If you are a string player in grades 5 or younger, or a current member of MYSO’s advanced progressions, Prelude Orchestra, or String Orchestra…
you will play an in-person audition during the period of April 14-16, 2023.
What to Prepare
- Scales: perform two scales of your choice. Present each in any format you wish, and play both as many octaves (up and down) as you are comfortable.
- Solo: present a prepared solo or etude, no more than 3-4 minutes in length, preferably with contrasting tempos and/or styles (no piano accompaniment). Two short contrasting movements are acceptable.
- Sightreading: your audition judge will give you a short piece of music to play–music you will be seeing for the first time.
