Applicants who have an extraordinary talent in music, be it composition, conducting, or performance, and who are considering continuing their study and practice of music while at Stanford, may choose to submit a supplemental audition as part of their application to Stanford. This audition is not required, and in no way indicates that applicants intend to major or minor in Music, nor does it constitute an audition for departmental ensembles or lessons. Rather, it is a way in which applicants can demonstrate excellence outside the academic arena to the Office of Admission. For more information about the submission process for supplements, please visit the Office of Admission website.
If you have any questions about the audition process, or general questions about undergraduate opportunities for students in the Department of Music, please send email to ugmusicinquiries@stanford.edu
Recordings can be on CD, DVD, or posted online. If you are submitting an audition via a website, please provide the URL and make certain your content can be played and/or downloaded under standard conditions. Internet submissions must follow the same guidelines as all other forms of auditions (10 min. of playing time, etc.). No Facebook, Myspace, or other social media website submissions will be reviewed.
All supplemental audition recordings must be accompanied by the following items:
Documents are to be compiled and mailed directly to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions by the deadline listed below. No incomplete submissions will be reviewed.
