How Orchestra Kingdom prepares you for IMEA
- Same rubric the panel uses. The Judge scores tone, intonation, rhythm, tempo, and musicality on the same scale IMEA adjudicators do, calibrated against real audition feedback.
- Specific, not generic. Not "work on intonation" but which interval, which passage, how the drift manifests. A real teacher's specificity, between lessons.
- Audition Prep Mode (Kingdom Pass). Set your audition date and target. The Oracle plan rebalances your daily drill schedule against your timeline. Within 21 days: zero new material, review only.
- Three-panelist Simulator. Practice the room. Three named AI panelists deliberate, you hear them argue, you get a verdict. Closest thing to the real chair.
