Except for the BA programs, every applicant for admission to the Faculty of Music is required to play an audition. Applicants are auditioned by two members of the faculty, and the audition will include a brief interview.
Practice rooms are available to applicants for warm-up prior to the audition.
Appli cants may provide their own accompanist, or arrange in advance to have one provided by the Faculty at the applicants expense. In some cases the test result will be used as one of the criterion for admission to the Faculty. All students in the Faculty of Music whose principal instrument is not piano are required to reach a level of proficiency in piano equivalent to Conservatory Grade VI by the end of First Year and prior to entry to Second Year. Applicants for whom piano is not the principal instrument and who have little or no knowledge of the piano are urged to prepare for the piano requirement as early as possible, preferably before admission to the Faculty. Piano proficiency is not tested at the audition.
