Who would like to school me on the repertoire list? Please.

It should be pretty simple. I would group based on type of song
.like Ballad vs Blues etc and list the song. I think some schools want to know if you’ve done solos and stuff so definitely make sure you know what each school is looking for. Many literally just want a list of songs they’ve played.

Curious: what songs did your musicians choose to audition with if they had a “and anything contrasting” requirement on top of the selections that were defined by style or title? i.e USC said to sing this song, then this or that song, as well as this or that song, and then a song of your choice that contrasts, such as Latin, etc.

My vocalist used Agua de Beber, and Mr. Eclectic by Laufey.

I can’t remember ALL of his songs (14 schools and not all of them had songs we could reuse), but some I remember are:

Polka Dots and Moonbeams

Corcovado

Prelude to a Kiss

Sonnymoon For Two

Someday My Prince Will Come

These are fun songs!

Thankfully, she was able to overlap a few songs, but it’s only across 4 schools. The wildcard songs were fun for her to choose from songs she knows and loves, outside of the prescribed songs.

I would love to hear from other jazz bassists (upright). Awaiting auditions at DePaul, Loyno, and New School. Also waiting for Temple decision. Wondering what others are thinking/feeling at this point!

Oh, Temple. Why are you taking so long?

Have you guys heard? My son was moved to RD. The email said for academic reasons, but may just be the only kind of deferral template they have. His app still hasn’t had “an initial review” per his portal. Sighhhh.

52

Oh, wow! That seems so odd. Haven’t heard anything
:confused:

53

Weird! My son got an email at 6p EST. No updates anywhere else.

Hey Friends! Temple EA was supposed to come out by January 10 and as I shared, we heard nothing. So I had my daughter email Boyer’s admissions this morning to check her status. They emailed back and said she has been admitted and the Temple portal will be updated!
