The audition dates are:

Auditions require students to prepare a vocal solo (accompanist is provided by the university) and to sight-sing. Vocal technique and quality of sound is the main determining factor in securing a voice/opera scholarship. Literacy skill is the primary determining factors in securing a choral scholarship. All students who receive a scholarship offer must demonstrate the ability to sing in tune and with healthy vocal technique, regardless of voice size or color.

PRO TIP: The best advice I can offer for any student auditioning is to select music that they sing well rather than music that they think is technically impressive but that they don't sing well. Caro mio ben sung beautifully and musically is FAR more effective in securing a scholarship offer than singing a Puccini aria that is beyond the student's availability.

Every year we have significantly fewer auditioners than we have scholarship money available. Now, we have twice the scholarship money. I cannot award scholarships to students who don't audition. I want your students to sing with us after high school, regardless of their major.

Select "music major" for choral auditions, even if you're planning on doing a different degree.

UNLV tuition and fees is $9,300 a year for undergraduates taking 15 credits per semester. Even if your students are looking farther afield for study options, they ABSOLUTELY should make plans to audition for UNLV as one of their options. Our music educators have 100% placement rate and our music performance majors have a long track record of admission to strong graduate and young artist programs.

Just a friendly reminder, students MUST audition in order to be accepted as a Music Major or Music Minor, or if they are going to be a non-major and non-minor and just want to audition for scholarship consideration.
