• 3:00-4:45- Campus tour/Chipotle stop with the amazing, Matt Torgler
• Went home

Details on the audition:

Well I thought for my first audition, things went pretty well. First, I played two scales and arpeggios for the committee. Next, I played my complete Bach prelude and fugue. It went well but I missed some notes. Next, I played the G minor Brahms Rhaspsody until the return of the main theme. I finished with the preludes one and two from Kennan's Three Preludes. They, unfortunately, didn't have time to hear the third. Lastly, I had to do some pitch matching (they played a pitch and I had to match it by singing) and sightreading. Both went well, especially the sightreading :)

Overall, I really liked my second visit/audition at BW. The piano faculty members are very nice and I really enjoyed my lesson with one of them on my first visit. I like the small size of the campus and the overall supportive atmosphere is gives off.

My next audition is at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan on Friday, January 28. In the meantime I'll be practicing. :]
