Welcome to Audition Mastery

The training that teaches classical instrumentalists how to audition for orchestras with confidence (and without nerves!) using a proven 3-step method.

If you experience nerves — stage fright, shaking, sweating, loss of motor control, or any other symptoms — when you take auditions, you already know how seriously that affects your chances of getting ahead as a musician.  You need help.

“I wish I had a course like this when I was a student…there’s no way you’re not a better performer after having gotten this information.”

– David Krauss, Principal Trumpet of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra

There’s a fork in the road in front of you, right here and now.  You can either continue doing things the way you’ve been doing them – but working longer and longer hours, risking injury and burnout…

(But you’ll still most likely choke when you get to the audition)

Or…

You can dive into the Audition Mastery Academy training, where you’ll learn an entirely new way of approaching auditions.  One that prepares your mind and your body for the heightened stress that comes with auditioning.

You see, you don’t need to accept nerves and all of those debilitating symptoms as just the way things are.  You can change all that.

But NOT by practicing more.  Not by practicing harder.  Not by doing things the same old way.  (That’s the road to continued frustration and disappointment…)

The only way to change your audition performance is to change the way you’re preparing for them.

And the Audition Mastery Academy, taught by celebrated conductor and pedagogue Paul Haas and Met Opera Orchestra principal trumpet David Krauss, will give you everything you need to do that successfully.

With this information and guidance, you’ll be able to change yourself and your audition preparation from the inside out…achieving something you maybe thought was impossible.

 

Audition Mastery.

If you want “success” as a classical musician – however you define that – you absolutely need to be able to play a great audition.

It’s not just about being a wonderful musician, though clearly that’s important.

It’s not about playing great.  It’s about playing great in the audition.  Under extreme stress.

That’s where winners are made.
