Audition day

Each audition day at VCU Music begins with the registration of all applicants and a welcome session designed to give you more information about studying at VCU Music as well as allow you and your parent(s) to meet some of our faculty and students.

A Theory Placement Test will be administered in order to assess your music theory/aural skills and keyboard skills. Please be advised that the assessments are used as diagnostic tools for student placement in each of the areas tested. Acceptance into VCU Music is determined by the prospective student’s entire audition process and application.

To complete your audition day, you’ll have an interview. The interview provides an opportunity for us to get to know you better and allows you an opportunity to ask more specific questions.
