All students are strongly encouraged to perform their audition in person, yet we realize that distance or other extenuating circumstances may make this impossible. Prospective students may request permission to audition via online video service (Skype) in lieu of an on-site audition. Please contact the music department administrative assistant for more information at music@lvc.edu or 717-867-6275. The Music Department may request a second on-site audition.
The audition form must be completed online.
The audition must be successfully completed before students may register for music core courses.
