You are responsible for working all of your scheduled shifts, and except in the case of sudden illness or emergency, the burden of finding a sub when you can't work falls on you. Failure to show up on time for a scheduled daytime shift (Mon-Fri 9-5), without prior notification or extenuating circumstances, will result in a verbal warning (1st offense), a written warning (2nd offense), or termination (3rd offense). Missing a shift after 5:00 pm or on a weekend, without prior notification or extenuating circumstances, may result in immediate termination. Students whose employment at the Music Library has been terminated for cause are not eligible for employment at Boatwright Library.

If you experience a sudden illness or emergency and can't report to work, please notify BOTH Linda AND Melanie as soon as possible. 

Because the University considers student employees to be "casual employees," they are not eligible to be paid for shifts lost due to unexpected campus closures (inclement weather, power outages, etc).  At the supervisor's discretion, such students may be offered additional work shifts to make up for those that were lost.

Music courses for fall 2024 are:

There are also two First-Year Seminars being taught by Music faculty:

Poetry and Music (Prof. Becker)
From the River Jordan to Jazz (Dr. Crutcher)
 

The Music Library has a large collection of recordings of Music Department concerts dating from the 1950s to the present, on CD, cassette tape, DAT tape, LP record, and mp3. These recordings were made by the Music Department's technology staff and new ones are generally shared with us between a few days and a few weeks after a performance. Many of the older recordings are in the library catalog, but the newer ones (mostly digital files) are not.

If someone wants to listen to a recording of a historical Music Department performance, first check in the catalog, but if you don't find it, send the person to Linda. In many cases these recordings are unique copies, and therefore they must be listened to on site (no checkouts).

The Music Library is working on converting selected Music Department concert recordings to streaming audio files available to current students, faculty, and staff.  Some student employees will be assigned to work on this project.

An archive of printed programs for about 1,500 Music Department concerts is available here

We sometimes get calls from parents looking for a music teacher for their children. Please refer all such calls to the Music Department (289-8277).

If a student asks about renting an instrument for lessons or ensembles, direct them to the Music Department office on the first floor of Booker Hall.
