<p>I’m a pianist, but I’ve already had two of my auditions. At both of them, I received a question that threw me off a little bit: “What would you like to know about our school?” It sounds simple enough, but with all the research I’ve done on my schools, I didn’t have a whole lot to ask. I was also worried that if I couldn’t come up with any questions, I would appear uninterested in the program. I was able to come up with something off the top of my head, but I definitely panicked for a split second. I think these auditions were more laid back than the rest of mine will be, but I would go in prepared with a question or two for the faculty, just in case.</p>
<p>Thank you allegrovivace!</p>
<p>If you don’t mind, which schools have you already auditioned for? and you mean you asked the faculty questions after you played for them during your audition?</p>
<p>I had auditions earlier this month at Boston University and the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam. After I played through my repertoire, the faculty asked me a couple of questions (who do you study with, what are your academics like, etc.) and then asked me what I wanted to know about their program. Like I said, not a huge deal, but definitely threw me off a little bit!</p>
<p>i feel the same way lol i don’t think my technique is that superior :(</p>
