Announcing the Audition Lab
“I need a fresh start! Looking back on my preparation during the past 12 months, I lacked a clear plan of how to make progress. I was so worried about getting back in shape and feeling behind the curve, I lacked the insight and understanding of how to get there. I thought I was doing all the right things, but in hindsight, I wasn't 😭😭😭"
That was an email we got from a student recently. She committed to taking two auditions in the next 6 months, and feels like she's in the deep end! So, if this is currently you right now, you’re not alone.
With all the auditions being announced (check out musicalchairs.info where there are 15 clarinet auditions coming up around the world!), maybe you’re trying to figure out how to get in or back in the game. Maybe you’ve already committed to one of those auditions! Maybe you're so not even there yet and asking yourself… “Am I even audition ready?!"
Today, we're throwing you 2 audition life rafts! If you need a tiny boost out of the water, or are ready for some serious help, we've got 2 fall programs that will deliver. We're thrilled to partner with Ralph Skiano of the Detroit Symphony, author of Behind the Screen: A Winner’s Guide to Preparing Your Next Audition in both of these showstoppers!
#1: The FREE 5-Day Audition Reboot
On Sept 20-24 @ 6pm ET, we're going live with Ralph to help you get your audition affairs in order! This Monday to Friday training will be that life preserver you need to take the first important steps to audition-readiness! And, it's open to ALL instruments. You should join the Audition Reboot if you want to:
- decide which auditions to attend
- write a kick ass resumé or c.v.
- book travel with clarity
- create an audition book
- make a listening list
- mental training and preparation
- physical training and preparation
#2: The Audition Lab: Going Behind the Screen with Ralph Skiano
Starting Oct 10, this 6-week digital course combined with live training and an optional additional 6-weeks of clarinet audition-specific coaching tackles the start to finish details of preparing for, performing and processing an audition, based on Ralph’s book Behind the Screen. Enrollment opens Sept 20 and the course starts Oct 10. Live coaching will happen on Sunday evenings @ 7:30pm ET for 6 weeks… so mark your calendars now and be on the lookout for when we open registration.
We believe your audition process is deeply personal. These programs aim to give preparation and execution strategies that have worked for many in the past - and from which you can experiment and learn what works for you! We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, because we are all unique, magical beings!
Let's get you out of the deep end, and into results mode 💪🏼💪🏽💪🏻💪🏾
