“The Conservatory Audition Workshop is brilliantly designed and marvelously executed. The curriculum leads talented students in an exploration of their own learning and performing process, as well as introducing them to the mindset and artistic values of the teachers that will be evaluating their auditions. I'm delighted to be part of such an excellent and worthwhile project.”

PARTICIPANTS:
The Conservatory Audition Workshop is designed for violin, viola, and cello students who are planning to pursue an undergraduate performance degree at a conservatory or music school.
Participants must be between the ages of 14 -18 years old. Students who wish to attend who fall outside of this age range will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
All participants are asked to arrive at the Workshop with their repertoire fully-prepared. If you do not have your final audition repertoire chosen, we ask that you prepare repertoire that still simulates a true audition experience (solo Bach, a movement or more of a concerto, a virtuosic piece or etude, etc.) An appropriate list should include 3-4 works.
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:
Application fee: $50
Two contrasting solo pieces
Letter of recommendation from private teacher
