Auditions will be held at OpenTable United Church of Christ in Ottawa, Illinois at our first rehearsal on Monday, January 10th @ 4:30 p.m. Spring semester tuition fee is $100 and is due at the first rehearsal. New families must sign the 2021-22 Parent Application and Consent Form, which can be found here on our website under the "Members" tab above.

To request an audition spot, please click here and register! We strongly encourage students to prepare their audition at a manageable tempo and focus on artistry rather than speed. We would rather hear a strong performance under tempo than a messy one.

what to prepare for your audition

1. The appropriate excerpt:

2. A scale of your choice

Be prepared to play the scale with the same number of octaves that you play in lessons. Students auditioning in hopes of being section principal and those auditioning for first violin must attempt a 3-octave scale.

​

3. Finally, be prepared to sightread

You will be provided with a sightreading excerpt of the appropriate playing level at the audition!
