If you intend to major in music, you must complete an audition as part of your application. Auditions are also required for consideration of a music scholarship.

In-person auditions provide an opportunity to meet faculty and current music students. If traveling to the Webster Groves campus is not possible, a virtual audition can be arranged. Please contact music@webster.edu for more information on this process.

Students should apply for admission to the university before requesting an audition. Once you鈥檝e submitted your application, you will receive an email with the link to request an audition. You can also log into your account to request a music audition.

Current students should contact music@webster.edu for the registration link.

Audition information must be submitted at least one week prior to your audition!

2. Describe an interest or passion you have outside of music. How do you engage with it, and what does it mean to you?
3. Describe a musical role model (artist, performer, composer, teacher, etc.). Why do you admire them and how do they influence you?

Please submit your essay to music@webster.edu no later than the Monday prior to your audition. You may simply include your name, the prompt, and your essay response. No cover letter or fancy heading is needed!
