AUDITION/INTERVIEW INFORMATION

From the College of Music audition schedule page

UNT College of Music In-Person Auditions/Interviews - Denton, Texas:

  • Friday, February 4, 2022: This is the only date available for DMA Jazz applicants. 

AUDITION REQUIREMENTS

Applicants to this program must choose as their principal instrument one of those instruments for which we have one or more full-time faculty members in the Jazz Studies division: saxophone, trumpet, trombone, piano, guitar, bass, drumset, voice, and jazz strings (violin, viola, cello). If you are invited for an on-campus audition/interview, you'll be asked to send a sample of your research-based writing from your master's degree work in advance of the audition. It doesn't have to be a master's thesis. It can be a research paper from a class. It should be on a jazz-related topic. The interview will cover your career goals, research interests, teaching interests, and the writing sample.

 

Bass

We have a limited number of openings for Doctoral level bass students. Please email Professor Lynn Seaton to find out if there is room in the program and an available TA/TF position. Email: lynn.seaton@unt.edu

UNT is an upright oriented program.  Placement into most lab bands does require ability to play upright and electric well.   A typical DMA applicant has a very high degree of proficiency on the double bass, a clear command of the jazz language, and the ability to use the bow.   The most qualified candidate has spent time after MM graduation gaining professional experience, has a history of being active in the ISB and JEN, has made recordings, and is an active player at a high level in addition to academic study.

Pre-Screening video recordings are required of all DMA jazz bass applicants. Each selection on the video recording should be an uninterrupted, unedited, continuous performance.  Include up to five tunes of contrasting tempo and style.  In one of the selections include a portion that demonstrates your ability to play something with a bow.  Try to include groups of different sizes (from duo, trio to big band) to demonstrate a variety of performance capabilities.   These must be with a live ensemble.  Playing with tracks is not acceptable.    

Confirmation of a live audition and interview date will be sent by email approximately one month prior to the audition.

Play a live audition and interview for admission into the College of Music that will contain some of the following:

  • All of the required skills at the Graduate level
  • Ability to improvise a stylistically appropriate bass line and solo on a chart of complex jazz harmony (e.g. Wayne Shorter or Thelonious Monk tunes, etc.)

  • Ability to solo and improvise a walking bass line on common jazz variations on a 12 bar blues progressions in all 12 keys

  • Ability to solo and improvise a walking bass line on the progression to "I Got Rhythm" (Rhythm Changes) in all 12 keys
  • Ability to play: the melody, an improvised bass line, and solo on several jazz tunes/standards from memory.
 Please bring a two-part list of songs that you know from memory. One section of that list will be ten (or more) tunes you know with the melody and chords. The second will be a section of fifteen (or more) tunes that you know only the chords. Please bring 4 copies of lead sheets for all the tunes on your list from both sections. There will be a live rhythm section of talented students that will accompany you in your live audition. You will perform selected tunes from both sections.
  • Ability to sight-read bass line charts with written lines in several different rhythmic styles (swing, bossa nova, rock, funk, etc.)

  • Ability to sight-read an improvised walking bass line on a chart of a jazz chord progression
  • Ability to play at least two contrasting pieces in the classical style is recommended. At least two years of college-level classical double bass lessons experience is highly recommended.  Attention will be paid to time feel, stylistic authenticity, technical proficiency, tone, musical background, overall musicianship, and potential for development. Even if you do a live audition for admission, submitting a video is still necessary for scholarship consideration.

You will participate in an interview where you may be asked to discuss your academic writing sample, jazz bass history, and describe your research interests, career goals, and preferred teaching assignments.  There will be time to answer questions.

 

Composition

The study within this degree program culminates with a work of approximately 25 minutes for symphonic jazz orchestra (orchestral instrumentation with rhythm section – extra horns, electronic or percussion instruments, and voices are optional) with improvisation occupying no more than one third of the composition.

Frequently-Asked Questions

Q. What is the deadline for applications?

A. The College of Music sets the deadline this way: "To be considered for admission in the Fall semester, preference will be given to applications received by the first Monday in December. Applications received after that date will be reviewed, and auditions will be scheduled on a case by case basis depending on space availability."

Q. Is the Major performance part of the degree (the private lessons, large ensemble, and small group) in the jazz or classical idiom?

