Instrumentalists and vocalists have an additional step in the complex college admissions process.  Music students must audition for each college or conservatory either on campus, at a satellite approved by the institution, or via video recording.  Each college or conservatory has its own requirements.  Therefore, it is very important for students to carefully select the repertoire they prepare for auditions.  By choosing wisely, students can fulfill the requirements for many auditions by preparing a realistic amount of music literature.
