State University Audition Piece
on: January 31, 2005, 06:10:45 AM
Hi all , i'm new here and  I wanted a couple of advice. I would like to audition for a State university  music program , not as a performer though. However i have no idea on how tough they are...I was told to play a couple of pieces and i would be judged only upon that..
if i were to play Reverie by Debussy and maybe Jagerlied op.19b-3 by Mendelssohn. Would i even have a chance? are these pieces good enough? i've been playing for 2 years and been taking lessons for a year and half now... Any advices is welcome thank you very much!

I recommend that you talk directly with the music department. Ask a lot of questions. See if they have a 'cap' on the number of students per instrument that will be enrolled. It is better to ask these things now than to wait until you get there for the audition. Good luck.

When Practice Stagnates – Breaking the Performance Ceiling: Robotic Training for Pianists

“Practice makes perfect” is a common mantra for any pianist, but we all know it’s an oversimplification. While practice often leads to improvement, true perfection is elusive.
