Our experience hosting a Federation Festival every spring at Metro Music Makers led our team to the vision of creating our own assessment opportunity just for voice students. We created this assessment to allow parents to have a way to measure their child’s improvement in voice—not to mention, students who participate can learn responsibility, creativity, and follow-through. Plus, it allows students to get another teacher’s perspective, and it’s a great addition to college applications!
The Metro Music Makers Vocal Comps and Evaluation Program will assess a student’s musical abilities across a range of skills, including Musical Knowledge (Pitch Accuracy, Rhythm Accuracy), Vocal Technique (Tone, Diction), Musicianship (Tempo/Style, Phrasing, Dynamics), and Other Skills (Stage Presence/Posture, Artistry/Interpretation, Choice of Music). In this virtual event, students will showcase their skill level to a panel of professional musicians by performing two required pieces, scales/chords in corresponding keys, and other requirements based on their level. Auditions are submitted via pre-recorded video. All performers will receive a digital certificate of participation along with the completed evaluation form.
Registration for Spring 2025 Vocal Comps will close on May 25, 2025.
