Audition Procedure for New and Transfer Students
All prospective music majors and minors must audition for acceptance to the UMHB Department of Music. Music auditions are held three Saturdays each spring. A pianist will be provided for auditions, although students may bring a pianist if they wish. Recorded accompaniments are not permitted.
It is highly recommended to select an early audition date since possible scholarships are given on a "first come, first serve" basis.
Prospective students who audition for acceptance to the UMHB Department of Music will be considered for scholarships. There is no separate scholarship audition.
Scholarships are available to music majors and music minors. Priority will be given to music majors.
Prospective students should apply to UMHB and complete the admission process before submitting an Audition Request Form. If a student submits an Audition Request Form before applying to UMHB, the student must bring an application for admission and transcripts of all previous academic work to the music audition.
Admission Requirements
The student must have graduated from a regionally accredited or state accredited high school with 24 units which must include:
- English (4)
- Social Science (3.5)
- Science (3)
- Foreign Language (2)
- Mathematics (3)
- Or received the General Education Diploma (GED) with a 50 composite score
Prospective students should consider all potential scheduling conflicts before submitting an Audition Request Form. After the form is received, each student will be contacted with a specific audition time on the date the student has requested.
