hallooo I have some tips that I hope will help when auditioning: -eat a banana -don't talk to ur friends before ur audition -focus on yourself and be cocky asf knowing you got it (but don't be outwardly cocky just know you can do it!) -pluck silently before you start -don't even think about the scale or the piece because you might second guess yourself and get parts wrong that you could have nailed hope these help

I tried out for all state once for Horn and it was my first audition and I have severe stage fright. Right when I played a note during my audition and heard the judges pencil move I forgot everything. My mind went completely blank and I forgot all my scales. I left the room crying and I still had my second half of my audition, which was the Etude section. Let’s just say in the end all my hard work went to wast because I got an 8.65 out of 60 on my audition and all I did was embarrass myself. Ever since this has become my biggest fear in music. Playing for an audition or test and forgetting everything.

What is the cause of these ‘mistakes’ you ask? You didn’t practice.

[@alexandrechatty5439]

It's a little bit short : you can pratice all day long ( I used to practice 10 hours a day when I was young ) and fail at your exams. Practicing a lot doesn't mean to be efficient.

[@PAVELKOULIKOV]

Practice is the most important obviously, but there is also the mental factor. You can play like Heifetz in your house and then feel so terrified in stage that you end up playing considerably worse than you can. Playing in your house and playing during an audition are 2 whole different worlds. It is a nerve wracking experience so you must do a lot of separate work to be able to play well under a lot of pressure.
