It is not too difficult for music students to study abroad, and the requirements GRE； as follows:

1. Language scores

To go to Commonwealth countries, they must pass IELTS (ranging from 6. to 7.5), while to go to the United States, they must pass TOEFL (ranging from 6 to 1). A few schools accept IELTS and TOEFL, and go to the United States to study for postgraduate or theoretical degrees. To go to Germany, you have to pass Telford TestDaf or DSH (to meet certain class requirements or at least intermediate German level). When the language is not up to standard, you can choose to go abroad to study language classes, which usually last for several months to one or two years, and charge tuition fees.

2. Application materials

Transcripts, language scores, 2-3 letters of recommendation, personal statement/professional resume, music list, portfolio (audio/video recording), and essay/writing samples

3. Portfolio requirements

Undergraduate:

Before starting the music portfolio, students must choose the target institutions and majors. Every school has its own portfolio requirements. If it is not prepared according to the requirements of the school, it is natural to be rejected. Some majors and schools will also have specific repertoire requirements, so we must study the specific requirements before the collection.

Postgraduate:

Music colleges generally require a Pre-screening of submitted works, and different schools have different requirements. If the applicant's Pre-screening works pass the examination of the admission committee, they will be invited to participate in Live Audition on campus. There are many requirements for auditions, generally 3-5 works of different styles in different periods, and the requirements are recitation. Some schools will also require solfeggio and music theory knowledge tests.

It is very important to choose the specific purpose of playing music. It will be of great help to apply for a song that is good at it, not just showing off its skills, but also collecting its own performance style and school preferences. ?

4. Interview requirements

Music performance majors need an interview (audio and video interview or on-site interview, or pre-audit audio and video before on-site interview). Composition majors need to submit their own works as well as recordings, and music theory majors need to submit papers.

The repertoire requirements for on-site interview are generally 3-4 works of different periods and styles, depending on the requirements of major universities. Some schools will then have solfeggio or solfeggio exams. Some schools come to China to recruit students every year, usually at the end of the year or the beginning of the year, and conduct on-site interviews in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

In some schools, there will be an Interview after the interview. The professor will ask you about your past experience, future plans, study plans, etc. Applicants majoring in theory and composition should prepare a statement of their papers or works.
