What scale or excerpt should you choose to audition with? What should you do if all the excerpts are either too difficult and others too easy? When you have limited time to prepare the material, where should you put your focus for the most pay off? What do they mean by "contrasting" pieces?
If you've wondered about these questions, or if you're a teacher wondering how to best help your students, or even if you're an adult student, dreaming of playing in a group someday, but not sure how to prepare for that or to know when you're ready, this episode is for you! Host Laurel Thomsen answers these questions and more, with ideas for how to approach all elements of an audition, from scales and excerpts, to sight reading and solo pieces, giving you a launch point to get to work and hopefully win the placement of your dreams!
