Students wishing to begin composition study in their first year of BMus must submit the following:

• A portfolio of scores and recordings for at least two original compositions that total at least 5 to 7 minutes. While students may submit their own arrangements of music written by other composers in addition to their original compositions, they will be primarily assessed on their original compositions. Of these original works, at least one of the compositions should be notated in Western musical notation. If a live recording of a work is not available, a MIDI/electronic rendering of a work will be acceptable.
  
• Short program notes (approx. 100 words) explaining the inspiration or process behind the compositions.
• A short essay (300-500 words) outlining your career and creative aspirations and why you believe studies in composition will help you achieve these goals.
