Pre-recorded Audition Requirements

Bachelor of Music

Pre-recorded Audition Requirements

Applicants may send a video recording via YouTube link or Vimeo, prepared according to the following conditions:

  • The applicant's face and hands must be visible while performing
  • Each piece should be recorded separately but unedited
  • If the repertoire performed requires an accompanist, see Accompaniment options for pre-recorded auditions below (this mostly applies to Bachelor of Music auditions)
  • Video must be of high quality

Please email the link to your recorded audition to ovandeli@uwo.ca, with the subject line consisting of the program you have applied to, your name, and your instrument (e.g. Bachelor of Music, Kim Young, bassoon)

Accompaniment Options for Pre-recorded Auditions

You may use a live or recorded accompaniment. If a live accompanist is not an option for you, you may have an accompanist record in advance and you play along with their recording, or use an accompaniment program like Smart Music or Cadenza. If accompaniment is not possible, you may also play the audition without accompaniment.

Bachelor of Arts: Music Administrative Studies

For applicants submitting a classical recording, the requirements are the same as the Bachelor of Music program above, but only one selection is required. For applicants submitting a pop piece, please refer to the Popular Music Studies Audition/Interview Requirements page.
