Graduate Voice Audition Procedures
Accompanists are provided for on-campus Voice auditions. Voice Applicants auditioning at one of our National Audition Sites must provide their own accompanist.
Voice - Non-Performance Degrees
Three memorized songs including two art songs representing at least one foreign language and one aria from either oratorio or opera. At least one selection must be in English. An accompanist will be provided for on-campus voice auditions. Students must provide the accompanist with the music for all pieces in the proper keys. NOTE: A non-performance applicant may choose not to audition during orientation week, in which case she/he is required to take at least two full semesters of principal-level graduate voice study in lieu of an audition. This study should begin in the first semester of residence.
All Voice Performance Applicants
