Prospective Students

Preparing for a university-level audition is the most important musical task in a student's high school years. If you want to study music at the college level, you have to pass an audition. Just to make the pressure unbearable, many music scholarships are also contingent on a good audition.

I've never figured out how to teach the piano over the web, but nevertheless I hope these videos will be helpful to students and teachers. They address the most common needs I have observed among students preparing for auditions.

These videos are in mp4 format. If you are using Windows and can't play them, do a web search for "mp4 player for windows" and you will find free players.
