While looking at the link, I started browsing around and found this bio of our host on TubeNet. Pretty impressive list of teachers and schools. -Ace

Has anyone received an audition repertoire packet? I'm not able to audition but would love to know what they want to hear.

Thanks!

Does the audition packet come with excerpts of Journey, or do we provide that ourselves? Not trying to be stingy, but I could afford to save the pennies!
There are appropriate times for beauty and crudeness - use both.

Hey TubeNet:

On the duet, top system of page 3, those A-flats should be A-naturals. Thoughts?
