Audition Update - Alternative Options for Admission

The music department is still accepting students by audition for Fall 2020 admission. All auditions will be completed online, either by real-time online video, OR by sending us a pre-recorded video audition by email in any format. You may choose which option works best for you based on your individual circumstances, although real-time auditions are preferred. To register for an audition, please fill out the application below.
 
The Music Theory assessment and our Keyboard Questionnaire will be completed online as well, and information regarding those will be sent to you once you fill out the application. Please email music@uwosh.edu with any questions.

  • Voice Accompanist Services:
  • UPDATE regarding online auditions: If your accompanist doesn't live with you, please do not enlist one to play for your audition in person. Instead, you can either ask them to record the piano part for you to sing along with, or you can email music@uwosh.edu with the titles and keys of the pieces you will be singing. Our voice faculty will attempt to find pre-recorded accompanist tracks for you.

    For auditions after June 5, 2020: You are strongly recommended to bring your own accompanist with you to your vocal audition. However, if you are unable to bring your own accompanist, you may request one. Auditions set outside of the scheduled dates may be subject to a $20 accompanist fee. All requests must be made, and music received, TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE. Send a legible photocopy of each song with your name and date of your audition printed on the top of each piece of music. Click here for accompanist information.

  • Scholarship Applicants:

    You will need to send the UW Oshkosh Department of Music Audition Committee a letter of recommendation from your private instructor or choir/band/orchestra director that addresses your musical background and ability. This letter must be in the Department of Music office no later than two weeks before your audition date.

    The letter may be emailed to music@uwosh.edu, or mailed to: Audition Committee, UW Oshkosh Department of Music, 800 Algoma Blvd., Oshkosh, WI 54901-8636

  • Keyboard

    Applicants will be requested to fill out an online keyboard questionnaire prior to their audition. (The questionnaire link will be included in the confirmation email that is sent to the applicant within 3 business days of the audition request.) Applicants without a keyboard background will be placed into beginning class piano. Applicants with previous keyboard experience will be placed into the appropriate course according to the results of the questionnaire. A placement exam may be required for those with significant keyboard experience. This placement exam will be given at the beginning of the semester and will include sight-reading and an assessment of fundamental keyboard skills.

  • PLEASE NOTE:

    The Department of Music will contact you via EMAIL to confirm your audition date, using the email address you provide. Your email address is also the way we will contact you for future correspondence. PLEASE VERIFY THAT THE EMAIL ADDRESS YOU PROVIDE IS ACCURATE.
