<p>Omg i cannnot take this waiting if i have to wait till monday i’ll die</p>
<p>For Steinhardt music majors (performance) you need to first get in academically through admissions) and then the music department’s input comes into play regarding your audition.</p>
<p>However, music business is not really an audition program. If it is the same as 2 years ago, you sent in a tape and essay, but I doubt that counts for 50% of your admissions. Basically it was a way of initially screening applicant’s basic music ability since they will need to take the same music classes as performance and composition majors. I know that math grades are also looked at since a fair amount of work is at Stern.</p>
<p>@uskoolfish hmm are you a music business major?</p>
<p>I agree that it is probably not 50% of your audition, but I’m sure as hell it counts for a good percentage, or else I feel like they wouldn’t have you waste your time.</p>

<p>No, I am not a music business major…I am a parent of a vocal perfomance major at NYU. I met with the head of the music business dept at a info session where she discussed the admissions process. As I said, this was about 3 years ago, so things may have changed. D was deciding between both majors at the time.</p>
<p>For performance majors there is a pre-screeing and then a live audition. For music business there is a tape and essays. It is not at all a performance/talent based program, and that is why the tape is not really an audition. Basically the department head described that as long as you can do a decent renedition of “happy b’day”, you had enough talent.</p>
<p>Academics and leadership are very important. And she went on to say that she likes to see 4 years of math, preferrably to a Calculus level. You need to have enough musical aptitude to do well in theory, aural, keyboarding. etc.</p>
<p>Good luck to you!</p>
