Graduate School Entrance Exam
Hi everyone! I was recently accepted into graduate school for an MM in Vocal Pedagogy. There is a competency exam on music theory/ear training content that all incoming graduate students need to pass before enrolling in theory courses.
I know that these exams are different for each school, but I was wondering if anyone who has taken a similar exam can share what it was like and how you prepared. Did it include things like written theory analysis, interval/chord ID, dictation, or sight singing? Any advice on what to review would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Edit: The school has not released a study guide or any details about the exam yet, I’m just hoping to prepare early before starting in the fall :)
