While prospective applicants are not required to have enrolled in music-focused programmes in high school or attained graded music certifications in order to apply, it is essential for students to have sufficient music theory knowledge in order to manage the academic rigour of the programme.
MUSIC APTITUDE TEST
Candidates will be assessed on basic music theory through a Music Aptitude Test. The test will include fundamental skills such as reading notation in treble and bass clefs, matching rhythms to time signatures, scales and intervals, melodic dictation and identifying the quality of triads in both written and ear training sections.
The test will be administered either on the same day of audition, or through an online test held separately for overseas candidates who are unable to attend any of the ‘live’ audition venues.
