Music - Brass/Percussion Recommended Material

Brass players should audition on their principal instrument only.

Percussionists should audition showcasing the full range of their skills across all performance areas: mallet, un-tuned, and drum set. Equal consideration will be given to those who are skilled in a single, or two of the three performance areas.

Audition repertoire should showcase your performance level at its very best and you at your most comfortable. You should present the following:

  1. Performances of / excerpts from two contrasting pieces. The pieces should be a Grade 3 or up in level and no longer than 5 minutes each in duration.
  2. Major Scales.

If you have any questions about auditions or your choice of repertoire, please email Prof. Davoren tdavoren@benedictine.edu.
