Repertoire: Students are required to play technique and two (2) (levels Intermediate E through Advanced F) to three (3) (levels Elementary B through Intermediate D) memorized pieces from contrasting periods. Use the Achievement Auditions Syllabus as your guide for selecting technique, repertoire, and for other specifics.
