Selkirk College

All students must meet Selkirk College entrance requirements as outlined in the College calendar. Regular admission requires completion of Grade 12 or equivalent with a “C” or better in ENGL 12. Prior music and band training is a definite asset. Mature students without the above qualifications may be considered for admission following an interview. International students may apply for admission under the College’s international education admissions policy.

An audition/interview to assess instrumental ability, music reading, theory and ear training, is required before admission. Applicants who meet the entry requirements will be advised of the time and place for the audition. Applicants are expected to attend scheduled auditions in person however, if you live a long distance from the College, other arrangements can be made. The audition process must be completed before May 30. A music teacher must invigilate the exam(s), if completing the tests by mail.

Applicants who perform an exceptional audition but who do not meet the theory and ear training standard will be required to attend a two-week theory preparation course in August. This class will provide basic level entrance requirements for the applicant. The applicant must have a minimum final grade of 75% in both the ear training and the theory sections to be accepted into the Music Program in September.
