Auditioning at The Collective Global Vision

Because we require our students to have a basic level of skill, and so we can place you in the program that’s best for you, you’ll need to complete an audition to apply to the school. We will evaluate your current level and place you in the program that best suits your needs. If we feel that you need more rudimentary studies to take advantage of our certificate or diploma programs, we may suggest you start with our Prep-A and Prep-B programs. If you are somewhat advanced, we may suggest you start in one of our more advanced programs. Please complete as many sections of the audition as you can. If there is something you can’t do, don’t worry about it and skip ahead. The audition is simply to place you in the program to suit your level.

The audition can be completed in person at our New York City location, or submitted electronically with your application. To set up an audition in person, please contact us at admissions@thecollective.edu. Your playing should be unaccompanied except for a metronome (if desired).

Application and audition materials, in most cases, are due a minimum of one week prior to the start date for the quarter to which you are applying. Please note that spots are limited, therefore, it is recommended that all materials be submitted well in advance.
