MUSIC SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION

AUDITION PROCESS AND INFORMATION:
Prospective Music Majors:

All students planning to major in music at East Texas Baptist University are required to audition for acceptance into the Department of Music. Students are encouraged to complete the audition process prior to beginning their work at ETBU. However, incoming students with no prior college music credit may choose to enroll in music courses and defer the official audition process until the completion of their first semester of music study at ETBU. Music students transferring from another college or university must complete the audition process prior to enrolling in ETBU music courses.
 
After acceptance into the Department of Music, students wishing to major in Vocal Performance, Piano Performance, or Music Education will audition or apply for these programs at the end of the first year of study as a music major. Application and audition procedures for these programs are outlined in detail in the Music Student Handbook. The audition process is outlined in detail on the music department website.
