Graduate and Certificate students, these
typically take place in the last year of your degree program. Please discuss this with
your teacher to make sure you are signing up for the degree recital at the correct time.
Recital Course Credit Registration
Degree Recitals are registered as a separate course for 0 credit. The College Office
registers the degree recital credit for you. Only degree recitals are registered for
credit. The Performance Chair, Professor Julie DeRoche, is the instructor of record
for Applied Music recitals. For degree recitals, the Student Recital Contract will
function as your recital credit registration form AND your recital scheduling
form. You will only receive a Recital Contract once the Program Draft has
been approved by Rachael. If you miss the course registration deadlines for
the quarter you wish to give your recital, you will not be able to schedule
your recital date. After the Facilities Manager has scheduled your recital date,
the Recital Contract is submitted to the College Office for credit registration.
Procedures for Classical Degree Recitals
Setting up your Recital
Program Draft
The program templates live on Google
Drive, a cloud-based storage system. All
applications within Google Drive allow
more than one person to edit the same
document in real time. If you do not
have a Google account, you will need to
make one for this process (they are free).
Google Docs are fairly intuitive,
sharing many of the same features as
Microsoft Word. If you are unfamiliar
with using Google Docs, it is strongly
recommended to use the FREE training
provided by Lynda.com, available to all
DePaul students by visiting here. You will
be required to login using your Campus
Connect username and password.
Once logged in, you can use the search
feature to find “Google Docs” tutorials.
Using the Online Program Template
Keep this page open while you create
your program draft):
PRIOR TO EDITING ANY TEXT
ON THE PAGE: Go to “File” Menu>
select ”Make a copy” and save the file
name as Your Last Name_Degree type
(i.e. SMITH_Graduate). The document
will now be saved in your own Google
Drive account. If the original template
is edited, other students cannot use it
to make their program draft. If you do
this by mistake, please email Rachael
as soon as possible so the template can
be reset.
After saving your own copy, close the
template document. You are now ready
to begin filling in your information
pertaining to your recital. The blue text
is what you will type over, replacing
the content with your own. Red text
indicates further formatting instructions
(you will delete that at the end). Use the
Formatting Cheat Sheet to help with
formatting text.
Recital Program Content
You will need to include the following
information in your program draft.
Follow the instructions in the program
template to determine where this

program order as the program
document.
»» All information must include
correct diacritical marks (é, è, ü, ř,
â, etc.). For help with this, visit this
website: http://www.typeit.org/
Finishing Your Draft
Once all of your information is added,
(excluding the date, time and location
as you will add this after the recital
is scheduled), delete all red text (the
instructions). Make sure the program
looks neat and there are no spelling or
grammatical errors. Remember, this is
just a draft. Your program information/
personnel is allowed to change. You have
until 2 weeks before your program print
deadline to make revisions.
The Performance Office must print
all program material distributed at
recitals. Stage Managers will NOT pass
out any extra documents/programs/
text/translations that are not printed by
the School. If you have special requests,
please talk to Rachael. Any student
who intentionally violates this policy
will be reported to the Performance
Department Chair, Julie DeRoche.

The Recital Contract
1. Share your program draft with Rachael via Google Drive. Now that you
have created your program draft, click the blue “Share” button at the top right
of the screen. Type in the email address [email protected]. Make sure
the setting is on “Can Edit” and click “Done” or “Send.” Rachael Smith will be
notified that you have shared a document and will review your program draft.
2. Fill out the Recital Contract. Once your program draft has been approved,
Rachael will email you a Student Recital Contract as a PDF file. (Your Recital
Contract will be sent to the Gmail account unless otherwise noted). Using
a PDF reader such as Adobe Acrobat or Preview, fill out the top portion and
choose your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd preferences for a recital time and location from the
drop-down menus. Be sure the dates you select work for ALL parties involved
with your recital (i.e. your teacher, accompanist, assisting performers, family,
etc). Next, print out the contract and obtain the signatures of your applied
instructor. If you are having trouble typing in the PDF fields, you may write in
the information instead.
3. Turn in the Recital Contract to schedule your recital date with the Facilities
Manager. Although Rachael will send you the Recital Contract, to book the
date you must turn it in to Facilities Manager Ben Rusch in Room 204 between
10-6 CLASS WEEKS before your desired date AND within the university
course registration period. Scheduling your recital must be done in person.
Do not leave the contract on Ben’s desk, in his mailbox, etc. Class Weeks are
defined as weeks in which classes are in session: Finals, Winter and Spring
Breaks do not count as recitals cannot be performed during those times. See
the Recital Calendar for more information.
Procedures for Classical Degree Recitals
Important Deadlines
The recital course credit must be registered according to the university class
registration deadlines for the quarter which your recital is taking place. (In other
words, if you want your recital to take place in Spring Quarter, you must register
for the recital credit by the Spring Quarter add credit deadline). If this deadline
falls on a weekend, the recital deadline becomes the previous business day. You may
not perform or book recitals during university closings and holidays. Refer to the
Recital Calendar to see eligible dates and blackout dates.
Fall Quarter Degree Recital Registration
Opens: Wed., September 7, 2016
Closes: Tues., September 13, 2016
***The fall quarter recital registration period is shorter than winter and spring. If you are planning a degree recital
for the fall quarter, it is best to start your program draft during the summer.
Winter Quarter Degree Recital Registration
Opens: Mon., September 12, 2016
Closes: Fri., January 6, 2017
Spring Quarter Degree Recital Registration
Opens: Mon., January 2, 2017

