[ Scholarships ] In accordance with University selective admissions standards, undergraduate music majors who wish to circumvent provisional status and become fully accepted by the School of Music are required to present a audition for the faculty. The audition consists of a performance audition and a music theory placement test. Preparation for the performance component would include a prepared selection, etudes, and scales (if appropriate), and sight reading. Those interested in jazz studies would also be expected to demonstrate improvisation skills. Within the audition, faculty are interested in assessing the student's aptitude for success in the desired program. All undergraduate concentrations (including music education) require a senior recital.The requirements for the audition vary depending on the instrument area.
