3. Chamber music master classes for individuals are available only for strings, piano, and woodwinds (including horns).

Recorded Audition

Students will be selected via a recorded audition. Applicants are required to submit a recording of any repertoire (approximately 10- to 15-minutes long and made within the last year) on cassette tape, CD, MD, or DVD. Please be sure to put the applicant’s name, the title of the recorded piece, and the date and place of recording both on the media itself and on the case. As for the violin and piano classes, applicants are asked to submit two copies of the recorded material. If there are too many applicants for any specific class, there might be another screening for the second choice.
If the application is a group application for chamber music master classes, the recording should be made by the exact members who are going to attend the classes. If such a recording is unavailable, please submit a recording made by each individual in the group. Please note that recordings, once submitted, will not be returned.
