Special College Admission Requirements for Music at Texas State University
SCHOOL OF MUSIC ADMISSION REQUIREMENT
Admission to the School of Music is contingent upon admission to Texas State, successful completion of the audition process, and available space in each studio. Moreover, a successful audition does not automatically ensure acceptance to the School of Music at Texas State. Prospective music majors will not be permitted to enroll in applied music and other music major classes until they have been accepted based on their audition and met with an academic advisor.

**Per the Music Field of Study, we will accept eight hours of applied study. Two hour applied lessons should be taken each semester for up to four semesters in the same instrument that the student plans to audition with.
*** Major ensembles must match the instrument that has been accepted for admission.
For example, Instrumentalists will need a wind band or orchestra (string), and vocalists will need choral ensembles. Secondary ensembles will not fulfill this requirement.
