Vocal Sight Singing/Tonal Memory
Some examples of sight singing and tonal memory; this should give students a pretty good idea of what to expect at the audition. Junior All-State Chorus repertoire can be either/both SATB or 3-part mixed, depending on the conductor's program choices. Therefore, it should be understood that boys should be able to read both bass and treble clefs. For the audition, the sight-reading example for Junior tenors and basses will be notated in bass clef.
