Admission to Degree Program

Admission to the university does not guarantee admission to the School of Music. Music majors must be admitted both to the university and to the School of Music. Preliminary admission to the School of Music as a general music major is determined by an acceptable level of performance as demonstrated through a personal audition or a recent tape recording and is subject to enrollment limits. This audition is in addition to the formal application for admission to Brigham Young University. All students must also pass an aural skills entrance examination.

The Discipline

Studies in the discipline of music include theory, analysis, aural development, keyboard, sight-singing skills, composition, history, literature, instrumental and vocal performance, conducting, and pedagogy. The music major may pursue a broad liberal education with a concentration in music or specialize in an area such as composition, performance, or teaching.

Career Opportunities

Degree programs prepare future leaders to serve others in the artistic aspect of their humanity. These leadership roles may take the form of careers in performance, studio teaching, music education, composition, or higher education, among others.

General Information

  1. Admission auditions must be completed by February 15. Live auditions are held on the last Saturday in January. For those not attending the personal audition, tapes must be received by February 15. See School of Music office for details, or call (801) 378-3083.
    Students may take the aural skills entrance examination in one of three ways: (1) in a group, at scholarship auditions on the last Saturday in January; (2) in a group, during fall semester freshman orientation; or (3) individually, at the BYU Testing Center (call [801] 378-6129 to schedule a time). Students may take the exam as many times as desired but may not remain in theory core courses (Music 191, 193, 195, 197) if the exam is not passed by the first day of class.
    After the first year of study, entrance into degree programs is subject to faculty evaluation and enrollment limits.

  2. Students must establish a file in the College of Fine Arts and Communications Advisement Center after completing the first year in the major and declaring an emphasis..

  3. Students who pass the AP Music Test with at least a score of 4 can be excused from Music 191, 193, 195, 197 and receive 5 hours of credit. However, students with deficient keyboard or sight-singing instruction must enroll in Music 191 and 197.

  4. All major performance instruction (Music 161, 250, 260R, 360R, 460R) must be in the same instrument or must all be in voice.

  5. Students must undergo a jury examination to assess proficiency and progress on the major instrument or voice. Music majors are required to complete an examination before a faculty jury on their major instrument or voice near the end of each semester of performance study. Students may elect to substitute a recital for a jury examination, subject to faculty approval. Students desiring to enter Music 360R or 460R, which normally follows successful completion of the sophomore year, must first be granted approval by a faculty jury.

  6. Students may not enroll in more than two conducted or directed ensembles per semester. Chamber music and jazz combos are coached, not directed, and therefore are exempt from this limitation.

  7. We subscribe to the policy of the National Association of Schools of Music and carry no obligation to accept, without examination, upper-division music credits from other member schools.
