What the audition
asks of you

Two contrasting songs

Both must be memorized. Choose two selections from different categories below so the panel hears contrast.

• Musical theater standards
• Art song in French, Italian or German
• Gospel repertoire that demonstrates your mastery of the genre
• R&B repertoire that fits your range and vocal ability

Sight reading

Two short passages, given to you at the audition.

• A rhythmic passage, four to eight measures in simple quadruple meter
• A melodic passage, four to eight measures in C, F or G

This is not a pass/fail process and does not count against your score. It tells the director where to start with you, not whether to take you.

Interview

A short conversation with the Director of Choral Activities. The questions are published below — there is nothing to catch you out.
