Come audition for the Music Department during Winter Weekend! This is a perfect time to audition, as you don’t need to schedule an appointment, and will have the opportunity to meet faculty and students across the university and see what life is like on campus!

Audition Information

All students must audition in order to be admitted to the music major, and they must also be admitted to Brenau University to be admitted to the major. Talent-based scholarships are awarded based on auditions, and students will be placed in appropriate level courses and lessons based on their auditions.
