What You’ll Learn

Nothing about these tips is especially hard. They take time, but they also save you time – that’s the Modacity philosophy. 

LEARNING MUSIC
THE RIGHT WAY

Too many performers show up for an audition planning to deliver a series of right notes and rhythms. However, learning the music requires practicing the emotions and large-scale gestures of your audition pieces. You must master the big picture. Get this right and so many details will take care of themselves.

IMPROVING TECHNICAL
SOPHISTICATION

Knowing the music inside out isn’t enough. Doing well at an audition requires technical sophistication. Realistically, achieving technical sophistication means evolving with informed priorities. Get better every day, at the thing you most need to get better at. Know the expected standard, aim high, and practice smart.

BRINGING IT TO
THE AUDITION

Being able to play your audition music with excellence in the practice room is completely different from being able to play it with excellence in an audition. The final step of audition success is to invest in the skills and practices that will translate all your hard work to the stage.
