Students who are auditioning on euphonium for Rowan University should prepare one study/etude and a contrasting solo.
Acceptable etude books are:
Examples of acceptable level solos include:
Graduate students:
Please email me directly to discuss requirements. I generally require two contrasting movements from different concertos and selected excerpts or an etude.
I greatly encourage all students auditioning at Rowan to call or email me for a lesson as well. Regardless of where a student decides to enroll, students studying music at the college level will be spending vast amounts of time studying one-on-one with their private teacher over their four, six, seven, or eight semesters with that teacher. It is important that the student feels that s/he can work with the teacher and enjoys learning with him/her. If you would like to schedule a lesson with me, please email me at amyschumakerbliss@gmail.com.
Acceptable etude books are:
- Rochut-Melodious Etudes-Book I
- Tyrrell-40 Progressive Studies for Trombone
- Arban- Characteristic Studies or any similar etude collection.
Examples of acceptable level solos include:
- Barat- Introduction and Dance
- Bellstedt- Napoli
- De Luca- Beautiful Colorado
- Capuzzo-Andante et Rondo (arr. Catelinet)
- Curnow- Rhapsody for Euphonium
