For all TAC applicants:
Be prepared to discuss your notated score and uploaded media with the faculty.
Performance of one or two selections of music on piano or keyboard that demonstrates basic knowledge of music theory and hand coordination. If piano is not your primary instrument, please perform a short piece on your primary instrument or share a recording of you playing it. This is in addition to the piano performance requirement.
Piano pieces can vary in difficulty. The following are examples of beginner to intermediate pieces that could be performed with a few months of practice for non-pianists. The entire work does not need to be performed, only selections. Total performance time should be at least five minutes.
For those who are approved for a virtual Zoom interview, a recording of you playing the piano must be uploaded no later than 11:59 pm PST prior to your audition date. If piano is not your main instrument, an upload of you playing your primary instrument is also required.
