Three pieces from the concert repertoire and from contrasting eras (e.g., works by Milan, Dowland, J. S. Bach, Weiss, Sor, Giuliani, Carcassi, Aguado, Tarrega, Villa-Lobos, Brouwer, Ponce).
Scales (two and three octaves); arpeggio exercises for the right hand; slurs and trills for the left hand. Sight-reading. Performance from memory is not required but encouraged.
Note: All guitarists must audition on nylon string classical guitar. Guitarists auditioning for the B.M. in the jazz studies degree program must, after completing the classical audition, perform three standard jazz pieces (e.g., Parker, Ellington, Davis) on the electric instrument. Both the classical and jazz auditions may take place during the same scheduled time.
