Auditioning

Music Majors. An audition is not required to become a Music Major, but is required to select the Performance Emphasis within the Major (this is normally done at the end of the first year). We do encourage auditions by prospective and incoming students, either in person on campus or by submission of a recording. Please contact Dr. Angela Yeung for an appointment for a live audition and interview. Incoming students interested in applying for the Music Endowment Scholarship must complete the audition requirement by early spring of each year. (Deadline for admission in Fall, 2009: Friday, February 29, 2008.)

Music Minors. An audition is not required.

Ensembles. Except for the Concert Choir, an audition is required for all music ensembles. (Students interested in joining the Concert Choir may enroll without an audition.)

Choral Scholars. Students interested in auditioning for the Choral Scholars may contact Dr. Edwin Basilio. For more information, please visit the Choral Scholars website.

USD Symphony Orchestra and Chamber Music Ensembles. Students interested in joining either the USD Symphony Orchestra or Chamber Music Ensembles must audition every semester. To sign up, please visit the USD Symphony website, or contact Dr. Angela Yeung for an appointment. You may audition anytime during the summer until the first day of class in the Fall.
