This subject deepens students’ knowledge and understanding of professional orchestral auditions. Through weekly performance classes students practise performing a larger suite of orchestral excerpts than in semester 1, as well as solo repertoire required at auditions. Knowledge, understanding, and insight into audition procedures and how complex artistic decisions are made will be gained through serving on audition panels.
Intended learning outcomes
Upon completion, students should be able to:
- identify and classify an extended list of repertoire commonly requested at professional orchestral auditions;
- identify and discuss common approaches to the evaluation of musicians in audition scenarios;
- learn audition repertoire thoroughly and efficiently, for performance or recording;
- apply critical listening skills to enhance preparation and performance of audition repertoire;
- interpret musical works in ways that could suit a variety of elite performance situations;
- apply the mental and emotional skills necessary for consistent skill execution and positive performance experiences.
