UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM

 

Entrance Auditions

Prospective freshmen must demonstrate appropriate performance proficiency. It is assumed that all applicants will have had a minimum of three years of private instrumental or vocal instruction, and that they can read music in both the treble and bass clefs, have a thorough knowledge of scales, chords, and arpeggios, and have the ability to read music at sight. Basic keyboard facility is highly desirable, as is solo, choral, orchestral, band, or stage experience. Transfer students should have had college-level private instrumental or vocal instruction; two years of music theory; the history of Western music; ear-training; sight-singing; sight-reading; and piano. Prospective graduate students should hold the B.A. or B.Mus. degree with a strong major in music.
