Admission Requirements
Please see information on the School of Music Application Process. In addition:
MM woodwind candidates are required to submit a preliminary recording, in CD, DAT, or cassette format, for evaluation. Preliminary recordings must be received by January 1. All application materials must be complete before the audition. Please contact the major professor for more information. Applicants will be invited to campus for a live audition based on the preliminary CD and application materials. For the live audition, MM woodwind candidates should prepare to play a short recital consisting of works representing the major historical periods. The program should consist of 30 minutes of music, from which the audition committee will select excerpts.
The audition committee will also conduct a short interview of each candidate. Students should present a well balanced program consisting of music suitable for a senior undergraduate performance recital. Accompanist preferred, but not required. Applicants must include at least one contemporary piece. Candidates must audition in person and bring five copies of their recital program (not five copies of the scores), a comprehensive repertoire list and their resume to the audition. Saxophones: orchestral excerpts not required. Demonstration of interpretive jazz and improvisational skills, while not a requirement, is certainly welcome. Flutes, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons: three orchestral excerpts of varying styles are requested for ALL graduate auditions. Applicants are urged to apply as early as possible.
