Admission Procedures
All applicants planning to enter the combined B.Ed./B.Mus.(Mus.Ed.) must first arrange for an Interview, Audition, and a Theory Placement Examination with the Department of Music. Advanced standing in Applied Music, Theory, and History may be granted upon special examinations. All applicants will be expected to demonstrate performance ability in the audition.
For the audition, applicants will be expected to prepare two contrasting music selections. Applicants are encouraged to consult with their music teachers, or consult with the Department of Music to determine suitable repertoire for the audition. Students are responsible for making their own accompanist arrangements if required. Audition application forms are available in the Music Department Office or online at
www.usask.ca/music/music_auditions/auditionappl.html.
Auditions for 2009-2010 are scheduled for February 21, March 14 and April 25, 2009. "Application to Audition" forms must be received two weeks prior to your selected audition date.
Recommended Preparation for Music Programs
Private instrument study will be a strong contributor to a successful audition. Therefore this is highly recommended. Students are encouraged to study theory (we recommend the equivalent of Grade II rudiments - Royal Conservatory of Music), history, and music appreciation, in order to be prepared for university-level study.
Keyboard experience
is essential for all music students. Candidates are encouraged to seek keyboard training prior to entering our programs.
