Auditions

Each applicant will receive a personalized folder at check-in with their schedule. All required appointments have been scheduled for you along with a warm-up time and space. Auditions will start after the morning information session and will run for each studio until all applicants have been heard by a panel of faculty. Some studios will run auditions all day so we recommend the latest flight out of Miami possible. 

Audition Repertoire

Check here to make sure you are prepared with the required repertoire. Applicants must perform all requirements for their instrument.

Practice rooms

Each applicant will be assigned a practice room and time in the Foster building. Monitors will check the applicant's schedule prior to entering the building. 

Frost Ambassador Q&A Panels

Panel discussions with our Frost Student Ambassadors will be offered twice on each audition. This is a great chance to meet current students and ask all of your questions about life at Frost. Specific times are coming soon. Tours of the music quad will be offered following each session.

Make sure your application is complete! 

We cannot make a decision on your application if your file is incomplete, even if you auditioned. Incomplete applications will be withdrawn by the university after our meeting to finalize decisions. Please check your UM Applicant Portal regularly to track your application and document status. Do not ignore incomplete items listed on your applicant portal.

​Admission into the Frost School of Music as an undergraduate applicant is a joint decision by Frost and the UM Office of Undergraduate Admission. We employ a holistic review that considers both the music evaluation and your application and supporting documents. Historically, competitive applicants to the Frost School of Music have an A/B average in core academic subject areas (such as English, Math, Science, Social Sciences, and Foreign Language). You may view the First-Year Class Profile to see last year's overall admitted student profile. ACT/SAT scores are optional.
