Doctor of Musical Arts

Prescreening and Live Auditions:

For both the prescreening and the final live audition rounds, please present:

• A recital-length program of stylistically diverse works that are musically and technically challenging.
• Four (4) orchestral excerpts of your choice.

Recorded Prescreening Audition:

Collaborative pianists are encouraged but not required. Please record 5-10 minutes of each solo piece in one take without edits. If one of your selections is less than 5 minutes, please record the entire selection. If one of your selections is more than 10 minutes, please do not record the entire piece and instead select excerpts of the piece to perform. Orchestral excerpts should be recorded in one take without edits.

Final Audition:

Collaborative pianists are encouraged but not required. Applicants must arrange for their own pianists; the Admissions Office can provide a list of local collaborative pianists for hire.
