How to Audition for the Studio
Trial Lessons
Trial lessons are provided at no cost to students who have already applied for admission to LSU in the Fall. If you have not yet applied, you should sign up for a regular lesson on the website. At the trial lesson, please prepare several artsongs/arias with PDF's that can be airdropped or have been emailed ahead of the lesson (classical only). Standard repertory pieces are advisable so the focus can be on evaluating your voice (not on sight-reading piano scores).

GRADS: Submit your audition video (for grads) by the November deadline, or as soon as possible thereafter. In advance of your audition, contact us for a trial lesson (usually on Friday, or at the end of the day on Saturday). If the audition dates do not work for your schedule, it is sometimes possible to audition mid-day on Tuesdays. For full consideration of financial assistance it is advantageous to audition not later than mid-February.
UNDERGRADS: Undergraduates who wish to be considered for admission to this studio should submit video links directly to graysongrovesstudio@gmail.com
GRADS: Bring two contrasting opera arias and two art songs. Slower moving, more sustained repertoire tells us more about your talent. Provide a copy of your repertoire from your Bachelor's degree, and a copy of your performance resume.
