There is an application process that must take place prior to auditioning. Please carefully follow all of the steps listed on the application and audition process page.

Prospective composition students are asked to submit a portfolio of original compositions-scores (and recordings, if available) and a brief biography. Please be advised that you will have separate auditions for band, orchestra or chorus scholarships.
