Audition prep
Preparing for Juilliard, Interlochen, or a top conservatory?
I attended Interlochen Arts Academy and earned my bachelor's and master's degrees at Juilliard. Now I work with a small number of serious students on repertoire, recordings, mock auditions, and the nerves that come with all of it. I'll give you an honest assessment and a clear plan to bring your best playing to the audition.
