Good to Know

Application Logistics

•Register through the UNH music audition portal after the next schedule is posted

Program Accreditation

•All UNH music degrees have final approval from the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM)

•A music audition identifies your qualifications; it does not by itself commit you to a music degree

Certification

•Four-year BM leading to New Hampshire K-12 music teacher licensure (cert. #612.13)

•New Hampshire participates in the Interstate Certification Compact with many other states

•Students elect a vocal/choral or instrumental emphasis

Placement Exams

What's The Process

Audition Process

•The Music Department has not yet published Fall 2027 audition dates

•Register through the UNH music audition portal after the next schedule is posted

Audition Expectations

•Auditions are held before a small panel of faculty members

•All auditions are video recorded for the applied faculty member in your area to review

•Applicants traveling from outside New England or the Tri-State area may contact music.info@unh.edu if the in-person requirement is an undue burden

Teaching Pathway

•Music education applicants complete the principal-instrument audition on a scheduled date

•Entry into the teacher-certification path includes EDUC 500 Exploring Teaching and a departmental follow-up assessment

Scholarship Info

Music Merit Scholarships

•The music department audition also serves as the audition for a music merit scholarship

•Awards are based largely on audition quality, plus the applicant’s instrument/voice type and departmental needs

•Renewable for up to four academic years with an acceptable GPA

Recording Policy

•All auditions are video recorded for review by the applied faculty member in your area

•Students who opt out of recording are ineligible for a scholarship unless they schedule an in-person campus visit and sample lesson
