Wanna Capture The Panel In The Audition? Share Your Story

The Confident Musicianing Podcast

I remember the first time that I knew I wanted to become a professional oboist. I was in sixth grade and had just composed an oboe trio with a friend. When we played it in the school band concert and got a standing ovation, I felt it right there: the connection. The fact that I had just created something, performed something and through that something I had moved people -- I had connected.
Standing there taking my bow, I knew that I had to chase this feeling. And I have been chasing it ever since.
That is the story I have told in auditions that have gotten me scholarships and music school places. Yes, we can play in auditions and that is so important, but how do we capture the panel even more? Through stories. *
Today we dive into the power of storytelling in auditions, and how you can create compelling stories for the panel.
*This is only applicable when the audition includes talking or an interview. This does not work in a blind audition, or an audition where you just play.
