Auditions

Every year, applicants tell us that they enjoy auditioning at Trinity Laban. Our audition procedure is designed to enable us to find out about you - not just how good a performer or composer you are, but what sort of a person you are, and to assess whether you have the potential to be the sort of musician who will benefit from the approach that we have. We aim to provide a positive and friendly atmosphere, and we want you to enjoy yourself.
Audition Information
You will be notified of your audition information via the email
account you submitted on your CUKAS application. Please
ensure that you check this account regularly as you will not
receive any information from Trinity through the mail.
Please check the filtering services on your email account and
ensure that messages from the email address c.jones@trinitylaban.ac.uk
do not go to your junk mail folder, as you may otherwise miss vital
information.
You will normally receive detailed information about the
audition process along with your appointment sheet, no later
than two weeks prior to your audition date.
Please note, it may not always be possible to give applicants
for this session two weeks notice of their audition date.
Applicants should also note that the audition fee is
non-refundable.
The deadline for on-time applications is 1st
October.
Trinity does not offer deferred entry.
