Record a video that captures your audition performance. Upload the video to YouTube (or another streaming site) and email the link to Adam Hill. On the video portion of your audition, please include the following:

• Perform two prepared pieces of your choice that demonstrate contrasting styles (different tempos, genres, dramatic character, etc.). For this part of the audition, you may perform with a backing track, but a backing track is not required. If performing with a backing track, please make sure the volume balance is adjusted so that your performance is clearly audible above the backing track. 
• Play the following scales (two octaves, ascending and descending) on roots A, D, B-flat, and E-flat:  
  • Major  
  • Natural Minor  

Following receipt of your video audition, you will be scheduled for a video meeting with SoPA faculty members. In this interactive portion of the audition, you will be asked to:

• Improvise a solo to a 12-bar blues
• Read a short musical example
• Match a pitch with your voice
• Engage in a short call and response
• Participate in a conversation about your musical experience and goals
