Introduction
The College of Music, among the largest in the nation, offers a comprehensive musical environment
and unlimited opportunities for the pursuit of excellence in the musical arts for talented and dedicated
musicians. The breadth of the musical experience includes the study and performance of the extended gamut
of Western art music, the music of global cultures, and the creative contributions of contemporary jazz and
the electronic/experimental media.
The depth of the instruction is provided by a faculty of internationally acclaimed performers,
composers, scholars, and educators who are able to share their knowledge, skills, and insights with the next
generation of musicians, from the baccalaureate to the doctoral and artist levels. The entire program is enhanced by
the holdings of the UNT Music Library, the largest and most comprehensive collection among universities
in the South and Southwest. Graduates of the College of Music hold positions of leadership and
influence throughout the nation in the areas of concert, opera, symphony, and jazz performance, in higher
education and scholarship, and in public school music education. The College of Music, with its wealth of
campus concert experiences and varied instructional programs, is a unique asset in the cultural and intellectual
life of the university community; in turn, its effectiveness is enhanced by being part of a large,
comprehensive university.
The College of Music is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music [11250 Roger
Bacon Drive, Suite 21 Reston, VA 20190; (703) 437-0700].
Admission Requirements
Freshman and Transfer Admission
Admission to the College of Music is contingent on clear admission to the university.
Those students who intend to be music majors must qualify by audition on their principal instrument

and opportunities, please contact the College of Music.
The student should perform standard classical works. Prospective jazz studies majors should be

Those students unable to audition in person may submit a recording representative of their
performance abilities.
If a student fails to gain unconditional admission but shows promise, the faculty may grant
conditional admission, subject to re-audition and evaluation at the end of the first semester. Permission may be
granted to take applied music at reduced credit until the audition is passed.
Students planning to major in composition may begin the undergraduate program through open
enrollment in Beginning Composition I, (see "Supplemental Information for the Bachelor of Music with a
Major in Composition").
At Freshman Orientation, students will take placement examinations in both music theory and
piano. Transfer students will take similar examinations at New Student Orientation during registration week.

and choral areas, and band/orchestral instrument for the instrumental areas). Those students who choose
a keyboard or guitar concentration must take the secondary voice/instrument appropriate to the
intended teaching area and qualify for participation in the appropriate music laboratory (see subsequent
