Audition Requirements-Undergraduate
Hornists should be prepared to play a brief work or movement from the standard repertoire as well as a contrasting solo or etude, demonstrating both lyrical and technical playing. You will also be asked to sight read and may be invited to demonstrate other techniques such as multiple tonguing and lip trills.
You must audition during the school's formal
audition days on February 6, February 20, or March 13 (for
Fall 2009 enrollment) to ensure entrance and scholarship consideration.
All students registered to audition for WMU may receive
a free lesson with Dr.
Foulk (contact her to set up a time). The horn
studio is limited as to the number of students that may be
accepted and admission is highly competitive. Bringing
supportive material to your audition is highly recommended--this
may include letters of recommendation, a repertoire list,
a statement of career goals, or any other material that further
supports your application. Dr. Foulk strongly urges
you to review all the links pertaining to auditions on the
School
of Music website.

Foulk to schedule an audition time. Hornists should be

recommendation, a repertoire list, a statement of career goals,
or any other material that further supports your application.
