just a reminder
The judges are going to want to try to find a reason to not accept you. There are dozens of other people playing your piece and your set of excerpts for this panel. It is your job to walk into that audition room and show them something that only you can offer.

being a good music major
What makes a good student? What makes a good music student? What makes a good musician? How does one become a good musician?
Practicing?
Score studying?
Keeping a practice journal?
Starting sooner than everyone else?
Going to a conservatory?
They all have their benefits, and someone that does all the above might be a great musician, but there’s so much more to being a musician or a music student than locking yourself up in a practice room for six hours a day and going to a lesson once or twice a week. It’s more than orchestra rehearsal. It’s more than you and your instrument. In my own experience with being a music student, professors expected me to expand my knowledge, do research, and work on my own (as they should!). But, not all of us music students know what we need to practice, learn, or become aware of. Not all of us were lucky enough to be ready to apply for jobs or graduate school after obtaining a BM or BA.
It’s more important than you’d think it is to learn the main themes of standard choral, orchestra, and jazz works. It’s more important than you’d think it is to learn how to read open score and be proficient in playing the piano. It’s also more important than you think to get a head start on your audition excerpts. The bottom line is, **BEING PREPARED IS IMPORTANT!** So, I’m creating this blog so the musicsphere can (hopefully) give a helping hand to those of us that may need some help with anything and everything that has to do with becoming a better music student.. or musician overall.
Keep calm and practice on!
