OMEA Audition Prep for Cellists

All-State August is a four-week intensive program to help high school cellists prepare a successful audition for the OMEA All-State Orchestra. Tuition for All-State August includes four two-hour group sessions, one private lesson, and a recording.

The group sessions will focus on the scales and excerpts required for the OMEA All-State Audition. Think of these as group practicing workshop.

The private lesson is a chance for the student to either review what we have worked on in the group sessions or work on their individual solo piece they are preparing for the audition.

On the last day of group sessions, students will participate in mock auditions, which will be recorded. This way, the students walk away from the program with a recording that could be submitted for the All-State Audition.
