Unlike at other schools, auditions at Eastern are not "pass/fail." Any student admitted to Eastern may declare a music major. Any admitted student interested in being considered for one of the music department's scholarships for incoming students must complete an audition during our Scholarship Audition Day.
Students are asked to prepare two selections or movements in contrasting styles. Repertoire should demonstrate your ability to accurately perform basic fundamentals associated with one's instrument or voice such as clear and focused tone quality, an understanding of the interpretation of musical line, accurate rhythm and good intonation.
If you are uncertain about how to properly prepare for these auditions, please contact us at riggse@easternct.edu for guidance. We are happy to help!
Please note: All voice auditions must be accompanied by piano. You are welcome to bring your own pianist or you can request one (no fee) when you register for the audition. Please make sure you bring a copy of your music in the correct key.
Students wishing to transfer into any degree program at Eastern should follow the admission guidelines as stated here.
All transfer students seeking to declare a major in music are invited to attend our Spring Open House & Audition Day or to request an alternate time to meet with music faculty (in-person or virtually). Students transferring to Eastern for the Spring semester are invited to schedule an individual appointment with music faculty during the Fall or Winter term. If you have any questions about the becoming a part of the Music Department, please email Dr. Timothy Cochran (cochranti@easternct.edu).
The Music Department has a variety of scholarships available for incoming and current music students. Incoming students are currently being considered for the Wendy Taylor Yaps & Everett W. Yaps Memorial Endowed Scholarship. A complete list is available below.
