Audition Information
A performance audition is required for acceptance into the degree programs of the California State University, Long Beach Department of Music. All entering freshmen and undergraduate transfer students who have been admitted to the university are required to pass a performance audition. Audition procedures vary for undergraduate, transfer, and graduate candidates. Please access the Jazz Studies Handbook (see left margin) for details on the audition requirements and procedures.
The Theory Placement Exam is a diagnostic test used to determine the appropriate level of theory in which the student should enroll. The test is offered on each audition day and the first Friday of each semester.
