I got this email this week from SFCM...
I hope I'm not boring you by sharing my mail, but I thought maybe it might be interesting to some people who may never have seen an audition invitation from a conservatory... And it's memorabilia for the scrapbook, right?
I'm so excited!!!
Here it is:
Dear Jackie,
We are pleased to inform you that your voice audition for the San Francisco Conservatory of Music has been scheduled for Sunday, February 19th, at SFCM. Please read this entire message carefully and print this e-mail for your records.
1. To confirm that you will be attending, please reply to this email and add the word ‘Confirm’ to the subject line.
2. All applicants must check-in at the front desk at 3:00 pm and attend an orientation meeting at 3:15 pm. The meeting will provide you with information about our admission process and give you the opportunity to learn more about our school. Tours of the building will take place immediately following the orientation meeting.
3. Your audition time is 7:40 pm. In case we are running behind or ahead of schedule, please be ready to sing 15 minutes before your scheduled time and be prepared to stay later if necessary. The audition itself should last no longer than ten minutes. We do not administer any tests in theory, musicianship, etc. As soon as your audition is over, you're done!
4. We will provide a warm-up room with a piano for the 30 minutes before your audition.
5. If you signed up for a piano accompanist through the application, we will provide one for the audition itself. You will have a few minutes immediately before you enter the audition to discuss your music with your accompanist. We are unable to accommodate requests for advance practice time with your accompanist, but please rest assured that s/he is a member of our professional accompanying staff here at the school and will be very familiar with your repertoire.
6. Please bring music for your accompanist to the audition. Please also bring a short passage or poem to read after you have finished singing. You do NOT need to bring, or to send in advance, any additional copies.
7. Our building is located at 50 Oak Street between Van Ness and Franklin streets in downtown San Francisco's Civic Center. Information about visiting, including hotels, transportation and parking in the area, can be found on our website at www.sfcm.edu/prospective/visiting.aspx.
8. Coming to San Francisco for your audition will allow you to get to know our school and city. We encourage you to take advantage of your time here by attending classes, rehearsals and performances. Our performance calendar is available online at www.sfcm.edu/calendar/calendar.aspx. We would be happy to reserve a complimentary seat for you at any ticketed event if you contact us at least two weeks in advance.
You are also welcome to contact our faculty directly to try to schedule a consultative lesson. We recommend contacting them at least two weeks in advance of your audition. Faculty email addresses are available on their individual biography pages at www.sfcm.edu/prospective/faculty.aspx.
9. If you do not intend to audition for admission, or if this audition information is somehow in error, please contact us immediately.
We look forward to meeting you and presenting your application to the Admission Committee. Please contact us at admit@sfcm.edu or 800-899-SFCM with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Tessa Borelli
