UNIVERSITY AUDITIONS
University auditions - so many things to figure out!
​
1. FIND A PRIVATE TEACHER
If you do not yet have a private teacher, get one now. Flute is highly competitive and playing skills take a long time (years!) to build. Your private teacher will help you choose schools that fit your needs, help you navigate the different audition requirements, help you choose repertoire that suits your playing abilities, coach you on strategies to build up your weak spots and show off your strengths, and generally work with you to help you become a better musician.
​
​
2. KNOW YOUR THEORY
​
You'll be expected to have a good grounding in theory before you start. If you've only done theory at school, check in with your private teacher to make sure your level is high enough to stay afloat.
​
​
3. CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
​
Is there a piano requirement that has to be completed before you start? Sight-singing and ear-training tests? What is the academic cutoff? Do you need to bring your own accompanist?
​
​
4. CHECK IN WITH YOUR GUIDANCE COUNSELLOR
​
Go over the paperwork with your guidance counsellor at school.
​
LET'S GET STARTED!
Flute Lessons
Audition preparation lessons are 60 or 90 minutes per week and cover all audition materials - repertoire, studies, technical requirements, ear training and theory.
​
If the student does not have prior theory experience, or needs help with piano requirements, the 90-minute lesson time is strongly recommended.
​
Lessons are available to flute and piccolo players, in person or online.
​
Theory Lessons
Need extra help with the theory requirements?
​
Lessons start at 30 minutes for introductory theory levels, 45 minutes for upper level study and 60 minutes for harmony students.
​
Not sure if your theory is ready? We can do mock exams for you.
​
Open to all musicians, in person or online.
Mock Auditions
For students who want to have a chance to practice auditioning, we offer mock audition sessions where we walk you through the process, giving you a chance to see where your strengths are and where you need to work harder.
Open to all instrumentalists, in person or online.
Practice Coaching
Know what you have to do, but unsure how to get there?
Practice Coaching helps you structure your playing time to get the best results as quickly as possible. Practice strategies, timelines, practice session structure, approach analysis and more!
​
Open to all instrumentalists, online only.
