Composition Audition Information
BM, BME, and minor
Auditioning prospective B.M. students should be fully conversant in the reading and writing of music. B.M. candidates are expected to demonstrate some knowledge of 20th Century music, including post-war music (music written since 1945). Scores consisting of a variety of instrumentations are strongly encouraged. For B.M. candidates however, an orchestral score is not required. Three scores – but no more than three – should be uploaded to the application, along with all recordings. Please be sure to clearly indicate the names of the compositions. Acoustic performances are strongly encouraged but not required. MIDI performances are acceptable. Instrumental proficiency (the applicant’s ability to play an instrument) is not required, but strongly encouraged.
