SYMPHONY AUDITIONS: IF YOU GET CUT




Back | Contents | Next

Getting cut from an audition is a painful experience. It's posssible that you could have had an off day, or that the committee simply didn't like what they heard. Use each audition as a building block, trying to learn something from it that will help you the next time. If after several auditions you are not getting past the first round and you feel you are playing wonderfully, perhaps it is time to review your standards instead of blaming every audition committee for being crazy.

Sometimes a committee will offer their written comments to candidates. These can be helpful, so ask the personnel manager if they can be sent to you. Keep in mind, though, that comment sheets are kept for the benefit of the committee members. Some comments may seem inconsistent or downright bizarre. If you don't understand them, throw them away.
