What to Prepare
What should I bring to the audition?
Please prepare 1-2 pieces of solo repertoire. If you have two contrasting pieces, excellent, but we realize that you are busy, and if you have only one piece that you are comfortable sharing at this time, that is perfectly fine! Accompaniment is welcome but absolutely not required.
Just be yourself. Part of the audition will include an informal chat. You do not need to prepare anything for this, we just like to get a sense of who you are. It is very informal, and we use your answers in your application to guide the conversation. Feel free to also ask us any questions you might have during this time.
Our admissions team look forward to meeting you soon!
Eligibility
You are eligible if you:
- Are a musician between the ages of 8–18 and have not enrolled in a college or conservatory. *
- Live in the USA for the majority of the year (or at least for the scholastic year).
- Are a classically trained musician (and yes, we do feature composers) – From the Top is aired on classical radio stations. Because of this, we are not able to veer too widely from the classical genre. However, we are interested in music that combines traditions! Contact auditions@fromthetop.org if you have a question about your genre of music.
*High School Seniors must apply by November 15th of their senior year.
