Admission to the Dewberry School of Music is a Two-Step Process for all levels of study.
Admission to George Mason University does not guarantee your acceptance into our programs. However, all College of Visual and Performing Arts majors must be admitted to George Mason. Please submit an application to the University prior to completing your Dewberry School of Music application.
Audition Days
Audition days begin with an information session for students and parents about the Dewberry School of Music, followed by a meeting with the students and our student ambassadors. Students are then able to begin warming up for their audition. There will be opportunities for tours of the music facilities, as well as full campus tours given by admissions. Register for a full campus tour. Find a list of audition day dates under the appropriate section below.
For any questions about auditions or the application process, email our Auditions and Recruitment Coordinator, Christina Ortiz, at cortiz21@gmu.edu or call 703-993-1380.
“There is not enough space here to articulate my gratitude. The dedicated faculty at George Mason supported me, encouraged me, and provided me with a top-rate music education at the postgraduate level. Most importantly, my professors all modeled excellence in academics, musicianship, professionalism, leadership, and pedagogy. I have tried to carry this forward in my role as a conductor, educator, and administrator.” – DMA student
