Applicants pursuing Jazz Bass must submit a prescreen by December 1. Prescreens are not required for applicants pursuing Classical String Bass.
Bassists may choose to perform either a classical or jazz audition. Applicants who wish to schedule both may do so. In order to apply and audition for both, please email musicadmissions@depaul.edu. For jazz applicants, please scroll to the bottom of this page and click the Jazz Bass drop-down box for audition requirements.
Successful applicants will be assigned to the applied studios within the category (classical or jazz) for which they have auditioned. If an applicant wishes to study in both the jazz and classical studios they must participate in both a classical and jazz audition. All bass auditions must be performed on a string bass. Bass guitars are not acceptable for the audition.
Please see the audition requirements below. Uploads must be video files. Audio files will not be accepted.
