Shadow A Student
Prospective music students are encouraged to spend a day shadowing a VCU Music Student. A shadowing day gives you the opportunity to sit in on classes and rehearsals and meeting our faculty and current music students.
To create a schedule that makes the most of your time please submit the shadow request form. You will receive a confirmation via email of your request and further instructions.
Please note you must submit the form three weeks in advance of your visit. Any forms received after this point will be considered if there is availability.
All prospective students in their junior year who wish to shadow may do so only September thru November. High School seniors may shadow at any time during the academic year.
