No audition = no course

Dear applicants,

 This is a lengthy post but it explains what you need to do to get on a course.

It was great to speak to most of you last Monday and thanks for your questions.
Well done to all of you who have submitted video links to us since then. You have now joined the applicants who passed their face to face auditions earlier in the year and the others who had already sent us video auditions.

If you did not tune in last Monday then here is the video of the presentation.





Some of you are still unsure about how to get onto the course so I’ll break it down here.


To get onto the course you need to pass an audition. 

 (Irrespective of what the system says about your application, if we have not approved your audition then you will not be studying on the course.)
At the moment those auditions are video links that are sent in by you. [We cannot audition you face to face]
If you have shown the skills required to succeed on the course then we will change your offer from ‘conditional offer’ to ‘conditional offer (learner to accept)’ You will then need to go onto the EBS system and accept the offer.


Here are the audition requirements for each pathway


Level 2 Music: Email us a link to a videoed performance piece on your main instrument.

Music & Performing Arts course introduction

Dear applicant, Thanks for choosing to study at the Music and Performing Arts Department of Westminster Kingsway College. I’d like to invite you to an online presentation on Monday at 3.30pm about the department and what you can expect from your course, particularly how we will be delivering lessons in response to Covid-19. There is the opportunity to ask questions by typing in the chat feature. Teachers will respond in the chat and I will respond to some questions at the end of the presentation. To start the course you must pass an audition. If you have not had an audition or sent us a link to your audition video yet then make sure you send it in ASAP so you can enjoy the summer knowing that you have been offered a place. You should receive a message about how to upload this to our new system. I can talk about this on Monday. Join us by clicking the link below on Monday at 3.30.
