The prescreening recording may contain representative movements of the audition material and the majority of the material must have been recorded within the last 12 months. Recordings of accompanied works must have a piano or orchestral accompaniment.
If preliminary approval is granted, a live audition will be arranged. Candidates must audition in person. Recordings alone are not acceptable for admission, except in the case of students living outside the United States. In this case, the applicants must submit a recording of complete works (other than the Bach requirement for violinists and violists); continuation in the program is contingent upon success in the major performance medium during the first semester of study.
