After submitting your QTAC application, there are two stages to the audition process for Music

The first stage requires you to submit a recorded audition or folio, and an artistic statement, using our online submission form – this stage must be completed by the due date for your application to progress to the next stage. The second stage will involve a live audition and/or interview during audition week.

Explore the requirements below for your chosen specialisation/s. The audition information on this page is for undergraduate applicants only.

For postgraduate information, see postgraduate audition requirements.

Audition overview

Recorded audition or folio

Submit this online by 6 September 2023, along with your artistic statement. Select your chosen specialisation/s below for details on what you need to prepare.

We also recommend you check out the audition video tips and audition checklist for help with preparing your submission.

Remember to apply via QTAC and pay your audition fee before you submit your audition/folio.

Live audition and/or interview

Audition week will be held 25 – 29 September 2023. To be invited, ensure you submit your recorded audition/folio by 6 September 2023. Invitations will be sent two weeks prior to audition week.

Select your chosen specialisation/s below for details on what your live audition and/or interview will involve.

If your specialisation requires you to provide an accompanist for your audition, you can either provide your own or organise someone from the list of accompanists.

Diploma of Music pathway

Audition fees, requirements and due dates for the Diploma of Music pathway and the Bachelor of Music are the same. You only need to pay a single audition fee and submit a single audition/folio per specialisation if you have applied for both programs.

To help you make the best use of your QTAC preferences, we’ll also automatically consider you for a Diploma of Music offer if you apply for the Bachelor of Music and don’t quite meet the requirements for an offer.
