NSU Music Department Audition Registration

What Should I Prepare?

You should perform well-practiced music that demonstrates your best playing. It is recommended that you prepare two selections of contrasting styles that demonstrate your musical ability. Musical selections should be of a classical nature, such as the standard solo repertoire listings on the Oklahoma state contest solo list. Other comparable works are acceptable, such as movements of a sonata or concerto. Students interested in auditioning for jazz & commercial music scholarships should prepare a jazz etude or solo transcription and/or be prepared to improvise in an F or B-flat blues progression. Percussion students should prepare to play a maximum of two different instruments (drum set will count as one single instrument). Suggested material for singers include an aria or art song. Singers will be provided an accompanist, or they may bring their own. Instrumental students are not required to audition with piano accompaniment. If you are unsure about what to perform, feel free to contact any of the NSU music faculty.
