02.08.01.02 Registration Process

Any student requesting Eastman lessons for the first time must obtain an audition form from the College Music Department–Todd 207. The student will be informed of the appropriate Eastman auditioner’s name, phone number and the date, time and place of the audition.

The audition will be the basis for placing students with a graduate teaching assistant, class instruction, or in exceptional cases in a studio with an Eastman faculty.

A student auditioning below the intermediate level will not be eligible for collegiate instruction. He/she will be recommended to the Eastman Community Music School (ECMS). Note that lessons taken through the Eastman Community Music School do not earn collegiate credit. Students who pass the audition will be given a permission code, which will enable them to register for their secondary lessons via the online registration system.

Any student who is taking secondary lessons during the fall semester of an academic year may pre-register for the spring semester during the appropriate pre-registration period.

All returning students for Eastman secondary lessons must pre-register during the spring semester for “secondary staff” instruction during the next fall semester.
