What standard of performance is required for entry to the department ?
We simply request that all candidates have a good mark in grade 8 on their main instrument. For many candidates, this is a distinction. It is to your advantage to possess keyboard skills to the standard of approximately grade 5. If you have not taken the exam yet, don’t worry. The University also runs an Open Day, where you can come and see the department. Further information and online booking can be found at http://www.york.ac.uk/admin/uao/openday.htm (Please don’t phone the music department for this one). The admissions tutor will also be on hand to answer your admissions questions.
