Before you apply
Admission
requirements
The audition consists of two rounds. For the first round, the candidate submits a portfolio in which the candidate describes his/her motivation and education and professional experience in the field of music. This portfolio also includes the links to the audition videos.
In the second round, the candidate is invited for an online theory test which determines whether the candidate is admissible. More information about the theory test may be found here. Furthermore, the audition committee may decide to invite the candidate for a live audition. Depending on the main subject, this live audition may take place online.
Additionally, the theory department may re-invite the candidate for a level test to determine whether the candidate can start the theory programme on a higher level.
First round: video audition
For the first round, the candidate needs to record 2 videos that contain:
- Video 1: A short introduction of him/herself in English: talk about your musical experiences, your motivation to study music, your main subject and why you choose to audition at Conservatorium Maastricht.
- Video 2: In the second video, the candidate demonstrates his/her artistic and technical skills. The video should be recorded in one take, without cuts or any edits. The candidate should start by speaking their name and student number of Conservatorium Maastricht. The video should contain 30 minutes of music, including pieces of contrasting musical styles, era and character. We are interested in seeing how you present yourself and your abilities through your programme. In case you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Anneleen Lenaerts (anneleen.lenaerts@zuyd.nl)
Additional video’s (not required): The candidate may provide concert video registrations.
The videos should be uploaded to an online platform such as YouTube.com or Vimeo.com. It is the candidate’s responsibility to make sure that the video links work.
Second round: Live audition
The committee may decide to invite the candidate for an online or in-person live audition after reviewing the video material. The repertoire for the live audition remains the same. Additional repertoire requests can be made by the committee.
