Degree Recitals
Scheduling
1. Avoid scheduling a degree recital on a Friday or Saturday night, if you wish to have your teachers and your peers in attendance. Many faculty and students are season ticket-holders for the IU Opera Theatre, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and other arts groups in the area that hold their presentations on these evenings. It is inconvenient, and sometimes costly, to change dates for which tickets have already been purchased. When arranging your recital, you should also avoid conflicts with the I500 Seminar, the New Music Ensemble and, whenever possible, with other major performing groups in the School of Music.
2. MM: Computer Music Composition recitals must be scheduled during a Fall or Spring semester (i.e. no Summer Session MM:MCM recitals).
3. Check the events page for possible conflicts.
4. You must include the year of composition and duration of each piece in the title field of the online recital form submission, and also indicate somewhere the instrumentation of each piece.
5. Immediately after scheduling your recital, send the date, time and location to the department coordinator for inclusion on the composition department Events page.
6. If your recital involves percussion, do NOT plan to use Ford Hall (see below).

Percussion
- Timpani, marimba, vibraphone, glockenspiel, xylophone (and any other large instrument) are not allowed to be used in Ford Hall.
- IU gear is not to be used for performances outside the JSoM (meaning the JSoM facilities), unless permission given by Stacey Duggan and/or the percussion faculty.
- IU gear is not to be taken off campus for any reason, unless permission is given by Stacey Duggan and/or the percussion faculty.
Special Piano Needs
If your work uses piano and calls for any technique other than normal playing on the keys, such as removing the lid or doing ANYTHING inside the piano, you MUST contact the Piano Shop.
Audio Support
If a work requires sound playback or sound reinforcement (microphones, etc.), it is the student's responsibility to contact Recording Arts Department for support. Works prepared using the facilities of the Center for Electronic and Computer Music must have the prior approval of Profs. Jeffrey Hass or John Gibson.
Support for departmental and degree recitals in Auer and Recital Halls is provided by the Department of Recording Arts (DRA) free of charge. At this time the DRA does not support audio playback and sound reinforcement in Ford Hall or JSoM classrooms. Send your request to audiopro@indiana.edu at least two weeks in advance. Provide details of work to be performed, equipment needs, recital and dress rehearsal date, time, and venue. Requests submitted less than two weeks in advance will be fulfilled at the departments's discretion.
