Use the following procedure exactly in the interest of greatest
fairness and uniformity. Guides should be instructed to inform
judges when the auditioning student is comfortably situated and ready
to begin. The tape recorder should be started, and one judge
should READ the following:
“Number (one), please play the (Bb major) scale after we stop the metronome.”
Judges will call for the desired scale by the actual name, not
concert pitch. Judges will ask for MS only 3 major
scales - easy, medium and difficult. HS - ANY TWO
Ask the same scales for all students and judge all three (MS)
(HS - TWO) of them equally.
After the major scales, the following should be read:
“Number (one), please play your chromatic scale after we stop the metronome.”
This procedure is used so that the student number and metronome tempo
is taped. After the chromatic scale, the following should be
read:
“Number (one), please play the prepared selection after we stop the metronome.”
Next the following should be read:
“Number (one), you have one minute to study the sight-reading selection beginning now.”
After one minute, read the following:
“Number (one), you may now tap one measure and play the sight-reading music at your own tempo.”
