Auditions are required for all incoming music majors and minors prior to admission to the Department of Music. All auditioning students should be prepared to demonstrate the technical skills applicable to their area of performance, such as scales and vocalizes. Students will be expected to perform two contrasting pieces of music. Representative pieces can be studies, etudes, Class A contest solos, etc.
Accompaniment is optional for instrumentalists, but required for vocalists.
Vocalists are encouraged to bring their own accompanist. Warm-up rooms are available throughout the audition day. During the audition day, the Department Chair and faculty representing all performing areas will be available to answer any questions you or your parents may have. Audition committees consist of two to five professors in your major performance area.
