Student Recital Programs

Program Production

Submissions must be made in a Word document using the Student Program Template, or will not be processed by the Main Office. Students should review their program with their faculty prior to submitting to the Main Office for formatting and printing.

Student is responsible for:

• Names of performers and associated instruments
• Time/date/location of performance
• Type of recital (grad, undergrad…required/non-required)
• Degree information – past and present with dates
• Names of pieces
• Names of movements
• Names of composers
• Composers’ birth/death dates

Program Printing Timeline

• Submit a digital Microsoft Word file using the template included in the email from the College of Music. Submit your program to the Main Office at programs@music.msu.edu, at least 2 weeks prior to your recital date.
• If you choose NOT to use the Main Office for your program, you must inform the main office, and submit a copy of your program within 2 business days of your recital.
• The Main Office will email you within 2 business days, when a printed program proof is ready for you to pick up.
• Your printed program proof will have a faculty approval form attached to it.
• You must obtain approval from faculty that your program either needs corrections, or is okay to print as is.
• If faculty determines corrections need to be made, you must clearly indicate all changes on the program proof at least 3 business days prior (business days are Mon-Fri) to your recital date. Anything submitted less than 3 business days may not be printed, due to time constraints.
• If only minor changes are needed, we will print your program, and email you when they are ready for you to pick up.
• If substantial changes are required, we will email you when your “corrected proof” is ready to be picked up.
• The Main Office is open Mon-Fri 8am-5pm.  Please make arrangements to pick up your program during office hours before your recital.
