We have provided the music and tracks for five songs, as well as all of the materials necessary to prepare and perform them in your video audition. You can use these resources to help you in your preparation, but you can also sing any song that you are comfortable with. You do not have to sing on top of an instrumental track, but are encouraged to do so. Please make sure that your voice is easy to hear above the track. You may also use a live accompanist. If you have any difficulty in preparation, we have student mentors who are available to help you with the logistics of your audition, and workshops where you can obtain help to prepare and record your piece. More information will be provided on this page as it becomes available. You will also find a helpful how-to video on this website in preparing your video.
