Admittance to the Program Prospective students who are interested in pursuing a major or minor in music should arrange for an on-campus visit and a brief audition.

Prospective music students are also encouraged to apply for music major scholarships and fine arts scholarships, which are awarded each year. Students who declare a music or music education major are requested to do so in consultation with the department chair. Individual Performance Progress Assessment In order to support the primacy of performance in all music majors, students must exhibit musical performance competency on a musical instrument or voice, as demonstrated in a jury the fall semester of the sophomore year. Students will also field questions in the jury that demonstrate a fundamental theoretical and historical knowledge of their art that informs performance, as defined by the applied faculty of individual performance areas (keyboard, string, voice, and winds/brass/percussion).
