Music Applicants – Important Information
To apply as a music student for the Bachelor of Music in Music Education, Bachelor of Music in Performance, Bachelor of Arts in Music or music minor, it is required to complete a music audition. (Applicants to the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre program have a separate audition process).
A music audition is considered a required component of your admissions application, therefore it is encouraged that music applicants submit their music audition at the same time they complete their University application. All music audition deadlines coincide with our admissions application deadlines. Please see ut.edu/admissions for more information.
All applicants will be required to complete the Music Audition Intent form located inside their SpartanStart portal to sign up for an audition. (Applicants will receive access to this portal once they’ve successfully submitted an admissions application). Applicants to the technologist track are not required to audition but must still submit a Music Audition Intent form for tracking purposes.
Applicants can submit a music audition virtually via Zoom or in person at one of our audition events below:
