Students will be required to prepare the audition material on both instruments. When registering just put down both instruments and other information required on the registration form.
Audition Material:
Students will be asked to prepare 2 contrasting solos/etudes of their choice (1 slow and musical / 1 faster and technical). Portions of a piece, movements, or etudes are fine. Both selections should be approPximately 1 minute in length. Students will also be asked to do some sight-reading.
