AUDITION INFORMATION All Department of Music applicants must complete an admission audition in their applied area of study. To be admitted to the Department of Music, applicants must meet the minimum standards in applied music through the placement audition. Audition dates are listed in the back of this book. AUDITION APPOINTMENTS Audition appointments are obtained by submission of the Department of Music application. A preliminary confirmation will be sent to applicants within four weeks following receipt of the Department of Music application. Confirmation of the audition time will be sent to applicants a minimum of two weeks prior to the requested audition date. Please do not make travel arrangements until this confirmation is received. The Department of Music begins accepting applications on August 1; the priority deadline to submit the Department of Music application is February 28.

If a live audition cannot be arranged, a recorded audition will be accepted only when approved by the department chair. Although a recorded audition may be granted, admittance to the department may require the student to reaffirm their placement with a live audition once on campus. Recorded auditions must meet certain standards of quality; for details, please visit our website.
