Please refer to the performance standards for complete audition information.
All instrumentalists should come well prepared with a solo or étude for the audition.

Prepare something that you feel comfortable playing. Auditions will be four to eight minutes long (depending on the instrument), with some call-backs.

Jazz auditions may include sight-reading and improvisation.

Pianists (including jazz pianists) should bring two pieces of an intermediate or higher level. One piece must be memorized and “performance ready;” the other should be in progress.

String participants need to have one piece memorized and “performance ready;” a second should be in progress. String participants should also be prepared to play scales. Violinists must play a three-octave D-major scale.

Vocalists should come with two songs memorized and ready to perform.
