Audio + Music Production Auditions
Audio + Music Production
Bachelor of Music (B.M.) in Audio + Music Production
The following is audition information for entry into the Dana School of Music.
All applicants are automatically considered for a Dana Talent Scholarship and are not required to submit a separate scholarship application. If you choose to apply to the online M.M. in Music Education or the M.M. in Music Performance, your graduate audition for those graduate programs is also your audition for an assistantship. These include tuition remission and a stipend, and you will need to complete a separate application through the YSU Graduate College.
Audition requirements
Applicants should prepare the following audition requirements:
- Please submit links to 2-3 samples of your musical productions or recordings to Dr. Bryan Helsel at bhelsel@ysu.edu.
- Include a short description of each musical work.
- Submit a summary of your professional goals.
