The School of Music offers Individual (MUSI) flute instruction. Prospective graduate students who wish to study through the School must perform an audition before the flute professor or via video recording.
Repertoire
Prepare 15 to 25 minutes of memorized repertoire that showcase your lyric, technical, and interpretative musical skills. In addition to performing the first movement of either the Mozart G-Major or D-Major concerto with a cadenza, this should include complete performances of single-movement sonatas, through-composed sonatinas, French contest works, or unaccompanied pieces. Consider performing works from differing style periods that demonstrate your strengths. Refer to the Suggested Repertoire list below for suitable works to complete your audition.
Live Audition
Contact Dr. Luce to schedule an audition during one of the regular audition dates or during a time when you wish to visit the University of Arizona. A live audition is preferable as it also allows you the opportunity to visit the campus, meet current students, and discuss the program with the professor. Your audition repertoire must be performed from memory.
Recorded Audition
Prepare an unedited video recording of 15 to 25 minutes of memorized repertoire including the first movement of either the Mozart G-Major or D-Major concerto with a cadenza. Record any accompanied works with piano. Additionally, include five minutes of any technique exercise(s) of your choosing in 6 different major and 6 different minor keys (e.g. Taffanel et Gaubert 17 Daily Exercises, Moyse Daily Exercises, etc.). The video may be sent in DVD, VHS tape, or Video CD media. You may also submit video recordings in QuickTime, RealMedia, WindowsMedia, or Adobe Flash format via E-mail or web site URL link(s).
