Music Auditions

Ensemble Auditions – See this link.

Scholarship Auditions – See below.

Auditions for Acceptance as a Music Major or Music Minor – See below.

Auditions are required for all applicants planning to major or minor in music.  Following the audition, students will receive written notification of acceptance.

Upon acceptance, the student should contact the Department of Music office as soon as possible to arrange for course advising.  Call 256-824-6436 or email music@uah.edu.

If a student is not accepted, the student should consider pursuing another major, but is welcome to audition for ensembles and may enroll in 100-level studio instruction.  Please note that 100-level studio instruction does not count toward music major degree requirements.  In order to graduate with a degree in music, the student must complete a minimum of six semesters of 200-level and 400-level studio instruction.

Students are allowed to audition a second time if they are not accepted on the first audition.

The Department of Music holds scholarship auditions each winter for the following school year.  These scholarship auditions also serve as admission auditions, and students are encouraged to attend these if possible.  For audition dates, see this page or call the Department of Music at 256-824-6436.

Below are recommendations on audition materials:

VOCALISTS INSTRUMENTALISTS PIANISTS
Vocalists should prepare two pieces in contrasting styles selected from standard classical vocal repertoire. A foreign language piece is preferred, but not required. Singers must have an accompanist (contact the Music Department if you need help arranging for an accompanist). Students will be asked to sight-read as part of the audition. Instrumentalists should prepare two pieces (or etudes) in contrasting styles. One of these may be from the All-State Band or Orchestra audition list. Instrumentalists should also be prepared to play all major scales, the A melodic minor scale, and the C harmonic minor scale. An accompanist is welcome, but not required. Pianists should prepare two or three memorized pieces in contrasting styles selected from standard Baroque, Classical, Romantic, or Twentieth-century keyboard literature.
