Orchestra Kingdom
Preparing your session...
These are the high school violin 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 violin audition excerpts include Vivaldi Concerto in A minor, Op. 3 No. 6, Mvt. I, Accolay Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor, opening, Vivaldi The Four Seasons: "Spring", Mvt. I (Op. 8 No. 1), de Bériot Violin Concerto No. 7 in G major, 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.