Time, Location, & Duration of Recitals
»»
Undergraduate recitals must take place in the Recital Hall. Graduate/
Certificate recitals may take place in either the Recital Hall or the Concert
Hall. Senior piano majors may use the Concert Hall if it is available.
»»
Recitals are normally one hour in length. When scheduling your date, you
must tell Ben if your recital will be longer than one hour.
»»
Additionally, please tell him if a piece on your recital involves more than
8 performers. You and the other performers will need to assist the stage
managers with setting up the stage.
»»
Recitals may only be scheduled at the following times:
Monday – Friday:
Concert Hall at 8 p.m.
Recital Hall at 7 & 9 p.m.
Saturday & Sunday:
Concert Hall at 1, 3, 5, & 8 p.m.
Recital Hall at 2, 4, 7 & 9 p.m.
Recitals scheduled at any other time are strictly prohibited. Recitals may not take
place during university breaks or final exam weeks.
Requests For Harpsichord or Organ
Requests to use the organ or harpsichord must be specified on the Student Recital
Contract, and are subject to the approval by Jason Moy. Please contact Jason prior
to submitting your recital contract if you wish to use either of these instruments
via email at [email protected].
Getting the Date Booked
4. Once a date is decided upon, Ben will ask you to sign the very bottom of the
contract. Signing the contact means you and all assisting performers are
committed to performing on that date and time. With the exception of family
and medical emergencies, you many not change your recital date if you,
your teacher, your accompanist, assisting performer(s), or family member
is suddenly unavailable that day. If there are other extenuating circumstances,
you must immediately discuss this with your applied teacher and with Professor
DeRoche. Professor DeRoche must approve any changes to recital date or
time. Please keep this in mind when selecting dates on the Recital Contract.
After the recital is scheduled, you will receive a recital confirmation email
including a scanned copy of the Recital Contract, recital date, time, location,
your program notes deadline and your program printing deadline.
Put these dates in your calendar.
Writing Program Notes
5. Read and follow the Procedures for Writing Program Notes. You are responsible
for following all directions specified by the Program Notes Coordinator, Jason
Moy. Program notes are due no later than 6 class weeks before the date of
your recital. This deadline is provided to you in your recital confirmation
email and at the bottom of your scanned copy of the Recital Contract.
The Performance Office does not read or approve program notes. All
questions related to program notes should be directed to Jason Moy at
[email protected]
Procedures for Classical Degree Recitals
2 Weeks Before Your Recital...
Dress Rehearsals, Recordings &
Finalizing Your Program
6. You may schedule one (1) two-hour rehearsal in the performance hall
(optional, highly recommended). Dress rehearsals are arranged with Facilities
Manager Ben Rusch and may be scheduled in person or via email. Your
first eligible date to book a dress rehearsal is included in your recital email
confirmation.
7. Turn in the Recording Request Form to Professor Thomas Miller’s mailbox
(optional, highly recommended). If you would like your recital to be
recorded, read the Recording Request Form and follow all instructions
outlined. This form should be submitted two weeks before your recital date.
Please contact Tom Miller at [email protected] for any questions about
recordings as the Performance Office is not involved with the recording
request process. Family or friends are permitted to use their own audio/video
equipment to record for non-commercial use only.
8. Continue to update your program as needed. Change repertoire, order,
personnel, etc. Once your program notes have been approved by Jason Moy,
insert them into your program draft.
9. Review your program with your applied teacher. Rachael will contact you to
remind you if revisions are needed, you have one week to complete them.
Please make every effort to look over your program draft with your teacher in
person to make sure the content is accurate. It is your responsibility to share
the program draft (via email or in person) with your applied teacher. The
Performance Office WILL NOT accept responsibility for any proofreading
errors on your part.
1 Week Before Your Recital...
10. Turn in your Print Permission Slip signed by you and your applied teacher
to Rachael Smith in Room 204. This deadline is in your recital confirmation
email. (Refer to the Program Printing Schedule for more information). Failure to
meet this deadline will mean you will not have printed programs at your recital.
If Rachael is not at her desk, please put the slip in her mailbox, behind the front
desk. If you cannot obtain a physical signature because your applied teacher is
out of town, an email from your teacher stating their approval of the program is
acceptable, however this should be a last resort. Changes to the program are not
allowed once the file has been sent to the printer.
Have a Great Recital!
You will have access to the performance hall no less than 30 minutes before your
recital, and doors will open 10 minutes before. Stage managers will bring your
printed programs to your recital. Receptions may be held in the student lounge. No
alcoholic beverages may be served at any receptions on University property.
Best Scheduling Tactics
While you are welcome to schedule your recital for spring quarter, it is also the most
competitive time of year for recitals. Therefore, it is highly recommended to schedule
recitals during fall and winter quarters as there will be a larger selection of options
for dates and times.
Cancellation Policy
Recital cancellations or date changes are only allowed for family or medical
emergencies, and only with the approval of the student’s applied teacher, and
final approval of the Chair of Performance, Professor Julie DeRoche. Unexcused
cancellations may impact your final Applied Lesson grade.
Grading Policy for APM Degree Recitals
Program notes are assigned 25% of the total recital grade, and the performance
portion 75%, to equal 100%. Failure to submit program notes will impact your
recital grade, as the highest grade possible will be a C. A more detailed grading
policy is included in the Procedures for Program Notes section.

