Infinity Music Orchestra Audition Requirements FOR AUGUST 2023!
Hello Everyone,
To All Orchestra Members-
Thank you for participating this Year!
Thank you for your support and positivity during rehearsals, practicing, learning, and in you work ethic. We had a great first year together!
Stay tuned for a text with a survey monkey link, to sign up for auditions. The audition will be in August on Zoom only. Please be ready with Zoom already set up and signed yourself in. Ms. Pearsall cannot go over time nor teach fingerings to you. This is an audition, not a private lesson. She is making sure everyone had the chance to relax for the last few weeks (post semester end) and now students will have 11 weeks to prepare for auditions. Please use your time wisely.
There will be a summer camp to enjoy non-classical music, that has not been 100% solidified yet. Please continue to practice this summer. (Avoid waiting last minute before practicing.) The audition requirements that are attached here override what is online the JN website, until it is properly updated. Ms. Peasall will include this information on her studio's website for clarification. Parents and students may access this website 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
