Audition Requirements

All CCM programs require the submission of pre-screening materials in order to be considered for admission. Faculty will review application and pre-screening materials to make admission decisions and audition/interview requests.

While pre-screening materials are required for all applicants, not all applicants will be invited to audition or interview. In some cases, successful applicants will receive a final admission decision based solely off their pre-screening and application review, while other applicants may be asked to complete an additional audition and/or interview. Applicants invited to audition and/or interview with faculty will be notified by the CCM Admissions Office staff in mid-December.

Professional development and entrepreneurial acumen are an important part of the CCM experience. Faculty mentorship along with the Managing Professional Performance Careers course provide a foundation for transitioning to life after graduation. Select programs also normally host Senior Showcases in New York and LA. CCM's Office of the Dean also offers $30,000 in student travel funding annually, which is intended to support travels to auditions, conferences and other career advancement opportunities.

CCM is also home to the Bravos Without Barriers Diversity Fellowship Program, hosted in partnership with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Made possible by a series of grants from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the program is designed to recruit graduate students from populations that are historically underrepresented in classical music and is already garnering attention among leaders throughout the music world.
