![]() ![]() I don't mean to put more pressure on you, but there probably is more criteria than time. Also, how important is tone and intonation? If you finish within the timeframe and the fingers are perfect, but you are airy and flat on the low end and sharp on the top end, you may still be failed. Finishing within the time frame is obvious. The rules probably also define what is considered success or not. when you can do them all individually within 10 seconds, then put them together. ![]() Practice each scale at 60bpm and 8 beats per scale. Setting the metronome at 60bpm would get you there with time to spare. Root notes are 1/4 notes, and the rest are 1/16th notes, so 8 beats per scale (up and down) in 10 seconds. This is definitely do-able and practice will get you there. The bottom line is you need to be able to play each scale in about 10 seconds, according to whatever specifications are in the rules. Should I keep all the scales at 2 octaves, or do some 3? I can play C and B 3 octaves, and was thinking about starting Db next, but I am unsure of how much doing these scales 3 octaves will limit my available time for auditions. I have played flute since 6th grade.Īlso, I was curious as to how many octaves I should do for my scales. I know flute is very competitive, as many people play flute, and I will be going up against 10th graders (as a 9th grader). However, the scale requirement was only 7 scales in 2 minutes (G, C, F, Bb, Eb, Ab, & Db). I made my All-County band in both 7th and 8th grade (with high chair ranking), as well as my All-State honors band this year. ![]() I was curious as to if any of you had any tips or suggestions or how to attain this. I have been working on these scales for nearly a year now, and can play them well, but not nearly at the tempo they need to be at. We are required to perform all 12 major scales (G, Ab, A, Bb, B, C, Db, D, Eb, E, F, & F#) in 2 minutes or less. The main audition component I am concerned about is my All-State and All-County band audition scale requirements. I am currently in 8th grade and preparing for various auditions that will happen within the next year. ![]()
