Audition

The application process for Music Studies always includes the audition. From this topic you will learn the basic audition requirements for undergraduate and graduate applicants.

Of course, audition requirements always depend on the university and chosen program, but the basic scheme is similar for all universities and schools.

Audition can be conducted in two formats: in-person audition or online audition. Most universities let applicants choose the most appropriate format. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages. In-person audition will not be affected by bad video or audio quality, but online audition is faster and easier, in addition, you will not have to spend money on a return ticket in case of your failure. That is why most universities, such as the University of New Orlean, strongly recommend to choose online audition.

What to play?

Usually applicants are allowed to choose the program by themselves. Applicants should present those musical selections that are best representative of their work. The total amount of time for audition is usually five minutes, and applicants are expected to play or sing two musical selections.
