Fall 2008 Ensemble Audition Music
General Info
All Music Majors are required to audition for the appropriate ensemble each semester.
Non-Music Majors are invited to audition for the ensembles listed below.
Remember, all students wishing to be a Music Major must complete, and pass, an Entrance Audition.
Choir Auditions
Auditions for the SHSU Choral Ensembles will be held near the beginning of classes in the fall semester. Each new and returning choir member should register for an audition time. Choir placement is for the entire school year. If a student comes to Sam Houston or wishes to join choir in the spring, please contact Allen Hightower for an audition time.
Dr. Hightower asks that you bring a prepared song, aria, or favorite hymn to the audition. (Therefore we have posted no vocal music in the links above.) An accompanist will be provided. Additionally, you will be asked to sight-read as well as sing various vocal exercises that demonstrate beauty of tone, intonation, and flexibility.
For more information email Dr. Allen Hightower at choirs@shsu.edu.
