All applicants for admission to the first year courses in Music Performance and applicants new to the University of Waikato normally are required to attend in person for an audition-interview. The 2002 application form, duly completed and signed, must be returned to the Music Department at the address given below as soon as possible. You will then receive a letter advising you of your audition-interview time. Please prepare a short programme of TWO contrasting pieces lasting not more than fifteen minutes. The interview will include ear tests, sight reading and a short discussion with the interviewing panel.
Accompaniment is the responsibility of the student.
Successful candidates selected by audition will be required to enrol for the BMus degree at the University of Waikato. Details of the BMus degree are enclosed. Piano candidates will automatically be considered for the Lili Kraus Scholarship, singers for the Cathedral Scholarship, and full-time graduate students for the Kirby Bursary.
