Youll need a 2:1 degree in music or a related subject. For the performance pathway, you must submit video recordings of 2 to 3 pieces, totaling 15 to 20 minutes, that demonstrate your technical proficiency, interpretative ability, and a coherent artistic approach. You must be able to learn pieces quickly using appropriate skills for your chosen genre: classical applicants are expected to be fluent in sight-reading, while jazz, pop, and musical theatre applicants should be comfortable learning by ear as well as reading at sight. Recordings must be unedited live performances with no post-production enhancements such as vocal comping or pitch correction. While separate footage for each audition piece is acceptable, a continuous performance is preferred.
