Audition Requirements

Repertoire List

•Prepare a work from the UIL guitar solo list (Class 1, 2, or 3), or any appropriate guitar solo

Official Source

Good to Know

Application Logistics

•Apply via ApplyTexas, Common App, or the Schreiner University application

•Coordinate music-major audition details with the Department of Music or assigned applied faculty

Transfer Pathway

BA Music transfer students can use Schreiner's guaranteed transfer admission process and credit-evaluation tools to see how prior accredited-college coursework applies to the BA Music degree plan. Students should still plan for the music-major audition/placement process because applied-music progress can affect time to degree.

What's The Process

Audition Process

•Incoming music majors must audition; auditions are held during Schreiner Saturday events or may be submitted as a recording to the Admissions Office

•Auditions may be used to declare the music major, qualify for ensembles, and when available, be considered for additional financial aid

•Schreiner recommends completing the music-major audition by the spring semester of freshman year; starting later can extend the degree plan beyond four years

Audition Expectations

•Audition may be completed live or by video

•Contact Kevin McCormick: kcmccormick@schreiner.edu

Contact

•Eugene Dowdy (Director of Music): EDowdy@schreiner.edu, 830-792-7417

Scholarship Info

Music Scholarships

•Grants and scholarships are available to music majors and non-majors who participate in ensembles

•Additional financial aid may be considered based on audition
