VOCAL STUDIES
Development of the disciplines and skills required of performers and music educators is an integral part of a student’s training at La Sierra University.
Students enrolled in the vocal arts program at La Sierra have a successful history, and they have found our music classes to be a meaningful extension of traditional college curriculum.

ENTRANCE AUDITION
Applicants for bachelor degrees in music must pass an entrance audition. Auditions should demonstrate the applicant’s musical and technical ability. Students who do not pass the entrance audition at the time of enrollment will not be eligible for Music Major in Good Standing status and will be placed on probationary status. Students will have two quarters in residence to pass the entrance audition. Any applied lessons taken before successfully completing the entrance exam must be taken at the 100 level. These 100 level lessons are not eligible for tuition waiver and cannot be applied towards the music major requirement. Students from the local area are expected to audition in person; others may submit a good quality video recording.
