Students must adhere to the procedure for scheduling events if all aspects of a performance are to run smoothly.

1. Check with your applied instructor about the procedure in your instrument area. All A&MCommerce students must obtain the permission of the instructors in their instrument area (e.g., piano, brass, percussion, string, voice, woodwinds) to perform a recital on campus. Some areas require a recital preview; in other areas the procedure is less formal.
2. Check the Performance Hall calendars on the School of Music web-site for possible recital dates. The School will not permit a simultaneous ensemble performance in the Concert Hall and a recital performance in the Recital Hall. Concert times:
   • Monday-Friday: 6:00 and 7:30
   • Saturday and Sunday: 3:00, 4:30, 6:00 and 7:30
3. Complete the Recital Scheduling Form from the music web-site to officially schedule a recital. All wind and voice recitals will be in the Recital Hall; the percussion and piano recitals will be in the Concert Hall. A student performing a recital may have one two-hour dress rehearsal in the performance venue (2 two-hour rehearsals for percussion students) and must note that rehearsal date and time on the scheduling form. Additional rehearsal time in the venue may be arranged— depending upon the availability of the facility—by the respective applied teacher through the Music Office.
4. Obtain the permission/signatures required by the scheduling form.
5. Check with ALL faculty/committee members who will be evaluating your recital.
6. Submit the form to the Music Office no later than three weeks prior to event. Any changes to the event must be made at the earliest possible moment through the Music Office.
7. Please see the section on piano accompanists for information regarding accompanist fees.
8. Provide a check payable to the A&M-Commerce School of Music for $45 with the submission of the form, or use a credit card to pay through the campus Marketplace system. Students performing a recital must have the performance recorded using the School of Music's equipment and Recording Crew—an archival copy is required for accreditation and grade. The Music Office will provide a receipt to the student. Then, the student will give the receipt to the Recording Crew captain. Following the recital, the crew will provide both the student and the applied instructor one copy of the recording and will place another copy in the office archives.
9. If you plan a reception prior to or after the recital, provide a $50 deposit with the submission of the form. If the prep kitchen is clean with all utensils put away the following morning, the Department will return the deposit check. If not, the Music Office will cash the check.
10. Program information should be sent to School of Music no less than 14 days before the recital. Include ALL information required for program: composition titles, movement titles, composers, composer dates, additional musicians, instrument, date of recital, time of recital, degree or non-degree recital, and primary instructor(s) for recital material.
11. Program Notes: All program notes will be formatted and copied by the performer. The School of Music will not print program notes.
