Should a selection not be approved, the candidate will be notified and be given an opportunity to choose another song. When choosing a song, keep in mind that classical music is usually more competitive as it gives the judges more insight into your vocal ability and training.

  • All audition pieces should be memorized.

  • At the time of the audition, each participant must give the judges a copy of the musical selection being performed.
