AUDITION INTENSIVE
A Six-Week Audition Prep Course
Do auditions intimidate you?
Do you wonder what the judges are looking for?
With this six-week course, I’ll show you how to breeze through auditions with ease!
NYSSMA and All-State, Youth Orchestra, and Collegiate Auditions will all be covered.
THE GAME PLAN
This course is broken up into six one-hour private lessons.
Week One:
Diagnostics
Let’s establish a baseline. The lesson will start with a mock audition, and we’ll begin work on the required fundamentals.
Week Two:
NYSSMA and All-State
We’ll talk about choosing appropriate solos based on your strengths, how to work with a pianist, and making those pesky scales sing!
Week Three:
College Auditions
How are these different than our All-State Auditions? What can we recycle from All-State for our college audition?
Week Four:
Ensemble Auditions
Playing orchestral excerpts can be quite different from playing our solos, especially if we’re behind a screen and blind to our audition panel! We’ll discuss how to deal with these unique challenges.
Week Five:
Mental Preparation
Auditions are a test of mental strength and focus just as much as they are about playing. I’ll give you plenty of strategies for getting rid of those day-of jitters.
Week Six:
Final Audition
One final recorded audition will show how far you’ve come during these six weeks. You'll be well on your way to becoming a confident flutist and musician!
