Learn what audition panels actually listen for — from concertmasters who've sat on both sides of the screen.
Audition prep, core excerpt deep-dives, and annotated scores from Noah Bendix-Balgley (Berlin Philharmonic), David Kim (Philadelphia Orchestra), and Glenn Dicterow (former New York Philharmonic) — this collection helps violinists learn the notes, refine the approach, and develop the mindset it takes to play under pressure with ease.
Orchestral excerpts expose every part of your playing at once: sound, rhythm, articulation, style, preparation, and poise under pressure. This collection brings together the pieces that appear again and again on audition lists, plus broader guidance on process, mindset, etiquette, and preparation. With annotated scores, practical bowings and fingerings, and insider perspective from major concertmasters, members can learn not just what to practice, but what panels actually listen for when the pressure is on.
The process and the repertoire taught together — from how to prepare and present yourself to how the standard excerpts need to sound.
