Music Major Audition Requirements:

 

AUDITIONS for Music Majors

 

Students intending to major in Music or Music Education should prepare two pieces in contrasting style on their primary instrument.  For singers, this might include an art song and a folksong or aria.  For instrumentalists this may include standard works, etudes or extended excerpts from concertos.  Typically, the repertoire prepared for an audition would be similar to music prepared for state solo and ensemble festivals.  Solos do not have to be memorized. An accompanist may be made available upon request, however students may choose to perform without accompaniment.

 

Musical Theatre students should prepare two standard musical theatre solos.

 

 

AUDITION DATES for Music Majors

 

Students are encouraged to make an appointment to audition for the Music Department on one of the following college visitation days:

 

September 22, 2007

November 10, 2007

December 8, 2007

February 16, 2008

March 8, 2008

 

Students may register for one of these visitation days by calling the Admissions Department at 517-265-5161.

 

If a student is unable to attend one of the above audition/visitation days, then an audition by appointment is recommended.  To make an appointment outside of the visitation day schedule, please call the chair of the department, Tom Hodgman, at 517-264-3925.

 

The audition for the music major will also count as an audition for the Music Scholarship.

 

PLACEMENT EXAMS for Music Majors

 

Students who have music theory skills and/or ear training (solfege - dictation) skills are encouraged to request a theory or ear training placement exam during Orientation Week in August prior to registering for their freshman classes.  Students with keyboard skills are encouraged to take the keyboard placement exam at that time as well.
