Due to COVID-19 and the safety measures being taken on the USF campus, the Fine Arts Department will be holding virtual scholarship auditions during the 2020-2021 academic year. A combination of prerecorded solo work and live Zoom appointments will allow our directors to see your best work as a performer and as a person.
Vocal Auditions
- Singers perform two memorized vocal solos of contrasting styles (i.e., an Italian art song and an English folk tune) – perhaps pieces you've taken to contest in the past. Foreign language repertoire is encouraged but not required.
- We follow up the solo work with sight-reading, tonal memory and a short interview to get to know you better.
- An accompanist is required for vocal auditions.
Instrumental Auditions
- Instrumentalists perform either two short pieces in contrasting styles or one longer piece that has contrasting sections.
- We follow up the solo work with sight-reading and a short interview to get to know you better.
- An accompanist is not required for instrumental auditions, but you may use one if you prefer.
