In addition, singers are encouraged to audition singing vocal works in two different languages (one of which may be English). It is recommended that singers and pianists audition from memory.

Only the music faculty hears the auditions, after which they rank the applicants on the basis of musicality, technique, and level of difficulty of the repertoire performed at the audition.

Applicants needing an accompanist should mail or fax the accompaniments (in the correct key) to the staff accompanist no later than one week before the audition date.
