Vocal

The MAS Vocal family consists of a united group of students, parents, alumni, teachers and administrators working toward our goal of building musical skills into performances that inspire our community, country and world. We provide a safe environment for expression using music from a variety of cultures, religions, and time periods. In addition to being musically skilled, MAS Vocal students and alumni will be able to apply the value of hard work, community service, collaboration, and respect to any career they choose.

Applicants will be asked to perform their prepared piece, sight read, and sing a familiar melody. The sight reading will be used for selecting the correct class level and not for admission to the program.

Please bring a photograph to the audition, not to exceed 5”X7”. Print your name on the back of the photo along with the program you are auditioning for.

 Applicants will prepare for performance, with or without accompaniment, one memorized song either from traditional classical repertoire (i.e. any piece from the 24 Italian Arias book) or the American songbook sung in a jazz style.
