All-State Audition Prep Program for Violinists

About this event

@

Grades 7 to 12 | Get ready for the 2027 Delaware All-State Junior and Senior Orchestra auditions with a program built around the official audition rubric, so students become familiar with how they’ll be scored. Dr. Dyo’s students have successfully auditioned for youth, regional, and all-state orchestras in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and New York, including concertmaster positions. Over six 2-hour sessions, students work on every part of the audition:

• Solo repertoire: Learn practice concepts that reveal the technique behind each section, making every practice session more productive.

• Scales: Understand the structure and concepts behind each scale, and develop consistent intonation, control of each unit, clean shifts, and a steady beat.

• Sight-reading: Build the fundamentals of successful sight-reading through Dr. Dyo’s compact exercises, designed to prepare students for Sight Reading Factory, the platform used at the audition.

• Managing performance anxiety: Experience a full mock audition scored with the official rubric, and prepare a plan for audition day with strategies for staying in control under pressure.

The program supports the work students do with their school music directors and private teachers. It does not replace it. For students without private lessons, it’s a great way to prepare with structure and experienced guidance. DMEA applications due Friday, November 13, 2026, through the student’s school music director. Auditions are Saturday, January 9, 2027. This program is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Delaware Music Educators Association (DMEA) or the Delaware All-State Ensembles. Enrollment does not register students for All-State auditions.
