In this subject, students build on the skills acquired in Orchestra Audition Preparation 2 to deepen and further refine their approach to auditioning for professional orchestral positions.
Students apply knowledge gained in previous subjects to their own preparation and performance at auditions, and regularly practise and perform audition repertoire under the guidance of leading industry professionals.
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.
International audition processes are considered in the development of extended excerpt lists. Students critically reflect on the purpose of musical excerpts and concerti on audition lists to enhance their own performance.
