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.

Those who wish to enter Music B and have not completed Music A,
will be expected to pass an entrance examination covering Course A.
