The School of Music occupies the Music Building, Smith Memorial Hall, Harding Band Building, Music Annex, and space in the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. These facilities include studios, classrooms, practice and rehearsal rooms; experimental electronic music, computer music, digital piano, and computer-assisted music instruction laboratories; and musical instruments, audio equipment, and several auditoriums used for concert, recital, opera, and musical theatre performances.
The Music Library is one of the largest collections of music items in America. The faculty and students of the school present more than 350 concerts, recitals, and stage performances throughout the year, both on and off campus. In addition, visiting artists and scholars from throughout the world present master classes and lectures which complement the concert and academic offerings provided on the Urbana-Champaign campus.
The School offers two professional undergraduate degrees: the bachelor of music and the bachelor of music education. Undergraduate students whose musical interests are in the broad historical, cultural, and theoretical aspects of music (rather than professional training) may want to investigate the bachelor of arts degree offered through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, described on page 173. Graduate degrees are offered in a variety of fields of study in music at the master's and doctoral levels.
Bands, choral ensembles, orchestras, jazz bands, new music ensembles, world music ensembles, opera theatre, and many other musical organizations are open to music and non-music majors and members of the university and civic communities by audition. Private lessons and courses in history, theory, and music appreciation are open to all qualified students in the University.
All applicants for admission to the School of Music must apply and be admitted to the University of Illinois and must also audition successfully on their major performance instrument or in voice. On-campus auditions are preferred, but taped auditions are acceptable under certain circumstances. In addition, applicants for music composition-theory and history of music majors must submit original scores or other pertinent writings to substantiate their ability to pursue work in these areas. Applicants in music education must also complete an interview with the music education faculty.
