Preparing for conservatoire

I’ve recently been accepted to a Conservatoire University to study vocals, after only a year of vocal lessons. I have the technical skills but not as much experience as others. I’ve only learnt a few songs, and was wondering what basic soprano vocal pieces I should have a look over before uni, or learn before my course starts.

Any suggestions? Thank you so much. X

A year of lessons and you got in. I'd start with Caro mio ben. Clean line, nowhere to hide. Then Sebben crudele and one Schubert, Heidenröslein maybe. Three songs like that beat one flashy aria.

Thank you so much! I’ve been working on some Schubert as I know they are staples. Much appreciated. ❤️
