<p>That is very interesting information from the violin world, which could be quite a different kettle of fish than what we experienced. I can see how having many more applicants to get through could result in fewer questions or none at all. My daughter’s experience was that her most competitive audition (Curtis) lasted longer and involved more back and forth with the teachers than almost all of the others. It could be that the teachers do not feel the need to talk as much when the decision is fairly obvious, but want to find out more about the borderline cases. I think a lot also depends on the personality of the teacher and on how busy they are, not only with auditions but with life in general.</p>
<p>I completely agree with violindad’s advice to be ready for questions but not to be disappointed if you get none.</p>
