You have the option to prepare for any of the audition levels, but are only required to meet the “All Other Majors and Music Minor” audition requirements. Please contact 
Conservatory Student Services to schedule an audition.
3. meet with the music therapy faculty for an interview and assessment of functional music skills. You will be expected to:
- a) Sing and accompany yourself with piano and/or guitar. You may use sheet music or a lead sheet. You should prepare 2 contrasting pieces from traditional or contemporary musical styles.
- b) Sing an American folk song from memory.
If you are unable to arrange for a campus interview/assessment because of distance, you will be expected to audio or video tape your musical skills assessment, as well as complete a telephone interview.
