Auditions:

Being accepted into the music program is a two-part process. You must apply for acceptance by the University (based on your marks) through the Admissions Office. They will send you a letter confirming

or denying your acceptance.

If you are accepted by the University, you must also pass your audition. Please follow the

“Audition Form and Guidelines” link (below) for detailed audition information.

Live auditions are by appointment. If you choose to audition in person, please e-mail me (tomahon@stfx.ca) or phone (902-867-5123) to set up an appointment. Please include the word

“Audition” in the subject line to prevent it from being deleted as spam. Please download the Audition Application form and follow the link to the Audition Application Requirements for more detailed information about the audition itself.

Auditions are normally held in March and April for the following Fall semester.

Students will be notified of their acceptance by mid-April.

All auditions are held in my office (Gilmora Hall, Room 209). Please bring sticks, brushes, mallets,

and two (2) copies of any music you wish to perform (e.g. snare drum etude, mallet etude, etc.).

If you sent me an e-mail regarding an audition and I have not responded for several days, it may have

been deleted by my spam filter. Please resend your message or phone my office to contact me

directly. You may also wish to phone the department secretary at (902) 867-2106 for any additional enquiries.
