What is the Oral Comprehensive Examination (“Orals”)?
It’s an oral test that you usually do as the final thing before you graduate. It usually lasts 90 minutes. There are three main sections to the test, each section lasting 30 minutes: music history, music theory, and your area of specialization (music education, choral conducting, instrumental conducting, instrumental performance, piano, or vocal performance, or in the case of the M.Hum, your area of interest and specialty, such as composition or another topic).
