Each audition is about 10-15 minutes long, and we promise not to bite! Here are the pieces of the audition:
- Scales and some easy warm-ups -- Theo will lead you through these
- Pitch matching -- Theo will play a few notes and you sing them back
- A brief group blending and dynamics exercise
- A few measures of sight reading
- A solo song of your choice! This can be from any genre, from classical to pop to jazz to musical theater (one member even auditioned with a song from the TV show Family Guy!). Try to keep your piece to about 30-60 seconds -- about the length of a verse and a chorus -- and you will sing a capella (without accompaniment).
