3.29 Professional Expectation Policy

The UNT College of Music expects graduate students in music to be committed to their degree and to follow the UNT Code of Student Conduct (University Policy Manual, section 07.012). Success in a graduate program requires students not only to meet minimum academic standards but also to be active contributors to the artistic and scholarly community of the College of Music. Hence, students must exhibit professional behavior, which includes (but is not limited to):

1) attending classes and meetings (including seminars, masterclasses, and departmentals);

Jazz Violin, Viola, and Cello

Jazz Strings and Popular/Alternative Styles

The Jazz Strings program at UNT provides students with a solid foundation in acoustic jazz playing. The curriculum includes amplified playing and the use of electric instruments. Students will also have the opportunity to work in popular and alternative styles. Applicants may audition on violin, viola, or cello. All auditions will be on an acoustic instrument without amplification. For further information, contact Prof. Scott Tixier at scott.tixier@unt.edu.
