Audition Requirements

ATTEND YOUR AUDITION

On the day of your audition, you will play before a panel consisting of ACSM faculty.  

All applicants also take a short, written test in the rudiments of music theory as well as a test in musicianship, including keyboard skills, sight singing, and melodic dictation. These tests are given solely to determine the student’s level of preparation. The results are not entered into the permanent record but are used to determine section assignments in theory, ear training, and keyboard classes. 

• Sample Rudiments Test 
• Sample Keyboard Skills, Sight Singing, and Melodic Dictation Test

Students who already have a background in music theory and would like to be exempted from some required classes in theory and musicianship are permitted to take the advanced placement test in music theory. The advanced test includes figured bass realization, melody harmonization, species counterpoint, and keyboard harmony.
