Auditions and kōrero

Please select a time for your music audition or music kōrero related to the major(s) you are interested in. All sessions are conducted in a 30-minute Zoom call. You will receive an email with additional information about your session before your scheduled appointment.

Auditions and kōrero are now open for bookings. Please schedule a time for the major(s) you are interested in below.

 

Music Practice

You'll be required to perform one original composition on your instrument as well as a short creative exercise and answer a few questions about your musical interests. Electronic (i.e. computer, controller or DJ-based) performances are also accepted. We welcome all compositional and performative styles from all cultures and world views. You must complete an audition if you are applying for the Music Practice major.

Music Technology

A kōrero is a relaxed conversation where you can connect one-on-one with a member of our music academic team. It’s a chance to chat about your creative interests and determine if the Music Technology major is right for you.
