Please play the following:
- 2 major scales and 2 minor scales of your choice.
- One piece of solo literature for your instrument (this can be a sonata, concerto, solo from a piece of band or orchestra music, in popular or classical styles). If you're auditioning for jazz, this should be one chorus of a standard, which includes one chorus of you improvising (no backing track is necessary).
To include more students in the act of making music, we are drawing the circle wider by immediately eliminating the audition requirement for the Concert Choir this year. Professor De La Rosa has taught choir for many years and can teach anyone to read music and sing in a group. Come experience the joy of singing this Fall.

You are encouraged to connect with Professor De La Rosa, but an audition for choir is no longer necessary.
