Auditions for the Bachelor of
Music Degree in Performance (Trombone)
To gain admission to the B.Mus. in Performance (Trombone), a student
must pass an entrance audition before a faculty jury of three, to
be appointed by the chairperson. The audition will occur near the
end of the second semester of college and must demonstrate the student’s
ability to perform well challenging repertoire representing several
historical periods and styles. A student wishing to perform an entrance
audition must notify the chairperson in writing at least three weeks
prior to the audition. Only after passing the entrance audition
may the student declare as a major the B.Mus. in Performance (Trombone).
A student who does not pass the entrance audition in the second
semester may have a second opportunity in the third semester. A
prospective candidate for the B.Mus. in Performance (Trombone) may
declare a major in Music prior to the semesters stated above. The
student will be listed as a candidate for the B.A. Music until he
or she passes the audition or portfolio review.
