Department of Music
Voice Audition Requirements

1. Prepare two songs of the classical vocal solo tradition (i.e., Italian, Latin, French, German or English art song; African American spiritual or American folksong; and/or an aria). One of these should be in English. A song from the standard musical theater repertoire may be substituted for one of the songs of the classical music tradition. Please note that choral works and popular songs (e.g., country, gospel, contemporary Christian, praise and worship, rhythm and blues, urban, pop, jazz, etc.) are not acceptable.
2. The audition may include sight singing in addition to the performance of the prepared songs.
3. The Music Department will provide an accompanist. Music for the accompanist should be in either original form or two-sided copies in a black binder. Recorded accompaniment is discouraged. The singer may provide his/her own accompanist.
4. Professional attire is recommended.
