College audition
on: July 26, 2014, 05:21:06 AM
Hello everyone,
I play piano for about 7 years, but only 5 years with training. So I was wondering with my repertoir, what are some good music schools I may be able to get accpeted.

1. Bach Prelude and Fugue in C minor.
2. Haydn Sonata in B minor 
3. Chopin's etude op. 25 no. 1 (Aeolian harp)
4. Romanian Dance, Bartok.
Thanks you so much!

We have no idea.  It depends on how well you play it.
Live large, die large.  Leave a giant coffin.

i hate to say it, but because your music isn't "technically demanding enough," you won't get accepted to top tier schools.  Not saying you're not able to play them well, it's just your most technically challenging piece is the etude and that's a very easy one in comparison to the others.  Don't get discouraged, however, the progress you make in college will be great, and you will be able to apply to a very good graduate program if you work very hard at it!
