Music Scholarship Auditions

Audition for a music scholarship!
The Wittenberg Music Department offers scholarships in voice, band and orchestral instruments, piano, organ, and classical guitar—and these scholarships are available to all students regardless of major.

You will need to audition (and submit a Wittenberg admission application) by March 1. In addition to a Wittenberg Merit Scholarship, you may receive either one Special Interest Award or Fine Arts Scholarship. On the other hand, you may apply for more than one Special Interest Award and/or Fine Arts Scholarship.

All awards will be renewed for up to four years if you maintain good academic standing and meet award-specific renewal criteria. For more information on music scholarships, click here.

Vocal Audition Requirements
Two contrasting songs, including one in a foreign language if possible. A piano accompanist will be provided.

Instrumental Audition Requirements

1. Two compositions or movements in contrasting styles, one of which demonstrates technical proficiency. (For percussion, solos in two of these areas: snare drum, timpani, mallets.) About ten minutes total duration.

2. Major scales, memorized, up to four sharps/flats. Strings (including guitar and harp): two or three octaves. Woodwinds: one or two octaves, as appropriate for your instrument (clarinet/sax: in the key of your instrument). Plus a chromatic scale in one octave. Brass: one or two octaves, in the key of your instrument. Percussion: two octaves. Piano: three octaves, hands together.

If the dates above will not work for you, request a different date:
