If a student's accompanist is not able to attend the audition, an accompanist will be provided if advance notice is given. Performance with an accompanist is desirable but not required. In addition, students should be prepared to play all major scales and a chromatic scale for the practical range of their instrument. Students who wish guidance in choosing appropriate audition material are encouraged to contact the department well in advance of their audition date. This is a placement audition and specific repertoire is not required.
Memorization is required.
Prospective organ majors should have a strong piano background. Previous organ study is not required and students may audition on piano or organ.
