WCSMA Elementary Solo Audition List

  Elementary Solo Audition List 06-07

Attached is the solo audition list for the 2006-2007 school year. Please review it carefully. All solos are from the NYSSMA manual edition XXVII, EFFECTIVE JULY 2003, not the new manual. As of this date, all of the solos are in print.

It has come to the attention of the WCSMA Executive Board that some of the levels for certain instruments may be difficult for elementary students to prepare. In an effort to provide more students the ability to participate in the audition process we are piloting the following instrument level changes for the upcomin g 2006-2007 school year.
From level 3 to level 2:
     B-flat and Alto Clarinet
     Oboe
     French Horn
     Trombone
     Baritone Horn (This solo is listed as NYSSMA level 1 Trombone)
     Snare Drum

Please Note: solos selected for the WCSMA ELEMENTARY ALL COUNTY AUDITIONS may not include all required movements for the NYSSMA solo adjudication festival.

Teachers are responsible to check the solo requirements for their students who will be attending the NYSSMA solo evaluation festival in the spring. Do not assume that the WCSMA audition piece will be acceptable as is.

Students who audition will also be required to prepare 5 Major scales and a one-octave chromatic scale. At the audition, the student will perform three of the Major scales plus the chromatic scale, ascending and descending, one octave apiece. There is also a sight reading component to the audition.

Please remember that photocopies of solos are not allowed at any WCSMA or NYSSMA auditions. It is recommended that the student bring two original copies of the music and give one to the adjudicator to use. A piano score with solo part on it is acceptable for the second copy.
