Audition Material
Audition Notes
Guide tracks are there to help learn the notes and rhythms of the excerpt. You shouldn’t aim to replicate these tracks and you should endeavour to listen to a variety of cast recordings and even take the songs to your singing teacher to help you fully prepare for the audition.
The piano accompaniment tracks are there to allow you to practice with the accompaniment you will receive in the audition on the day. Please note that all auditions will be accompanied by a live pianist and there will not be an option to use the backing track in the audition.
