The purpose of the audition is to assess your current skill level and determine the best placement for you within our programs. The specific requirements for each audition vary depending on the course or ensemble you're auditioning for. Generally, you'll be asked to perform a prepared piece of music, demonstrate technical proficiency, and answer questions about your musical background and goals.
