Recorded Audition (Submit in CD, MP3, DVD, VHS, or cassette format)

String

4-5 minutes solo & 3-octave scale
Choose a solo that best represents your current playing level and musicianship.
Scale should be done twice: slow, with full bows for tone and vibrato, and fast, for left-hand facility and off-string stroke demonstration.

Piano

Pianists should include 4-5 minutes from two contrasting works or movements which demonstrate their performance level.

Woodwinds & Horn

Choose a solo that best represents your current playing level and musicianship
Choose an etude that is contrasting in character from your solo
Play your concert Bb, F, and chromatic scales in slurred eighth notes with the quarter note at 180 beats per minute throughout the full range of the horn.

Live Audition
By appointment, you may schedule a live audition in Minot. Contact erik.anderson@minotstateu.edu for arrangements.
