What do I need to bring to the audition?  Please prepare two contrasting solo pieces. Our program is a classical music program, so we would like to hear you sing pieces from the Classical Art Song Repertoire.  These songs should be songs unto themselves and not solos picked from a choral piece. We would like to hear you sing a song in English and a song in a language other than English.  A song in Italian, German, French or Spanish would be perfect. Your English piece can be a Music Theatre selection but please do not present anything that could be considered "pop""hip-hop" or "rap" music.  There are very good programs that teach students how to sing in this way, but our program does not.  We will provide an accompanist for you.  You will also be asked to do some short ear training and sight singing exercises.  Please dress appropriately for the audition.  Wear something you would wear to a job interview in an office or at an important family gathering.  Thank you for your interest in our program.  If you have any other questions please email me at aradford@csufresno.edu.
