WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

1.  Study and be ready to sing the following:
•Major scale (use solfege, numbers, neutral syllable such as "la")
•Chromatic scale (use solfege, neutral syllable or other phrases)
•Musical Example.  Sing Happy Birthday using the recording that best suits you.

2.  Record yourself singing the above elements using the recordings below.
The best way to do this is to play it through a computer/tablet and record onto your phone.  Voice recorders provided with most mobile phones work nicely for this purpose, as do recorders on computers and iPads/tablets.

3.  Fill out this form and attach your recordings on or before 11:59 pm on Saturday, May 9.  Earlier is better!

4.  If you are interested in Bellissima, Chamber Chorale or Estetica, please check back here after noon on Sunday, May 11.  If you have been called back, you *may* need to complete an individual interview that day.   The interview will comprise of sight-reading and perhaps some simple questions about your musical experiences.

Anyone interested in these groups must have completed the recording process by May 9; no exceptions will be made unless a personnel change is necessitated.

Questions?  Please email Ms. Katemopoulos.
MUSICAL ELEMENTS (ALL AUDITIONEES)

You need to record and sing all 3 things:  Major scale, chromatic scale, and "Happy Birthday."
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.  Find the sample which best suits your range.
Key of F.  This will work well for most people.
Key of D.  This will work well for those with a lower range.
Key of C. This will work well for unchanged voices.
