Orchestra Kingdom
Preparing your session...
These are the high school double bass audition excerpts worth knowing. The fastest way to prepare any of them is to record a take and score it on the same five dimensions a panel listens for, tone, intonation, rhythm, tempo, and musicality, so you know exactly which one to fix before audition day. Pick a piece below to see its tempo, traps, and practice notes.
Common high school double bass audition excerpts include Eccles Sonata in G minor, Mvt. I (Largo), Capuzzi Double Bass Concerto in F major, Mvt. I, Telemann Sonata in A major (arr. bass), Mvt. I, Vivaldi Cello Concerto in G minor RV 413 (arr. bass), Mvt. I. Exact lists are set by your association each year, so confirm the official list, then practice each one.
Isolate the two hardest passages in each excerpt, drill them slowly with a drone for intonation, then rebuild to tempo. Record each one and check it against the rubric so you know which dimension to fix next.
