University of Texas Austin- Piano Major

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I'm currently an undergrad. student at Texas State University at San Marcos.
Even though I have been playing the piano for a while, I wasn't thinking about majoring it until this year when my teacher suggested that route.</p>

<p>Basically, I've always been playing as a hobby, often on and off (I was also in the Army for 4 years during which I never played).</p>

<p>When I came to Texas State University, I thought I was going to be at the bottom of the class, but am surprised to find out that I am at average, if not higher.</p>

<p>Anyways, I want to transfer to UT-Austin Butler School of Music.
Of course, I am aware that their music program is more competitive than Texas State.</p>

<p>But how much more difficult?
Do I even stand a chance?
Is there anyone who has auditioned before to UT-Austin?
What are some schools comparable to UT-Austin?</p>

<p>My current list of repertoire... (hope it helps)</p>

<p>-Schumann Concerto A minor
-Mozart KV311
-Debussy Estampes No. 3
-Bach Preludes and Fugues</p>

<p>Thank you all!</p>
