Voice Audition Information

Auditions are required for admission to all graduate programs. Consult the audition requirements for your major. All auditions are evaluated by faculty members from the relevant departments. Westminster provides an accompanist for vocal auditions. Auditions are by appointment only and are limited to those who have submitted an application form and application fee. The application form and processing fee must be received at least three weeks prior to the selected audition date. Therefore, it is to your advantage to sign up early for an audition.
