Indiana University’s highly regarded School of Music has recently established a growing program at IUPUI that reflects urban culture. Activities include special courses on American popular music, contemporary music performance styles, and computer-assisted electronic music production.

The Indiana University School of Music at IUPUI is committed to delivering quality music instruction to the undergraduate non-major at the nation’s premiere urban institution. Most courses carry no prerequisites and are open to all students. Performance ensembles are open to students, staff, faculty, and community members.

The Computer Music Technology Facilities have captured national attention. Several ensemble groups that are open to students, including the Jazz Ensemble, the Concert Band, the Pep Band, and the African-American Choral Ensemble, perform at campus functions.

Degrees Offered in Music

The Master of Science in Music Technology degree is offered by the IU School of Music at IUPUI. Undergraduate classes in music are also available.

Graduate Program

The Master of Science Degree in Music Technology provides graduate students an academic background in digital music production, instructional design, and multimedia development. Current graduates of this master’s program have found employment in a wide range of business and educational settings. Participants develop skills in designing software, using authoring tools and languages, applying multimedia concepts, and managing technology facilities and projects.

Admission Requirements

• Degree Requirement: Bachelor’s degree (with demonstrated musical skills)
• Minimum Grade Point Average: 3.0 (4.0-point scale)
• Admission Interview: May be used to assess the applicant’s musical literacy, computer literacy*, personal skills, and professional experience
• Portfolio: A performance tape and/or an original computer software program may be required to document an applicant’s skills and experience
• Letters of Recommendation: Three letters of recommendation are required to support the admission application

Upon receipt of the completed application, letters of recommendation, transcript, portfolio, and the completed interview, the Graduate Admissions Committee of the IU School of Music at IUPUI may grant regular admission, grant admission on probation, or reject the application.

Admission on Probation

A student who does not have an undergraduate and graduate grade point average of 3.0 or better may be admitted on probation in exceptional cases. The probationary status continues until 15 credit hours of coursework have been successfully completed. Students who are admitted on probation and incur academic probation during their first semester of study are subject to dismissal.

Degree Requirements

• 30 credit hours (courses at the 500 level or above)
• Six (6) credit hours in cognate courses (at the 400 level) to be selected from Music, Business, Education, Communications, Computer Science, Fine Arts, or Law
• Six (6) credit hours of approved courses (at the 400 level or above) from the cognate field or other fields with the approval of the head of graduate studies

Minimum Grade Point Average

• 3.0 average to continue
• No grades lower than B in core courses are counted toward the degree
• No grades lower than C are counted toward the degree

Residency Requirement

• Three consecutive summers, or one summer and a contiguous academic term

Core Courses

The following courses, 18 credit hours, are required of all students enrolled in the MSMT program:

Class		Credit Hours
N512	Foundations of Music Production	3
N513	Principles of Multimedia Technology	3
N514	Music Technology Methods	3
N515	Multimedia Design Applications in the Arts	3
N516	Advanced Interactive Design Applications in the Arts	3
N517, N518	Internship in Arts Technology, OR Arts Technology Development Project	3
	Total Credit Hours	18

Cognate Field Courses

Six (6) credit hours are required in an approved cognate field within or outside the School of Music. Students may choose to complete the remaining 6 credit hours with emphasis in one of the following areas: Music, Business, Communications, Computer Science, Education, Fine Arts, Law, or others with the approval of the department. The cognate field may become a minor if at least 12 credit hours are taken in one field.

Internship and Technology Project Opportunities

Students may elect to enroll in an internship (N517) or develop a multimedia project (N518) as the summative experience in the program. Either option is supervised by the student’s academic advisor and requires a full report. (These courses are part of the core courses listed previously.) Students participating in the internship are placed in an academic technology setting or an industry setting for one semester of experience working with technology and multimedia experts. No thesis is required for the degree.

Music Minor

The IU School of Music at IUPUI welcomes students whose majors are outside the School of Music, but who wish to minor in music. There is no audition required to minor in music, but students must declare music as

their minor at the appropriate time in their undergraduate studies.

Music minors can and should participate in ensembles within the IU School of Music at IUPUI, and should register (or audition when required) for these ensembles during undergraduate orientation or the first week of class. The Concert Band, Jazz Ensemble, Pep Band, University Choir, and African-American Choral Ensemble are open to all students.

IUPUI Music Academy

The IUPUI Music Academy opens the world of music to students of all ages in its state-of-the-art music and computer labs. The Academy opened its doors to the community in August 1996 by offering piano and electronic keyboard instruction to children and adults. Since then, the academy has grown tremendously with the addition of Preschool Music Programs and Vocal and Instrumental Programs (violin, flute, sax, guitar, trumpet). Classes are offered during the week and on the weekend for students’ convenience.

IUPUI Day Care

Children attending the IUPUI Day Care can join the Music Academy for pre-school music classes during the week day. Students have their class in a music room during their free time. These students do not miss instruction time from the Day Care Program.

International Computer Music Technology Conference and Workshop

The Annual International Computer Music Technology Conference and Workshop is hosted in Indianapolis during the latter part of June. Two workshops are offered: one in Using the Internet and Web Design Instruction, and a second in Distance Learning Technology for Music. Participants may register for one or both workshops, and graduate credit is available for those who attend both workshops.

Participants at the International Computer Music Technology Conference will be able to see and experiment with the latest technology, such as the following:

• Mac G3 Music Lab: For Macintosh users, the new 17-station, fully equipped G3 Power Macintosh lab will be open. Each station is connected to the Local Area Network and outfitted with CD-ROM, Yamaha W7 keyboard, and multimedia capabilities.
• PC Music Lab: The 21-station IUPUI Computer Music Technology Facility is one of the largest “fully networked” PC/Roland computer music education laboratories in the United States. Each of the workstations is equipped with a PII 300 multimedia computer and a Roland XP-10 keyboard, and Viking Corporation’s line of ergonomically designed furniture from Cannon IV of Indianapolis. For ease of use, each of the 21 workstations in the IUPUI Computer Music Technology Facility is connected to a Korg Group Education Controller Network.
• Digital Keyboard Lab: This lab is equipped with 16 Yamaha Clavinova keyboards, a Yamaha Lab-controller audio system, Macintosh computers/interface cards, and a Teacher’s Station.
• Graduate Lab: This lab has full production capabilities. It is equipped with digital flatbed scanning, video and photographic digital cameras, sound-tool software, video-edit software, multimedia authoring tools, and CD-ROM burner hardware and software. Both Pentium and PowerMac computers are available.

Participants will have ample lab time to pursue individual projects on either platform throughout the conference. Participants will have the opportunity to work with both Macintosh and IBM applications. Workshop session topics include the following:

• Multimedia Applications
• CD-ROM Technology
• Music Printing and Notation
• Internet Resources and Web Design
• Computer-Based Music Instruction
