<p>As the title reads it looks like I have to get my cd into William Patterson in the next couple of days and could use some help picking songs and just general advice. I just recently decided to apply and even more recent found out I have to apply in the next couple of days. I have to have one medium tempo song, one fast tempo, and a ballad. Thank you all any help is much appreciated!</p>
<p>It really depends on what is in your repetoire. You can’t reinvent the wheel in a couple of day. I would go with the songs that you currently play the best from each category.</p>
<p>Isn’t this a odd time of the year for an audition tape to be due?</p>
<p>William Patterson was one of the schools in the NACAC survey with seats still available.</p>
<p>bmaas…this does look familiar - I’m assuming you are a jazz studies applicant? Geo113 is correct - choose tunes that you are very familiar with and can play well. Try to get a couple of practice sessions in with your other musicians and leave plenty of time to do retakes if needed. Good luck! We know a grad of this program and she is currently a very in demand sax player in NYC.</p>
