Studio Lesson Placement Auditions

All students are required to audition in order to qualify for placement in studio lessons. Auditions are normally 8-10 minutes in length. Students should select material for the audition which best demonstrates their abilities. 

At one of three times during the academic year, you may audition for placement in a Studio. At these times, we can also arrange for auditions for the Bachelor of Music programs for current students wishing to move into a BM program.  See Auditions / Bachelor of Music program for more information.

The auditions take place at the following time:

• Fall Semester: Week Zero
• End of Fall Semester: During Juries (Finals Week, Fall)
• End of Spring Semester: During Juries (Finals Week, Spring)

Placement auditions for Fall semester studios will be held during Week Zero (in the days before classes begin, TBD). Auditions for Spring semester studios will be held during finals week of the Fall semester, during juries. In order to continue in studio, students must qualify at their jury each semester.
