Music supplement and/or audition?!

<p>Hello,
I have submitted my application for Case Western. However, I am really confused about if there is a music supplement and am also confused about auditions.</p>

<p>I'm not planning on majoring in music, but I'm interested in ensembles/lessons/etc. and if there are scholarships. But I can only find information to schedule an audition (after prescreening). I'm not really sure if I could do a live audition if I were invited. </p>

<p>What should I do? Should I just submit the prescreen and see what happens?</p>

<p>I went through this exact situation when I applied. There isn’t really a music supplement; submitting music materials won’t influence your acceptance to Case. </p>

<p>The pre-screen is only for music majors and some non majors trying to win some small scholarships that are offered. However, to gain acceptance as a music student or to get any scholarships a live audition is required (there may be some exceptions, but not many). </p>

<p>As a non major you can participate in ensembles and take lessons regardless. There are auditions for ensembles in the first two weeks of classes and some ensembles are non-audition. Lessons do cost something for non majors, but you are taught by some of the best, since CIM instructors teach case students. </p>

<p>If you think you may want to go for one of the non major scholarships or if there is any chance you would want to major I suggest you submit the pre-screening and see what happens. Worst Case scenario you don’t end up being able to audition live. It won’t effect your participation in music once you get to Case as a freshman. You should also email the music department (see their website) to ask about details, how much the scholarships are, and too see if there’s any way around the live audition. </p>

<p>Hope I helped, good luck!</p>

<p>Okay, thanks. That was actually really helpful!</p>
