Hello everyone!
I am a senior in high school and preparing for my upcoming college auditions.
If any of you have some experience with the following schools, I would love to hear about what the audition day experience was like for you. If you are an oboist or the parent of an oboist, I would also greatly appreciate hearing more specific details such as repertoire played, final results, and anything else you would be willing to share.
I am auditioning at Temple, BU, Oberlin, NEC, Eastman, and Curtis. I have friends auditioning at Juilliard, CIM, Northwestern, and UMich so if you could provide details on those as well it would be greatly appreciated.
I realize there are other oboe posts in the archive, but many of them are five years old or more, and border on irrelevancy. Thanks in advance!
I already checked there 
Unfortunately, there are no oboe-specific results, which I really wanted to hear about.
The rep for oboe at Curtis is pretty much prescribed.
My daughter is young but has friends at several schools you mention, but I don’t know what their audition materials were.
The kinds of questions you’re asking make me think you might want an audition prep specialist. The name I’ve heard is Anne Marie Gabriele of Los Angeles.
My daughter has heard that the Oberlin prof doesn’t give sample lessons.
At BU, Robert Sheena is very personable. My understanding is that John Ferrillo doesn’t typically work with undergrads there (but he does at NEC).
Although it is pretty much prescribed rep at Curtis, there is still much to decide - which concerto, ferling etude, Bach aria, much like the other schools. Even within the repertoire guidelines, there are many decisions to make. As my auditions are very close, I have mine planned out, but I was just curious to see what people have done in the past, especially in terms of what has worked at these schools and what has not!
