MUSIC BUSINESSThe Division of Music at Jacksonville University is dedicated to providing excellent programs of study in Music with the infusion of a strong liberal arts education. The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree with a concentration in Music Business is a generalist degree, where students are required to complete an option in management or music technology, while curtailing the amount of study required on instruction of their primary instrument. This degree prepares students for careers in the music business or for further advanced study.

The B.S. in Music Business features coursework in Music and Intellectual Property Law; Artist and Concert Management; Record Company Operations; and Music Entrepreneurship. The degree also includes ensemble opportunities varying in size and scope; instruction in standard music core subjects such as music theory, aural skills and music history. The 12-credit concentration in Music Technology features courses including Film Scoring, Acoustics and Recording and Songwriting and Record Production. The alternate 12-credit concentration in Management include course from the Davis College of Business such as Leadership, and Information Technology.

The faculty includes performers, record producers, composers and conductors with years of accomplishments in their field, with experience with major ensembles, or in jazz or commercial venues and recordings.

Jacksonville University has been an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) since 1931.

COURSE LISTINGS

Generally, all instrumentalists and vocalists auditioning will need to prepare:

• Two selections in contrasting styles from the standard, collegiate-level, audition appropriate literature (or one longer work) that best display musical accomplishments.

• Major scales, chromatic scales, and arpeggios will most likely be requested, as well as sight-reading. Instrumentalists are not required to perform with accompaniment.

• IMPORTANT: self-composed selections are not appropriate for college auditions, unless you are submitting them for review for collegiate-level entrance into the BM in Composition and Theory degree program.

Candidates audition before a music faculty committee that will evaluate technique, musicianship, tone quality, and sight-reading ability. An accompanist will be provided at no charge for on-site vocal auditions for scheduled audition days.
