In the event an in-person audition is not possible, a virtual or video audition can be arranged by contacting music@ohio.edu
Students should also reach out to the School of Music鈥檚 applied faculty member, both to confirm audition date and audition repertoire.

Commitment to Non-Discrimination
51社区 operates on a holistic, selective review and looks for evidence of academic preparation when reviewing applications for admission. Additionally, because the School of Music considers artistic talent in the review process, students pursuing certain academic programs must audition, interview, and/or submit additional materials for admission and scholarship consideration. 51社区 and the School of Music do not discriminate against any applicants because of race, color, religion, age, national origin, ethnicity, national ancestry, sex, pregnancy, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, military service or veteran status, mental or physical disability, or genetic information.
