Montsegour Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 First to say hi, I'm new here ( i heard there's this forum in TB forums )... Well, I aint here just to interduce my self, but to ask one question and stick around for much longer i hope =). Could you tell me, ( if you had experience ) what does the "commision" ussualy ask of you on Orchestra audition? Or what could they ask of me.. I've heard a rumour that they'll ask me to play something, whatever i know - and is asskickin' ( not much sure they'll ask me JUST that.. ) So, any help is welcome Thanks =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Normally auditions for this kinda thing would involve you playing a piece of your own as well as a piece they give you. Can you sight read music? I know when I auditioned for a Big Band around 6 months ago, they just handed me a piece of music and asked me to play it a couple of minutes later. I'd imagine that for any kind of large ensemble, the ability to sight read is always an advantage anyway! If you can do that proficiently as well as having a high standard of technical ability then you should have no problems! Good luck with the audition and let us know how you do!
