Springfield, OH 45501

Or send via fax: 937-327-7347. Or send via email: dkazez@wittenberg.edu.

Audition Location, Parking, and Accommodations

Auditions are held in Krieg Hall (the music building), at 680 N. Woodlawn Ave.

Free parking is available in the Student Center Parking Lot (across the street from Krieg Hall, on the other side of Ward Street), and in the Krieg Hall Parking Lot (just to the east side of Krieg Hall). If you are visiting Wittenberg from out of town, you might wish to check this list of Springfield hotels.

Scholarship Details

Music scholarships are renewable annually, as long as you are in good academic standing and you fulfill the requirements of the scholarship (see below). All students, regardless of major, are eligible; music majors are eligible for the highest music scholarships. Financial need is not a determining factor for music scholarships. For information on need-based financial aid, click here. If you have any questions on music scholarships, please contact:

Dr. Daniel Kazez, Professor of Music
Music Admissions Coordinator
dkazez@wittenberg.edu
tel: 800-677-7558, extension 7354

To maintain a talent-based scholarship in music, a student must fulfill these conditions:

  1. Every semester on campus, successfully participate in a large music ensemble (subject to the annual review and revision by the large ensemble directors):
    Voice - Wittenberg Choir or Wittenberg Singers
    Woodwind, brass, percussion - Wittenberg Symphonic Band
    Strings - Wittenberg Chamber Orchestra
    Other instruments - An assigned ensemble appropriate for the student
  2. Every semester on campus, successfully participate in applied music lessons, with a grade of at least B- on a cumulative basis. You will be billed for these applied music lessons; however, your music scholarship award is sufficient to cover this expense.
