Crane School of Music | SUNY Potsdam

Voice Audition Information

The Crane School of Music offers two graduate programs leading to the Master of Music (MM) degree in music education and music performance. These programs are designed to meet student interests, needs and requirements within a framework that provides opportunities to pursue a balance of academic and professionally oriented courses.

Voice (MM)

Graduate music performance candidates must perform five memorized pieces from the standard classical vocal literature, including:

• - Pieces in English, French, German and Italian
• - Two arias of contrasting styles and periods (could include works from opera, operetta, oratorio, cantata or concert arias)
• 
  
• Note: Musical theatre, jazz and pop styles are not accepted

Accompanist information:

Accompanists are provided for all voice auditions (both on- and off-campus). There is a $30 non-refundable fee, which must be paid when the audition is scheduled. Please review these recommendations for providing music for our accompanists.

* Voice students who are auditioning for two or more majors, one of which is the Bachelor of Music degree in musical performance, should prepare only the undergraduate performance-level audition.
