New students are asked to prepare and submit a video audition to help us place students in the appropriate level class. Audition guidelines and materials can be found on our Audition Process Page. Same audition may be used for Fall 2021 trimester classes. Students are encouraged to register for the class with the artist focus that they are interested in. However, final ensemble placements are at the discretion of the Director of Music + Education, considering instrumentation needs and student level. Students are welcome to register for multiple ensembles if instrumentation allows. Classes are capped at eight students due to social distancing in the allowable rehearsal rooms.
