����ֱ��app

• One Recording Per Student
• Only speaking will be to introduce the student
• You do not need to make a professional style recording. The recording just needs to be clear and understandable. Using your phone/computer is acceptable.

Start audition recording

• The teacher reads the following:
• “This is (student name). Auditioning for (alto or soprano) from (school name).”
  • Example: This is Jack the Rabbit. Auditioning for alto from ����ֱ��app.

Melody Echo Patterns

• Teacher sings or plays on the piano each of the following melodic examples.
• Do not sing and play.
• After each example is played or sung the student echoes (a cappella) using the syllable “loo”.
  • Exercise 1
  • Exercise 2
  • Exercise 3

Prepared Song

• Give the student the starting pitch G. Do not play any other type of introduction.
• The student should sing the vocal line as written. Do not alter the rhythm or the pitches.
• The student should complete the song a cappella.
• The teacher may accompany the first two measures.
• The song must be sung straight through without stopping.

Post Recording Steps

• Listen through the entire recording to make sure all elements were recorded and that everything is clear and understandable.
