Conservatory Audition Application

  • Conservatory of Music Audition Application

    We are pleased that you are applying for admission to the Capital University Conservatory of Music. The information below is designed to help as you plan for your audition. The requested information will assist us in making an admission decision based on your academic, musical and personal qualifications.

    The purpose of the audition is to determine the musical qualifications of each student. The guidelines under emphasis requirements on the Conservatory Admission webpage are there to assist you as you select the pieces you plan to perform. In addition to performing your prepared audition pieces, you will also be required to complete musicianship and audiation (theory) assessments. These assessments are used to determine placement in Conservatory core courses. (Students submitting a video audition will complete the musicianship and audiation assessments during orientation.)  

    You will be notified of your results and scholarship award within two to three weeks of your audition. Your audition performance, academic record and admission application information will be used to determine your scholarship eligibility. Contact Susanna Mayo at smayo@capital.edu or 1-866-544-6175 with any questions.

    Group Audition Days

    Audition days begin at 8:30 am, and last throughout the day. You should make plans to be on campus until late afternoon. Schedules are personalized and will be distributed at registration. Family members are welcome to attend, but will not be permitted in the auditions. Programs have been designed to provide students and families with information about campus and Conservatory life, as well as the financial aid process. Campus tours will be offered and lunch in the Capital Court is provided.

    Individually Arranged Auditions

    Once the group audition days have passed, we encourage you to contact the Admission Office to arrange your on-campus audition. After a date has been determined, you will receive a copy of your schedule prior to your arrival on campus.

    Video Auditions

    A live audition is always preferred to a video audition. However, recorded auditions may be accepted from candidate unable to make it to campus. Please submit all video auditions through the Capital University Conservatory of Music Digital Dropbox.
