Orchestral excerpts remain a focus in most audition processes, and while we might look for a better way to display our skills, we will always be expected to show that you know the various ‘core’ pieces of our repertoire, very well. For this reason, any specialist institution will have this process as a central part of their programme so if you are looking at further study, it is a good idea to set up a productive way to approach this learning.
In my latest resource on How To Approach Excerpts, I look at why you might learn these, share 3 steps on how to approach them and have compiled lists of what repertoire to include in your practice. Enjoy!
