Pre-college students (ages 9-18) enter by audition and placement.  
See the Pre-College page.  

Performance Auditions.  Anyone who wants to perform in a choral or instrumental ensemble is auditioned and placed by the appropriate Program Director.  Performance opportunities exist for solo, small chamber music ensembles, chamber orchestra, choral ensembles, and concert band. 
These groups are for pre-college musicians, but occasional exceptions may be made for older performers.  (See the Pre-College page.)

Composers may submit finished and in-progress works for their audition.
Works may be presented in digital format, but must not be composed in digital format. Composers in the Pre-College program must also demonstrate competence on one instrument.  Major music colleges also require instrumental competence for entry to their composition programs.

Children (ages 3-10) have open enrollment and are placed by the Children's Program Director.  Advanced young performers may also audition to participate in a chamber music ensemble. Some children may be approved to perform in the Pre-College Performance Hour with their teachers' approval.

Adults in the Literature and Materials of Music class are approved and placed by the the Adult Program Director. Students must have studied music previously  and be able to read music to qualify for this class. 

Special - One Time - Classes have open enrollment for the community-at-large.  Students and families currently enrolled in the Academy are also welcome to join these classes.
