An audition will be required, preferably on-campus, and should consist of at least 2 solo works of contrasting style demonstrating ability and knowledge (about 10 minutes worth of music). A letter of recommendation from your music instructor, with contact information provided, is also necessary. Send copies of accompaniment music ahead of time.
