Orchestra

Audition Information

Violin, Viola, Cello & Bass


Students auditioning for Orchestra will not take the Music Aptitude Test.

Orchestra students should prepare two solos of contrasting style (i.e. one slow and lyrical, one more technical) and should be prepared to play any scale they know.

There will also be a short sight-reading excerpt to assess note and rhythm reading skills. (If a student has no prior experience with a stringed instrument, but would still like to audition for Orchestra, please reach out to Mrs. Maynard directly - griffinc4@duvalschools.org).

The Orchestra Program has multiple performance levels. There is a place in the program for students of all ability levels, including students with no prior experience with a stringed instrument.
