I have an audition and interview tomorrow at Berklee College of Music in Boston, and I’m soooo nervous!
This is my top, favorite school, but my very first interview and audition. I don’t want to mess up or make a fool of myself! I’ve prepared my piece, but am still very nervous about the sight reading, ear training, ‘blues progression’ and stuff.

Any words of wisdom, advice, tips, and suggestions would be appreciated!!

Yup thats me asked:


Ok so in drum line today me and this other kid where auditioning for the only open spot on snare. He had been taking lesson from our instructor and has been working on the music for 2 or 3 weeks now. I have been taking lessons form a guy my instructor recommended. I only had the music for one day. During the audition, i screwed up one bceause i was nervous two because i hadn’t had the music that long. then we had to do sight reading and i played it almost perfectly. he didn’t. Drum line captain said i should of made it on snare. but our instructor chose the other kid. my mom thinks i should send him an e-mailing stating i don’t think this was fair. It wasn’t. Yet i don’t want to sound like im complaining. Do you think it would be reasonable to send him an e-mail?
