GENERAL INFORMATION
All prospective music majors must audition regardless of their choice of degree plan (including those applying as Music Composition, Music Business, or Recording Technology). Clarinet, flute, string, and voice applicants must perform a live audition unless they currently reside outside of the United States.
All applicants must submit the UT application and the Butler School of Music application before an audition can be scheduled or a recorded audition can be reviewed. The deadline for requesting an audition date or review of a recorded audition, which is done through the BSoM application, is January 1.** No applications, requests for live auditions, or requests for review of recorded auditions will be accepted after the deadline.
**Applicants in prescreening areas (flute, jazz guitar, and violin) must complete and submit the Butler School of Music application before December 1.
You will receive confirmation of your audition date by email after we receive your BSoM application and verify the receipt of your UT application with Main University Admissions. Please do NOT make travel plans until you have received an audition confirmation email. We do our best to place applicants on their requested audition date. We do not guarantee a slot on your requested audition date if you wait until the last minute to submit your applications and audition request.
AUDITION REQUIREMENTS
Audition requirements do not change based on your intended field of study or incoming status. Freshman and transfer applicants are required to audition with the same repertoire whether they are applying for admission to a Bachelor of Music degree or Bachelor of Arts in Music degree.
Jazz auditions are required for admission to the Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance and Bachelor of Music in Jazz Composition degrees. Classical instrument study is a required component of both jazz degrees for all instruments. A classical audition, in addition to the jazz audition, is required for applicants on trumpet, trombone, piano, double bass, and percussion.
Jazz auditions are for admission to the Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance and Bachelor of Music in Jazz Composition degrees only. They cannot be used to obtain admission into any other degrees, including the Music Business and Recording Technology degrees.
Accompaniment will be provided upon request for voice auditions. Vocalists may request an accompanist through the BSoM application. Accompaniment is not required or provided for instrumental auditions.
