Two contrasting pieces (ie. Baroque or Classical AND Romantic or 21st Century) or one major work that demonstrates the technical and musical range of the applicant. Piano accompaniment is not required.
Be mindful that the audition for Prep is more about learning about the level of the student and their abilities. You do not have to feel lots of pressure to play at a very high level of preparedeness!
String players should bring a pianist for works that require accompaniment.
Bring at least one copy of your music for the jury
Live audition strongly preferred over online/video audition; exceptions over a live audition will be made on a case-by-case basis. Please email info@friedmusic.com for your reasons when you send in the application.
Be prepared for the jury members to make some comments and work with applicant for a few minutes
Junior Chamber Music:
- All applicants will be applying for JCM alongside Pre-College Preparatory and do not need to fill out a separate application form or re-audition.
- The application fee reflects the fee for applying for two programs.
