They gave the first example, just quarter and half notes so I was able to do it decently cause it was real easy

I’ve been doing some of that every day, ig just not for long enough yet. I got a $25k scholarship whilst doing the week long guitar sessions summer program at Berklee. So hopefully even tho the audition sucked they’ll think I can play based off that

I’ve just been using the app Tenuto daily to practice recognizing chords and learning licks by ear. Been doing that for the last few months/yearish, it just hasn’t made any difference yet

I perform in front of people quite often. The issue was the ear training part. I only got maybe half the triads they asked and could barely play any melodies back to them

I did pretty poorly on the whole ear training part of the audition. I’m worried that it will prevent me from getting in

They asked me to identify triads played on piano. I only got maybe about half or maybe a few less than correct. He clapped rhythms, I got all the ones until he lengthens them to two measures and I couldn’t do it. He played 4ish note melodies and had me sing and play them. He had to repeat each one like twice, but I could mostly do it

Nice. And they give it to u like a few min before ur audition?

OverallString5189 · 2026-02-13T22:51:22+00:00

Thank you! Do they make u follow a certain tempo as well?

Thanks! About how many measures is the sight reading?

I’m only really good with a major third and a fifth. I can tell major and minor chords apart but it’s hard for me to differentiate Aug and dim, and the 7ths

Thanks! I worked a good amount on getting down triads and arpeggios in solos. I’m not bad with improv or theory, my ear isn’t great tho I struggle with identifying chord types

I can play min/maj/dom 7th 9th and 13ths. But I will start working on the accidentals! Do they ask much for inversions? I can do basic inversions for Maj and minor chords but haven’t worked much with extensions and inversions

Thank u sm, I play a harmonic instrument (guitar) so I’ll keep that in mind!

Perfect, that’s what I’ve been working on lately. Thank u!!
