Students intending to major in Music or Music Education should prepare two pieces in contrasting style on their primary instrument. For singers, this might include an art song and a folksong or aria. For instrumentalists this may include standard works, etudes or extended excerpts from concertos. Typically, the repertoire prepared for an audition would be similar to music prepared for state solo and ensemble festivals. Solos do not have to be memorized. An accompanist may be made available upon request, however students may choose to perform without accompaniment.
Musical Theatre students should prepare two standard musical theatre solos.
