Music Day

The annual UM MUSIC DAY is scheduled for Friday, February 15, 2008 in the Department of Music at The University of Montana.  We invite junior and senior high school students to come to our campus that day for a full schedule of activities designed to acquaint high school musicians with opportunities at UM. Music Day registration forms for ensemble directors are available by clicking here: Music Day Registration Form . If you are a student, and would like to register individually, please e-mail our Music Office to register for Music Day or to schedule a scholarship audition.

The UM Music Day includes the chance for seniors interested in attending The University of Montana to audition for Music Talent Scholarships.  If you have any questions about the requirements or need further information, please feel free to call the Music Department office at 243-6880.  Vocalists auditioning will be provided an accompanist and must be prepared with two songs from memory, one of which is to be in a foreign language.  Scholarship auditions will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, February 2nd.  Students may also audition Saturday, February 23, 2008.  Students unable to attend any of these dates should contact the music department about setting up an audition.
