The link(s) should either be included as part of your online application, or emailed to musicgradaudition@uwo.ca .
All audition video recordings for the MMus program must be received by January 15, 2027.
Once you have submitted your complete application and it has been processed, we will email you to arrange an audition and interview. A time will be scheduled for either a live in-person audition and interview or a Zoom interview for those applicants who submitted a video recording.
Pre-screening Video Recording
As part of the online application, all applicants to the Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) program are required to provide a recent video recording to serve as a pre-screening audition. In the application, please provide a URL for a site (such as YouTube) where your video recording can be viewed.
The video and completed application are due December 1, 2026.

The tentative schedule is:

- February 13, 2027: Keyboard
Auditions will include performance of prepared repertoire and interviews:
- For full details about recommended repertoire for the pre-screening video and for the audition, see DMA Audition Requirements.
- In the interview with the audition panel, whether in-person or on Zoom, applicants will be asked to outline their research interests.
- In addition, applicants will have a 10-minute interview on Zoom with the Associate Dean (Graduate Studies) to discuss the written materials submitted with your application, your background, and knowledge of repertoire for your instrument.
Once you have submitted your complete application and it has been pre-screened, we will email you with the committee's decision. If invited for an audition and interview, details will be emailed to you. If invited for an audition but you are unable to travel to London, Ontario for a live audition, you may supply us with a link to a site (such as You Tube) where your audition video recording can be viewed, and a Zoom interview will be arranged with the audition panel.
