The Audition Method, Volume I
The Audition Method for Clarinet, Volume I is for aspiring and established clarinetists looking to win orchestral auditions. Clarinetists can use this book throughout the entire process of preparing for an audition, including at the audition itself.
In this volume Benjamin Baron, in collaboration with Mark Nuccio, provides core clarinet audition repertoire in three versions: the excerpt as it appears in the real part, an annotated version, and a version to use in the audition. All annotations are carefully made in blue ink for ease of reading.
Nuccio and Baron provide detailed information about preparing each piece, as well as primary and secondary points of interest when preparing an audition. They also provide a number of practice exercises aimed at overcoming specific challenges of each excerpt.
The Audition Method is truly an invaluable aid that has the potential to transform and improve the entire audition experience.
