Butler School of Music Undergraduate Shadow Day Request

Shadow Days Available, Fall 2025

We invite prospective students to experience a day in the life of a Butler School student with a music major host! Plan to reserve 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for your Shadow Day, during which you'll attend music classes and rehearsals. Your final schedule may differ based on your host student's class and rehearsal schedule.

Shadow Days in the fall semester are available Monday to Friday between September 15 and November 15. We require at least two weeks-notice (ten business days) to make arrangements.

The University of Texas at Austin will not take custodial responsibility of minors while participating in a Shadow Day. Custodial responsibility will remain with teachers, parents, legal guardians and chaperones.
