Audition repertoire for all music undergraduate students should include the following:

• Two contrasting etudes from standard repertoire. Typically, your most recent all-state audition material is sufficient.
• A brief sight reading selection will be present as well.

Additionally, those applying as music performance majors should prepare a solo of your choice from the standard repertoire*. 3-5 minutes is sufficient. If you are playing a larger work (concerto, sonata, etc...), only one movement is required.
