Students must complete these requirements in addition to an audition on a principle instrument or voice following the guidelines listed by the appropriate performance department.
Applicants should have an extensive background in performance and composition, college coursework in music theory with no grades less than a "B," and a background in a keyboard instrument. Freshman applicants without college credits in music theory should not apply as a Music Theory major. School of Music, Theatre & Dance students should apply after completing the music theory core curriculum for their particular degrees.
All applicants should submit two or three examples of English writing and one of either of the following: an original composition or a musical analysis. Send these written materials to the School of Music, Theatre & Dance Office of Admissions at least six (6) weeks before the desired audition date.
The audition day will include individual appointments for a keyboard harmony exam, a theory exam on part-writing and analysis, and an audition on your principal instrument or voice.
