Please read this page carefully as changes have been made to update our prospective students: updated on 05-01-2020
DUE TO THE CURRENT AND UNPRECEDENTED SITUATION, WE ARE REMINDING ALL AUDITIONEES TO PLEASE MAKE SURE TO CAREFULLY READ THE AUDITION GUIDELINES. IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE MEETING ANY OF THE REQUIREMENTS, PLEASE REACH OUT TO US SO THAT WE CAN HELP IN FINDING A RESOLUTION.
The audition at Southwestern serves as both a formal audition into the Music major and an audition for the Sarofim Scholarship in Music. For non-majors, it serves as the audition for a performance award. Your audition will be a live virtual audition via google meetups. It will help you get acquainted with the Sarofim School of Fine Arts, learn more about the music programs and ensemble participation offered, and introduce you to the Music Department faculty.
All Music Auditions have three steps
- Register for an audition
- Fill out the Audition Application Form
- Audition
The following 2019/2020 audition requirements will be waived due to COVID-19:
