Students planning to major or minor in music must audition before a panel of music faculty.  Unless otherwise specified, students will perform a selection of their choice before a group of music faculty. Students will also sightread a brief passage to be provided by the music faculty at the time of audition. Recorded auditions are accepted, although not recommended if a live audition is possible.

Music scholarships may be available for those who audition.

Piano Auditions: Perform two selections in the classical vein. Music should be memorized and of two contrasting styles. Your selection should adequately display your abilities and be appropriate to a university setting. You will also sightread a brief passage.

Percussion Auditions: Undergraduates - Graduates

Marching Band: The Tiger Marching Band does not require an audition, but it does require a separate application form.
