节奏 is Grossmont大学’s Vocal Jazz ensemble that focuses on learning ensemble repertoire and performance skills. Consisting of 7-12 auditioned singers and a 3-4 piece band, the ensemble performs standard and contemporary jazz repertoire. Basic musical concepts of improvisation, solo, and larger ensemble performance are incorporated into this course offering. As part of the performing and rehearsal environment, Cadence regularly works with its own jazz instrumental combo, providing ensemble, combo, and soloist opportunities for ensemble members. Public performance required. Performing 2-3 times a semester, past venues include the Oceanside Jazz Festival, Jazz Lounge, and Dizzy’s Jazz Club.
试镜的需求
- 歌手：新成员/非现任成员
•8月19日周二5:00-6:50pm（221室）（报名Genius Link或邮件报名）
o Vocal selection - Prepare a solo piece to sing (preferably jazz, but it can be anything non-classical). Your audition will be accompanied by piano or backing track. Sheet music, lead sheets, or chord charts ok. Acappella singing not permitted.
o Sightsinging - This is an important part of the audition. Because we learn so much repertoire it is vital that the prospective Cadence member be a good reader. Even if a student has the best voice on the planet, if they can’t read music, they will not pass the audition.
o Aural comprehension - You will be asked to sing a short melodic phrase played on the piano. This 所有ows the director to evaluate the student’s ear.
