The first step is to schedule your time. Early Admission candidates must audition by December 8 and 9. The dates printed above are our primary audition days when the entire faculty will be present to hear you. If you cannot be present on one of those days, notify our office, and we will try to schedule an alternate time for you. When you come to the audition, you will also be taking placement tests in music theory and piano, so we can put you in the most appropriate classes when you come in the fall.
