<p>Anyone planning to send out music supplements this fall? I'll be submitting a flute cd (I'm currently working towards an ABRSM diploma - how familliar would people / music depts in the US be with this?) but I'm not sure of the pices / level required yet - what would be considered 'good/advanced'with the flute? </p>
<p>I'm international so I dunno what state/national levels would be like, can anyone give me an idea please? (ie by stating your instrument/ pieces you're planning to submit), cheers</p>
<p>Check the schools to which you are applying. Some are very specific in that they will NOT look at any materials not required in their application.</p>
<p>Ooh, I'm a flutist too! The criteria varies for different schools. Yale's site just says a recording about 10 minutes long that shows the range of your skills. I'm not sure how I would cover all the periods and styles, plus technical and tonal flexibility in that time span, but I figured a part of a slower Baroque piece, some Romantic French-type music, and a far-out modern piece should cover it.</p>
<p>Music schools take longer recordings, and most ask for auditions anyway. For IUB, I need a concerto (Mozart, Mercadante, Ibert, Nielson, etc.), proficiency in Baroque (maybe a Telemann Fantasie or some of a Bach Sonata), and a "piece of contrasting style." Which to me means Density 21.5, Sequenza, or something else that the listener initially says, "huh?" to.</p>
<p>I never know how to answer questions about "level," because to me all pieces are valid expressions of a players' capacity. Harder isn't necessarily better, and more technical isn't necessarily harder. I should sit down and map out my pieces for this year as well, sorry I can't help more definitely.</p>
<p>Son had a grade 8 oboe ABRSM and put it on resume. Be specific about what it means; write it out. Associated Board etc. He didn't audition anywhere in person. He sent all tapes according to what they stated that they wanted on the music school websites. One school called him back and wanted him to fly to NY. We couldn't afford it. But in the end he was accepted everywhere. Like stated above, read all the information on the websites. Do your research on what schools may be right for you.</p>
<p>I don't think I'm applying directly to a music school (though I'd love to do a double ba/mm degre), I was thinking of doing the chaminade concerto, which is just about 10.</p>
<p>ooh yes i meant the concertino sorry. meh but scratch that, it looks like music schools may be on the lsit anyway. I feel a little ignorant asing, but what is IUB?</p>
<p>IUB: Indiana University at Bloomington. It's a state school, but one of the top music departments in the country. Some say it's even better than Julliard because all the resources are concentrated on campus. It's huge and competative. They have a brilliant theater program too, and the Singing Hoosiers are famous.</p>
<p>i'm a flutist too and was wondering the same stuff. i was thinking about maybe playing some mozart concerto and then perhaps the griffes poem or a french piece. When you say resume, does that mean list all of the concert pieces you have played and music activities? Also I'm a pianist, so should I send in two separate CDs?</p>
