Mannes string audition requirements
Mannes School of Music (The New School) requires violin, viola, cello, double bass applicants to prepare a focused audition program. No prescreen for strings. Strings audition live (or by recorded option). The fastest way to find out if your take is at standard is to score it on the same five dimensions a panel listens for, before you ever hit submit.
Requirements and deadlines change every admissions cycle, and exact repertoire varies by instrument and degree. Always confirm the current, official requirements before you prepare: Mannes official audition page
