  2. Minnesota All-State Audition - Example and Tips - Video

    I've been asked to do a new project this year. Brian C. Wilson of iplayeuphonium.com is working to obtain recorded examples of the all-state audition pieces for all 50 U.S. states. I am doing the example for Minnesota.

    In this state a composer writes a special etude each year, which is one way to make sure there is an even playing field (i.e. the chosen piece is not one that anyone happened to have played in a lesson last year or something). Composer Timothy Mahr includes quite a lot ...

  4. Audition Advice - Part 2

    In previous posts I have covered some of the fundamentals of preparing for an audition.

  6. Audition Advice, Part 1

    I plan on writing an article with some advice on performing a good audition. It will be based on my experience with hearing many real auditions and mock auditions, plus my observations from the instructional auditions we do at the University of Minnesota.


    In the meantime, here is a great article written about trombone auditions. It from a few years ago, but is just as valuable today, and most of the reflections are applicable to euphonium and tuba as well as trombone.

  7. College Audition Repertoire

    This topic comes up regularly on the Euphonium-Tuba Forum and in many other venues: what should I play for a college euphonium audition?
