Scholarship Audition Requirements

Chorus and Encore

Students interested in auditioning for a Chorus Scholarship should be prepared to do the following:

Perform a memorized solo- This should be a piece that shows your abilities at their best. CD or instrumental accompaniments are encouraged. If you need an accompanist, you must contact Mrs. Markham to arrange for one.

Match pitch patterns 鈥� Several brief pitch patterns (i.e., short series of notes) will be played on the piano.聽 You will be asked to listen to and immediately 鈥渆cho鈥� each pattern by singing what you hear.聽 This will be used to measure your ability to hear pitches and accurately match them with your voice.

Sight-sing several short melodies 鈥� For each melody, a key orientation and starting pitch will be given.聽 You will then be asked to sing the melody (unaccompanied) by reading the notated music.聽 You may use a sight-singing method (e.g., solfege or numbers) but it is not required.聽 This will be used to assess your music literacy level.
