Audition Requirements
Each audition will be split into 3 parts: scales, excerpt, and solo piece. Choose the scale/excerpt from below that you feel best represents your ability. It's okay to challenge yourself! To be considered for NUYS you must at minimum play the level 2 scales/excerpt.
​
Scales
Level 1: One octave scale of your choice
Level 2: Two octave major scale,
One octave melodic minor scale
Level 3: Three octave major scale,
Two octave melodic minor scale
​
Excerpt
These excerpts are supposed to be challenging, so just do the best you can. These excerpts will not make or break your audition! Tempos are listed but not required.
​
Solo
Prepare a one minute (or slightly less) excerpt of a prepared solo, etude, or orchestral excerpt of your choice. If you don't have a solo, reach out to us for resources. Please choose something that really shows off your skills.
