Audition Information

Students pursuing a degree in music are required to complete an audition for acceptance into their desired music specialization area. This audition process is separate from those held for the ³Ô¹ÏÍø choral and instrumental groups. Students must exhibit demonstrated potential for a successful career in Music Education or Music Industry through basic proficiency on their chosen instrument and provide verification of solo or ensemble experience. Additionally, a diagnostic theory entrance examination is given for placement into the proper theory class for transfer students. All majors complete a sophomore examination.

For Spring Semester