Jason Moy, Program Notes Coordinator
[email protected] (New email address beginning Fall 2016)
About Program Notes
Program notes are required for all classical degree recitals. Jason Moy will read and
grade your program notes. Once approved, Professor Moy will email you the final
version to be placed into your program draft.
This timeline is only a guideline. Late or high volume of submissions or notes
requiring significant edits will impact the length of time it takes to approve your
program notes for inclusion in your printed program.
1. Email Your Program Notes
(6 weeks) Program notes are due no
later than six class weeks before your
scheduled recital date. Email your
program notes draft to
[email protected]

acceptable:
»» Google Doc (shared via Google
Drive)
»» email attachment as Microsoft
Word (.doc or .docx), Pages
(.pages) or Rich Text (.rtf) file
Name the file as YOUR LAST
NAME-DEGREE YEAR-RECITAL
DATE. e.g. If your name is Rachael
Smith, and you’re doing a graduate
level recital on May 14, 2017, your
document should be titled: SMITHGRAD-051417
2. Draft Review & Edit
(5 weeks) Once submitted, Professor
Moy will review your program
notes and send you edits within
approximately 1 week. If your
program notes are submitted late,
the review process will be delayed.
In spring quarter, this 1-week
review period may be extended to
accommodate the high volume of
recitals. Any questions about the
status of your program notes should
be directed to Professor Moy (not to
Rachael).
3. Revisions & Changes
(4 weeks) Once Professor Moy sends
revisions, you have 1 week to review
changes and make corrections.
(3 weeks) Any final edits necessary from
Professor Moy will be sent within 3 days.
You will have 2 days to send the final
draft.
4. Insert Program Notes
into your Program
(2 weeks) Professor Moy will send the
final, approved version to you to include

