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.
