True, this does apply to most of these pieces. music major, music education, non-music major But looking back on it, I somewhat wish I would've played Sonata 'Vox Gabriell' from Joseph Alessi's CD "trombonastics.". the standards in a college audition are never THAT low. We know that you want to try, and that's why you are posting this question. It doesn't really matter what you play as much as how you play it. I've been working in it for a while, it's a solid piece which isn't ridiculously hard and shouldn't be a problem to pull off by an audition date. What's it called when someone pitch-bends their voice? The Grieg Holberg Suite is too hard, by the way. Is this only for me or is it for everyone ? Look smart. These also fulfill the requirements for my other choices. +1 to worov, was more patient than I today. If someone was asking for pieces to learn at an intermediate level, it doesn't make sense to suggest Liszt sonata, or Rachmaninoff concerto, or Bach partitas that are 30 minutes long. Each of the 'study options & audition requirements' sections within our faculties pages gives more detail about what you can expect to happen at audition, including details of multiple-stage auditions where applicable. It's doubtful you are going to come in with a solo no one has heard. You may want to consider majoring in something else and minoring in this instead. The school won't disappear within a year, and you have nothing to lose by waiting either. A short Romantic work by composers such as Chopin (Preludes, Waltzes), Schumann (Album for the Young), Schubert, Mendelssohn, or Brahms. «Reply #3 on: May 25, 2016, 03:08:28 PM ». Dazzle them with musicality. What is your opinion on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This can ruin an audition. 28 (1st or 2nd movement), Many of the Schumann Kinderszenen could work. You need to be able to play at a MINIMUM each of the works suggested or one of the same stylistic period and level of difficulty - not only technical, but musical and interpretively. So all’s good I suppose. Can't you set any boundaries ? They aren't going to impress anyone, this is really the bottom of what could get someone in. If those pieces are the audition requirements - then "basic competency" in this case is far more than what you will be able to cram in a few months. How do you think about the answers? Same here - what you are able to play right now does not correspond with the level that the college requires for your audition, and that is why we cannot give you any suggestions that will have any reasonable chance of getting you into the program! Your *attitude* towards others about this indicates that you will not believe me or any other qualified expert, either. Wow, I never even thought of asking my piano teacher. But the problem is we cannot give you suggestions that you won't be able to work with (because they are too advanced!). Still have questions? No - because 1) I won't be able to sing them, and 2) I am not ready for a college audition yet. Mignon and little piece of Clementi, plus some easy Baroque work, and NOT gonna cut it, kid. Added - It is YOU that does not get it. If I am a beginning singer who has just started taking lessons 1 month ago, will you suggest opera arias to me for my college audition? To think this, demeans all the students everywhere who have worked their butts off for YEARS, and have achieved many distinctions through HS. They will be STUNNING - and you are expected to be competent - and this WILL not happen to college acceptance standards in a few months.

Been listening to the classical music Four Seasons - anyone got any other suggestions? Thank you for the suggestions, I'll look into those. Audition pieces must be college level in terms of difficulty. All pieces … Not in any decent school, anyway. For example, for undergraduate auditions, the NEC suggests Hindemith, Saint-Saens, Bozza's Ballade, Grondahl concerto (thats tough though and they also list it for graduate auditions) or similiar level pieces. At least one of the three pieces must be performed from memory. You keep saying that you are NOT an idiot - but clearly, you know ZERO about music schools, no matter how academically good you might be. Sight reading will also be evaluated at on-campus auditions, but does not weigh into the decision of admission. I can't understand why people would want to make college applications a race against time, as if the earlier you get in, the better you are or the better your life will be. I'm working with what I've been given, and my chance may be small, but I have *no* chance if I don't atleast give it a shot. Audition judges hear it all the time and this can go against you.
