Vocal  Auditions  
All  students  who  would  like  to  audition  for  a  vocal  scholarship  (Concert  Choir  or  JC  Voices)  must  attend  one  of  the  
published  audition  dates.      See  the  fine  arts  homepage  for  current  audition  dates.    You  may  secure  an  audition  time  by  
phoning  (601)  477-­‐4094.    An  accompanist  will  be  provided  for  you,  but  if  you  prefer,  you  may  bring  your  own  
accompanist.      
Specific  Vocal  Audition  Requirements:  
1. Sing  one  art  song  (English,  Italian,  German,  or  French).      OPTIONAL:    You  may  sing  a  second  piece  in  a  contrasting
style.
Because  the  vocal  instrument  at  the  freshman  level  is  usually  in  the  elementary  stages  of  growth,  the  particular  
selection  presented  should  show  evidence  of  the  following:    freedom,  pleasantness  and  naturalness  of  quality;  
production  technique;  range,  and  musical  expressiveness.      The  singing  of  difficult,  vocally  demanding,  dramatic  
literature  is  discouraged.      
2. Sightsing  a  short  melody
The  example  provided  for  you  will  contain  primarily  stepwise  melodies  and  skips  of  a  third  and  will  be  in  simple  
meter.    You  may  sing  on  solfege,  numbers,  or  a  neutral  syllable.    The  following  is  a  sample  melody.  
(insert  melody  here)  
3. Vocalize
You  will  be  asked  to  sing  (with  the  piano)  a  simple  vocal  exercise  to  determine  your  range.  
4. Perform  tonal  memory  exercises
A  melody  containing  3-­‐8  notes  will  be  played;  after  which,  you  will  be  asked  to  reproduce  that  melody  without  
the  aid  of  the  piano.
