Teachers are requested to audition their own students for the AMIS Middle School Choir Festivals. This should be a formal audition procedure designed to show that the singer can hold his own part and can learn fairly quickly.
Many teachers use procedures such as having the student sing a round with the teacher singing a different part. Another procedure frequently used is to have a student hear a melody and sing it back to the teacher to test tonal memory. Another test might be to play two or more parts including the student's part, while the student sings his own part. There are many acceptable variations on the testing procedure which should be designed to make sure that the most qualified students participate in the festival. it is especially important that students have a good pitch sense and are capable of holding a part. Unqualified students can spoil the festival experience for the rest of the participants.
Students are responsible for the complete learning of all repertoire and should not be recommended unless they are able to meet the demands of performing challenging literature with other outstanding students. They must be capable of concentrating during long rehearsals each day. Students must be well prepared so as to insure a positive experience. It is the responsibility of each teacher to be sure the students are fully prepared. - posted 21 July, 2008
