Auditions

The audition for the Division of Piano serves as an application to the School of Music. It is also a contributing factor in undergraduate student scholarship and graduate student teaching assistantship considerations. Piano scholarships are awarded only to students who enroll in the four-year BM degree in piano performance. For more information on KU School of Music Auditions, click here.
