School of Music Admission Requirements
Audition Requirements
- Prepare an audition of 45-55 minutes containing representative and major works of the repertoire.
- All piano solo works submitted for audition should be performed from memory.
- The only acceptable recorded audition will be of the auditioning student’s most recent degree recital, accompanied by a copy of the recital program.
- An on-campus audition is preferable; in the case of a recorded audition, full departmental admission will be granted only after the candidate has performed a live audition before the Keyboard Faculty during his/her first semester of study at UNC.
- In any case of discrepancy of performance quality between a candidate’s recorded and live audition, the live audition will prevail in considerations regarding candidacy of a given student to the keyboard degree program being sought.
- In all live auditions, faculty will examine the sight-reading skill of auditioning candidates. Master's auditioning candidates’ functional piano skills will also be tested in live auditions.
UNC Graduate School Requirements
Applicants must also apply to the University of Northern Colorado Graduate School. To apply, submit the following materials in a single packet along with the application fee. Failure to submit all required materials will delay the evaluation and screening of your application.
- $50 non-refundable application fee
