College audition material

Well, sorry, I worded that wrong, they offered a full TUITION and then they offered to help out with some student fees and housing but it wasn't a complete full ride. Mind you that this was about a little about 3 years ago when I auditioned and I'm not sure how their scholarship situation is anymore. To be totally honest, he said the same things about me, but like I said, I politely declined. I currently take lessons from Matt Moore (who subs for the Utah Symphony) and, when I'm able too, from Gary Ofenloch, the principal tuba of the Utah Symphony.

I just have to say that I'm not trying to get you to come to Weber State (unless you want to

), I'm just letting you know ONE personal experience from BYU and I hope that you go to where ever you feel best.

I graduated from BYU in music ed in 1996. If you have questions about that school, instructors, etc. feel free to email me at tlevar *at* gmail.com

It's a very good music school. If you're "close" to being able to play the first movement of the VW on a BBb, you are pretty prepared for the competition there. (Although I reiterate the other suggestions to play something you are rock solid on, instead of something that might be too difficult.)

I'm going to try and go but I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to be able to make it too (I'm not really able to plan that far ahead). Do you know the time that Oystein Baddsvik will be doing his masterclasses on Saturday mornin'? Everything I've seen for it just says "morning".... Depending on how early the master class is on Saturday, I might go to the concert on Friday and spend the night in Provo just so I don't have to drive the 2 hours back home and then 2 hours early in the mornin' on Saturday.

Is any information about the BYU Octubafest available online?
