College Music Audition Questions?

• I have some quick questions about college music auditions! 1.) Will my private instructor recieve any information regrading my audition, comments from college professors, etc? (Sorry if it's vague.) 2.) Is it a blind audition? 3.) Will I have to play a complete sonata or concerto, or just 1 movement? 4.) Will I need an accompianst for some schools? Schools: 1.) University of Illinois at Urbana 2.) University of Iowa 3.) University of Indiana 4.) Ball State 5. University of Michigan Major: Music Education Instrument: Flute PreparedPieces: Orchestral Excerpts: L'apres Midi D'un Faune, Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe, Beethoven's Lenore Overture Concertos and Solos: Carl Nielsen's Concerto, Mozart Concerto in D Major, and Cantabile et Presto by Enesco Please answer away!!

• Answer:

  1.) Probably not. You might be able to ask the school for judge's comments AFTER they make a decision, but I doubt it. 2.) Most auditions usually are blind, but be prepared for a short interview in case if it's not! 3.) Compete works are usually only for graduate auditions...but check your college's specific requirements. 4.) You should ALWAYS have an accompanist. It shows you are serious enough about your future career to invest actual money into it. Sometimes the college provides people for you, but I'm sure you could always work with a student that goes to the college or someone else if that isn't the case.
