NYU: Music Performance vs. Music Education?

<p>I was looking at NYU's requirements for undergraduate auditions for Music Education majors, and they appear to be less than what is required of Performance Majors. I'll post what i found below, but if anyone could clear this up for me and others who are looking, it would be greatly appreciated. </p>

<p>"Music Education Auditions:</p>

<p>Undergraduate</p>

<p>Orchestral Instruments: two pieces in contrasting styles, one of those styles could include a selection from the jazz repertoire</p>

<p>Piano: three pieces in contrasting styles, one of those styles could include a selection from the jazz repertoire</p>

<p>Voice: two pieces in contrasting styles; choose from two different periods or two different languages, one of the contrasting styles could include a music theater piece."</p>
