Audition Preparation

College / Graduate School Audition Organization

Organizing your prescreening, application materials, audition repertoire, and travel for multiple college or graduate school programs can be tricky!  Use the spreadsheet linked below to help you visualize, all in one place, the requirements for each program and decisions you have made regarding your repertoire and audition dates.

This spreadsheet has all information for fall 2023 applicants to my studio at Colorado State University populated as an example. To fill in your other school information, open the spreadsheet and navigate to File > Make a Copy for a Google Sheet or File > Download to select another offline format.
