The required method for submitting your prescreen recording is through our ArtsApp portal, at www.artsapp.com/umdmusic. You will need to register at ArtsApp, and submit your audition materials by December 1 for graduate applicants. Notification will be sent by December 24.

ArtsApp accepts the following format types:

  1. Audio (.mp3, .mp4, .m4a)

Total portfolio size needs to be under 6 GB, with a maximum file size of 1.2 GB. Please upload each piece as its own file.

When uploading video, please use a broadband connection (plugin your computer, not just wifi) for a faster upload.
