Additional Information
Please see the information on https://www.ram.ac.uk/study/audition. The entry point for this course is Year 1. London in-person auditions for your Principal Study are not pre-screened. Video and International auditions: for details about how to prepare a video audition or your prescreening recordings, please see the Audition Requirements section for your Department on https://www.ram.ac.uk/study/departments.
# Video Portfolio #
For all candidates, in addition to your written proposal, your Acceptd profile must include video recordings of a minimum of two works of your own choice from contrasting periods and/or featuring contrasting musical challenges. At least one should relate in some way to your proposed specialism. Each item should be an unedited performance, recorded either as a live performance or under ‘studio’ conditions. If your specialism includes an ensemble focus you should include ensemble work.
• For candidates applying to audition by video recording or at one of our international centres with prescreening, you can use those performance videos if they are appropriate, or you can add separate recordings.
• For candidates applying for a London in-person audition, the video portfolio and written proposal will normally be reviewed before your audition.
