Trumpet Studio Audition Repertoire

---

Undergraduate Students

Audition material is flexible, but it should demonstrate your very best in both technical and lyrical playing.

 

Suitable repertoire includes the following:

• Standard Solo Trumpet Repertoire (i.e. Haydn, Hummel, Arutunian, Hindemith, Kennan, Stevens, Tomasi)
• Technical and Lyrical Etudes (i.e. Wurm, Charlier, Brandt, Goldman, Bitsch)
• Standard Orchestral Excerpts
• All-State Etudes

Please prepare a solo of your choice and a contrasting etude. You will also be required to sight-read. Those interested in the Bachelor of Music in Performance are encouraged to prepare 3-5 standard orchestral excerpts.

 

Graduate Students

Auditions should consist of standard repertoire including two contrasting solos, two contrasting etudes, 3-5 orchestral excerpts, and sight-reading.
