Aegis Fang Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hey skippy, if they're not looking for phrasing and musicality... what are they looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Beats the heck out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRtrumpet Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Today my director told me this: (Even though I dont quite know what he meant) Â "Sometimes at these region auditions, they are not looking for the best player, but the most prepared, so the best player might not always get the best chair placement" Â Again, I have no clue what he meant... lol.

arundo Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Aegis Fang, the judges WANT you to do good....They want you to be able to make them not have to look at the music for error, they want to sit back and listen...they want a performer...You gotta get them hooked by your 1st starting note....its the most important note you will play in your whole audition.

itsstephenyo Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 at region especially they award right notes much more than phrasing and musicality. two years ago the kid who got second chair at my region had AMAZING fingers. wow. clean. but he sounded lk a lawnmore with a screeching cat on it. everything stayed one dynamic. if they'dve taken tone, pitch, and phrasing into account, i don't think he'dve gotten so high.

PlayOboe Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I agree with that 100%. Area is where the musicality tends to win in my opinion, since everyone is technically proficient. I always place better at area than at region, and I think that's the reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
