Voice Audition Information

​

 

 

 

 

Piano (BM) 

 

 

 

l  Perform an audition, up to 20 minutes, on your major instrument for the appropriate faculty.

 

l  Your audition should include four memorized solos, scales and sight-reading:

 

ü  A Bach Prelude and Fugue or other major work by Bach involving a fugue

ü  A sonata-allegro movement from a work of Haydn, Mozart, or Beethoven

ü  A Romantic work by composers such as Chopin, Brahms, and Schumann

ü  A 20th century work by composers such as Debussy, Bartok or other major composers writing after 1900

 

    l  Candidates will be asked to sight-read at least two passages and demonstrate knowledge of major and minor scales.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Organ BM)

 

 

l  Perform an audition, up to twenty minutes, on your major instrument for the keyboard faculty.

 

l  Students wishing to audition on organ should prepare at least three works written specifically for organ (not transcriptions or arrangements) in contrasting styles comprising a total of twenty minutes of music.

 

ü  One of the selections should be a composition by J. S. Bach—we suggest a chorale prelude from the Orgelbüchlein or a work that incorporates a fugue.

 

l  All the pieces should be chosen carefully to reflect the student’s best work, and do not necessarily have to be the most difficult works possible.

 

l  The audition pieces will correspond to the student’s experience and technical proficiency. Memorized performance in encouraged for at least one of the audition pieces.

 

l  All students auditioning on organ will be afforded no less than one hour to prepare at the instrument where the audition will be heard.

l  Many prospective organ majors choose to also audition in piano performance, and we encourage this. If, however, a student does not also play a piano performance audition, the organ professor will arrange a ten-minute meeting with the student on the audition day to assess basic keyboard skills such as sight-reading, scales,  and rudimentary harmonization of a melody. Performance of a solo piano piece is not necessary for this assessment.
