Advisory Auditions: Do you love to sing? Are you dreaming of becoming a professional musician? If so, specialist music education could be for you. Sign up for a short Advisory Audition for Scotland’s only full-time vocal programmes for pupils aged 13-18. One song will be performed to a small and friendly panel after which feedback will be given. If the panel think you would be suited to the programmes on offer at St Mary's Music School, you will be invited for a formal audition. Please note, this is a classical singing programme therefore pop/rock, jazz and musical theatre repertoire will not be accepted.
