All applicants to composition are expected to prepare the following portfolio requirements:

PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS:

• Three manuscripts of original compositions showing the artists range in genre, training and ability.
• An audio recording of a live performance of each of the submitted compositions. If a live performance is not possible, an electronically generated audio recording will be acceptable.
• Although arrangements of works by other composers are welcome, they will be considered supplementary to the basic requirement for three original works.

PORTFOLIO REVIEWS:

At the portfolio review, applicants will meet with the composition faculty panel to discuss personal compositional processes, background and future goals. To a great extent, the composition portfolio review resembles an interview. Applicants should bring a copy of their portfolio with them to the interview. It will not be necessary for applicants to perform excerpts of their works, either vocally or instrumentally, during the review. Composition candidates are NOT required to complete a separate instrumental or vocal audition.
