In the google drive, you'll find the following:

Folder 1: Audition Informational Handout
Contains a one page PDF of audition information

 

Folder 2: Audition Etudes
Contains your instrument specific etudes. Lyrical and technical. Play both to the best of your ability. Lyrical should show your musicality, connection, dynamic control, and beautiful tone. Technical should show everything the lyrical etudes shows, plus your rhythm reading, and articulation. No met during performance.

 

Folder 3: Audition Etude Recordings
This will give you a reference recording of your etude. These are in .aiff format. If you need to convert the file to something different use https://cloudconvert.com/aiff-converter

 

Folder 4: Audition Scales
Contains the full range scales that we've been doing in band class. You will have two minutes to play as many scales, as many octaves as you can. 10 points per octave with a met at a tempo of your choice.

 

Folder 5: Audition Chromatic Scale Information
