Position:Home>Performing Arts> Help with vocal music auditions at Laguardia High School?

ive never heard of that school, but i live in Australia, where i go to a selective Music School!.
for my audition, i had to do a prepared piece on my first preference instrument, do a sightreading piece, play some basic scales on my second preference, then answer some basic theory questions, and do a voice audition (to show both quality of voice and my aural skills)

for my voice audition, we were played something on piano, told the key it was in, then asked to sing it back in solfa!. dont worry, they will either play it twice for you if its long, or else if its short, they will understand if you make a mistake, if you tell them you dont really have any aural experience!.
Are you accustomed to singing in solfa!? im not sure if your school will expect that or not, mine expects it for everything, but if its not on the audition process, then probably not!.

try something that shows off your range, (ie, something that is mainly in the range you sound best in, but also has enough high/low notes to sound difficult!. make sure you can hit the notes though)
are you thinking of a classical or modern song!?
i sang "Lacrymosa" for mine (you wont have heard of it, its by a local author)!. i chose it because its quite high (im a soprano with a voice much stronger on the high notes) so it sounds difficult, and the low notes in it are low enough to prove my range, but not so low i cant sing them!. also it had good dynamics, and showed my memory skills (its in latin)


find a song thats right for you!. what are your favourites!? you need something within your range, (or something easily transposed), but something that you sound good singing, but that shows off the best parts of your voice!.
is yours particularly strong!? whats your pitch and intonation like!? are you alto or soprano!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
