    Questions & Answers

    Are scholarships available?
    Yes, but only to students in the Residential 6-week option.
     
    I have a family member who lives in Pittsburgh. If I live with them for the summer, can I register for the Part-time: Commuter option?
    No. To be eligible as a Commuter student, the parent or legal guardian must have a permanent residence within approximately 30 miles of campus or within Allegheny County. There are no exceptions to this policy. Families who relocate temporarily to the Pittsburgh area are not eligible for commuter status.
     
    What will I have to play for orchestra, wind ensemble, or chamber music placement auditions?
    You should arrive with an example of your best playing to present to the directors of the different ensembles. We are asking for these auditions for placement purposes only. This is not a ‘get-admitted-into-the-conservatory’ audition. The attitude is casual and relaxed. There are no repertoire requirements for these auditions. Think ‘example of my best playing.’ An excerpt of a movement or an etude would be good options.
