• Each audition piece, including multi-movement and cyclic works, must be recorded in one continuous, unedited take. 
• Video recording should be made with a camera in a single, fixed location so that the camera view is consistent. The camera should be focused on the performer, who must be visible at all times. If possible, please angle the camera so that the performer’s face, fingers and feet are all visible. 
• If at all possible, please set up the camera to the right of the pianist, limit background noise, and make sure the performance space is well lit. The entire keyboard should be visible. 
• Recordings of each piece must be unedited and should be uploaded to YouTube. The YouTube link(s) should then be added to your application on Slate. 
• Graduate applicants who would like to be considered for a graduate assistantship will be expected to sight-read during the synchronous interview with the piano faculty. For this reason, the applicants will need to have a working instrument (piano or keyboard) available during the interview.
