Apple Hill encourages musicians of all skill levels, and admissions are considered according to availability.
Placement recordings should be submitted via CD or DVD (DVDs are preferred). Emailed mp3s or links to online media clips, such as YouTube, are also acceptable. Youtube links must remain active through May 18. All media must be clearly labeled with your name, instrument, and the session(s) to which you are applying.
Applicants should include 2 or 3 selections of contrasting periods and styles. One of the selections should be a chamber/collaborative work (please note which part you are playing). A sonata or duo can suffice for your chamber music selection. We strongly recommend that returning participants send a new recording every year.
