Music Performance Video
There is no written admissions test for Music. Applicants for Music are not required to register for a test.
However, if you are shortlisted for interview you will be asked to a 5-minute (max) continuous video recording of a musical performance on your chosen instrument or voice. The Faculty welcomes auditions in any genre or style. Examples of previous submissions include classical instrumental sonatas, Hindustani classical music, unaccompanied folk, improvised jazz and musical theatre.
An extract from a longer performance is perfectly acceptable. It can be accompanied or unaccompanied. Videos can be made on any device such as a mobile (file type .mov or .mp4). We would recommend recording in a room without too much echo and to do a couple of tests to see where the sound is best, (for example, sometimes having the microphone further away from you is better).
In addition to the video, please also include:
- a score of the music as a single document
- a cover sheet.
Please upload the three required items (video, music, cover sheet) to a shareable drive. Submit only one link to the shareable drive (not one link per item).
- Please do not email the video file.
- We require a video and not a sound file.
- The quality of performance will be assessed but the quality of recording will not be taken into account.
- Ensure the permissions to the drive are set to open to all.
- Ensure all contents remains accessible until the end of December (i.e. does not expire before then).
This must be submitted via this webform no later than 10 November.
