In addition to the required transcripts and recommendations, each applicant to the master's program or the doctoral program must demonstrate by scores and tapes of original music and by interview, when requested, the qualities of mind, the gift, the technical resources, and the musical maturity requisite to graduate study in composition. Each applicant is required to submit examples of several scores, with separate cassette tape recordings of each score, for review by the Composition faculty.
All musical styles are welcome.
Applicants to the M.Mus. Indicate your name, address, and the specific program for which you are applying on all materials so that they may be returned when the evaluation has been completed. Send copies of your work rather than originals because we cannot guarantee their return and cannot be responsible in the event of loss or damage. This session is optional and not required for admission. This audition has no impact on your admission to the Composition program.
