All graduate applicants in music must submit a completed application online to the Graduate School of the University of Connecticut. Other information and materials are required by the Department of Music depending upon the particular degree sought by the applicant. Please see http://music.uconn.edu/graduate-handbook/admissions for complete information about all graduate programs and their requirements.

Graduate Pre-Screening and Audition Procedures

As part of their application materials, Performer’s Certificate (PC), Master’s (MM), and Doctoral (DMA) program applicants must also upload pre-screening recordings to Slate (the Graduate School’s application portal). Applicants currently enrolled in a degree program at UConn are not required to submit pre-screening recordings. 

Please note that if, after review of your completed application, the Admissions Committee for your intended program decides to invite you to audition, you will be contacted by the faculty member chairing that committee to arrange an individual audition time. If you are invited to audition, the live audition is a requirement for admission, even for international students. The general audition dates that appear on the website audition page are for applicants at the *undergraduate* level, not the graduate level. The one exception to this procedure is the Voice area, which does allow graduate applicants to schedule auditions, subject to availability, on the undergraduate audition days.

For pre-screening and audition requirements, please go to Audition Requirements. 

Video Format and Pre-Screening Considerations

You are required to upload your files in a video format. Typical file types include:

.avi, .flv, .m1v, .m2v, .m4v, .mkv, .mov, .mpeg, .mpg, .mp4, .webm, .wmv

• Videos filmed in a practice room, a living room, a concert hall, a recording studio, or any other setting may be submitted. 
• Recordings must be performed by you. 
• Recordings must not be edited. Please do not add “reverb” or other enhancements. 
• Review your recordings for any distortion, ensure they are of good quality and are representative of your best performance to date. 
• If an accompaniment is utilized, check for proper balance so that you are heard
