Audition - Harp & Piano

SELECTING AND PREPARING FOR YOUR AUDITION.

1. Scales. Candidates should prepare a 1-2 octave scale of the student’s choice.  Candidates should strive to perform the required scales with a healthy tone, steady rhythm, good intonation, and smooth bow changes. 

2. Excerpts. Download the appropriate placement excerpts below. 

3. Solo Selection. Candidates should perform a 1-2 minute excerpt of a solo piece that demonstrates current level of ability.

There are limited positions for harp and piano. Pianists who place into Philharmonic Orchestra or Symphony Orchestras will also be considered for participation in other LYO ensembles.  Pianists and harpists who play other instruments (flute, for example) may submit more than one audition.
