Voice Audition Information

Prescreening & Live Audition Repertoire Requirements

All applicants must complete a prescreening video according to their program (instrument, voice or composition.) Prescreening requirements are the same regardless of your specific major of interest. For example: all voice applicants will follow the vocal requirements below no matter what they plan to major in (Music Education, Performance, Integrated Studies, or along the Musical Arts degree.) Once the admissions process is complete, admitted students will notify us of their intended specific major. You can learn more about these majors here.
