Roosevelt Jazz AuditionsVocal Jazz auditions:
Tues. June 10 2:30 - 4:30, Weds. June 11 2:30 - 4:30 All auditions will take place in the Roosevelt Band Room. Auditions for Vocal Jazz Ensemble are held each year in June. The vocal jazz program stresses teamwork, dedication and harmony. Sightreading and prior vocal performance experience is preferred but not required. Instrumental students should be prepared to demonstrate technique, style, sightreading and improvisation. It is not necessary to bring in a prepared piece, but if the student has something prepared which demonstrates his/her abilities, Mr. Brown will listen to a short portion of the piece. Emphasis will be on reading ability, understanding of jazz style and vocabulary and maturity of sound and swing. All instrumental students should arrive before NOON in order to draw numbers for audition order. Late arrivals will be scheduled last, or may not get an audition spot. Do not expect to get into a Roosevelt Jazz instrumental ensemble if you have not been playing over the summer. On the other hand...if you're interested in Jazz at Roosevelt...GO FOR IT!! Participation in summer jazz camps in addition to private lessons is highly recommended. Scott Brown |
