Admission Requirements

Auditions (Instrumentalists and Vocalists)

A successful music audition on a primary applied instrument or voice is required for admission to the Bachelor of Music in Music Education, Bachelor of Music in Performance, Bachelor of Arts in Music (General), the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre, and the minor in music. Audition requirements and an audition application are available at www.ut.edu/music/prospective/. For assistance and additional information contact music.audition@ut.edu.

Admission (Music Technology Concentration)

A performance audition is not required for admission to the Bachelor of Arts in Music (Music Technology) degree program; instead, prospective/continuing student applicants must submit a personal statement describing their interest in music technology and/or a sample of their original work as a music technologist. Prospective student applicants with performance skill may also complete a performance audition for music scholarship consideration.

Transfer Students

Transfer students who plan to audition for the Bachelor of Music in Music Education or the Bachelor of Music in Performance degree programs, and who have completed four semesters of applied lessons in their primary performance area, should demonstrate performance competency equivalent to the requirements of the Upper Division Performance Evaluation. Transfer students can obtain a list of these requirements in advance of their audition by contacting music.audition@ut.edu.
