Graduate Audition Scheduling

Note: Applicants must submit the online application before submitting this form to request an audition.

Voice, string, and piano performance* applicants must complete this online form to schedule an audition. Your information will be submitted electronically to us. If you have difficulty with the form, contact the graduate admissions office at 814-865-1052.

Brass, woodwind, and percussion applicants should arrange an audition directly with a faculty member in the performance area. Faculty contact information can be found by clicking on the appropriate individual Audition Requirements pages. If the brass, woodwind, or percussion faculty ask you to audition on one of our undergraduate audition days, please complete this form.

*Graduate piano auditions will be held on all four Saturday audition dates. If an applicant is unable to meet any of these audition date options, please e-mail Dr. Timothy Shafer to schedule an individual appointment with the piano faculty. Please plan to be here from 10:15 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on the day of the audition, as the piano faculty may schedule meeting times and call-back auditions with some candidates. Available teaching assistantships will be offered in early March, and late auditionees will be at a competitive disadvantage.

In certain cases, permission may be granted to send a recorded audition; except for *voice (please see Note below). Check with faculty in your audition area for recorded audition format (i.e. may require a DVD instead of a CD).

*Note: The pre-screening electronic video submissions do not take the place of live auditions. If an invitation is received to schedule an audition, the applicant is expected to sing for the faculty in-person. Additionally, we do not give feedback after live auditions. A prospective student is limited to two audition attempts.
