Good to Know

Application Logistics

•Submit the Belmont University undergraduate application first, then register for the School of Music audition through BU4U

•University admission and School of Music admission are decided separately — the music audition does not affect general university admission

•The School of Music admissions decision letter is sent after the University admissions decision and the audition/video submission are both complete

What's The Process

Audition Process

•Apply to Belmont University first; after the university application is submitted, the School of Music emails instructions to register for an audition through the BU4U portal

•Choose an in-person audition date or a video audition submitted through Acceptd — the same faculty adjudicate both, and video is not penalized

•The School of Music does not prescreen any undergraduate program; the School of Music audition is the sole admission gate for the degree

•Piano Pedagogy applicants complete Belmont’s official classical Piano audition requirements

•Students are automatically considered for a School of Music talent-based scholarship at the time of audition

Scholarship Info

•Automatically considered for a School of Music talent-based scholarship at the time of audition

•Awarded students receive an award letter — Fall auditionees in December, Spring auditionees in March
