Undergraduate Auditions: Percussion - 라이브 오디션

First-Time Freshman

Prospective first–time freshman must demonstrate technical strength and reading ability on keyboard and two of the three percussion areas of snare drum, timpani and drum set. The examples listed below give you an idea of the expected minimum level of ability for incoming students. Although this list serves only as a suggestion, please choose literature that is similar in style, depth and breadth.

Performance majors (MUP 127) should anticipate a higher entrance standard than a percussionist applying for other undergraduate music degree programs (MUP 111: music education, therapy, theory, composition, Bachelor of Arts).
