Audition Requirements

Auditions for Medisky Oboe Studio don't need to be perfect, but should demonstrate the student's knowledge of oboe fingerings, ability to play major scales, and ability to read music and rhythms. This will be a teaching audition, meaning students will receive instruction in all areas as they play through the requirements.
