Evaluations
Make sure to sign up for evaluations via the links sent through
email!
Please bring the following to your evaluation:
- Your evaluation form completely filled out
(you will receive this via email)
- A pencil
- Ensemble A only: your
completed musicianship workbook for final review with ALL mistakes corrected - please see the marking
page at the beginning for a list of questions that need to be corrected. (If
your musicianship book has not been handed back to you yet, it will be brought
to your evaluation for you – don’t worry.)
Please prepare for your evaluation:
- All of your repertoire: have it so well
memorized that you can sing it alone! This includes text, dynamics, phrasing
and breathing, cut-offs, etc.
- Three minor scales: natural, harmonic, melodic. (See links at the bottom for extra
help.)
- Key signatures: Vocalise and Ensemble B should recognize all key signatures,
Ensemble A should know up to four sharps or flats.
- Solfege: know how to label a
melody with solfege for the purposes of sight-singing. You should also know how
to write in the counts for any time signature where the quarter or the eighth note
gets the beat.
Monteverdi Vespers
Please review the schedule above for rehearsal and concert
dates, times, and locations. Make sure to bring your own water and
snack to every call. Families will be
contacted by Amelia Turvey from the Cantabile office to sign up for chaperoning
duties. For ticket info, please
go to the Stanford ticket office. Singers, click HERE to listen to a performance. (Note: #11 is at 53:50, #12 children begin singing at 1:04:00 (m. 65), #13 children sing from 1:23:50 to the end.)
Minor Scales
Minor scales (natural, harmonic, and melodic) WILL be
on your evaluation! Please make sure you know how to sing them accurately by
practicing them at home both with a piano (or guitar) and a cappella. Check out
these short videos to help you:
You can also check out the channel of “musictheoryguy” on
youtube for lots of online theory lessons! Here are his lessons on minor
scales:
