3) Prepare for the audition. If you are taking private lessons, consult with your teacher for help in preparing. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Grant Etchegary at getchegary@gmail.com. We are here to help you.
4) For the live audition option, the whole process will take no longer than fifteen minutes. During this time you will have the opportunity to perform for and speak with the artistic team of the Calos Youth Orchestras. The audition panel is extremely friendly and the audition experience is very casual. Though it is easy to say, there is really no reason to be nervous.
