Additional Guidelines<\/p>\n

for the Preparation of the Portfolios for MUS-305 and MUS-405<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. \u00a0It is strongly recommended that a practice journal be maintained during the preparation of the recitals which require a portfolio. \u00a0Entries in this journal may include such things as: \u00a0technical challenges, technical solutions, practice time on task, diction comments, listening comments, personal notes, etc. \u00a0Maintaining these and other notes will make the construction of your portfolio much easier.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 The length of each entry should be about one and one-half to two pages.\u00a0 This gives you enough room to write in some detail without writing a novel.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 When making technique comments, you should reference your detailed practice journal entries.\u00a0 The information contained in this journal will be invaluable and readily accessible for the portfolio.\u00a0 Cite specific vocal challenges you encountered while studying your literature (e.g., passaggio<\/em>, breath intake and management, the use of vocal shadings\/coloring of the voice for dramatic effect, register issues,\u00a0etc.<\/em>). Detail what you did, or tried to do, to fix any problematic areas.\u00a0 Were the problems solved, or partially solved?\u00a0 If not totally solved, which part showed improvement and what was your strategy for fixing the rest?\u00a0 In other words, provide some detail in your discussion.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Please ensure that your biographical information contains the items listed below.\u00a0 Writing this should give you about one page or so of biographical information.<\/p>\n

The following is to be included in your biographical commentary:<\/p>\n

a. dates and a paragraph about the composer\/poet or librettist\u2019s life;<\/p>\n

b. a paragraph about his\/her historical significance to the music you are \u00a0performing or to the vocal field in general;<\/p>\n

c. a paragraph or so on this composer and the genre presented (opera, song cycle,\u00a0song, musical theater,\u00a0etc.<\/em>).<\/p>\n
