| Audition
Mr. Laureano,
I am going to have an audition for an orchestra coming up (at my Northwestern Institute) and I was wondering, do you have any advice? I've never had an orchestra audition before, and am not quite sure what to expect. They told me that I should have one solo excerpt prepared (for which I have the Hummel, which I played this year for solo and ensemble), the normal scale requirements, and also an excerpt (which, I believe and hope, they are sending me). Sight reading is a possibility they say.
Aside from the playing aspect of it, do you have any additional advice? I can get pretty high-strung at competitions and such, and anything you, or anyone else, could tell me to maybe put me at ease with the process would be a great help!
Thanks,
Jeff
