Audition Info

The audition is the single most important factor in admission to the Conservatory. All applicants except those intending to major in composition must audition on their principal instrument. For composition and electronic and computer music (TIMARA) applicants, compositions, recordings, and other supporting materials must be submitted. In addition, TIMARA applicants audition on their principal instrument for members of the TIMARA faculty.

Audition Sites
Auditions take place on campus and at regional audition sites throughout the country. Personal auditions are expected of all applicants who live within 600 miles of campus or within 200 miles of a regional audition site. If neither of these options is possible, a recorded audition may be submitted.

Audition Requests

Auditions are scheduled as part of the Unified Application for Music and Performing Arts Schools process and will be confirmed upon its submission. Please note that the application deadline is December 1 (November 1 for Early Review). No audition will be scheduled without submission of The Unified Application for Music and Performing Arts Schools.

The Unified Application for Music and Performing Arts Schools contains complete instructions.
