| Re: Music for College Audition If the school doesn't list the requirments, don't be afraid to contact the trumpet professor. Most will have an email listed on the website. If the school is nearby, it's always great if you can get a lesson with that teacher some time (as in months, if possible) before the actual audition. This will not only show your dedication to the trumpet and to doing a good job in the audition, but you give yourself a chance to come back for the audition (or another lesson) having followed the teachers advice! Note that poor practicing between that lesson and the audition would cause this to backfire...
For most schools, recruiting is a challenge for the teacher (it's hard to find good students and it takes a lot of time), and most teachers (in my experience) like the chance to work with a future student because they get to know you a little personally and they can begin to see what they'll be getting (as a person and player) should you go to school there. Assuming you make that a positive experience for your future teacher, that can help you later if you happen to be on the bubble of either acceptence or scholarships.
