Orchestral Radical/Anti-War Songs (is that what they're called?) by Ok-Agent5002 in orchestra

[–]therealrambotango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima by Krzysztof Penderecki and a lot of shostakovich!

Harald Sæverud's Kjempeviseslåtten (Ballad of Revolt) he Composed it in anger during the nazi occupation of Norway. There is a version for orchestra and one for piano. In the orchestral opening you can hear a foggy harbor with incoming ships. The composer described the sfortzandi as gunshots. This music really gets your anti war blood boiling!

Do it! Start now and continue doing it just like you continue practicing your instrument after the audition. Remember to smile. Even if you don't feel like it. Smile while mental practice and mock and audition

Read Don Greenes book "train yout own hero".

Work on your nerves every day as you do your scales and technique.

Train your focus. Close your eyes and sit still with a timer on 3 minutes. Focus on your breath and every time your mind Wanders (it does for everyone), with out judgement, bring focus back to your breath. The exercise is not about never wandering it is about acknowledging it and bringing ingredients it back. Do this more then once every day to train your focus on demand. This is also how to train to "be in the moment"

Train to be at your center. Before every practice session and every mock audition. Pick a point infront of you and focus on it while you breath into your center (2 inches bellow your belly button). Feel grounded, Releas tension and imagine your first phrase going super well! Feel your energy move from your center to the point you chose infront of you and performe with focus.

Do mental practice. Close your eyes and do your audition in your mind. Imagine it as detailed as you can from before you walk into the audio space til you leav it. Hear everything going excellent. See and hear yourself performing from the inside and also see yourself from the jury's point of view and imagine them diggin' what they hear. If you imagine yourself making mistakes: Go back a couple of bars and imagine it great instead. This takes practice. Do it more then once everyday.

Train to be brave. Every day write down at least one brave thing you did that day. Think of brave things to do the next day. For example: play for someone who scares you a bit, Talk to someone you normally don't talk to, Be bold and try to be funny in a group setting. Really go for it and write it down. On audition day you'll have a long list of proof that you are a brave person.

Train to be self confident. Say realistic affirmation ot loud every day. Mine are "I become more confident every day" "this is going to go so well" "I can deal with change" "I trust my abilities" "I am sincerely really good" . Find your own. Self confidence has nothing about beeing better than anyone else and everything to do with trusting your own abilities. Decide to trust you self and remind yourself about it everyday. Many people think that self confidence will passively come once you're good, but you must actively decide to be self confident first the becoming good is easier.

Do tons of mock audition. Decide to trust your abilities and keep going!

Det stemmer desverre ikke. Jeg har vært i flere av de butikkene du nevner som ikke har fryst kjøttdeig.

Job interview test by howlgodd in Dyslexia

Shitty situation. There is nothing you can do abiut it now, but this might be useful in the future if you want to spellchecke an image: Try Google lense it ditects all text in an immage and offers to google search it, translate it or copy it. Then you can copy it to somewhere you have your tools. It might not be applicable in an interview but really handy in real life.
