Sight-reading Practice for Final Exam
Go to your assignments tab on your Sight Reading Factory app and choose either Level One Practice with Numbers or Level One Practice with Solfege. Practice an unlimited number of times, then advance to Level two, then level three. I will allow you to use either provided numbers or solfege with your sight-reading examples for the exam and the audition. Spend 10-20 minutes each night on this and you will speed your way through the sight-reading portion of the exam (not to mention the audition)! All seniors will take the sight-reading portion of the exam on May 13 and all underclassmen will take it on the 17th. Don't forget to go the to AUDITION tab to find the link for sign-ups.

3. Turn the volume down to -12 or lower.

5. Make sure the track is selected and hit Command-D to duplicate as many tracks as you need.
6. Give each track a name or number.
7. Record several takes and then audition each section to determine the most accurate recording. Re-record any portion that is not acceptable in terms of notes, rhythm, diction, intonation, phrasing and style.

9. To split a clip, highlight the clip and hit Command-T. Highlight the clip you want to discard and hit delete.
