How to Apply for Admission
to the Conservatory of Music
In order to be considered for admission all applicants must:
- Apply to Purchase College. Your application should be submitted before beginning the audition process.
- Audition for the Conservatory of Music. Please schedule an audition by finding your program below and following the instructions.
The Conservatory of music offers programs in Instrumental Performance, Jazz Studies, Voice/Opera Studies, Composition, Studio Composition, and Studio Production.
All programs require a two-step audition process.
The first step is a recorded audition, which should be mailed with the Audition Request Form and the $54 nonrefundable audition fee to the address on the form. Once the pre-screening CD is received and evaluated by our faculty, and if a live audition is required, the Conservatory of Music staff will contact you via email to schedule your live audition.
