Performance Requirements

Applicants must perform two contrasting selections, preferably by memory and not to exceed 15 minutes. One copy of each selection must be provided for the audition committee. A list of repertoire studied within the last two years and a letter of reference from the applicant's current teacher should be presented at the audition, if possible. Where an accompanist is needed, it is suggested the applicant provide his or her own pianist or perform without accompaniment (an accompanist provided by the university may be available on certain audition dates).

Sight-Reading may be required at the discretion of the audition committee.

Performance Level Required:

  • Piano: Royal Conservatory of Music Level Ten or equivalent.

  • Applicants below this level may enrol in a preparatory year.

  • Voice: There is no specific grade level required. An ability to perform in a language other than English is an advantage, but not required.

  • Wind/Brass/Strings/Guitar/Percussion: Royal Conservatory of Music Level Six or equivalent.

The above grade levels are approximate guidelines and those applicants who are below the indicated level and demonstrate good potential for future growth and development will be given consideration.
