Wind Conducting Prescreening
Master of Music
To be considered for admission to the Master of Music degree program in music conducting, an applicant must present a live performance audition before a committee of faculty in conducting. The audition must be in the major area of conducting that the applicant specifies.
Applicants to the master’s program in wind conducting must submit a video of the applicant in rehearsal and performance. The video should be no longer than 20 minutes in length. Upload the videos to the Digital Portfolio section of the College of Music Supplemental Application. You will be given access to the Digital Portfolio after the College of Music Supplemental Application is submitted.
After reviewing all applicants’ materials, we will invite finalists to campus in early February for a live audition with the Wind Symphony. Based on the live auditions, acceptances will be awarded. Live audition repertoire will vary from year to year. The audition will also include an assessment of functional keyboard and of solo instrumental proficiency.
The deadline is December 1.
