| thanks everyone for the wealth of information! I also agree that this practice of a repertoire list is mainly meant for a classical applicant. I thought someone might have had some experience with Purchase before or with jazz studies in general. I am wondering if this request is added to the Purchase audition materials because it is a general mailing to all kids including the classical ones. I guess I'll call just to clarify. I think Michigan came up with the P, M, and S classifications--or, it might have been UMass. Is it different from Classical studies that Jazz students learn as many standards as they can, even if they haven't yet performed them? Sounds like it.
Anyway, thanks again for all the support!
P.S Just heard from the road that The New School audition went well this morning. Playing for Reggie Workman was way exciting for my son! |
