[nabs-l] A question about an upcoming audition

[Justin Young]

Hello,
I'm not sure how Berkeley works cuz I've never auditioned there.  I'm
not sure what to advise.  I would say possibly first important step is
to ask if they provide an accompanist.  I say this because ya don't
want to show up thinking there will be one and their like who will be
accompaning for you.  Do you read music Braille?  Do you know music
Theory?  From what I've noticed some schools make you take a Theory
test, but again, I don't know for Berkeley.  I guess overall I would
say to contact them and just get a sense of what their entrance Music
exam is like.  I advise this cuz Berkeley is one of the best music
schools in the nation and recognized throughout the World.  Also, when
contacting them I think it would be a good idea to say to them you are
visually impaired/blind so the accomadations if any can be made.
Hope all of this helps and I wish you great success,
Justin Young
