Graduation for 2019-20

Graduation auditions will be done via video this year.  The vids need to be submitted to Ms. Shelley at beardshelley@aol.com, Ms. Julie at  seoulmusic2@hotmail.com; and your private teacher.  Ms. Julie will forward to other teachers for viewing. The deadline is Monday, May 4 at 9am – NO EXCEPTIONS.  They will need to be youtube links (direct downloads or submissions via Dropbox, etc will not be accepted)

Guidelines:

-The subject line of your email containing the vid links should be “YOUR FULL NAME AND GRAD LEVEL”

-Start setting up a youtube account if you don’t already have one.

-You can make the videos “unlisted” for extra privacy if you desire.

-The vids should be UNEDITED, straight play throughs.  No splicing or editing.

-You should dress up as if it were a live audition.

-There should be no one else in the video or background other than MAYBE an accompanist should you be lucky enough to have one living in your household.

-You can do your scale(s) as one video and your piece as a separate video.  But send them both in the SAME email.

-If the attached guidelines give a metro marking for the scales, you must play along with an audible metro in the video.

-If there’s a piano accompaniment track listed in the attached Grad Docs, you must play along with that track.  It must be played as loud as a real piano.

-If the docs say you are to play with a live accompanist, see below:
