First, you need to audition only if your hoped-for music degree program requires one. No audition is required for the Music Industry program. If Musical Theatre is your dream, go here for audition information. No audition is required for the master's degree programs in Music Therapy or Music Education (unless you want the "recital track").

We welcome recorded audition videos. If this is your preference, then you will upload an audition video when you submit this application, so don't submit it before you have made your video. You will also select a follow-up date when a member of the Fredonia music faculty will connect with you via Zoom. *Note: if you are a current Fredonia student, you may audition either in person or via video.
