The Master of Music (MM)

Masters applicants (except Voice MM applicants) who live more than 250 miles from New York City may submit a video recording with decent audio quality for their audition, which would be uploaded to your application.  Voice MM applicants who pass the pre-screen are expected to audition live.  See Audition Requirements below for the specific repertoire requirements for each instrumental or vocal area.
