Music Students
To schedule any recital, regardless of location, degree program, or performance medium, students must fill out the Recital Scheduling Form. Students will be scheduled in the following order: DMA, MM, PC, BM, and BA. BA recitals are elective and must only occur in the fall semester; exceptions can only be made by the Department Head. When you submit the Recital Scheduling Form, your applied instructor will automatically be notified and must approve your proposed recital dates in order to move forward with scheduling. Your recital will not be scheduled or confirmed unless your applied instructor has given the Theater Production Manager their written approval.
At least three weeks prior to the recital date, the student is responsible for completing the Production Form (linked bel0w). This form provides the Production Manager with necessary details about the event and repertoire. At least three weeks prior to the recital date, the student is also responsible for submitting program information by directly emailing Rebecca Rumbo at rebecca.rumbo23@gmail.com and the Theater Production Manager at vondermehden@uconn.edu by completing the Program Template and attaching it to the email.
