Vocal Audition..What is a "Vocal Score"?

[dailey31]

Hi,
I am clueless when it comes to anything regarding music so excuse me if this sounds silly! At any rate, my daughter will be auditioning in a week but they want her to bring a “piano and vocal score sheet” so the judges can used it while she sings. I don’t want to ask them what that means for fear they think I am a fool. lol! Thanks!

Thanks! So does this mean that vocal and piano score sheet is the same thing? So in other words, I should just bring 2 of the same copies?

My understanding is that they’re asking for a single score sheet, which would normally be in three lines, the vocal score on top and the piano accompaniment (treble and bass clefs) underneath, like this:

They want the sheet music, in case it’s a piece they don’t know and so that their accompanist can play for her.

Bring the sheet music.
If you don’t have it you can find most everything on MusicNotes.com

Not really. All sheet music is called a score.
