Auditions

Your audition with the School of Music is crucial. It serves as an application to the School. It is also a contributing factor in scholarship considerations.

An audition is required for acceptance into all music degree programs and scholarship consideration. Information on audition procedures and requirements are found on the KU School of Music Auditions Page. The suggested compositions are indications of musical styles and levels of difficulty for prospective undergraduate student auditions. Compositions of comparable difficulty are acceptable. If you have doubts about substitute pieces, you may contact the appropriate faculty member.
