Music Department New Applicant Form.

After you complete your CSU麻豆蜜桃AV application, you will receive an automated email from the Music Department which contains a link to the Music Department New Applicant Form. Don’t delay this important step. The form should take about 10-15 minutes to complete, and contains key information about the Music Department’s Scholarship and Applied Area Auditions.
- The Bachelor’s of Arts (B.A.) in Music will require you to register for at least 4 units (4 semesters) of applied study (private lessons) in an instrument, voice, composition or music production. We require a successful Applied Area Audition in order to start taking lessons. Students only do this once. Once in lessons, students follow the applied jury schedule depending on their entry level.
- You don't need to audition right away when you start (very common for 1st-year students who can build up musicianship before taking lessons), but if you want to graduate in 2 years (most transfer students), you should expect to start lessons right away, and thus prepare audition materials.
- Live auditions are preferred, but we also welcome online submissions if you are unable to travel to Hayward. If you can’t be present for a live audition, you will be able to submit links to a high-quality video of your performance in which we can see you and instrument fully, and the audio quality allows us to hear your tone clearly. You may share links from platforms such as YouTube, Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar.
