Music Entrance Auditions
Repertoire: All applicants must prepare the complete repertoire required for their instrument and follow all instructions indicated. Many departments require a recording of the required repertoire for pre-screening purposes. Please refer to the Application Checklist for a list of materials that must accompany the application.
Audition Dates: Invitations to the live auditions at The Juilliard School will be sent out approximately one month prior to the scheduled audition date.
Accompanists: We encourage you to use a Juilliard accompanist for your audition. A list of accompanists will be provided with your schedule letter. You must contact an accompanist from the list two weeks prior to your audition and provide her or him with a piano score of the repertoire for the audition. Students who wish to bring their own accompanist may do so. A rhythm section will be provided for jazz auditions. Collaborative Piano applicants please refer to the Collaborative Piano audition requirements below regarding the audition partner guidelines.
Practice rooms during auditions: Students scheduled to audition may use The Juilliard School practice rooms any time during audition week
(March 3-10, 2006). Practice rooms are not available to applicants before or after audition week. Out of consideration for fellow applicants, please use practice rooms in the evenings only on days other than your scheduled audition date.
Callbacks: All musicians will play for the faculty once. Only voice, piano, and flute have callbacks. Callbacks will take place on the same day as the applicant’s scheduled audition. Applicants must be available until 10pm for callbacks. Flute students will be asked to play a second time. Piano students will be asked to play a second time and undergraduate students are asked to take tests of basic musicianship. Voice students do not have a singing callback. The callback consists of a short written test, a muscial skills interview, and a brief diction evaluation. If an applicant is not called back, she or he may reasonably conclude that she/he is no longer under serious consideration for admission.
Other: J.OC., Orchestral Conducting, and D.M.A. applicants have specific audition procedures. Please refer to "Audition Requirements" section for a description of the audition process.
