Admissions: Audition Requirements: Vocal Music
Vocal music applicants will perform one of the following selections:
The Star Spangled Banner
America (My Country ‘Tis of Thee)
Lift Every Voice and Sing
Amazing Grace
All auditions should be performed from memory. The applicant may bring his/her own accompanist, or one will be provided by the school. Should a copy of the musical selection be needed, please call the school at 346-5620 ext. 101 to request that one be mailed to you. Applicants may not sing a cappella.
In addition to the audition piece, applicants should be prepared to perform a vocalise/warm-up (as directed by the voice faculty), demonstrate their skills in tonal recall (after the playing of three to five random pitches the auditioner sings it back on “la”), and be able to sight read rhythmic and melodic examples.
