Summer Regional Governor's School Audition Information

2010 Summer Regional Governor’s School auditions will be held Saturday, March 20th and Sunday, March 21st, 2010 at the Shenandoah Conservatory Arts Academy in Winchester, Virginia.

Vocal Musicians must present a piece of prepared music between 2 and 2 ½ minutes in length. You must arrange for your own accompanist in advance to play for the day of your audition or have pre-recorded music. Your accompanist will be allowed to warm up with you 10 minutes prior to your audition. If you cannot arrange for an accompanist, a CD/tape player or IPOD docking station will be provided. This will enable you to pre-record your musical selection for the audition. There will not be anyone on site to accompany you. Another important part of the audition will be sight reading and interview questions.

Guitar Musicians must present a classical piece of prepared music between 2 and 2 ½ minutes in length. You will also be asked to sight read and perform scales and you will also be asked several interview questions. *You must audition with a classical guitar.
