• Register for your audition online

  <p>If you can’t attend in person, you can submit a video-recorded audition. Your recording must be no more than 4 months old.</p>

• Double check all of the requirements

  <p>Make sure you follow the audition requirements for your specialisation. If you’re auditioning on an instrument or voice, remember you need to have an accompanist.</p>

• It all comes down to sound quality

  <p>Whatever equipment you’re using to record your audition, do your best to maximise the sound quality by choosing your location carefully. If you can, try and use an ensemble room or recital hall. It doesn’t need to be recorded professionally, a simple ZOOM recorder is enough.</p>

• It’s not what you play that counts, it’s how you play

  <p>When selecting repertoire, you want to play it comfortably and well. A piece that’s achievable is better than going for something that’s <em>difficult. </em>The audition panel will look for quality of performance.</p>

• Show your personality

  <p>An audition panel consists of musicians. Show them that you’re one too and that you have a passion for music. Be technically proficient, but don’t fret about <em>technique</em> – they’ll be on the lookout for potential.</p>
