Piano Applicants Only

If you are applying for piano instruction as either a primary or a secondary area, you must enclose a CD of your playing, approximately ten minutes in length. For this reason, piano applications are not online. These excerpts should reflect your own technique, musicality, and ability in two contrasting classical music styles. The recording should be clearly marked with your name and the titles and composers of the audition pieces. The recording should accompany your application and cannot be returned. Because you are submitting a recording, you will not be able to apply online. Final acceptance into the camp and selection of master class participants are determined by this recorded audition. Piano submissions will continue to be received after the June 1 due date. Piano faculty will notify applicants of their acceptance/rejection on a rolling basis after June 15.
