³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ

The minimum music entrance requirements are the equivalent of ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Conservatory Collegial I Instrument or Voice (Performance applicants: Collegial II) and Secondary V Theory and Ear Training.

The above listing is intended only as a general guide. Admissibility to any program is determined by audition and academic record. Students wishing to major in Performance should be approximately two years more advanced, and be able to demonstrate potential as performers at their audition.

All applicants in classical voice (all voice types) and in all jazz instruments, who select the on-campus audition option on their application form, will be required to submit screening video material for preselection by January 15. Following a review of these recordings, selected applicants will be invited to attend a live audition. No live audition will be scheduled in classical voice (all voice types) or in any jazz instrument until recordings have been received and reviewed. All applicants must perform an audition of approximately 15 minutes in duration. The student should choose material that will represent different musical periods and reveal musicianship and technical proficiency to best advantage.
