Mock Audition Training

Overview

The Mock Audition Training program is the core engine of our Orchestral Training Division. Open to all serious players — with no audition required — this elite, year-round training system prepares musicians to win. Whether you're targeting summer festivals, professional orchestra positions, or conservatory entrance, this program delivers what no one else offers: weekly live audition simulation, personalized coaching, and access to world-class faculty who sit on real audition panels worldwide.

This is not a one-off masterclass. It's a weekly audition gym — a performance pressure lab — built for long-term growth, elite refinement, and professional readiness.

Program Components

1. Weekly Mock Auditions

  • Simulated preliminary, semi-final, and final rounds
  • Rotating focus by instrument family (brass, strings, winds, percussion)
  • Behind-the-screen evaluations mimicking real audition conditions
  • Anonymous feedback followed by faculty reveal + debrief
  • Optional on-camera performances for review

You’ll play like it’s real — because that’s the only way to train for reality.

2. Panel Feedback & Coaching

  • Immediate feedback from professional orchestra musicians
  • Clear, actionable insight: what works, what doesn’t, and how to improve
  • Audition “micro-feedback” on rhythm, articulation, pacing, tone, and style
  • Strategic notes: what to say, how to walk on stage, how to recover from errors
  • Personalized follow-up coaching available each week

3. 1-on-1 Audition Strategy Sessions

  • Bookable weekly (limited slots)
  • Watch and dissect your own performance with a coach
  • Build your personalized audition plan: warm-ups, pacing, recovery strategies
  • Get mental, musical, and logistical feedback — not just “play it again”

This is the part no one talks about: what actually happens between rounds — and how to stay ready.

4. Video Submission & Remote Participation

  • Can’t attend live? Submit your round via video each week
  • Get integrated into that week’s mock process with the same feedback
  • Ideal for global participants or those in school or working

5. Integration with Division Resources
  • Excerpt Labs: Master the most commonly requested excerpts with faculty section leaders before your mock
  • Sectional & Principal Coaching: Learn how your playing fits inside the ensemble, not just solo
  • Mindset & Psychology: Weekly training for audition focus, nerve control, and long-term confidence
  • Audition Recording Review Library: Watch yourself and others grow. Faculty-analyzed clips. Approved example takes. Historical archive.
