Applicants for cello, viola, violin, piano and voice are required to
submit a pre-screening audition recording, Compact Disc (CD) highly preferred.
Audition recordings should be submitted as soon as possible, after you have
received your “Letter of Acknowledgement” from the UC Processing Center. Recordings must be received no later than Friday,
January 4, 2008. The Questionnaire
for Music Majors, Personal Statement, and any letters of support
that you wish to include should be returned along with your pre-screening
audition tape. A minimum of two recommendation letters is required for all violin, viiola and cello applicants.
Once your audition CD (Compact Disc preferred) is reviewed,
you will be notified if you have been selected for an on-campus
audition. Applicants will receive
notification of their on-campus audition appointment via e-mail. On-campus auditions are scheduled for one of the following two dates, January
26th and February 2 nd, as determined by the area head. Please understand these
dates have been selected by our faculty and appointment times will be very difficult to
change. If, however, you realize you
cannot keep your appointment, please notify us at once.
The repertoire for your pre-screening audition CD and any
in-person audition can be the same. Please
see the representative repertoire list on our website for additional
information. Students selected for an
on-campus audition that are unable to attend, will have their pre-screening
audition CD used for a final decision.
Please be sure your name and instrument is clearly visible
on the outside of the CD case, as well as on the CD itself. You should be sure the recording has
satisfactory audio clarity and volume.

Student Services Office by e-mail at musicaud@arts.ucla.edu

we receive a written request and a pre-addressed, stamped envelope with the
appropriate postage.
