Admissions:
Admission into any music program is contingent upon passing auditions, demonstrating students' skills in performance on a major instrument/voice. Students also take examination in sight-singing, ear training in order to demonstrate talent, well-developed musicianship, and artistic sensibilities. Foreign students must submit tapes of their musical performances to the school's admissions office with their completed application.

The admission evaluation process is held twice a year. Once during the month of June and July for the upcoming fall semester, and another during November and December for the spring semester. Only after the tape is reviewed will the students be notified of the audition schedule. All non-returnable application forms and other materials sent with the applications must be submitted by the end of May or October.

All applicants (Domestic and Internatioanl) must submit an official transcript from latest institution attended. If official document is not written in English, It must be translated into English by an official translator and notorized. After all documents are filled in, the audition date will be notified to each applicant within 2 weeks.
