MISSION: Notre Dame College, a Catholic institution in the tradition of the Sisters of Notre Dame,
educates a diverse population in the liberal arts for personal, professional, and global responsibility.
COURSE RATIONAL: The study of music and/or theater demonstrates an understanding of the
performance arts, furthering the ability to develop lifelong creativity and critical thinking abilities to a
major degree program. Non-performance courses in music and theater meet the institution’s core
curriculum as a creative inquiry.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course will introduce the student to advanced concepts of performance on their individual
instrument. These will include pedagogy, practice habits and techniques, history, repertoire, famous
performers, and more.
COLLEGE POLICIES:
• Personal Responsibility. Please take personal responsibility for your work and your future. You
need to work diligently in your classes, plan ahead for assignments and exams, and do your best.
These are probably the most portable set of expectations that will transfer into your future
professional world. Therefore, as the instructor I have the following expectations of all students:
1
• Academic Dishonesty
o Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to the following: 1) the completion or
attempted completion of any academic work by means other than those permitted; and 2)
the alteration of a document relating to the grading process, including changing an
instructor’s grade book, or changing answers on a test after the time to complete the test
is over.
o Examples of academic dishonesty include but are not limited to: unauthorized
collaboration, copying another student’s answers, unauthorized aids on a test, using
purchased or pre-made term papers, plagiarism, and destroying another student’s work.
o Plagiarism occurs when an individual presents the ideas, thoughts, or words of another as
his or her own. Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, using phrases, sentences, or
ideas from a published source, including the internet, without citing that source,
representing another’s unpublished work as your own, rewriting or paraphrasing the work
of another without giving credit to that person by citation, submitting a paper as one’s
own work that has been copied, in whole or in part, from another’s work.
o Generally, the individual faculty member decides on sanctions for acts of academics
honestly; such decisions do not preclude further disciplinary action under college judicial
procedures. Those penalties include but are not limited to failure on the specific
assignment, failure in the course, and the establishment in the Office of Academic Affairs
on a plagiarism file for the offending student, which includes an Incident of Plagiarism
document detailing the offense.
COURSE POLICIES:
Attendance Policy
• Students are expected to attend every scheduled lesson.
• Because lessons are one-on-one appointments with the instructor the time of the lesson may
change based on the needs of the student or instructor with prior communication 24 hours in
advance.
Communication Policy
• It is the student’s responsibility to check their email daily and respond within 24 hours.
• All communication outside of class should be sent to JRowan@ndc.edu. All emails from students
will be answered within 24 hours.
2
• A “class” will be created using the application “Remind”. Each student is required to download
the free application and join to facilitate easier and faster communication.

o Practice Ethical Inquiry: Investigate and apply ethical reasoning in decision-making
using ethical principles, including Catholic social teaching.

Required Books and Musical Expectations By Semester
This is a list of the skills and sources each student is expected to have. Because this list is new for the
Spring of 2019, those who have taken lessons for any number of semesters before this will still begin with
the skills expected of a first semester lesson student until adequate facility of those skills is demonstrated.
For any student taking private lessons, they may pass beyond the skills for their semester and move to
later semesters at the instructor’s discretion. Books marked with a star are in the public domain and may
be printed and bound by the student to save costs. These books are required for each lesson beyond the
first of each semester. Points will be deducted from each lesson’s total if the student has not purchased or
printed the required books. The instructor will help to find sources to purchase copies of the books in
digital and/or electronic form at the lowest cost possible.
