·Students will be assessed on the degree to which they possess a working knowledge of their instrument, which scales they can play when asked, technical facility, and intonation. Please choose two scales each major and harmonic minor.

·Notes:

Guitarists/bassists are strongly encouraged to use different positions (fingerings).

Percussionists will be asked to play their scales on the marimba or other pitched mallet instrument. If you don’t have access to one, you may use a piano or other keyboard.

·At least one piece must have sheet music; a copy of which should be submitted as a pdf with the audition materials. One of the pieces may be an original composition, however, this is optional.

·Students will be assessed on accuracy, technical facility, musicality and expressiveness.

·Notes:

As part of their prepared audition, percussionists are also encouraged to play a snare drum solo of at least intermediate difficulty (i.e., Intermediate Snare Drum by M. Peters).

(3)PITCH MATCHING

Please play 5 random pitches on any instrument and sing the pitches. These may be given from different sources, i.e., piano, mallet instrument, wind or string instrument.

(4)RESPOND TO A FEW SHORT INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

The department would like to know more about the mind-set and motivations of the students auditioning. Please answer the following questions in your video:
