> Welcome to ViolinExcerpts.com, an ongoing project to become the premier online resource for helping violinists prepare for orchestra auditions. The site centers around three main sections: excerpt study, masterclasses, and the mock audition. The site is free to use, and you can create a login ID if you wish to comment on videos. Read below for more information, or click through the main menu to get started. If you have an excerpt that you would like to see added to the site, email me using the form below.
Study the Excerpt
Find the desired excerpt and listen to professional recordings at the same time. There are many options of recordings to hear different interpretations.
Learn from the Experts
Watch masterclasses from professionals, as they describe what the panel is looking for, common mistakes, and tips for winning that job!
Play Behind the Screen
When you’re ready, record a mock audition of yourself and get personalized feedback that will help you improve even more. And you’ll also get to see what it’s like to be on the other side of the screen.
