General Audition/Interview Information
Auditions and/or Interviews are required for admission to many Westminster Choir College graduate programs. Please scroll down and click into your specific program for detailed information about the application process for your program of choice. In order to maintain our mission of accessibility, we will be offering a hybrid of in-person and virtual audition dates for the 2021-2022 academic year. All memory requirements must be honored in recorded auditions.
- All auditions are evaluated by faculty members from the relevant departments. Westminster provides an accompanist for vocal auditions.
- Auditions and interviews are by appointment only and are limited to those who have submitted an application form and application fee.
- The application form and processing fee must be received at least three weeks prior to the selected audition date. Therefore, it is to your advantage to sign up early for an audition.
- Audio only recordings will not be accepted for any major that requires an audition, except Composition.
- Once you've reviewed the audition and admission requirements for your major, submit your application. When we have received your application you will receive email instruction on how to select an audition/interview date below.
As long as the above criteria have been met and unless notified to the contrary, students should assume that the audition/interview date they have selected is confirmed. Although the scheduled audition date will appear on correspondence regarding completion of the applicant file, no correspondence specific to auditions will be sent until approximately two weeks prior to the scheduled date.
Please note: Neither the Office of Admission nor the individual departments will provide any feedback about the audition to any inquirers, including applicants, parents or teachers.
