Audition
Requirements for the Trumpet Studio
UTSA has a tradition of investing in, recognizing, and encouraging
promising musicians who seek careers in music. Former UTSA scholarship
recipients and graduates are successfully teaching in public schools
and universities, attending prestigious graduate schools, conducting
professional ensembles, performing in major orchestras, producing their
own weekly television programs, and winning prestigious performance
competitions. Former students include a past winner of the Steinway
Piano Competition and the National Metropolitan Opera Auditions.
UTSA Music Scholarships are awarded to talented students who wish
to major in music at UTSA. Scholarships may also be available to non-music
majors based on ensemble needs. Outstanding students will be awarded
scholarships based on auditions and other supporting information, in
addition to the needs of the Department of Music. Students who wish
to be considered for a music scholarship at their audition must check
the appropriate box on the audition application. Note: Students planning
to audition on May 21 (Winds/Percussion) will be considered for acceptance
only.
