Congratulations on taking the first step to becoming a Herron student!
Herron students must be admitted to IU Indianapolis in order to attend Herron. Complete the online application by clicking the "Step 1" button below.
After you are accepted, we will have you submit a portfolio.
Your portfolio is an opportunity to show us who you are as a musician, creator, collaborator, and prospective student. We recognize that students come to music through many different paths. Your portfolio does not need to demonstrate professional-level performance or production skills. We are interested in your current abilities, your experiences with music, your creative interests, and your potential for growth.
After you receive your acceptance to the University, in the IU Indy Navigator Portal you'll see an option on the left for "Supplemental Applications" and then either "Music Technology Portfolio" or Music Therapy Portfolio"
We'll ask for 3 examples, approximately 1-3 minutes each. These do not need to be professional recordings, cell phone or web capture is wonderful. The key is just that things be audible and visible.
For each example, we'll ask you to describe your role in creating or performing it. Submitted work should represent your own performance or creative contribution. We recognize that recordings may include collaborators or existing compositions; simply identify your contribution clearly.
Accepted file types: .wav, .mp3, .mov, .mp4
Your portfolio examples might include:
Please submit three short examples that help us understand your current musicianship. If possible, we encourage you to include examples of singing, guitar, and piano/keyboard. We understand that applicants have different musical backgrounds and may not yet have experience with all three instruments. Lack of access to a particular instrument will not prevent consideration of your application.
