a: Audition ~
b: taking acting class for free
What: "Robert De Niro gained 50 pounds to play boxer Jake LaMotta in Scorsese's Raging Bull. For one single movie, it's a lot of work. You see, in acting, the word "work" will never disappear. So, back to auditions, they are opportunities to grow and gain experience. An audition is like taking acting class for free."

a: Audition ~
b: playing one huge cadenza
What: "I often tell my students how lucky they are to have an opportunity to audition because all they have to worry about, once the hard work is complete, is communicating the music the best way possible. Without an orchestra to balance, no pitch to match, everything is up to the player, from tempo to pitch. An audition is like playing one huge cadenza that starts with Bach and ends with Stravinsky. Think of it as one performance instead of 14 separate excerpts."
