and then simply singing it. Your attention to detail on preparing a
polished and prepared song reflects a qualified singer for the advanced
groups.

VOCALIZING You will be asked to perform vocal exercises to
determine your vocal quality and range. Posture, knowledge of vowel
structure, intonation and focus will be evaluated.

MELODIC SIGHTREADING See the examples attached. Remember
you will hear a scale and a triad, study the example and listen to the triad
played.

PITCH MATCHING A series of 4 or/and 5 pitches will be played on
the piano and the singer will sing them back on Loo.

Please prepare for this audition, this is not
something you can throw together a day or
two before. Practice with friends. Know that
you will be placed in the choir that best
matches your skills.

Some students will be called back for Madrigal Singers Callback on
THURSDAY May 29 at 3:00 to 6:00PM You need to plan on staying for
