Instructions
Prepare and submit BOTH videos specified below. Students of all abilities and experience levels are encouraged to apply.
Video 1
Perform ONE prepared solo selection without accompaniment. Playing without accompaniment means playing by yourself without a track or additional instruments.
Select a piece you feel confident performing that shows your skill level and musicality.
Your face, hands, and whole instrument should be clearly visible, including the full keyboard for pianists.
If your instrument has a pedal, your feet should be visible.
Before playing, briefly introduce yourself, and provide the following information:
Your name
Your Student ID number (OSIS number)
Title of the piece you will be playing
Why did you choose this piece? How does this piece speak to you as a musician? (30 seconds or less)
Video 2
Perform ONE scale of your choice at a tempo (speed) you find comfortable. For Video #2, drummers (i.e., candidates who play non-pitched percussion instruments) submit a video of TWO rudiments, rather than scales.
This is another opportunity for reviewers to learn more about how:
low and how high you can play.
comfortably and quickly you can move from note to note.
clean and precise your playing is.
well you are able to play in tune.
well you know what notes make up your selected scale.
playing the correct notes is most important.
Before playing, briefly introduce yourself, and provide the following information:
Your name
Your Student ID number (OSIS number)
The name of the scales or rudiments you will be playing.
For help preparing a scale or if you do not know what a scale is, please see the Resources for Audition Preparations
Callbacks: Individual schools may hold “callbacks” and request that you attend an individual appointment to perform additional music tasks, for example: singing back melodic patterns; tapping back rhythmic patterns; or completing a sight-reading task for which you play a short amount of music from sheet music you have not seen before. Schools may invite you to “callbacks” for other school specific requirements. Do not be concerned if you are not invited for a callback. A callback does not mean acceptance or rejection.
