Audition Requirement

Audition Requirements

NO AUDITION REQUIRED for Accepted or Returning Students:

If you received a welcome/acceptance email for the 2024/2025 season, your child will NOT need to audition again. Please proceed to make your tuition selections.

Returning Students:

If your student participated in the Spring 2024 season, they do NOT need to re-audition. Simply submit the online Student Registration form, and we’ll look forward to seeing them at the first Fall 2024 rehearsals! To best understand and nurture their talents, we will be conducting PLACEMENT auditions during the first or second meeting of our program. This approach allows us to get to know your child personally and gain insight into their playing abilities.

** New Students

Please schedule an audition below.

If your student wishes to prepare, the requirements are as follows:

1. Solo: Each student should have one solo music piece of his or her own choosing (2-3 mins) prepared. Choose repertoire, with the help of your private music teacher, which is appropriate to your level of expertise. Please bring a copy of the music to your audition for the director.

2. Scales: Students should be prepared to play Either;

a. One or Two (2) octave major scales of student's choice. Quarter Note = 100

or
