Auditioning
Students interested in the UI
Horn Studio are welcome to contact Prof. Agrell
for a meeting and/or a free lesson.
Undergraduate
Auditions
Audition Day usually falls on the second Friday in
February, but an audition may be arranged for any
mutually convenient date. An undergraduate audition
consists of playing two solos of contrasting style (e.g.
one lyrical, one technical; may be a solo or an etude),
major and chromatic scales and arpeggios, and
sight-reading.
Auditionees are advised to choose solo works that match and
demonstrate their current musical and technical abilities.
If you plan to attend Audition Day (February 19, 2010),
please register here.
Graduate
Auditions
Graduate auditions are played before for the
UI brass faculty and consist of playing about a
half-hour program of solo repertoire selections (may be
a single movement) from various eras (should include a
first movement from both a Mozart Concerto and a R.
Strauss Concerto) plus standard orchestral excerpts
(demonstrating both high and low horn abilities).
Auditioners should bring to the audition
four
copies of the program of
solos and excerpts that they are prepared to perform.
Contact Prof. Agrell for further
details.
