How should I prepare for Juries?

  • Bring your Evaluation Sheet - already filled out - with you to your jury.
  • Be ready at the door a few minutes before your scheduled time.
  • Allow enough time to warm up on the day of your jury.
    (At the same time, it is counterproductive to over-practice on the day of any performance.)
  • Wear clothes that allow you to move freely (and it never hurts to dress up a little!)
  • Get a good night's sleep the night before.
  • Eat whatever/whenever will give you the energy you need when you need it.
  • Take a nice, deep breath before you start to play.
