Incoming Students: Commercial Music Program

Commercial Music Entrance Portfolio
Submission Students applying for the B.M. in Commercial Music at UVU must submit a portfolio in addition to their performance audition. Be sure to schedule a performance audition with the area coordinator who oversees your primary instrument/voice.

Portfolios should include 1-2 examples of materials that represent your work/interest in the commercial music field.

Please see below for more details:

Portfolio submissions may include original songs (notated with melody and chords), original scores (notated on staff paper), a demo of work in a digital audio workstation (final mix or mockup), a CV, and/or accompanying audio or explanations when appropriate.

Other materials that will be considered, but are weighted less would include recordings/videos of you performing in a contemporary genre, chord charts without traditional notation, or recordings/mixes produced outside of a digital audio workstation.

Proficiency in a notation software/digital audio workstation is preferred but not required.

All applications will be reviewed. Experience on a primary instrument is also considered for acceptance.

Our Music Technology Certificate is available to all incoming students and does not require an audition or portfolio review.
