Audition
Requirements
Undergraduate
Considerable flexibility is permitted in the choice of audition
material. Guitarists admitted to the undergraduate program
should demonstrate a degree of technical fluency and musical
awareness appropriate to the level of audition literature.
This means it is better to play easier pieces well than
to play difficult pieces poorly. Candidates must prepare two
pieces from contrasting style periods. Music scholarships
are
available
to qualified applicants. Scholarship candidates are strongly
encouraged to apply early. Contact Miss Jennifer Jablonski,
who coordinates undergraduate music admissions, at or 803.777.6614
for audition dates.jjablonski@mozart.sc.edu
The School
of Music recognizes that some talented students may lack
the benefit
of substantial previous classic guitar training. These
students may be offered a conditional acceptance into the
program to
pursue remedial study (for credit) and work toward a
formal qualifying audition.
Graduate
M.M. degree candidates should
demonstrate a high level of technical fluency and musical
awareness through performance of the more advanced concert
literature.
Candidates should prepare at least three pieces from
contrasting style periods. One must be a major work. Sight-reading,
major,
and minor scales will be required.
D.M.A. candidates
are
expected to show promise as concert artists and teachers.
Candidates should prepare three major works from contrasting
style periods.
Sight-reading, major, and minor scales will be required.
For
further application and audition information please
contact Mrs. Jammie Turner, Administrative Assistant for
Graduate Studies, at or 803.777.4106. Graduate assistantships
and
fellowships are available for graduate guitar students.
