The live audition may be in person or virtual and includes an introductory session, an interview with the corresponding music program director and the audition itself.

All applicants (except applicants to BA in Music, Music Industry Studies Emphasis) must audition on their primary instrument (guitar, percussion, piano, strings, vocal, woodwinds or brass).

Applicants to the following programs must submit additional materials:

  • BA in Music, Music and Culture Emphasis.
  • BA in Music, Music Industry Studies Emphasis.
  • BM in Composition.
  • BM (Pre-Music Education Certification).

Applicants for the BA in Music, Music Industry Studies Emphasis will do an interview rather than a live audition.

Live audition requirements are the same as listed for the Pre-Screen Audution Video in the Creative Suppelement. See the specific audition requirements for your chosen instrument or voice on our Creative Supplement page.
