Checking in

When you first arrive on campus, come directly to 17 E. Mt. Vernon Place. Walk straight ahead and down the stairs into the Arcade for check-in. From the Parking lot, go to the far corner of the second floor and follow signs saying “Main Entrance,“ “Concert Hall,” “Check-In” or “Arcade.” It’s all the same place. The check-in process is important, even for current Peabody students. If you do not check in, we may mistake you for a “no-show” and re-assign your audition time to someone else.

Please note that we are only available to assist during business hours (M-F 9am-4:30pm). If your audition is scheduled outside of these hours, please let us know in advance if you may require assistance on campus.

The Audition

Audition requirements can be found here. Be on site 45 minutes (and no more than 2 hours) early to warm up. Practice rooms will be available and volunteers will be on site to guide you.

We have asked you to prepare much more music than can be performed in the time allotted for your audition, so expect the faculty to ask for excerpts from your audition repertoire.

Canceling Your Audition

“No-shows” create havoc with the audition schedule. If you must cancel your audition/interview, please notify us ASAP. Cancelling your audition typically results in the withdrawal of your application, but we will let you know if there are other options available to you.

Rescheduling Your Audition

Please contact our office ASAP if you have a scheduling conflict. We may not be able to accommodate, but we will do our best to ensure your audition is heard.
