Lesson Auditions

Piano Lesson Auditions

Wednesday, January 22, 2025, 5:00–6:30 p.m. in Skinner, Room 223
Sign up for an audition in advance by filling out the Piano Audition Google Form.

Please prepare 2–5 minutes of music for the audition. Beginners are welcome; if you are not in a position to prepare a piece, please sign up for an audition to come and state your reasons for wishing to take up the piano.

Once you have chosen an audition time, please make a record of your audition time, as it will disappear from view once you have submitted the form.

Any questions about the audition process may be directed at any time to Thomas Sauer. We look forward to meeting you soon.

Voice Lesson Auditions

Information for Spring 2025 auditions will be updated in December 2024. 

Students will be encouraged to prepare one classical vocal piece in any language, preferably memorized. Please be ready to bring a copy of the music with piano accompaniment, as an accompanist will be provided. Students who do not have a classical piece prepared may also present selections from musical theatre or other music genres.

Please check back in December for the audition sign-up form and further information.
