Thank you for your interest in auditioning at DePauw!

Whether you plan to major in music or participate as a non-major, we are excited to get to know you and learn more about your goals and interests.

All auditions for DePauw University, for both majors and non-majors, are completed virtually through the upload of a pre-recorded audition video. Audition videos may be submitted between October 1 and April 1.

Audition guidelines, video upload instructions, and opportunities to connect with our music faculty will be available here by September 1.

Music Scholarships and Awards

DePauw grants music scholarships and lesson fee waivers to auditionees who demonstrate exceptional talent during an audition for music faculty. Music scholarships vary in amount, may be combined with University Merit Awards, and are limited to tuition expenses only.

At DePauw, I got to try a whole bunch of stuff. I was able to follow my creative passions.
