| to add on to michael, we do not have cut. we have a vocal jury 7 or the 8 semesters at uarts (you don't do one your final semester) in which you have a list of all your voice lesson songs from the semester. all the voice faculty are there and you pick one song and then a teacher other than your own picks the second song for you to sing. they all write comments and feedback, which is always very useful..we also have formal evaluations with our acting studio teacher, voice and speech teacher, and the head of our MT program...there are 4 of these formal evaluations in total, one freshman year, 2 sophomore year, 1 junior year..
if students are not meeting the expected poor work ethic, their grade will not exactly let them continue on in the program, but it's not cutting them either. every semester, you have usually 3 core classes (for freshmen, it is Voice for Musical Theater, Voice Lesson, and Acting Studio). If someone gets below i believe a C- in either of those classes, they cannot continue on with their core classes for the semester and have to re-take that semester of core classes....they can still continue with other classes: dance classes, music skills, liberal arts, etc...i hope this helps! |
