Auditions and Music Scholarships Information
Auditions
Students interested in majoring in music come to the university with a variety of musical backgrounds; for this reason, if you are a prospective music major (freshman or transfer), you are required to have an entrance audition so that you can be placed in the proper music courses. The audition ensures that:
1) you are registered in the proper levels of music theory, aural skills, and principal instrument; and;
2) you receive a recommendation from the faculty as to your potential to succeed in your chosen music program.
