2022-2023 Junior CDMMEA Jazz Audition Music
updated 08.31.2022
REVISED CD............Jazz Audition Process:
Occasionally there seems to be some confusion on how the jazz auditions works.
Hopefully the following information will help.
1. Students will play the written swing scale at the top of the page of the solo and
one of the major scales, as posted for their specific instrument. (see info in jazz pdf).
3. All auditions will be performed with the appropriate accompaniment (see below).
Drummers are now required to trade 4's as posted on the CDMMEA Jr. Jazz Drum Audition Sheet (see audition sheets).
FYI......Please note; as stated in the newly revised CDMMEA Handbook, student musicians that double audition and qualify for jazz band will automatically be placed into the jazz band regardless of their other audition.
* Winds will play the solo as written. Use the "Rhythm Section" accompaniment.
* Bass & Drums will use the "Piano & Guitar" accompaniment.
* Piano & Guitar will use the "Bass & Drum" accompaniment.

Jazz Performance information:
Students will play the written scale to start their audition.
Winds - Play measures 1 through meas. 24 as written. On the d.s., students may choose to improvise, repeat the melody as written, or perhaps add embellishments to the existing melody as they see fit. This leads to the ʻto codaʼ after meas. 16. Students could continue to improvise through the coda, or play as written until the fermata in meas. 29.
Rhythm section - Play the written parts throughout. When repeating on the d.s. until the coda, piano, guitar, and bass have the choice to improvise, or comp on the changes. All auditions will be performed with an accompaniment CD when in the audition room.
