Asbury University

Vocal Auditions: (If you need additional information about vocal auditions, please contact Dr. Vicki Bell by e-mail at vicki.bell@asbury.edu or telephone 859-858-3511, ext. 2245)

Prospective students performing a vocal audition sing two selections - one in English and a second item in a foreign language. For scholarship consideration, the two songs should present contrasting styles of classical-tradition art songs from the Baroque, Classic, Romantic, and/or Twentieth-Century periods of music history. An accompanist will be provided for on-campus vocal auditions, though a student may bring his or her own accompanist if desired. (Recorded accompaniments are not acceptable.)

Please be sure when making photocopies of music for an accompanist that all lines of the piano parts appear on the photocopy. (Overly large pages may need to be reduced slightly.) Following the prepared solos, vocalists should also be prepared for two short sight-singing demonstrations.
