From the minute a professional audition is announced, there must be a plan, for musical and non-musical tasks that have to occur. This lecture provides the groundwork to take the stress out of these situations, which hopefully equate to a successful audition.
Topics that are included:
– planning
– scheduling
– expectations of the committee/panel
– practice methods that allow for a changing focus to avoid boredom
– a method to mentally switch aesthetics between excerpts
The bulk of the lecture is spent breaking down the “audition” into smaller and more manageable steps.
