General Guidelines are as follows
Dress neatly but comfortably for your audition. Although it is your performance that counts, part of the first impression that you make is visual.
Arrive at the audition site at least one half hour before your actual audition time so that you can become familiar with and feel comfortable in the environment. The practice rooms will be available for warm-up purposes.
Choose repertoire that represents your best playing or singing. You must have two or more contrasting selections prepared, one that is more technical in nature, and one that is more lyrical in nature.
More is NOT better. It is wiser to play or sing less music that is well prepared than more music that is unprepared.
Bring a short repertoire list to your audition.
Your audition will last approximately 10 minutes in length. Be prepared to start promptly. You may be stopped before you finish singing or playing your audition pieces. This is due to time restrictions; it is not a reflection of the listeners' opinion of your performance.
An accompanist will be provided for your audition. Make sure that your music is in order and legible. Also, make sure that your music is in the correct key; do not expect the accompanist to transpose your selections at sight.
You will feel more at ease if you play or sing music you have successfully performed before. To feel more prepared, arrange to perform for your school group, church, friends, or relatives before your audition.
Record yourself one or two weeks before the audition. Review of the recording will help you make sure your performance is technically accurate as well as musical.
