School of Music, Theatre & Dance Graduate Audition Requirements and Dates
 ALL Graduate voice applicants MUST audition in Ann Arbor to receive merit award consideration.
Pre-screening Requirement (updated June 16, 2008)
Applicants to the Master of Music in Voice Performance or the Specialist in Music in Voice Performance must submit by December 1 an unedited recording (DVD or CD, DVD preferred) of four vocal selections for preliminary examination before an audition will be scheduled. Please include one (and only one) operatic aria, one 20th century work, one (and only one) oratorio aria, and one additional song of the applicant's choosing. Clearly label the recording as pre-screening. Recordings should be sent to the Auditions Coordinator, Kate Harkness, in the Office of Admissions and Student Services.
Upon a favorable evaluation of this recording, your resume, repertoire list, and undergraduate transcripts, an audition may be scheduled.
The pre-screening recording requirement is waived for current University of Michigan undergraduate voice majors applying to the M.M. program, or current University of Michigan graduate voice majors applying to the Specialist in Music program..
In-person Audition Requirements:
Master of Music, Performance and Specialist in Music, Performance
Prepare four selections in differing styles including a work in English, French, German, and Italian. Of the four selections, only one operatic or one oratorio aria will be permitted. One selection must have been written after 1940.
- Additionally, prepare eight measures of secco recitative (i.e., simple, with minimal accompaniment) from an 18th century opera or oratorio in one of the four languages above.
- Memorization of all works, including the aria, is required.
You are encouraged to provide your own accompanist, though a School of Music, Theatre & Dance accompanist will be provided in Ann Arbor if requested in advance.
