* Perform from memory two songs of different styles, at least one being classical

* Sight singing

* Vocalizing on scales and arpeggios

UNH:

Voice: 1 Italian aria, preferably from the 24 Italian Songs & Arias of the 17th & 18th Century anthology, and 1 English Art Song. Be prepared to sight read and sing back 3 and 4 note patterns.

I can say that neither of these audition requirements are very stringent – probably not the most difficult (or prestigious) program to get into. This could be good or bad, depending on what you’re looking for…

I can tell you, if you’re planning on vocal performance, and are talented enough to pull it off, you should be going for the best schools. Here’s Eastman’s audition requirements:

BM

Three pieces in varying musical styles, in three different languages, one of which may be English. Non-native speakers of English must perform one piece in English.

See the difference?

Good luck.
