ADDITIONAL NOTES ON AUDITION REPERTOIRE
For your reference and convenience:
FOA Music Lists and Levels can be downloaded from here.
FBA Music Lists and Levels can be downloaded from here.
Please note that ASTA, FOA, FBA and Suzuki level comparisons for solo pieces and ensemble proficiency levels are provided as guidance for teachers and students to assess their potential success in performing with a particular ensemble. Grading systems (for example - ASTA, FOA, Suzuki String guidelines) do not always correlate with each other, and each musician should assume their audition will be assessed on its own merits, rather than strictly by one particular grading system over another.
All auditions will be held at:
FCCJ South Campus, Wilson Center for the Arts
Building M-2, Room 2115
11901 Beach Boulevard
Jacksonville, FL 32246
