Pick the spot which shows off your fundamental skills the best. - 4-5 scales of the MD's choosing (to be chosen from all major, harmonic minor, natural minor, melodic minor, chromatic). You can perform them at your own pace, articulation, bowing, etc. provided it remains steady in tempo.

href="mailto:akboyles@mit.edu">akboyles@mit.edu</a>)</p> <div> <p>The MIT Symphony Orchestra holds auditions in both fall and spring. MIT and Wellesley students may take MITSO for 6 units of credit, but one need not take MITSO for credit to fully participate. All local students, MIT community members, and non-MIT community members are welcome to audition. </p> <p>New member Fall auditions will be in-person in Dr. Boyles’ office (W18-3312) on the following days and times:</p> <p>Tuesday September 3, 3-10pm</p> <p>Thursday September 5, 5:30-10pm (may also consist of callbacks, if needed)</p> <p> </p> <p>FOR NEW MEMBERS, the audition consists of the following:<br /> - A solo of your choosing (concerto, etude, etc.) to be no longer than 1 minute (yes, only 1 minute). Pick the spot which shows off your <u>fundamental skills </u>the best.<br /> - 4-5 scales of the MD's choosing (to be chosen from all major, harmonic minor, natural minor, melodic minor, chromatic). You can perform them at your own pace, articulation, bowing, etc. provided it remains steady in tempo. Do not schedule an audition if you don’t know your scales - I take these very seriously.<br /> - Short sight reading(s), mostly focusing on rhythm.<br /> <br /> The whole audition is approximately 10 minutes. </p> <p> </p> <p>FOR RETURNING MEMBERS, the audition consists of the following:</p> <p>- The entirety of the audition is to be a video submission done in one take. Please state your name at the beginning.</p> <p>- Perform a brief solo of your choice, no longer than 1 minute, then play the entirety of Variation 11 and the Finale from Elgar’s Variations on an Original Theme, ‘Enigma’ <a href="https://imslp.org/wiki/Variations_on_an_Original_Theme_'Enigma'%2C_Op.36_(Elgar%2C_Edward">(parts can be found here)</a>. If there are multiple choices, play the 1st part. Account for bars of rest when there are only a few, but skip long ones. I will assume your research will lead you to generally-accepted tempi.</p> <p>- Please post video privately online no later than Monday September 2, 11:59pm.

One song must be "Smile" by Chaplin/Parsons/Turner to be sung a cappella. Many people have recorded this song, but Nat King Cole's version is easy to find online if you're learning by ear. The second song can be from any genre and should showcase your voice. It is fine to use accompaniment for the second song.</p> <p>**Returning students must re-audition with one jazz standard of their choice. They do not need to sing "Smile". </p> <p>Auditions will be held on Tuesday, September 3<sup>rd</sup> between 2-8pm in room W18-4309.</p> <p><a href="https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17899302&appointmentType=10535956" target="_blank"><strong>Register to Audition for MIT Vocal Jazz Ensemble</strong></a></p> <p> </p> <h3><a href="https://mta.mit.edu/music/performance/mit-laptop-ensemble" id="laptop-ensemble" name="laptop-ensemble"><strong>MIT LAPTOP ENSEMBLE</strong></a></h3> <p>Ian Hattwick, Director (<a href="mailto:hattwick@mit.edu">hattwick@mit.edu</a>)</p> <p>Admission to the ensemble is by approval of the director following the first day of class, no audition required.
