2020-2021 Junior CDMMEA Jazz Audition Music
updated 11.30.21
REVISED CD Virtual............Jazz Audition Process:
During the 2022 auditions students will be required to play the solo and appropriate scales/rudiments.
No sight-reading, improvisation or range test
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 (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.
