The Illinois Music Education Association district concert band and jazz band auditions are a great way to challenge yourself musically and have the opportunity to play in a combined band comprised of many other like-minded musicians! Even if you are not selected, you will undoubtedly improve on your instrument and be ready for auditions the next time around.
The music can look intimidating at first, but I am willing to help out each student to help with any questions you might have, and help with strategies and a practice plan to help motivate you and help you grow musically. In my experience, students who start preparing the music at the beginning of the summer feel more confident during the auditions in the fall.
Please email Mr. Schaefers at [email protected] if you are interested and he will help you obtain the sheet music for auditions. Please specify Concert Band or Jazz Band.
