Focus on taking Auditions through Masterclasses, Lectures, Sectionals, Mock Auditions and Lessons with Faculty Karl Pituch of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Denise Tryon of the Philadelphia Orchestra. In preparation for these mock auditions, there will be mastclasses lead by both Karl Pituch and Denise Tryon on the specific lists. We ask that you print out the lists and come prepared with the music for the specified excerpts. After each mock audition, we will discuss the results of the auditions. Besides the orchestral excerpts, we ask that you prepare a solo horn piece. We feel that playing an unaccompanied piece will help you prepare for an audition. There will be masterclasses on the solo horn pieces and you will have an opportunity to perform your piece in the closing concert. There will be an opportunity for participants (as a part of their fee) to have a lesson with either Karl or Denise during the week. If an auditor would like to have a lesson with either Karl or Denise, there will be an added charge of $75 for a 45 minute lesson. We will also be working as sections to explore what makes a great section, and what part you play in that section. There will be lectures and discussions on audition preparation, performance anxiety, warm up techniques, resumes, plus much more. Audition Mode will take place at the Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins Institution in Baltimore, Maryland.
