Audition Etudes & Scales
> 2020-21 OkMEA First Round / NBDA HS Audition Etudes
SCALES
Scales are not required at the district level audition. The scale requirement applies to the December 2nd/Final Round auditions. Scales do not have to be memorized. Students who audition in a finals only room will play scales, prepared etudes, and sight-reading during the course of their audition. Students auditioning in a prelim room will play their required etude cuts and scales in the preliminary audition. Students advancing to finals will perform only the required etude cuts and sight-reading in their finals audition. Scales are titled using INSTRUMENT KEY rather than concert pitch. Auditioning students will perform any one of four possible sets of scale etudes, each containing two major scales and one chromatic scale. Students will enter the audition room, draw at random to determine which of the four scale sets is to be played, and perform that set.> Download 2020-21 Scale Sets Packet
