Auditions are open to students who plan to be voice majors (either vocal performance or vocal music education) in the Fall of 2009. Scholarships will range from $1,085 to 100% of in-state tuition per semester. Selection of recipients will be by audition-only before the Arkansas State University voice faculty with criteria based on vocal potential, musicianship and scholarship.
Students wishing to audition for voice scholarships (music majors) should prepare two contrasting songs. At least one song should be from the classical repertoire, and one of the selections may be from musical theatre repertoire.
All auditions must utilize piano accompaniment. No recorded accompaniments will be accepted. If a pianist is needed, one will be provided by Arkansas State University if copies of music selections are sent with the application or one week prior to audition. Those using an ASU accompanist will be assigned a rehearsal time upon receipt of application.
Students wishing to audition must complete the application form, enclose teacher recommendation, and return no later than March 7, 2009.
