Auditions and consultations

Auditions and consultations for 2023 are now closed! Auditions and consultations for 2024 will begin late June 2023.

If you have any questions, send us an email at commercialmusic@massey.ac.nz.

All auditions and consultations take 30 minutes over a video call. 

We'll email you more information about your session before your appointment.

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 Music Practice.

Music Industry

At the consultation you will get to speak with an academic staff member to determine if the music industry major is right for you; booking a consultation does not commit you to the music industry major. You will need to write a short statement (250-500 words). 

Music Technology

At the consultation you will get to speak with an academic staff member to determine if the music technology major is right for you; booking a consultation does not commit you to the music technology major. You will need to write a short statement (250-500 words). 

If you would like to speak directly to a lecturer or a member of our administration team, send us an email at commercialmusic@massey.ac.nz.

After booking an admission or consultation, your next step is to apply for admission to Massey University. This doesn't commit you to a major, and there is plenty of time for you to change your mind. 

Apply online

If you're an international student, you need to apply for admission before you book an audition or consultation.
