Vocal Auditions
Vocal Scholarship Auditions
Listed below are suggestions that will help ensure the success of your vocal scholarship
audition.
- You should arrive 15-30 minutes prior to the audition time in order to have appropriate warm-up time.
- You should have your music memorized, if possible.
- You should seek help from your voice teacher, minister of music, or high school choral director in the selection and preparation of music. These professionals will know vocal literature that will best suit your voice, assuring, therefore, a better audition on your part, and as a result, a better vocal scholarship.
- You should be prepared to sing two selections, preferably from art song (classical) or music theatre (Broadway) literature. It is not required that you sing in a foreign language although it is permissible. All-region and All-state solo literature is acceptable.
- You may bring your own accompanist or we will be pleased to assist you with one of our staff accompanists. Piano accompaniment is preferable to taped accompaniment.
Students are encouraged to follow the above listed guidelines. It has been established
that the most effective development of the singing voice is best achieved through
the study and singing of classical literature.
Our goal is to assist the student in the development of a superior vocal technique.
Once this vocal technique is mastered, the student should be capable of singing a
variety of types of music with equal artistry.
