Auditions for Band, Choir, Orchestra, or Piano
The ideal time to schedule an audition with the School of Music at Southern Miss is between November and March of the current academic year. There are several steps to follow in order to learn about visits or scheduling an audition.
First, contact the person leading the area in which you are interested. They are happy to talk with you and answer any questions you may have regarding their area, the School of Music and the University of Southern Mississippi. If you plan to major in music, you will be given contact information of the professor who teaches your instrument. This professor will schedule your audition and inform you of material you should prepare. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions regarding the audition, service awards, financial aid, residence life, and the university in general.
