Transfer Students

If you are currently on a music scholarship at your institution, before any offer of admission to a music degree and/or a music scholarship can be presented by the OU School of Music, the dean or director of your current school must send a scholarship release letter to Kaitlin Kendel at the School of Music. Please send your release letter to:

Kaitlin Kendel
500 West Boyd St.
Room 138
Norman, OK 73019

You have selected both a major and minor degree. The University does not allow you to both major and minor within the same school. If you are not sure yet whether you want to major or minor, you are welcome to audition for both and decide later which degree to pursue.

In order to be accepted as a music education student, you must complete an interview with music education faculty. In the next section, you will need to check at least one of the Music Education options. If you are interested in interviewing for both, you may check both boxes.

In order to pursue a Bachelor of Music in Piano Pedagogy degree, you must audition with Piano faculty. We automatically checked Piano in the next section.

In order to be accepted as a composition student, you must complete an interview with composition faculty. We automatically checked Composition in the next section.

In order to be accepted into the Jazz Minor or the Instrumental Jazz Concentration of the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree, you must audition with jazz faculty. We automatically checked Jazz in the next section.

In order to pursue an instrumental music education degree, you must also audition with an instrumental studio. Please select an instrument above.

In order to pursue a vocal music education degree, you must also audition on voice. Please select Voice under Primary area(s).

You only need to interview with music education faculty if you are interested in pursuing a Bachelor of Music Education degree. Either select Bachelor of Music Education as a degree interest, or uncheck the Music Education area(s) you checked under "Primary area(s)".

You only need to interview with composition faculty if you are interested in pursuing a Bachelor of Music in Composition. Either select Bachelor of Music in Composition as a degree interest, or uncheck Composition under "Primary area(s)".

You only need to interview with Jazz faculty if you are interested in pursuing the Jazz Minor or the Instrumental Jazz Concentration of the Bachelor of Arts in Music. Either select one of those degrees as a degree interest, or uncheck Jazz under "Primary area(s)".

You have checked an applied studio (instrument or voice) without checking an associated degree interest. Note: composition majors do not need to audition with an applied studio. Note: students pursuing the jazz minor do not need to audition with an applied studio.

One of your degrees is missing a required primary area. Select an appropriate primary area above. All degrees except Bachelor of Music in Composition and Jazz Minor require an audition with one of the applied studios.

You have selected multiple applied (instrument or voice) studios. To be clear: on this form, you only need to select the area(s) with which you are considering pursuing a degree. Your selections here do not limit your participation in ensembles or choirs. Ensemble auditions take place at the start of each semester, and they are open to all students. The auditions you are signing up for with this form determine whether or not you are accepted into specific music degree programs with these studios. If you are unsure which studio you want to pursue a degree with, you are welcome to audition for more than one. It is uncommon, but it is possible to pursue degrees with more than one applied studio. If you have any questions, please contact Kaitlin Kendel at undergradmusic@ou.edu@ou.edu or (405) 325-3856.

You will need to contact the appropriate professor(s) to schedule your audition(s) or interview(s). When you submit the form, you will receive an email with more information about who to contact. Students who complete all necessary audition(s) / interview(s) before March 1 will receive priority for music scholarships.
