At the audition I will have you each play through the exercises outlined below (One at a time wait in the hall until you are called in). During this portion of the audition I will be listening for technical accuracy (intonation, rhythmic, etc.) and musicality. Following this, we will play through the excerpts as an ensemble. During this portion of the audition I will be listening for your ability to successfully play as part of a section.
