AUDITION PROTOCOL


Please plan to arrive early to use a West Hall practice room to assemble your instrument and warm-up prior to your audition time.  Please arrive 5 minutes prior to your audition start time, and please wait on the couch in the hallway until the door opens.

  1. Scales (any two major scales).  You will perform one in long tones, e.g. half notes at quarter=60 and the other staccato sixteenth notes at quarter = 60.  
    *Nb. Singers – Professor Whalen will warm you up to get a sense of your range and resonance
  2. A 2–3-minute excerpt of your solo piece, performed unaccompanied.  
    Students auditioning for Choir will sing a 2–3-minute solo piece of their choosing, unaccompanied.
  3. Audition Excerpts for your instrument, linked here
