Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts u u u Admissions Process Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts u Admission is based on a competitive audition and review of a student’s record to ensure success in both the demanding studio work and the challenging academic programs. u Successful candidates will exhibit an intermediate to advanced level of proficiency in all art forms. Students are evaluated based on preparation for the audition and level of commitment to their art form, technical proficiency, and artistic expression. Most students receiving an offer for one or more of the studios at LaGuardia High School will score a 3-5 out of a possible 5 points on the studio rubric. u All applicants must submit a copy of their previous academic year’s report card and/or transcript at the time of the audition. Students are evaluated solely on the official marks awarded during the previous academic school year. No reevaluation will be done based on any subsequent improved academic performance. u u u Audition Information Only students who are residents of New York City are eligible to apply and audition. Students may audition for the following studios: Dance n Drama n FINE Art n Instrumental Music n Technical Theatre n Vocal Music Students should bring a copy of their June 2011 report card for each audition. Students may also wish to bring a light snack. Individual auditions may be delayed and students may be kept for a full day. It is the responsibility of candidates to be aware of all audition procedures as described in this handbook and in the Directory of the New York City Public High Schools. Dance students will participate in two classes, one ballet and one modern, in which an evaluation is made as to the student’s potential to succeed in the specific training offered. All candidates are expected to bring dance clothes for the audition, including footless tights and a leotard. Drama students should be prepared to perform two contrasting one-minute monologues. The applicant will be asked to do an impromptu reading and participate in an interview. Attire should allow free movement since applicants may be asked to demonstrate how well they move physically. Fine Art students will need a portfolio of 10-20 pieces of original artwork done in a variety of media. The artwork should be from observation, imagination, and memory, and labeled appropriately. Photographs—not originals—of threedimensional works may be included. For their audition, students will be given three drawing assignments, including drawing the human figure from observation, drawing a still life from memory, and creating a drawing in color, based on imagination. All drawing materials for the audition will be supplied by the school at the time of the audition. Instrumental Music students should come to their audition with their instruments, except for those students who will audition on piano, percussion, tuba, double bass, and harp. These instruments will be provided by the school at the audition. In addition, amplifiers will be provided by the school at the audition for electric guitarists. Students are expected to perform prepared selections without accompaniment. Applicants will be tested for rhythm and tonal memory and will be asked to complete a sight-reading of a given selection. Technical Theatre students should prepare a typed 350- word essay that describes their experience in any aspect of technical theatre, for example, lights, scenery design, sound design, or special effects. Applicants will be asked to participate in a small-group, hands-on practical in one or more aspects of technical theatre, as well as in an interview. Vocal Music students should prepare a song to sing without accompaniment for their audition from a song list provided at www.laguardiahs.org. The musical selection can be classical or popular in style. Students will be asked to sing back melodic patterns and tap back rhythmic patterns. 10
