Audition Requirements

Please prepare a piece or a few excerpts of your choosing for a minimum of two instruments with which you are proficient and for which you are aiming to be accepted into the program. These excerpts should clearly display many facets of your musicality (e.g. dynamics, styles, articulations). Playing on Broadway requires musicians to play in many styles and deal with many different situations. The goal of this audition is to prove to the panel that you have the versatility it takes to excel in the field. Good luck — we look forward to hearing your video submissions.
