Review Process

The music technology faculty will review your portfolio and other application materials and then schedule a brief interview with you during departmental audition days. During the interview, we will ask you to discuss aspects of your experience and goals with music technology as well as completing the instrument and voice screening. We will also offer answers to any questions that you might have about our program at Towson University.

Instrumental Screening: Prepare your best performance on a conventional instrument of your choice (guitar, piano, clarinet, voice, etc.). This can include scales, chord progressions, improvisation, songs or compositions from sheet music or memory. The purpose of this screening is to assess your ability to succeed in ensembles and instrumental classes.

Voice Screening: The interviewers will play pitches on a piano. You will match those pitches with your voice. The purpose of this screening is to assess your potential to succeed in music theory and musicianship courses.

Based on the application materials, the portfolio review, and the interview, the music department will notify you regarding your acceptance status.
