Remember: Just because the audition is via video and you can make as many videos as you want and choose your favorite one to submit - your video will NOT be perfect! 

1. Take the opportunity to record your audition on different days and plan for plenty of time before the due date.

2. Use the video that best represents you at the time of your audition.
Very often a student ends up submitting one of their first audition video takes, rather than their last one. 

3. Be musical, be confident, be prepared!

4. Read these TIPS for a Great Audition sheet to help prepare.

SCALES
Please present the scales in accordance with how you practice scales with your private teacher (i.e. repeating the top note or not, tempo, dynamics, etc.) Judges will be listening for rhythmic steadiness, intonation, and sound.

The following scale sheets are provided as a resource in preparing for your audition. If you and your teacher use other scale sheets or exercises, please use those. These are just here as examples to use if you do not have any other resources.
