Record a video that captures your audition performance. Upload the video to YouTube (or another streaming site) and email the link to Adam Hill. On the video portion of your audition, please include the following:

• Perform two prepared pieces of your choice that demonstrate contrasting styles (tempo, genre, range, etc.). For this part of the audition, you may self-accompany with another instrument, collaborate with an accompanist, or perform with a backing track. You may also perform one of the pieces unaccompanied, if stylistically appropriate. Both pieces should be memorized, if possible.
• Sing the following scales on any pitch, one octave, ascending and descending, using any syllables (solfege may be used, but is not necessary):  
  • Major  
  • Natural Minor   

Following receipt of your video audition, you will be scheduled for a video meeting with SoPA faculty members. In this interactive portion of the audition, you will be asked to:

• Improvise over a 12-bar blues. You may hear the pattern once and then improvise over it the second time. Any syllables may be used.
• Read a short musical example
• Match a series of pitches with your voice
• Engage in a short call and response
• Participate in a conversation about your musical experience and goals
