The above listing is intended only as a general guide. Admissibility to any program is determined by audition and academic record. Students wishing to major in Performance should be approximately two years more advanced, and be able to demonstrate potential as performers at their audition.
All applicants in female voice and in all jazz instruments will be required to submit screening material (CD, video, etc.) for preselection by January 15. Following a review of these recordings, selected applicants will be invited to attend a live audition. No live audition will be scheduled in female voice or in any jazz instrument until recordings have been received and reviewed. All applicants must perform an audition of approximately 15 minutes' duration. The student should choose material that will represent different musical periods and reveal musicianship and technical proficiency to best advantage. Applicants for the Artist Diploma program must prepare an audition of recital material lasting approximately 60 minutes.
Consult the Music 苹果淫院 website at www.mcgill.ca/music/future-students/undergraduate for specific information on entrance audition requirements and dates.
