Doubling Preferences

I do not have access to a doubling instrument, but I would be interested in borrowing one and learning if I am accepted into a TRYPO program. I do not have access to a doubling instrument, and I am not interested or don't have time to learn how to play one, if I am accepted into a TRYPO program.

AUDITION SCHEDULING:

Once the audition schedule is finalized, TRYPO will contact registered students for scheduling requests.

TRYPO will accommodate student scheduling requests whenever possible, in the order that complete applications are received. Not all scheduling requests may be able to be accommodated, however. Students are welcome to request permission to submit a video audition in the event that a live audition is not possible. While we always prefer to meet you and hear you play in person, plenty of students are accepted via video auditions! See more information about video auditions HERE.
Do you have any scheduling requests for your audition date (if your instrument has more than one day), or time constraints?
Do you need to fill out this Audition Application Form for any additional students?

Yes, I need to register another student for an audition. No, this is the only, or this is the last application I need to fill out. .