A. Jazz.

Q. What sort of job can I get with the DMA in Performance with a local concentration in Jazz Studies?

A. We expect that most if not all of the students in the program will be earning the doctoral degree in order to seek academic positions, including teaching positions and academic leadership positions such as Director of Jazz Studies.

Q. What kind of preparation do you expect students to have? A certain degree in a certain field?

A. Our entrance standard will be measured against a completed Master of Music degree in Jazz Studies at UNT, just as we consider the completed Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Studies at UNT as the standard for admission to our M.M. in Jazz Studies. A master's degree in Jazz Studies is the most relevant kind of preparation, along with professional experience. A master's degree in a closely-related field, with a substantial amount of work in jazz at the master's level, would be next most relevant kind of preparation.

Students who lack this level of preparation, but otherwise meet the admission requirements (pass the audition, have high enough GPA and GRE score [remember--GRE Analytical Writing section only, not the entire GRE; or take the jazz studies in-house writing exam after admission]), may be assigned review courses at the master's level. These add time to completion of the degree and don't count towards the degree.

Q. What sort of financial aid do you provide to doctoral students?

A. Many doctoral students will be offered teaching fellowships or assistantships in Jazz Studies. For out of state students, this enables the student to pay tuition at the in-state rate. One of the things that make this an excellent place to earn a doctoral degree is the fact that our undergraduate and master's programs are large (190 and 70 majors, respectively). That means there will be a variety of opportunities to gain teaching experience while earning the degree. A small number of doctoral students will be offered full tuition scholarships along with a teaching fellowship.

Q. How much does a teaching fellowship pay?

A. The current pay rate for a full-time teaching fellowship (20 hours per week of teaching including some time for preparation) for a student who has earned 18 or more graduate hours is $1,422 per month.

Q. What sorts of teaching do teaching fellows and teaching assistants do?

A. Examples of teaching assignments can be found on our faculty page.

Q. What is the cost of tuition and fees at UNT?

A. A full class assignment for a grad student is 9 semester hours. For current information on tuition and UNT fees, see this page. There are College of Music fees on top of that that can amount to several hundred dollars per semester depending on which classes a student is taking. As of Fall 2015, UNT provides a scholarship that covers 6 graduate credits per semester for all full-time teaching assistants or teaching fellows, and most of our doctoral students will be full-time TAs or TFs.

Q. How many doctoral students do you plan to admit?

A. The program will be selective. We anticipate admitting around five students the first year.

Q. You want applicants to submit recordings and play an on-campus audition?

A. Correct. We will study the recordings along with the documents you send as we prepare to listen to your on-campus audition and have the interview while you are here for the on-campus audition.

Q. I just completed a master's degree. Am I eligible to apply?

A. You are eligible to apply. The Jazz Studies faculty has expressed a preference for applicants who have professional experience along with academic training. Some students may have had professional experience before starting their master's work, or may have had professional experiences mixed in with their academic work. There is not a rule that prevents a student from continuing from a master's into our doctoral program. But if the only experience a student has is academic, that application will not be as competitive as applications that show extensive professional experiences.

Q. When you write "professional experience," do you mean only performing?

A. We mean performing, teaching, composing/arranging, or other professional experiences, or some combination.

Q. What is the residency requirement?

A. From the graduate catalog*: "The minimum residence requirement for jazz studies students consists of two consecutive long terms/semesters (fall and the following spring, or spring and the following fall) with a minimum load of 9 hours each term/semester."

*To find the graduate catalog at this link, select the "Undergraduate Catalog" tab, scroll down, and then select the "Graduate Catalog" tab

Q. Will I be able to complete all of the course work in two long semesters?

A. It will take longer than two long semesters to complete all of the required course work.

Q. Are any of the required classes offered online?

A. Not at present.

Q. How many of the required classes are offered in summer sessions?

A. Few of the jazz classes are offered in summer sessions. Courses for the music theory/music history component and the related field are.

Q. Which instruments can students in this program have as their principal instrument?

A. The instruments for which we have one or more full-time faculty members in the Jazz Studies division: saxophone, trumpet, trombone, voice, piano, guitar, violin, composition, viola, cello, bass, drumset.
