Audition Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Students who wish to enroll as music majors may audition for admission and scholarships at any time. The audition consists of one solo of your choosing, a brief interview with the voice faculty, and exercises to assess your musicianship. You may either sing with your accompanist, a CD, or our staff accompanist, Dr. Daeun Kim. We do not require selections in languages other than English, but ask that you sing a solo comparable to those found on the U.I.L. Prescribed Music List (art songs or arias). Auditions are conducted throughout the spring semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students may audition on the dates listed below or schedule a weekday audition. Students who would like to observe our ensembles in rehearsal and meet with all members of the voice faculty are encouraged to audition on a weekday.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
