Applicants must present two selections in any language; operatic literature is not expected. Memorization is required and an accompanist will be provided in Ann Arbor if requested. You should not choose the most advanced voice literature for your audition. Aural skills may also be assessed at Ann Arbor auditions. Auditionees will hear several short phrases played at the keyboard and be asked to sing them.
Curriculum B Only
Applicants to Voice Performance Curriculum B will also be scheduled for both an interview with a representative of the Department of Music Education and a piano audition. For the piano audition, be prepared to play a composition from the standard repertoire (such as Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Clementi, Chopin, Bartók, or Kabalevsky). Memorization of the piano piece is preferred. Sight-reading, harmonization, and transposition skills will be tested in order to determine your keyboard placement.
Voice Principal
(Requirements for singers applying to degrees other than performance)
Prepare two constrating pieces. Memorization is required and an accompanist will be provided in Ann Arbor if requested. Aural skills may also be assessed at Ann Arbor auditions. Auditionees will hear several short phrases played at the keyboard and be asked to sing them. If you have had no private voice training, we suggest that you ask your school or church choir director for assistance in preparing for the audition.
