If you choose a Virtual Audition option, your audition process will be in two parts.
- Part 1 - Submission of video recordings of required repertoire in your MyMountaineer portal.
- Please review these guidelines for recording your audition videos. Your recordings are due one week before your chosen audition dates.
- Under extenuating circumstances, the student may choose a custom virtual audition date with our faculty. If so, the student should submit their videos one week before your arranged date.
- Part 2 - Online Zoom session (the Zoom link will be provided in advance of your audition day)
- You will perform your technique requirements for our faculty, sight-read* a short musical excerpt, and have a brief conversation with our faculty so that we can get to know you better.
- You will complete your aural skills assessments during the audition. The aural skills assessment will include pitch matching, singing a simple scale, a short memory recall of a melody, and rhythmic sight-reading.
- Music Education, Music Therapy, and Composition/Theory Students will complete their degree interview on this day.
- The Music Theory Placement Exam can be completed at home in advance.
*Since your sight-reading music will be shared with you during the online audition, it is important to use a computer or a tablet where you will be able to read the examples easily.
IMPORTANT - Change your Zoom Settings:
- Please review this guide on setting up your Zoom audio settings in preparation for your Zoom audition. Please change your settings in advance of your scheduled Zoom audition.
- Some Windows PC computers may still encounter audio issues after changing their settings as instructed. If so, please visit this Zoom's support page for additional instructions. A few days before your audition, it's a good idea to do a playing test with a friend or family member on Zoom to determine if there are any issues with your audio.
