Applied lessons in violin, viola, cello and double bass are an integral part of the six degree programs offered at the Hayes School of Music. 
The String/Guitar Audition
The audition consists of a solo (or solos) of the student's choice that contains contrasting musical styles and tempi. Literature should be chosen that allows the student to demonstrate his/her present level of performance. The student may be asked to perform scales/arpeggios and to sight read appropriate literature. The School of Music schedules three audition dates each year. In addition, individual appointments for auditions are possible throughout the year.
Scholarships for String Musicians
Music scholarships are granted by the School of Music after a prospective student has successfully completed an audition/interview and has been accepted for admission to the University. The amount of scholarship support is determined by talent and financial need. Scholarships usually are awarded for a specific period of time (e.g., four academic years, one academic year, one semester). Click here for more information.
