Auditions
If you are considering a major in music, an audition for the music faculty is required. For your audition, you will need to prepare three pieces. If you are a singer, we prefer that at least one of your songs be in a foreign language. If you are a pianist, organist, or instrumentalist, it is helpful to the faculty if you prepare compositions from different periods, such as the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras.
Although you may prefer to perform from memory, this is not required for the audition. For non-keyboard auditions, an accompanist will be provided. You may schedule an audition at your convenience by contacting the music faculty directly.

The Music Department at Peace College is pleased to be able to offer competitive scholarships for music majors.
