Hone your audition chops with a deep dive into horn orchestral excerpts. The Institute will include preparation of standard audition repertoire (both solo and sectional repertoire) for selected passages from horn 1, 2, 3, 4 and assistant parts, and will address score study, sonic modeling, practice strategies, and performance psychology. Each participant will receive 3 private lessons with the faculty, and daily group master classes and mock auditions, culminating with a “final round” of a solo (with piano accompaniment) and a rendition of selected excerpts of the participant’s choice. The Sibley Music Library will serve as an iconic resource to access contemporary and historical recordings of the works studied, as well as a vast repository of scores and complete parts.
