All undergraduate applicants to the School of Music, regardless of intended major, are required to audition. Although the auditions are competitive and extremely important, you'll find the setting relaxed and the audition itself an interesting and rewarding experience. Undergraduates will be required to complete a short theory placement exam following their audition.
All woodwind auditions should be performed on the principal instrument of each woodwind family: flute, oboe, Bb/A clarinet, bassoon, and alto saxophone.
Students wishing to major in Jazz Studies or participate in jazz performing groups much complete BOTH a classical and a jazz audition. The only exception to this rule is for students auditioning on jazz guitar. Please inform the Admissions Office if you plan to perform a jazz audition.
Jazz audition requirements can be found on the same page as the classical audition requirements listed.
