Music at Butler Weekend - Auditions

We strongly encourage you to audition for Butler University's Jordan College of Fine Arts School of Music during a Music at Butler Weekend. Each weekend is packed with activities and information designed to give you a glimpse inside the School of Music at Butler. The Weekend includes the following:

  • 8:45am registration in the east Lobby of Lilly Hall. Audition times will be distributed at registration
  • Message from the Jordan College of Fine Arts associate dean
  • Conversation with the School of Music chair and students
  • Music theory placment test
  • Tours of the Music facilities, Jordan College of Fine Arts complex, Clowes Memorial Hall and the Butler University campus
  • Lunch with faculty in one of the dining halls
  • Financial aid session
  • Observation of classes and rehearsals
  • Interest sessions for Music Education and Arts Administration
  • Overnight opportunity with a student host
  • Evening showcase with performances by Music faculty or students.

We believe this experience will give you an inside look at what we mean by Music at Butler, and will ultimately help you make an informed college decision. This will allow you to experience a little bit of campus life. (After all, there's more to college than practice rooms.)

Auditions begin mid-day on Friday and continue through late afternoon. It may be necessary for some areas to continue auditions on Saturday morning, but only after Friday spots are filled. Exact audition times are subject to change, so audition schedules are distributed during Friday morning registration. The program is scheduled to close by noon on Saturday.

To schedule your audition and other Music at Butler Weekend activities please follow the application procedures outlined here. You can find Music at Butler Weekend dates and audition requirements here.
