介绍

One of the responsibilities of any institution offering a graduate degree in music is to ascertain that entering students have an undergraduate level of competence in music history and theory. To that end, diagnostic examinations are administered prior to the first semester of graduate study. If, on the basis of those examinations, deficiencies are noted, remedial course work is assigned. 因为这些课程不计入你的学位, 考试取得好成绩是很重要的.

This study guide is intended to help you prepare for the examinations, 它列出了作曲家, 条款, and styles covered in standard undergraduate music history courses, and concepts and skills common to undergraduate theory training. 因此, 它可以被看作是一种广泛的记忆援助, 回忆起你已经知道的事情. The following comments are offered as suggestions on how to use the guide.

理论考试第一部分和第二部分的样题

Policy for Entrance Tests and Re-tests in 音乐的历史/Literature and 音乐理论

1. All entering graduate students must take tests in music history/literature and music theory before beginning their graduate work. 这条规则没有例外.
2. These tests are normally taken online during the summer before matriculation and are usually due on or around August 1. 学生 who enter the graduate program in January or in the summer must take the tests before enrolling in classes.
3. 学生 who pass these tests may enroll in graduate musicology and theory courses without restriction.
4. 学生 who fail part or all of these tests have two options:
   1. 学生可以参加补习课程来弥补不足. MuCT 5060 is required of those who fail the theory test; MuCT 5070 and/or MuCT 5080 are required of those who fail one or both portions of the history test.
   2. 学生 may elect to take re-tests in the areas of deficiency. Re-tests are given in the last week of September or the first week of October during the first semester of study, 取决于秋季学期的日历. 这些复试只能进行一次. 学生 who pass the re-tests are permitted to enroll in graduate musicology and/or theory courses without restriction. 学生 who fail the re-tests MUST take the appropriate remedial courses.
5. 学生 who fail most of the tests may wish to balance independent study with remedial course work. 因此, 一个学生, 在历史测试的基础上, 需要MuCT 5070和5080, may choose to take one of the courses and study the material of the other for a re-test. This decision should be made based on the schedule of course offerings, 这样学位的完成就不会受到阻碍.
