<p>I have looked in the music forum. My daughter went to UT last week and loved the campus and music department. Does anyone have experience with the admissions to that department and how competitive it is?
thanks</p>
<p>I’m a current music major at UT (viola performance). The competitiveness of admissions is entirely based upon the teacher. For example, in the violin studio, Brian Lewis’s studio has traditionally been the most difficult to enter (before Anne joined the faculty). This holds true for other departments within the music school as well.</p>
<p>When is she graduating? Sign her up for summer band camp!</p>
<p>They have assembled a world class faculty so I would look for it to become increasingly more competitive as time goes on. Over the past few years, teachers in the Pacific NW have been sending some of their top students to UT Austin- as a top pick.</p>
