Online practial admission

• 1. Pitch (maximum 3 minutes)

  Start the pitch to introduce yourself (name, place of residence, instrument(s) and age). Speak clearly and not too quickly.
  
  Then tell us a bit about yourself and answer the following questions:

  • How long have you been playing music?
  • How long have you had lessons, and who was your teacher?
  • What is your musical background (education, experience)
  • In what kind of bands/ensembles have you played?
  • Describe your role as a musician in a band, considering your specific instrument.
  • What do you like when it comes to playing your instrument and making music in general; who are your influences and heroes (especially regarding your own instrument)?
  • What kind of music do you prefer to listen to?
  • Do you play more than one instrument and if so, which ones?
  • Do you create/write your own music? Tell us about it (and/or show us in your performance)
  • Are you open to different musical styles?
  • What motivates you to choose an education and career in music? How do you see your future, professionally?
  • How well do you work alone?
  • How well do you work with other people?
• 2. Video (maximum 10 to 15 minutes)

  In this video you show a summary of your practice admission assignments (which you have already received from us). At least 1 piece must be in ensemble with other musicians.
  
  Every track/each individual piece, has to be recorded in one take - no editing is allowed. Also, do not change camera position during a track. The tracks need not all be recorded on the same day or in the same loation. Do make sure that both, yourself and your instrument, are clearly visible and audible.
