Warm-ups: The audition will begin with some simple warm-ups to test the singers range and how they transition through the different parts of their voice.
Prepared Piece: The prepared piece will be handed out with part tracks a few weeks before auditions. Each student auditioning is responsible for learning their own part before the audition.
Tonal Recall: A melody will be played for each student twice and they will sing it back. This is used to assess a students ability to recall pitches and rhythms quickly.
Melodic and Rhythmic Sight Reading: We will use Sight Reading Factory to generate different sight readings. The student will have 30 seconds for both sight reading examples to practice before they sing it. The student will also have the choice of what level they will be tested on and the total possible points will varying depending on the level selected.
