Audition Track
The Audition Track is designed for violists who are preparing for upcoming Summer Festival, College and post-collegiate auditions. Applicants in this program will benefit most if they arrive with their audition material in good condition - this will allow them to practice their skills at auditioning and leave the Viola Winter Intensive feeling confident about their upcoming college or summer festival auditions.
For those applying for programs with a tape round, this track of courses will provide you with professional recording time in a concert hall with a pianist and faculty to help guide you through the process. You will leave the weekend with the valuable experience of recording your audition material multiple times and take home a digital file of your recording sessions.
Also included in the Viola Winter Intensive Audition track program: multiple mock auditions with immediate feedback for improvement from the faculty, an audition discussion on the audition process from beginning to end, an interactive performance anxiety seminar, rehearsals with our faculty pianist for recordings (if needed), and a Yoga class for maintaining your health during a stressful process.
