This should be easy!! Applicants need to do only a few steps to apply for admission into the Conservatory. All applicants for the Conservatory must file the UMKC Application and the Conservatory's Supplemental Admission and Audition Application. You may scroll down the page to follow each section sequentially or you may want to take the shortcuts below if there is something specific that you want to access quickly.
Start Here All applicants to the Conservatory must apply to the University of Missouri-Kansas City via the main admissions office. Click here for access to the general and international applications. Along with the UMKC application are a few extra items that also need to be submitted. Please check the categories below to see which one applies to your application process. Send these materials to the address listed on the UMKC application form. All Applicants Complete and submit the Conservatory Supplemental Audition Application form. Because Conservatory auditions are scheduled 30 days prior to each audition date, your application must be received by that time. This is not a postmark date. Auditions are scheduled only upon receipt of the written application; please do not call or e-mail requesting an audition time. Download and return the Conservatory Recommendation forms; you'll need three recommendations. You may also choose to submit letters of recommendation rather than using our forms.

** Please read carefully! ** 1. To assure adequate scheduling and notification procedures, all Conservatory application materials must be submitted at least 30 days prior to the requested audition date. Audition dates and rooms will be confirmed approximately four weeks prior to the scheduled audition. Auditions must be completed by March 7, 2008 in order to be guaranteed full scholarship consideration and eligibility. 2. All applicants are advised to audition on campus. If scheduling difficulties or distances are insurmountable, applicants should request to audition by CD or DVD. Your CD or DVD MUST accompany your audition request and MUST be received 30 days prior to the regularly scheduled audition date requested. Any recorded materials received become property of the Conservatory. Applicants not auditioning on the Kansas City campus may be required to audition live, in person before final acceptance into the Conservatory. 3. Auditions should be scheduled only in the major performing area. If a student is highly proficient in more than one instrument, he/she may audition in more than one area. Each audition will require a separate Audition Request Form 4. All voice auditions must be accompanied and UMKC will provide staff accompanists for all voice auditions. Accompanists for orchestral instruments and classical guitar are not required and will not be provided. There is no fee for an accompanist. 5. The auditioning committee will have the option of hearing as much of the prepared repertoire, in whole or in part, as it deems necessary to assess the applicant's ability. Each applicant may choose the first piece to be performed. Applicants will perform an audition consisting of works from the standard repertoire. Scales and sight-reading may be requested. More detailed information and suggestions are available from the appropriate applied faculty member. UNDERGRADUATE auditions are usually 10-minutes in length.
