Auditions

Students wishing to major in music must audition to be admitted into the Music Department. Your audition will also act as a scholarship audition, making you eligible for music scholarships. 
​
​Make sure to audition before March 1 to ensure there are music scholarships remaining! You do not need to major in music to receive a music scholarship, but you must audition to be considered.  

​The audition dates for next year are:  
Saturday, January 28, 2023
​                                                                    Saturday, March 11, 2023

​
Auditions can also be scheduled on an individual basis if you are not available for one of the audition dates. Feel free to email Dr. Leitterman to set up an audition or register here!
