  • Q. How do I apply for admission and schedule an audition?

    A. Apply to the University of Miami online via the Common Application and submit the Frost School supplemental application. From the list of available dates, indicate your audition date choice on the Frost School of Music supplemental application. Once your application and fees are received, and you pass a prescreening we will confirm your audition date.

  • Q. Is a prescreening required?

    A. All programs/majors, except the Bachelor of Arts in Music Industry, must complete a video prescreen and audition in order to be considered for admission to the FROST School of Music.

    The only degree at the Frost School of Music that does not require an applicant to be a musician and prescreen/audition is the Bachelor of Arts in Music Industry.

  • Q. How do I check the status of my application?

    A. Check your University of Miami Applicant Portal account regularly to track your application and document status.

  • Q. Is it possible to audition at a regional site or via a recording?

    A. All Early Action (EA) applicants who are approved to audition after a review of their video prescreens MUST audition on campus during the EA audition date which will be in December. For Regular Decision (RD) applicants an in-person audition is preferred and is required for some instruments/genres. Most classical applicants can audition via a video recording submitted online as part of the Frost supplemental application. In some cases, a virtual audition may be approved. 

  • Q. How do I change my audition date?

    A. If you’ve submitted your Frost School of Music supplemental application with your audition date choice and then realize you need to change your date, please contact the Office of Admission at the Frost School of Music at (305-284-6168). There will be a $25 charge to change a confirmed audition date.

  • Q. How many movements of a piece should I prepare?

    A. Audition requirements can be found here. All specific audition requirement questions should be directed to your program faculty.

  • Q. Where do I upload my portfolio?

    A. If your program requires a portfolio (composition, media writing & production, music engineering technology), please upload your portfolio with your Frost supplemental application. Check the Audition & Portfolio Requirements page for specific requirements. Remember, a program portfolio is not the same as a video prescreening on your instrument/voice. Applicants to the programs listed above must submit the prescreen and a portfolio.