Procedures for Classical Program Notes
Tips For Writing Effective
Program Notes
»» Keep program notes concise and engaging to the
reader, 1200 words max for the entire program.
Think of program notes as a written form of
spoken pre-concert remarks that you’d otherwise
give before each piece at your recital. Keep them
short, witty, and interesting.
»» Highlight one to three of the most interesting
points about each piece or composer. There will
always be more to say about a piece than there is
room to include, and that’s ok; you’re not writing
a musicology paper, and quality always trumps
quantity.
»» A good way to enliven your notes is to include an
interesting anecdote, or quotation by or about
composers/works as long as they are relevant.
Don’t overdo it by using this for every piece on
the program - variety keeps things interesting.
»» While citations are not needed in program notes,
be sure to attribute direct quotations to the
correct person. If the source of the quotation
is not well-known to the general public, please
include some qualifying information to give
the reader some context; e.g. “According to the
noted 20th century musicologist and philosopher,
Theodor Adorno, this work represents…”
»» Use program notes to give the listener a sense
of historical context within which to interpret
the piece. This may include referencing the
general time period from which the work comes:
Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, etc.
»» If you’re writing for a musically knowledgeable
audience, such as your fellow music school
peers, you may mention any relevant forms or
structures that may help your listeners process
the piece, for example, by pointing out if the
piece is a ground bass, rondo, or in a fast-slowfast sonata form. However, please remember
to use this sparingly and avoid too much detail;
always stick to the ‘big picture’ or main ideas in
your notes – you are not writing a theory analysis
paper.
»» For the general public, however, it is probably
wise to avoid technical musical terms like
sonata form, or even piano/forte and crescendo/
diminuendo, since these will mostly likely mean
nothing to them and therefore turn them off to
reading the rest of your notes or enjoying your
performance. Whether you’re writing program
notes, a research paper, or even a personal email
to a friend, always be mindful of the audience and
adjust tone and content to fit.
»» Avoid mentioning specific keys or tonalities
unless it is relevant to the point of your notes.
For example, saying “The second movement is
in the key of E Major” is too matter of fact to
mean anything to the listener/reader, while “Bach
chose the remote key of E-flat minor in this aria
to illustrate the suffering of Christ on the cross”
helps the listener/reader interpret the meaning of
what they are hearing.
»» If a composer is not a household name, it is
acceptable to give a brief one or two sentence
biographical description that highlights their
unique achievements, or places them within the
context of another more familiar composer. We
probably don’t need to know when and where
this composer was born, or where he/she went to
school unless this information is directly relevant
to a point you are trying to make in the notes.
»» Avoid subjective assessments such as, “The slow
movement is followed by an Allegro of great
difficulty and virtuosity.” What you consider to
be ‘difficult’ or ‘easy’ may not be so to others; for
conciseness, stick with objective facts whenever
possible.
»»
Avoid anachronistic comparisons, such as
describing a particularly jazzy movement of Bach
as ‘Baroque-style Gershwin’. Bach can stand on
his own without needing a reference to someone
nearly 200 years distant to qualify his work, and
vice versa.
»» Always write from a third-person point of view
and avoid “I” or “my” whenever possible. Your
personal assessment of the piece, or the fact
that you may consider a certain piece to be ‘my
favorite Mozart sonata or aria’ is irrelevant to the
reader.
Program Note Example
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
English Suite No. 2 in A Minor, BWV 807
Duration: 22 minutes
According to legend, J.S. Bach made a six-day,
200-mile pilgrimage by foot to hear Dietrich
Buxtehude play the organ in the city of Lübeck,
and ended up staying for two months absorbing
all he could learn from the famous old master.
Bach’s English Suite in A Minor bears many
influences of his study with Buxtehude, especially
in the grand treatment of the fugal Prelude that
opens the suite. The subsequent movements are
fashionable French dances that typically appear
in large-scale Baroque suites. Incidentally, the
name ‘English Suites’ came to be erroneously
applied to Bach’s collection of six French-style
suites after his first biographer, Johann Nikolaus
Forkel, made the apocryphal claim that they
were a commission by an anonymous English
gentleman.

Grading Policy For Apm Degree Recitals
Program notes will are assigned 25% of the total recital grade, and the performance portion 75%, to equal 100%.
The applied instructor will issue the performance grade, and the program notes coordinator will issue the program notes grade. These will be submitted to Professor
DeRoche, who will then record the transcript grade.
For each day that notes are late, the student loses 5% of the 25% program notes grade. Five days late and they will receive a 0 for their program notes.
Students that neglect to turn in program notes will also receive a 0.
Students who receive a 0 on the program notes component will therefore earn a maximum of 75% on their total recital grade, which equates to a C letter grade.
The letter grade breakdown is as follows:
100%: A
95%: A –
90%: B+
85%: B
80%: B –
75%: C
70%: C –
65%: F
If your program notes are submitted more than 5 days late, Professor Moy will determine if there is enough time to proofread the notes and include them in the
program.

DePaul University School of Music
Recital and Audition Recording Service
Thomas Miller, Coordinator of Sound Recording Technology
[email protected] • 773.325.4396
Updated 2015
The DePaul School of Music Sound Recording Technology Program
provides audio recording services for recitals and auditions. The fee for this
service is $75; this includes a student engineer to setup and record, rental of
the required equipment, and a master CD. This does not include postproduction services such as editing; editing of audition tapes is not
allowed.
Recital recording requests should be made at the time you reserve your
recital date; requests made less than two weeks before the date will not be
accepted. After the recital recording coordinator has scheduled an
engineer, they will call to confirm the date. At this time, you should take
the tear-off slip from the bottom of this form with a check made payable to
DePaul University to the cashier’s office in SAC. Please make payment to
the cashier’s office only after you have received a confirmation call from
the coordinator. The receipt should be given to your engineer at the recital;
no master CDs will be released without a receipt.
This CD is your master; DePaul does not retain a copy.
If you have not received a confirmation call at least one week prior to the
recital date, please contact Professor Thomas Miller at 773.325.4396.
----------------------------------------------------------Cashiers Office: this $75 check is for payment of a DePaul University School of
Music recital recording fee. Please deposit it into account
400980-100-280100-00000-IN.
Student ______________________________________________________
DePaul University School of Music
Recording Request Form
Once you have completed this form, return this page to
Professor Thomas Miller’s mailbox on the second floor of the
School of Music. After you have been contacted by the
coordinator, tear off the bottom cashier slip and turn it in to the
Cashier’s Office with a check made payable to DePaul
University for $75.00. Make payment to the cashier’s office only
after you have received a confirmation call from the coordinator.
