Step #4: Audition

All new and returning students are required to audition.

Auditioning students should prepare two contrasting works which best show their current level of performance. You are not required to have an accompanist in your audition. The audition will last a maximum of 15 minutes and will include conversation with the jurors where you will be asked the following questions:

1. Why do you want to join the Academy?
2. What other extra-curricular activities do you pursue which may conflict with the Academy?
3. Commitment Rating: On a scale of 1 (not much) – 10 (top priority in your life) please give a rating number to how committed you will be to doing Chamber Music in the Academy. Senior Instrumentalists are expected to rehearse with their group once per week on a day other than Monday.
