Registration is 9 - 9:30 a.m. on the above dates. Auditions are held in the Recital Hall in Brooks-Shivers Hall on the Lamar University campus. Contact Dr. Kim Ellis at (409) 880-8149 or ksellis@my.lamar.edu for more information. Special audition dates can be arranged if necessary.

At the time of audition, all music major applicants will be given a theory placement examination to determine their level of theoretical knowledge. This examination includes key signatures, intervals, triads, treble and bass clefs, musical terms, and ear training. Those students who have already studied music theory will be given an opportunity-through examination-for advanced standing in music theory.
