This needs to be in English and at least 1,500 words. The written work should focus on a musical topic, with academic bibliography and references. You'll also need to present a 20-minute audition where you play a varied programme focusing on Western classical repertoire. The audition should include a brief spoken introduction to the programme, discussing the repertoire performed. This needs to be spoken in English.
