Undergraduate Auditions

1. Two solo pieces as follows:
   • The first solo selection should be in a slower tempo to demonstrate tone production, control, and phrasing;
   •  The second solo selection should be in a moderately quick to fast tempo to demonstrate
     dexterity and technical facility. Contrasting movements from the same piece are
     acceptable.
2. A technical study, etude, or comparable selection that best demonstrates your highest level of proficiency.

Sight reading may be required at the discretion of the faculty.

Graduate Pre-Screening

Piano accompaniment is preferred but not required. Prescreening recordings shall be evaluated equally, whether with accompaniment or without.

1. One movement of a standard solo work (concerto or sonata) or five to eight minutes from a single-movement work
2. One etude of the applicant's choice
3. Three standard orchestral excerpts from standard orchestra, wind band, chamber, or jazz literature.

If invited for a live audition, it is not necessary that the repertoire prepared for the audition be identical to the pre-screening materials.
