APPLICATION PROCEDURES for U.S. Citizens and Residents*

           

(*Students outside the US: click for international application procedures.)

MATERIALS WE REQUIRE:

  1. Application for Admission.
  2. Non-refundable $75 application fee.
  3. Copy of your high school diploma or GED.
  4. Audition Demo with at least one song performed by the applicant demonstrating their level of musicianship. This demo need not be professionally recorded, but it must be audible for the demo reviewer to hear your instrument clearly. Acceptable media formats: mp3, CD, live audition.

Applications are evaluated within 5 - 10 business days. Acceptance is based on your desire to learn music; Total beginners are accepted, as well as advanced or professional musicians. There are no standardized entrance exams required (SAT, ACT, etc.) however, we will administer a placement test during orientation in order to determine what level of courses you should enroll in.

After your application is approved you will receive an Acceptance Packet with an Acceptance Letter, Enrollment Agreement, and Tuition Invoice. The next step is to:

  1. Sign and mail back the Enrollment Agreement along with a $200 deposit to reserve your seat in the incoming class.
  2. Schedule a meeting with an Admissions Advisor to go over required classes, elective options, housing, and your first tuition payment.
  3. Arrive on your scheduled Orientation Day ( see attached Application Deadlines).
