A wide variety of performance opportunities await our students each year, with orchestras, bands, choirs and opera, jazz nonets and combos, small ensembles, and more.
A variety of programs and initiatives operate continuously or annually to enhance learning experiences and help students prepare for their future in music.
The MSU College of Music supports and challenges students, values innovation and creativity, and helps every community member achieve professional excellence.
Applicants should plan to be available from 8:00 a.m. to about 6:00 p.m. on their audition day. Many applicants arrive in East Lansing the evening before their audition to attend campus concerts or recitals of interest.
Applicants will be given their individual schedules and an estimated audition time two weeks before their audition date.
During the audition day there are a number of activities designed to introduce you to the College of Music community and give us a better idea of your musical abilities.
If a conflict arises and you can no longer attend the audition day for which you are confirmed, please contact the College of Music Admissions Office immediately. Due to the volume of audition requests, rescheduling an audition is difficult if significant advance notice is not provided. Those who fail to attend a scheduled audition without notifying us in advance will not be rescheduled.
