Audition Education

9/19/2011

After a recent audition experience, I was really interested to see the various reactions of fellow auditionees.  It's hard to say if people don't want to "toot their own horn" (sorry, lame pun), but there was a lot of negativity circulating about their turns on deck.  Personally, I was really happy with many things I accomplished, and though I didn't win, I am so much better for the experience! First and foremost, I know that my playing improved exponentially because of the preparation experience.  But, I remind myself constantly: what did I learn, what did I do well, and where do I get to go from here? Of course we need to recognize our areas for improvement, but we need to take a moment to applaud all the things we did well, and how much we accomplished in the process! Allowing for that positivity in our experience will make moving forward from it much more effective and rewarding.  So next time you have an audition - enjoy it!
