The entrance audition demonstrates the student's ability to sing in tune, with correct rhythm, and good vocal quality.
For Music Education, Music Therapy, and BA applicants, please choose two pieces from the following list. For Vocal Performance applicants, please choose three:
- One 16th-18th century Italian song or aria, in Italian
- One 19th or 20th century German or French art song. Original language is recommended, but this piece may be sung in English.
- One 20th or 21st century American or British art song
- One additional song of your choice from traditional vocal literature (musical theater selections, jazz, or original compositions are not acceptable).
The selections must be chosen from the standard classical vocal repertoire, show contrasting musical and historical styles, and include at least one language other than English. All selections must be memorized.
If you have any questions about your selections, please contact Professor Constance Fee (Director of Vocal Studies) at fee_constance@roberts.edu.
An accompanist will be provided upon request. In this case, music scores must be sent to the RWC Music Office at least three weeks prior to the audition date.
