Music Resource Center
General Information
At the heart of our thriving music community is the Music Resource Center (MRC). A depot of performance and study materials for music majors, the MRC boasts a robust collection of scores, parts, and media materials (LPs, CDs, Videos, and DVDs) that help to positively augment the curricular offerings at CSU East Bay. This office also coordinates room scheduling and handles concert and student recital scheduling and printed program production.

Music majors within the performance path are required to perform a recital each academic year. These recitals may include Noon Recitals, Studio Recitals, and Degree Recitals according to the student’s applied level, and are scheduled through the MRC.
Noon Recital |
A recital performance on the Tuesday/Thursday University Hour Noon Recital series sponsored by the Department. |
Studio Recital |
A recital performance scheduled by the student’s applied music instructor that includes other students from the applied music instructor's studio. |
Degree Recital |
A recital performance scheduled by the student in coordination with their applied music instructor that acts as public verification of level 3 competency (junior level) or level 4 competency (senior level). |
Ad Hoc Recital |
A recital performance scheduled by the student that does not qualify as a Noon Recital, Studio Recital, or Degree Recital. Ad Hoc and Ensemble recitals do not count towards a fulfillment of the recital requirement. This includes recitals scheduled as part of courses outside of the student’s applied music course. |
Important information on recital requirements and how to schedule them can be found in the Music Major Handbook.
