The Orchestra Audition Prep Program, designed by MSD master instructor Dr. Vladimir Dyo, is here to help middle and high school students ace the DE All State Orchestra audition.

The Orchestra Audition Prep Program builds core skills through the following activities:

Scales: Students will focus on improving intonation control, articulation, rhythmic accuracy, shifting technique, tone production and bow control.

Sight-Reading: Students will be introduced to important concepts such as recognizing rhythmic patterns, developing the sense of pulse, understanding key and meter, as well as interpretation (dynamics, bowings, phrasing, and musicality).

Solo Repertoire: Students will receive pro tips to improve pitch and rhythmic accuracy, tempo, and interpretation (dynamics, phrasing, articulation, musicality)

Stage Fright and Performance Anxiety: Through mock auditions, a step-by-step audition plan, and mental exercises, students will learn techniques to control nerves and perform under pressure.

Vladimir Dyo has helped numerous students successfully audition for All-State, district, and regional orchestras in NJ, DE, PA, and NY. The program aims to equip students with the skills necessary for successful auditions.

We couldn't let World Mental Health Day go by without highlighting the benefits of music for mental health.

A 2019 study found that college students who listened to classical music every day for two months had significantly lower levels of anxiety. Many studies also suggest that listening to music can lower stress hormones as well as blood pressure and heart rate (both spike when you’re stressed).
