Audition Repertoire
Admission auditions are required in the major/primary area of performance for all students wishing to pursue undergraduate or graduate degrees in music. Entrance auditions normally are completed during the year preceding the initial enrollment at OU during School of Music “Audition Days.” All requests for exceptions to this procedure should be addressed directly to the applied faculty in the student’s area of study AND by contacting the School of Music Office.
Voice instructor auditions: All voice majors, voice primaries, and voice secondaries who have not auditioned for the voice faculty during a previous semester must audition for instructor assignments during the first week of classes. Instruction auditions take place during the first week of classes each semester. Sign up for an audition time on the voice faculty bulletin board on the third floor of Carpenter Hall on Monday morning of the first week of class. The sign-up sheet may be available late the previous week.
Ensemble Auditions: Auditions for placement in ensembles including OU Symphony Orchestra, Wind Symphony, Symphony Band, Concert Band, Choirs, Jazz Ensembles, and other ensembles take place during the first week of classes. Students should check bulletin boards of the appropriate faculty studios and rehearsal halls for sign-up sheets and for audition materials during the week prior to the beginning of classes.
Group piano placement takes place at the time of initial advising and enrollment, usually though University College. Transfer students who enroll through the fine arts college should see Dr. Barbara Fast in the School of Music. The proficiency exam is a part of the final exam for Group Piano Level IV. Music majors wanting to enroll in private piano lessons may do so upon completion of Group Piano Level IV or by placing out all four levels of Group Piano.
