Requested Scales for PYSO Virtual Auditions

 

Thank you for auditioning for the Phoenix Youth Symphony Orchestras. Scales are important in student development. Our Audition Requirements list many scales and ranges (octaves) we feel are important to success in the corresponding ensemble.

Please be sure to perform the scales in succession on your single scales video – one continuous video. You may record as many takes as you like and then select the best take you like to upload and submit.

You need to perform the scales requested for the highest ensemble in which you are auditioning.

Ex 1: auditioning for Symphony Orchestra; also considered for Philharmonic and Wind Orchestra – perform and video the scales for Symphony Orchestra

Ex 2: auditioning for String Orchestra; also considered for Prelude Strings – perform and video the scales for String Orchestra

Ex 3: auditioning for Philharmonic only – perform and video the scales for Philharmonic.
