PLEASE READ ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT FOLLOWS BEFORE SUBMITTING THE FORM BELOW.

All prospective music majors and students who wish to take major courses in the department must take an entrance exam. The exam consists of three parts: (a) music theory and musicianship (sight singing and ear training), (b) music history, and (c) performance. Non-majors who wish to take courses in only one of these areas may take the section of the exam in that area only. Click here for a description of the contents of the exam.

Students with little or no prior training in music must take pre-major courses before taking the exam. Click here if you are not yet ready to begin the major.

Students who have taken music major courses at another school will be given advanced tests to determine their placement in the Hunter music major. For advanced placement exams, contact the Undergraduate Music Adviser directly. Click these links for information about Hunter’s curriculum in music theory and music history.

The performance evaluation (audition) for B.A. music majors includes playing or singing one piece of the student’s choice (any style) for an examiner. Keyboard and aural (sight-singing) skills are also tested as part of the performance evaluation. The performance exam will follow the wriiten exams.

Students applying to the B.Mus. Program must schedule a performance audition in addition to the entrance exam. If possible, the B.Mus. audition and entrance exam should be scheduled for the same day. Again, keyboard and aural (sight-singing) skills are tested as part of the audition. For information on the B.Mus. audition, click here.

Students auditioning for the B.A./M.A. (limited to current Hunter students only) should submit the M.A. Audition Registration Form. For more information on B.A./M.A. eligibility, click here.
