Looking for advice on what to bring to the audition for Music Composition? The schools have the portfolios, should my D bring duplicates with her? Also, any other advice going in? Thanks!
Yes, bring copies of all scores. Does the school website have any info on this? If not, I would call admissions just to double check. Every school is a little different.
Mainly, relax and enjoy talking about music. Most testing is for placement purposes. While interviews may include questions on history or theory, some of it- even most of it- may just be a conversation… about the applicant’s work, aesthetic, future plans for pieces, favorite composers, how the student handles criticism, and generally an interesting time.
Thank you! We have looked at the websites, but also some good advice to bring multiple bound scores so that everyone in the interview/audition could view the score/s. Thankful for the tips!
