Audition Process
•Bullet: Admission to the BM Music Education - Choral Education concentration is through Henderson State's undergraduate application; participating in the choral scholarship audition is optional and used for performance-scholarship consideration only.
•Bullet: For the voice audition, prepare one memorized solo song in any language (not a choral piece); a short interview helps faculty learn why the auditionee wants to be a choral teacher/director.
•Bullet: Aural skills, sight-singing, and rhythm skills are also assessed: auditionees hear short phrases played at the keyboard and sing them back, plus a short sight-reading example.
Audition Expectations
•Bullet: In-person and virtual scholarship-audition options are available; a virtual audition submits the solo piece via an unlisted YouTube or Google Drive link two days before a scheduled virtual interview and aural-skills session.
•Bullet: Only two of the four scheduled audition dates offer a virtual option; the source does not name which two, so confirm with Dr. Barranco before choosing a date.
Post-Enrollment
•Bullet: Prospective music majors complete a music-theory and aural-skills diagnostic exam for course placement; it does not affect scholarship eligibility or award amount.
