Auditioning for the Department of MusicAll applicants for the Department of Music must pass the audition process. Students have the opportunity to present an audition to showcase their talent, while being assessed to determine their placement into either the Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.) or Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)programs. There is an audition fee of $45 payable at least two weeks before the audition date. This amount will be returned to all students who enrol as a Music major in one of our programs.

Auditions for entry into the Music program at Brock (or individual Music courses) are held each year in the spring. The audition day consists of the following: • An introductory presentation on the Brock Music Program. • A theory placement test (roughly equivalent to the RCM Level 7 exam). • A juried performance of prepared pieces on your first instrument or voice. • A keyboard proficiency test for non-pianists. • An ear/singing test.

Auditions take place February through May each year. Please check out our website for dates when they become available:brocku.ca/miwsfpa/music/admissions-and-auditions/

Application ProcessApplicants must first apply to Brock University according to the regulations of the Office of the Registrar.

1. Learn about the application process at brocku.ca/admissions/apply. We offer both a Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.) and a Bachelor of Arts (B.A. in Music) program. When applying, the B.Mus. represents both programs. The Admissions Office will assess your application for academic eligibility.

2. Once we have your successful application, we will send you an email with information on reserving your audition date through the Music Office. Your music audition assessments will determine your placement into either the B.Mus. or B.A. program. Please note: If you intend to pursue a Bachelor of Arts with no lessons, you must still register for an audition day to complete the theory assessment, keyboard proficiency test, interview, and aural/choral assessment.
