This is why the admission test can naturally be conducted remotely via a video recording of the choir rehearsal and a Zoom meeting for the interview. This is optional.<\/p>\n<p>The admission test consists of 2 different parts:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Choir leading (30 minutes):<\/strong><br \/>\nThe applicant works with a mid\/upper-level vocal ensemble consisting of 12 singers (or more) and a minimum of 4 voice parts. It is optional to show up in person on campus with your vocal ensemble or conduct the admission test via a video recording. The applicant demonstrates attention to detail on already learned material, as well as prepares a given assignment set by RAMA in advance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Interview<\/strong><strong> and voice and piano test (30 minutes):<\/strong><br \/>\nIn connection with the interview, a piano and singing test\u00a0will be conducted.<\/p>\n<h4>Important dates<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Apply no later than\u00a0<strong>December 1, 2026 &#8211;<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>here<\/strong>.
