Audition Videos

All applicants are required to submit videos of yourself playing the instrument you wish to play a camp. Videos do not need to be professional quality, but should be clear and shot in a quiet room where your playing can be clearly heard.
At the start of the video introduce yourself and your song. We must be able to see your face and hands in the video. It is not required that you memorize your music, but you should know it well enough to "perform" the piece, not just play it.
