Progress report - orchestral audition!

The learning process (this was the second day of practising it)

Learning fast notes

I’m currently working on an assignment for my MMus module ‘Applied Performance Studies’. For my project I have chosen ‘preparing for an orchestral audition’ as the focus.

Twenty-five years ago I stopped playing the flute. Pretty much completely. The reasons behind this are complicated and personal, but it definitely isn’t something anyone would have predicted for me growing up. Growing up the flute was my life. From very soon after starting to play, it was what I wanted to do ‘when I grew up’. And that never wavered. 

I want to talk about my learning process for the 2nd Movement of Khachaturian’s Flute Concerto.
