Auditions
Musicians of all skill levels are encouraged to attend the Cornell College Summer Flute Camp. When you arrive on June 23rd, you will be asked to play a short audition. The purpose of this audition is simply for the faculty to be able to group students according to skill level. At the audition, you’ll be asked to play two scales, as well as sight-read a short etude excerpt.
