Please use the link at the bottom of this page to upload your prescreening materials in multiple files. There is a $10 fee to use this service.
Piano applicants are also reminded to be aware of the high school requirements for admission to Rice University.
Preliminary submission is by video and is identical to the audition requirements
Good audio quality helps the faculty make an accurate assessment of your playing. The faculty would prefer a recording that does not have compressed dynamics. Try, if possible, to set your recording levels manually. Please set the automatic volume to the "off" position.
Required repertoire for both preliminary submission and live audition
A minimum of thirty minutes of memorized repertoire representing four of the following five style periods: Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Impressionist/Early 20th-century, or Post-1950. Applicants must include a complete Sonata for the Classical period. Scales and arpeggios will not be required.
Audition dates are January 23, 28, or February 11, 2025.
If you are under the age of 18 at the time of your audition, we will need this form filled out.
