This is the final subject in a suite of 4 audition preparation subjects designed to prepare students for the high pressure world of professional auditions. In this subject students will apply the knowledge gained in past semesters to optimise performance of an extended and advanced list of audition repertoire. Students will engage critically with the experience of sitting on an audition panel and assessing other musicians, and apply insights gained through this to their own performance. This final semester will culminate in a live audition experience.
Intended learning outcomes
On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- classify and explain an extended list of major and minor works from which common audition excerpts have been extracted;
- apply knowledge gained from behind the screen to their own audition preparation and performance;
- demonstrate confidant performance at a professional standard under pressure in audition, recording and performance settings;
- discuss how orchestral excerpts illustrate a variety of musical and technical skills and apply this to their own preparation and performance;
- interpret and perform works in ways that could suit a variety of elite and professional performance situations;
- develop and implement mental and emotional strategies to achieve consistent skill execution and positive performance experiences.
