入学 and Audition Requirements
Please see specific instrument audition requirements by degree below. 了解更多 about the undergraduate or graduate application process, in-person audition dates, and deadlines.
本科
- One melodic étude (e.g., Bordogni, Concone, Rochut) or comparable work
- One technical étude (e.g., Kopprasch, Blazhevich, Arbans) or comparable work
- Two contrasting sections/movements from a standard solo work
- One or two contrasting orchestral excerpts
请注意: We have students who come to 西蒙 from across the United States and around the world. That is one of the things that makes a 西蒙 education so special. Some students are accepted and arrive having had extensive private study on their instruments. Others have had less experience (and perhaps less conventional training), but their natural abilities and great love of music allow them to make remarkable strides in a short period of time because of the expertise of our faculty.
Our requirements are sometimes quite specific to give applicants a sense of where they should be to enter a high-level conservatory environment. However, we encourage applicants to reach out to our faculty members to discuss audition repertoire. It may be that what you have prepared will suffice. Our primary goal is to identify potential, and if we feel that the potential is there, it is then our responsibility to provide each and every student with the tools to be successful.
If you would like to be in touch with a member of the faculty to discuss your audition repertoire, 请写信至 harttadm@17talkshopping.com.
