How Orchestra Kingdom prepares you for NAfME
- Same rubric the panel uses. The Audition Simulator scores tone, intonation, rhythm, tempo, and musicality on the same scale NAfME 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.
