Testimonials

Read about what past participants are saying about the Junior Audition Workshop.

My wife and I were impressed with the coaching of the professors. Very nurturing, positive and expert-level delivery of feedback. I not only liked observing the feedback, but also how they had the student replay portion of the piece to understand the concepts the professor was trying to get across.

Parent

I wish you could bring this to the high schools. It was so unbelievably professional. For anyone thinking of making this their career it was a must. I believe in myself because professionals saw potential in me.

Student

Great preparation for what is expected in an actual audition.

Parent

Now I know what I need to work on for the real college audition.

Student

I really liked the way how I was able to dedicate my whole time to this workshop. Thanks so much for the comments! I also loved the mock audition and the masterclass too.

Student

From each judge, I liked how you were told the good and the bad things. It really helps me to understand what I need to work on mostly, the improvements that have to be made and also the great things I am already doing.

Student

I really liked how the teacher showed an easier way of playing passages. Relaxing the chin, I have never been told that. I think I have learned a lot from the main point, which was all about the sound.
