The audition is followed by a short interview in which prospective students can discuss their plans for future music study. Please note that late auditions can be arranged if necessary. Should you live outside of Western Australia it is possible to submit a DVD of your performance in lieu of a live audition; however this must be accompanied by a certified letter that states the authenticity of the recording along with copies of other documentation as required. In all cases however an in situ audition is highly recommended.
