If you are interested in auditioning, please review the audition requirements below, fill out the Audition Form and CONTACT me to schedule a time.

Audition Procedure:

  1. Please prepare an a capella solo song that shows your voice to best advantage. Classical repertoire is preferred, but any song of your choosing is acceptable. If you do not have a song at your audition, you will be asked to sing the “Star Spangled Banner.”

  2. You will be asked to sing scales to demonstrate your range.

  3. It is preferred that you have some sight-reading ability. Sight reading will be offered in two ways. First, you will be given single lines of music with a starting pitch and key, and you will sing these lines on your own. Second, you will be asked to sight-sing your voice-part in a four-part choral piece while the other parts are being played or sung.

  4. For tonal memory, several examples will be played on the piano and you will be asked to sing back what you hear.
