The purpose of this book is to provide high school
students with or without a private teacher with a
comprehensive collection of materials that will satisfy
the needs of most college/university music auditions.
Many schools have specifi c requirements that can
usually be obtained from their respective web sites.
This text includes the most frequently requested
audition requirements from online websites at
many universities, and if it is the only guide that you
purchase, you will be able to present a representative,
well balanced audition.

The editors of this collection have drawn from
experiences as college/university music professors
and from experiences supervising entrance auditions
for large and small university music programs. This
collection will aid students by exposing them to the
expectations of the audition process, assisting their
preparation for this process, and creating a comfort
level that allows students to present themselves in the
best light possible. This book is an indispensable guide
for every student considering auditioning for any
collegiate music program.
