Description

The Tulane University Musicianship Scholarship is only open to applicants who have designated Music as their first or second major on their admission application. Portfolios should adhere to one of the following music pathways: Jazz Studies, Music Composition, Music Performance (Instrumental), Music Performance (Vocal), and Musical Theatre. Jazz studies students should provide three or more contrasting pieces, at least one of which is a standard. These pieces will only be considered if they are videotaped. Music Composition students should provide sheet music and/or recordings of two to four original pieces in any style. The pieces do not need to be complete; sketches, pieces in progress, and improvisations are all acceptable. For the Music Performance (Instrumental) category, piano students should prepare movements from three pieces in contrasting periods (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, or Modern), including at least one a major work. Other instrumentalists should prepare a major piece, such as a movement of a standard concerto, a shorter contrasting piece, and an etude. These pieces will only be considered if they are videotaped. For the Music Performance (Vocal) category, vocal performance students should prepare three complete songs or arias (no cuts) in contrasting styles, including at least one in a foreign language. These pieces will only be considered if they are videotaped. Musical theatre students should prepare three complete songs (no cuts) in contrasting styles, including at least one predating 1980. An art song or aria in English or a foreign language is acceptable. Students may also include an optional one-minute monologue. These pieces will only be considered if they are videotaped. All scholarships require students to apply through an early application round (Early Decision I or II or Early Action).
