Coming Fall 2019: Audition Skills Workshop
A unique workshop for middle and high school students so that students can audition confidently and successfully!
August 24, 2019 1:00-4:00 pm in Turner Jazz Center on Drake University Campus
In this workshop, we’ll focus on that HOW – how to prepare for a big audition, and how to perform while nervous. We’ll do small performing and writing exercises, and each student will start drafting an individual plan for success. You’ll be able to try out your new skills with a mock audition, so bring your instrument and be prepared to perform a small portion of something that you’re very comfortable playing – a solo, etude, or just a few scales. Taught by Kristin Sullivan. Click here or email cynthia.giunta@drake.edu for more information.
