AUDITIONS & INTERVIEWS  
 
 

Undergraduate Requirements and Dates

All composition applicants must perform an audition on their principal instrument or voice. (Guidelines listed under the appropriate department as listed below). In addition, submit up to seven scores of your musical compositions with recordings of each work on indexed compact disc. We do not accept DVD, VHS or data CD's. All musical styles are welcome. All materials should be sent to the School of Music, Theatre & Dance Applications Coordinator, and must be received by December 1. Indicate on all materials your name, UMID, address, and the program to which you are applying. Send copies of your work rather than originals. Portfolios will not be returned unless a self-addressed stamped envelope is included, and we cannot be responsible in the event of loss or damage.

After a preliminary review of portfolios, a selected number of applicants will be invited for on-campus interviews and auditions.  Please indicate your preference for an audition/interview date on your application. Though an in-person interview is highly recommended, it is not required.  All applicants must perform an audition on their principal instrument or voice.

For candidates not living in the continental United States for whom the cost of a campus visit would be prohibitive, it is recommended that a telephone interview be arranged and a recorded audition be submitted.

Please bring a second copy of your scores to the composition interview on your confirmed Ann Arbor audition day to facilitate discussion of your work.
