As a performance major, is a live audition preferred?
A. Live auditions are required for certain performance degrees: piano, flute, percussion, voice/opera; and for strings: violin, viola, cello, double bass (for applicants living in the United States). String applicants living outside of the U.S. must submit a video recording if they cannot audition live. In other areas a live audition is strongly preferred, but an audio or video recording may be submitted. Graduate applicants in Conducting must submit a video recording in addition to an audio recording. Please refer to the section “Admission Requirements Part II” for more specific information regarding auditions. The School of Music does not offer any scheduled live auditions outside of the UT-Austin campus.
