School of Music Audition Process
Audition Process
A student that desires to become a music major must perform an Entrance Audition for acceptance into the School of Music.
- ______Prospective students must request a day to perform the audition. Auditions for wind, percussion, string, keyboard and vocal applicants are held on selected Saturdays throughout the year on the campus of Sam Houston State University. The dates available for School of Music audition are listed to the right.
We strongly encourage you to schedule an audition for one of the listed dates. Students who are unable to attend the audition days listed may not qualify for scholarship consideration. In the event you are absolutely unable to audition on one of the official audition days, each individual discipline may be able to schedule an on-campus audition by calling (936) 294-1360.
Please note: Due to the number of vocal applicants, private auditions are strongly discouraged and will only be held under special circumstances. - ______Audition selections should meet the criteria found on the Audition Material page.
- ______Prospective students must complete the Application for Admission and Scholarship at least five days prior to your audition day. The application MUST be reviewed before an audition date can be confirmed.
- ______It is important for prospective students to contact an applied music instructor from the appropriate area (Winds, Percussion, Strings, Voice, Keyboard). Introduce yourself to the instructor, ask any questions you have related either to the entrance audition or about studying music at Sam Houston State University.
- ______This audition doubles as the audition for a scholarship award. If applying for a School of Music scholarship, the student must have three people fill out and send in a Scholarship Recommendation Form. Go to the Music Scholarships web page for more information on scholarships.
