Audition Piece:

 

"Alleluia" is sung as a round with the recording. Choose the key that best suits the singer. The singer enters at measure 5 and sings the round twice through. ​

​​

Scales:

 

Singers will be asked to sing a major scale as written on this scale sheet.

​

Sight-Reading:

​

A sight-reading excerpt will be provided and will meet these criteria:

 

• It will be in the same major key as the scale the student just sang.

• It will be in 4/4 time.

• It will begin and end on the tonic.

• It will consist almost entirely of scalar motion; any leaps will be to the tonic.

• Rhythms may include whole, half, quarter, and eighth notes.

​

Here are examples of comparable difficulty.

 

Students will be given the starting pitch and one minute to look at the example. All methods of sight-singing are acceptable (solfege, numbers, neutral syllables).
