Additional Entry Requirements
Applicants must attend and pass an audition/interview and an aural/theory test. Selections for music programs are made on the basis of audition/interview scores combined with academic achievement and the aural/theory test score. It is possible to audition for more than one instrument or area of specialisation if you have multiple interests and could pursue studies in any one of them. Separate audition application forms are required in that case. The auditions/interviews will be held from Monday 7 to Friday 11 December 2009. The audition application form and full details are available on the web: www.music.adelaide.edu.au/students/prospective/auditions/ Application forms for the December round must be returned to the Elder Conservatorium of Music by 30 September 2009. Late applications will be accepted however, while every effort will be made, it may not be possible to accommodate them in the audition schedule. For those applicants who are unable to attend in December, a small number of auditions/interviews will be held in the week beginning 28 September 2009. In this case, the audition application form must be returned to the Conservatorium no later than Friday 11 September 2009 with an explanation about the problem. A late round of auditions/interviews is highly likely to be held in February 2010, subject to final numbers in the January offer round. Please note that not all specialisations will be available at this time. Auditions for Jazz specialisations are particularly unlikely to be held after the December round. Enquiries should be directed to the Conservatorium either through the web ( www.music.adelaide.edu.au), phone (08 8303 5995) or email (music@adelaide.edu.au). How to Apply

more different activities through most of their working career.
Performance studies can lead to employment in the professional music field
as a soloist, accompanist, chamber musician, orchestral player or a studio teacher.
Majors in other areas may lead to employment in the fields of music education,
composition, broadcasting or research. Graduates may also be employed as arts
administrators, community musicians or academics. Jazz musicians may be employed
in bands or other performance ensembles.
