MUSIC.
Students who successfully complete the three-year course outlined
below will be given a Music Certificate (not a State license to teach)
signed by the instructors in the School of Music and the Dean of the
Summer Quarter.
A Special Certificate (license) to teach Public School Music in the
high and elementary schools will be granted to holders of the Music
Certificate issued by the Summer Quarter.
A home reading course to include "Music History", "Music Magazines",
"Current Events", "Child Psychology", and "School Management",
will be required of those who wish to secure the special music
certificate. An examination will be given by instructors of those
courses at the University.
At the close of the third year, applicants for the Music Certificate
will be examined as to their proficiency in the playing of marches,
hymns, accompaniments, and selections of medium difficulty.
They will also be examined to determine their ability to sing in correct
tone and with proper breathing, enunciation, rhythm, phrasing,
and interpretation; rote songs, folk tunes, and other vocal selections,
secular and sacred, of medium difficulty.
All courses and examinations will meet the requirements of the Virginia
Music Teachers' State Association and of the State Board of
Education.
At the conclusion of Course A, all students who expect to continue
the course in music will be assigned a home course in sight reading.
Those who enter the Public School Music Course for a special Certificate
will be expected to have had some musical experience and to
manifest a taste for the subject.
Those who are working for an elementary professional certificate
would be greatly helped by including all of Music Course A as their
elective.

will be expected to pass an entrance examination covering Course A.
