What we calibrate for violists
Alto-register tone calibration
C-string warmth, bow distribution on long lines, vibrato shape on the upper string: the Judge flags the things violists actually get cut on.
Excerpt-aware feedback
Bartok, Walton, the Telemann: known viola audition repertoire is in the Judge's training set. Bar-specific notes name the actual measure.
Cross-instrument honesty
Most AI tools were trained mostly on violin recordings. Ours treats viola as a distinct instrument with its own rubric, not a violin one fifth lower.
Common Florida violist audition questions
How are FMEA Violist auditions scored?
Florida Music Education Association panels grade tone, intonation, rhythm, tempo, and musicality. Practice with the teacher to find out which dimension is actually costing you points, then fix it before the real thing. Free, no signup.
What are the FMEA violist audition tiers?
Florida runs District (FBA/FOA), All-State auditions, ordered from local to statewide. Florida Music Education Association sets the required repertoire each season.
When is the Florida violist audition window?
September–November. Lock in your hardest passages well before it opens: the cuts reward consistency under pressure, not last-minute cramming.
What repertoire is on the FMEA violist audition?
FOA solo + scale + sight-reading rubric. Pull the official FMEA excerpt list and isolate the two hardest passages on each excerpt before you practice the rest.

Yes. Record any 30 seconds of your FMEA violist prep and Orchestra Kingdom returns a panel verdict plus five-dimension scores in about a minute, so you know exactly what to fix before the real All-State.
