<p>I would be of the school that it doesn’t hurt to list performing experience, and I agree, listing what the program was about, what the requirements for getting into it are, is probably useful. While every indication I have had, in talking to people who have gone through music programs (mostly instrumental), are applying to them, some teachers in programs who make those decisions, the audition is basically the solid gold standard. However (and I am going to be careful here, because this is what other people have passed on, we haven’t run into this ourselves) it may (keyword may) help in cases where there is indecision about a candidate, where there could be, for example, two candidates who had strong auditions and so forth, and their CV might come into play, about showing what kind of student/performer the person is. Like everything else, I suspect it depends on the program they are trying to get into and the emphasis of the teachers.</p>
