Butler School of Music Undergraduate Shadow Day Request

Spring 2026 Shadow Days Available

We invite admitted music students and Fall 2027 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 are available Monday to Friday between March 2 and April 24.

We require at least two weeks-notice (ten business days) to make arrangements.
We will do our best to accommodate all Shadow Day requests; however, we cannot guarantee your requested date.
We are unable to host students during the University's Spring Break, held March 15-20.

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.
