what to prepare for your audition
1. Two scales |
You choose which ones, but tell us which they are at your audition.
|
2. A solo from your repertoire |
Pro Tip: choose a piece you've recently "passed" in private lessons! This way, you will feel comfortable playing it and is probably one of the pieces that shows off your hard work the best! |
Finally, be prepared to sightread. We will have sightreading excerpts available at the auditions and will provide a short passage for you to play at an appropriate level.
