2017-2018 Junior CDMMEA Jazz Audition Music
Jazz Audition Process:
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 (from memory), as posted for their specific instrument. (see info in jazz pdf).
2. Students will also play the Chromatic Scale, from memory, as listed on the appropriate scale sheet.
No Chromatic for the rhythm section.
3. All auditions will be performed with the appropriate accompaniment when in the audition room (see below).
4. Improvisation is not scored, but it may influence seat placement.
5. There is a range "test" for brass (see audition form). It is not scored but may influence seat placement.
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.
