    Audition process

    Prior to the audition, you will be asked to prepare two contrasting pieces. Remember to bring a copy of your music for the members of the audition panel. Given the time constraints for each audition, it is likely you will only have the opportunity to play a portion of each piece. If the members of the panel ask you to stop playing at a certain point, this does not mean the performance is going badly. Being asked to stop is not an indication of anything but a lack of time.

    After the performance component of the audition, you will undertake a short aural quiz, followed by a brief discussion with the panel. They may ask about your musical experiences, what sort of music you like, and what else you intend to study. You will be able to ask questions and the members of the audition panel will answer to the best of their ability. During your audition, one of the panel members will look at your prepared portfolio. The whole audition process may take as little as 10 minutes. The length of the audition, however, is no indication of its success.

    Alumni Testimonial Deborah Katona
    I stumbled into finishing a History major almost by accident. I was advised to study subjects I found interesting and was naturally drawn to the history units; they extended my knowledge and I was challenged to think critically about issues raised. After graduating, I completed the graduate program at the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, although I've also had the opportunity to fill positions with other departments within the public service. The environment I work in can be demanding and complex, and I constantly apply the critical thinking, analysis and writing skills developed during my degree course in a professional setting.

    Arts Alumni Testimonial David Bunting
    I chose Archaeology because I could merge my interests of history, geography and anthropology with the outdoors. My studies and experiences have led to a number of opportunities working with a variety of Aboriginal groups as a consultant archaeologist with a range of resources companies such as FMG, Rio Tinto, Newcrest Mining and various government departments such as Main Roads. I have worked at BHP in a variety of heritage-related roles and have since shifted to a broader role which involves community development and sustainability planning.
