Audition Requirements

• Play a piece of repertoire, etude, or a concert solo you are currently studying. We prefer that you play one selection that is melodic / lyrical and one selection that is technical.
• Play a scale of your choice. Please play it in as many octaves as you are able to do so on your particular instrument and play it well.
• Percussion students:
  You will be asked to play rolls, flams, and demonstrate their knowledge of the snare drum.
  If a percussion student is primarily a mallet player then playing a scale on the orchestra bells or xylophone will be requested.   If timpani are available during the audition then you will be asked to play a roll on the timpani as well as articulated 16th note patterns.

All students are expected to audition at the beginning of each new Season.
