Composition Portfolio Information

​

​

Composition (BM)

l  Composers must submit a portfolio of compositions that is representative of their work. An audio recording can be uploaded with your compositions to the link at the bottom of this page. There is a $10 fee to use this service.

l  To establish the applicant's musical ability and background, applicants must also demonstrate proficiency on a musical instrument by submitting an audio recording with a performance by the applicant of two contrasting works from the standard repertoire.

You will be notified by the Music Admissions Office if your portfolio has passed the preliminary round. A visit to the campus should be scheduled during late January or early February.

Any questions regarding your application may be directed to Phyllis Smith.
