Preparing your session...
Stylistic precision matters more than speed at this level.
Tell the teacher what is going wrong in it, tempo, intonation, rhythm, tone, or musicality. Real fix in 30 seconds.
Be the first public take on Romanian Folk Dances (arr. viola and piano). Every shared score ranks on this board.
Claim the ThroneAround 100 bpm for viola audition prep. Panels reward effortless evenness at tempo over a rushed showpiece, so lock the tempo in before you push for speed.
On the same five dimensions real panels use: tone, intonation, rhythm, tempo, and musicality. High-school regional and all-state viola auditions where contemporary or 20th-century repertoire is permitted
Each of the six dances has a distinct character: the audition usually takes two or three. Decide which and commit to the character contrast between them. The folk-music articulation is central: the short bowed strokes must be clean and defined, not blurred into legato.
High School level. Make sure your scales and shifting are solid at this standard before you record an audition take.
