Repertoire requirements
– Two contrasting pieces
– Classical style (as in no jazz or pop)
– Memorization is not required

Accompaniment
– Piano accompaniment is not required for online auditions
– Optional backup piano track is suggested for instrumentalists, and highly recommended for singers
– If using a backup track, ensure that it is only the accompaniment in the recording, and that you are not singing on top of someone else’s voice
– If using a backup track, play the track on a device that is separate from the one on which you are recording your video
– If you choose not to use a backup track, we will be looking closely at consistency of intonation and rhythmic accuracy
