- Eligibility
Re-auditioning is not required for Traditional performance music (taonga pūoro, taiko, and koto). Music performance (contemporary, jazz, and Western classical) are taught in a sequence of papers running from 100 to 300-level (and beyond) in a cumulative skills-based learning sequence. It is therefore expected that students will learn their performance discipline continuously from one year to the next.
Students who take a break in their studies of a year or more will be required to re-audition to check that they are still at the standard necessary for the paper. Students who have taken a semester’s break in their studies may also be requested to re-audition. Please contact the office at spa@otago.ac.nz for more information on the audition process or see this page.
