ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible to audition, students must:
- be taking weekly private lessons on their instrument. If you do not currently have a teacher, please let us know and we’ll connect you with an instructor.
- be enrolled in the corresponding ensemble at their school, if such an ensemble exists. Once registration is complete, we will be contacting all school directors to confirm your participation.
The outcome of a student’s audition is based on the quality of their rhythm, tempo choice, intonation, pitch accuracy, tone, expressive elements, technique, and scale fluency.
Factors that determine a student’s placement include:
- the student’s audition performance
- the student’s grade/age
- the balance and instrumentation within our ensembles
- student maturity and leadership in current ensemble
