Xi'an Conservatory of Music adopts a school examination for vocal music admissions. The admissions brochure is published online around December every year. From January to March of the following year, you go to the test center designated in the brochure to take the vocal music examination (including sight-singing, ear training and music theory, bel canto , ethnic singing and popular singing), take the unified college entrance examination for cultural courses in your province in June. After the cultural courses and sight-singing and ear training exceed the score line set by Xi'an Conservatory of Music, you will be judged according to the vocal music school examination results. The top n will be admitted in order based on the ranking of your test center. The score line is different every year and each singing method. The key is the overall ranking.
You need to prepare 4 songs for the vocal test (for example, Bel Canto requires two middle and two foreign students). The examiner will sing 1 or 2 of the 2 songs for the first test, and the other 2 songs for the retest. The school will provide a piano accompaniment on site, but candidates are required to provide staff music. Those who enter the re-examination will take the sight-singing, ear-training and music theory exams. Vocal candidates are not tested on musical instruments.
The test centers in 2010 were located in Zhengzhou, Hangzhou, Changsha, Lanzhou, Jinan, Beijing and Xi'an. The passing score was 70 points announced at approximately 1:2.5, but the actual admission score in Shaanxi Province was 78 points Around 81 points outside the province. The score line for sight-singing, ear training and music theory is 50 points, and the cultural score is about 50% of the second line in the province where the candidate is located. My child took the Bel Canto exam alone and felt that the examiners at the school were fair and honest.
The Western Vocal Music Department has relatively high professional requirements. You only have half a year to start, so hurry up and find a teacher with
experience in university vocal music teaching to help you systematically. To sort out the singing methods and repertoire. You have a piano foundation, as long as you have vocal comprehension and proper vocal techniques, you can hopefully pass the exam...
